Some companies think that there are opportunities to grow. “There is growth in this activity even without the United States”, assured the technology analyst of Blackmont Capital, Woject Nowak.
As a consequence of the American law, many companies that operated in gambling sites announced their plans to abandon the American market and concentrate on other regions. It is expected for online gambling to grow to reach about U$S 15 thousand million a year in relation to the U$S 12 thousand million of the year 2005, according to the analyst of the DesJardins Securities, David Shore. While the United States has half of the gambling market on Internet, this activity evened less than 4 per cent of the estimated U$S 260 thousand million of the global gambling market, shore said.
The analysts tend to think that the importance of the American bettors through Internet has to do more with the easy access to broadband than with a lack of gambling culture of the rest of the world.
The United States has 36 per cent of every broadband connection in the 30 countries members of the Organization for the Economic Cooperation and Development, according to the report they have presented. Europe is getting close to the US. In Asia, Korea and Japan there are high values of access to the broadband, but in China, the most populous nation, there aren’t.
