What’s Next For Online Gambling?
December 18th, 2009
There is no doubt that online gambling is here to stay. Analyst predict further growth in the sector for the next 5 years. I’m still amazed by the rise of online bingo. Never did I realise that online bingo would become the biggest form of gambling in the UK. The main reason for the rapid growth of online bingo is that for the first time online gambling companies have been able to target women. Female gamblers were an untapped market which now is being heavily targeted. So we have seen the online bingo boom in the last few years so what do we think the new boom will be.
Well I wish I knew but I suppose I can make an educated guess. We are starting to see casino games based on game shows. Games such as Deal or no Deal and even a range of X Factor games have become very popular online on sites such as Jackpotjoy Bingo and 32Red Casino. These though in my opinion are just online gambling operators cashing in on the popularity of the shows. I would expect in the next year or two a game show developed especially for gambling sector followed by many more.
What the format or topic of the show is anyone’s guess but I’m pretty sure I will be proved right!
