“Whilst the FTSE and Dow Jones
nose dive, the smart entrepreneurs
are getting nose bleeds as online
gambling climbs to new heights”
Online Gaming Market Values
Currently the largest online gaming
market in the world, Europe’s five
biggest hitters are the UK, Spain,
Germany, France and Italy. Currently
UK
worth €1.8bn, the UK market is
predicted to grow by 8.8% per year,
reaching €2.7bn when the London
Olympics are staged. The second-
placed Spanish market, now valued at
Germany
€1.2m will soon take pole position,
growing by an estimated 240% over
the next three years. Italy is growing at
twice the UK rate, rising from €260m
France
to €584m by 2012. There is no official
market value for France but, with Italy
deregulation on the way, the French
market will be worth an estimated
€679m in four years’ time. Conversely,
€414m-worth of online wagers in
Germany hangs in the balance
Spain
following recent restrictions imposed in
Germany. The international gaming
sector continues to put pressure on
German legislators via EU courts, in
order to try and reverse the situation.
