good to know, but it would be better if you could share the most recent study conducted about it. both the study you posted was released in a different year. one is in 2017 and the other is in 2016.
I wonder how Macau is not a part of any of these two lists!! Macau is a country whose economy is based on gambling businesses where 40% of their GDP is delivered by gambling! But these are really land based casinos which means the numbers here show the tip of the iceberg. Due to the social taboos around the world, a lot of people don't really visit the land based casino and these group of people actually enjoys the online casinos from the comfort of their home! And it is really difficult to capture that number correctly!
isn't Macau still part of China? as far as I know even though Macau have its own economy, government, etc.. they were still considered as part of China. correct me if I'm wrong.
Macau is actually an administrative region of China. It has its own government and economic system so I believe that Macau is already part of the list under the Country of China. Macau is known to be the best place to gamble in China and that's the reason why it has the highest rate of gamblers on the first chart despite the illegality of gambling in some parts of their country.
