H2 Article for the European Gaming and Betting Association Confirms Europe as the Largest eGaming Market
01-May-2009
An article written by H2 regarding the scale of the European eGaming sector was published in the latest edition of the European Gaming and Betting Association’s (EGBA) newsletter.
The article highlighted that since the passing of the UIGEA in October 2006, Europe has become the largest eGaming market. However, with both state and federal initiatives in the US to legalise eGaming, Europe’s position at the top of the tree could be short lived.
For the time being, the €6.9bn of gross win generated by Europe’s eGaming industry during 2008 still represented only 7.7% of the continent’s total gambling business up from 6.3% the previous year. This compares to the corresponding global figures of 6.7% and 5.5%.
