gadgets fueled a breakthrough in the development of e-commerce sector.
The brand-new opportunities contributed to drastic changes in all spheres
of business, and gambling is no exception. Naturally the expansion of changes into

the conflict between ‘conservatives’ and ‘reformers’.

acquires its relevance. According Firebear Studio, last
year the number of transactions from mobile devices grew
up to 18% of all purchases on the web. The percentage of operating on mobile devices has increased from 38% in 2012 to 53% in 2014.
This direction couldn’t have left online gambling
untouched, which is evidenced by comprehensive researches of the authoritative
H2 Gambling Capital and iGaming Business. Online
market is not consolidated and it is being developed still.
Until now, there is even no single terminological apparatus: the same phenomenon called different
companies in different ways. The concept of ‘online
gambling’ causes misunderstandings. H2 Gambling Capital and iGaming Business,
for example, referred to as the entire online gaming market
segment, First Gaming distinguishes it from mobile segment.
Others, such as The European Lotteries Association and Scientific Games, do not refer online lotteries to this notion. Nevertheless, the industry is rocketing.
H2 Gambling Capital and iGaming Business projected the total revenue from online
gambling winnings (including betting) in 2014 amounted to C$30,
6 Bln. According to the study, the total income
of the global online gaming industry will grow from C$6,6 billion 2003 to C$ 32,5 billion in 2015-m and C$42,8
billion 2018. By that time, in terms of profitability Europe will continue to lead, although the
gap with other continents will be reduced, especially with Asia.
A doubling of revenues from online gambling in the United States is expected.
Betting will retain its leading position on the Internet,
but will gradually show a slowdown. In this case, the yield is expected to increase the online
casino, which by 2018 will also double their performance.
Such growth will be observed in all sectors, except for
online bingo. http://www.nbso.ca/reviews/
