Online Internet Casino Sites Gain Acceptance
Online internet casino site operators, anti- online gambling advocates, and professors who study the online gambling industry can all agree on one thing: the online internet casino industry is continuing to grow, with all eyes on the sports betting sector in particular.
Online internet casino analysts agree that the sports betting aspect of the industry will grow 10-20% per year in the coming years. Currently, online internet casino sports betting takes in $100 billion per year. By the year 2008, analysts predict that up to $865 billion will be bet on sports each year.
Analysts give several explanations for the rapid proliferation of online sports betting. First of all, a new generation of sports fans, who are more comfortable using the internet than any previous generation, will soon come of age and take their betting online. Also, the availability of sports fantasy leagues on the internet may lead some players to begin gambling for money. Thirdly, internet gambling sites are becoming increasingly marketing- savvy, using popular celebrities to give their websites respectability and allure. Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg, and actress Shannon Elizabeth have all lent their names to online gambling sites, as has former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura.
