Many of thebest gambling sites claim their player numbers are increasing.
In spite of this the UK gambling commission has announced that the number of online gamblers have remained the same. The gambling commission was setup in 2005 to ensure the industry remains regulated and controlled. The numbers of online gamblers is apparently the same as it was last year. Even with the increased investment in TV advertisement and online promotional activities the number is aid to have remained the same.
Online operators were only allowed to broadcast TV adverts last year after legislation allowing the move was passed. Many criticised the move however the law seems not to have increased the numbers of online gamblers.
Some of the largest online gambling brands have produced TV ads including, Foxy Bingo, Intercasino and PKR. All these companies have invested several millions into their advertising but apparently have with no major effect. Part of this could be down the economic recession. Their study asked 8,000 whether or not they gamble in the lottery, interactively or online. Only 8.8 per cent had gambled in any of these forms.
The gambling commission is also responsible for the advertising of gambling products in the UK. They have a website full of information regarding legislation and ruling regarding gambling, casinos and bingo halls.
