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.
So we have a country for almost each region: north america, asia and australia. Did any of the countries in the list surprise you? Is there a particular country you want to visit purposefully just to gamble? Whole list can be seen

The countries of the European continent are very ahead in all areas, be it gambling or anything else. They use gambling as a place of fun, but those who are from middle class families use gambling as a source of income. Because they think that they can win a lot of money from gambling and through it they can become rich. And after playing for a few days, when they face a lot of losses, they stop gambling. But since the people of the European continent use gambling as fun, they always continue to gamble for fun purposes and the population of that country is very high, so these countries are at the top in all areas, be it gambling or anything else.
