Online gambling and the UK economy moving

While 2016 may have been a tough year, there is some trepidation going into 2017 and what the future will bring for the UK economy. With Brexit looming in March, or whenever the government will start it, there are many questions as to how the economy will handle the changes.

With UK online Casino Cruise and other betting sites are contributing greatly to the UK economy it is fair to say that this is one industry that will continue to thrive. With projections saying that online gambling could be worth over £10 billion by 2020, it is obvious that a ‘bad’ Brexit may hit this, but then, again will it?

This of course may also complicate things further, but until the changes of Brexit are felt, it will be hard to know just how things will be changed.

What we do know though is that there are plenty of people who love to play games online, and love to bet on the big football games, horse racing, and many other sports. Gambling will remain as popular as ever, but it will no doubt be the cost of playing that will change, and the amount of winnings that reach our
