A Booming Online Casino Industry

Industry and market analysts have predicted that the global online casino gambling industry will experience a major surge in business within the next five years and many established companies will at least double their current revenues. A piece in the MoneyObserver last week noted that likelihood that the software development companies like Playtech and others could more than experience extreme growth as more online casinos and gambling sites enter the market to meet the growing demands of internet gamblers. The growth is predicted to come from the currently expanding European market as well as expectations that both the Asian and U.S. online gambling markets will open within the next several years.

There is no shortage of information on why the U.S. is currently out of the global online casino gambling industry – many industry veterans though anticipate a resolution to the U.S. issue next year – as soon as a new U.S. president is voted into office. As for the Asian gambling industry, online casinos and forms of internet betting and gambling are largely illegal in most of the Asian-Pacific region. While the region is opening up to online gaming at this point – games like internet Mahjong are increasingly popular, actual gambling through the internet is still a big no-no and could net the offenders some serious jail time.

Even without the revenues from the opening of either the Asian or the U.S. online casino gambling industry, industry analysts predict that the European has not even begun to reach its full potential. The European Commission is currently waging battles against several EU nations that continue to contravene EU policies by operating state monopolies. While some states continue to adamantly refuse to end the state-run monopolies the Commission will have negotiated compromises in those cases within the next couple of years.
