Sports betting is not illegal in my country. According to some key gambling and betting statistics
1,2:
- There are over 60 million active gamblers.
- $2 billion is spent on gambling everyday
- 53% of people in my country bet at least once per day. Our population is around 200 million people.
- There are 14 million bet stakes and payments that are made over the internet every day
- and others
We are actually a gambling nation and the market is highly profitable. I wonder why despite these statistics, yet some sport betting and casino sites haven't taken advantage of it. As I conducted my research, I noticed that some casinos don't offer or no longer offers their services to people in my country. There are other countries with similar situation too. And it begs the question: why the reluctance? Such hesitation seems out of place in a country where gambling is legal.
