AMBITIOUS TURNOVER CLAIMS IN NEW ONLINE CASINO GAMBLING BOOK
$125 billion in onling casino gambling industry revenues by 2015 may be stretching
A press release from the Irish company Research and Markets this week includes a a revenue prediction that the online caisno and gambling industry revenues could reach $125 billion by 2015, a staggering number that may be on the ambitious side given that 2005 revenues are generally expected to be in the $10 to 12 billion range.
Research and Markets was announcing the addition of The Online Gambling Market Research Handbook to their offering, which they claim is "The most comprehensive resource for online gambling market data available from any source."
Written by Terri C. Walker, an expert in the online caisno and gambling industry for ten years, The Online Gambling Market Research Handbook claims to cover every aspect of the online gambling industry and is designed to be a "strategic business planning resource" for executives in all segments of the online casino and gaming business. The book provides information on market development strategies and competitor analysis, consumer trends and independent market data to support business planning.
The report provides a profile analysis of over 70 key players, and a future market outlook, advising that the increase in the number of online gamers continues to grow, keeping pace with the rapid escalation of people accessing the Internet. Quoting a March 2000 study of close to 30,000 Internet users by the Angus Reid Group the book reveals that the United States represents only 39 percent of the estimated 275 million Internet users worldwide. By the end of 2001, approximately 52 million people globally wagered over $3 billion on Internet gaming. Startlingly, it claims that on average, the (online) casinos keep about 75 percent of monies deposited.
