I got curious what region of the world is the most popular for gambling and I came across a ranking of countries based on their total gambling gross loss. The Top 5 are as follows: 1) United States, 2) China, 3) Japan, 4) Italy, and 5) Australia. As I expected US is the first when it comes to gambling. Around 26% of US adults placed bets on the Superbowl in 2024, totaling around 23.1 billion dollars in wagers. This amount rose by approximately $7 billion compared to the previous year. Their total loss annually comes up to $116.9 billion. I am not surprised as well that China and Japan followed but what surprised me is Italy and Australia. Traditional gambling activities like Baccarat and Fibonacci also originate from Italy. Venice and Milan are two of the country’s largest gambling hubs, featuring over 15 casinos. But Italy did not strike me as a country where people specifically visit to gamble in.
It is no wonder that the United States is ranked first as the country with the most gamblers, because that is where the heaven of gamblers from all over the world gathers. It turns out that the movies I often watch are true. lolJust like you, I was also quite surprised that numbers 4 and 5 were occupied by Italy and Australia, I thought it was occupied by one of the countries in the Middle East.
