The number of Britons who made Internet gambling has increased more than sixfold in the last year, according to a survey released on Tuesday the online casino firm 888. com.
10 percent of British women and 16 percent of men said they would consider bet all of their possessions for the prize of 5 million, said 888.com, which analysts say could be the next virtual casino quoted on the London Stock Exchange.
His survey of two thousand 700 people on the streets of Great Britain showed an increase of 566 percent in the amount of money betting on the Internet since late 2003.
Internet gambling is a successful industry in Britain, one of the few jurisdictions where it is well received.
Last week, the company's largest Internet poker world, PartyGaming, said he was considering what would be one of the largest launches in the stock market in three years, approximately £ 3,000 million (5,700 million dollars .)
And in October, shares of Sportingbet UK - the firm's largest Internet betting world - rose more than 50 percent after acquiring Paradise Poker, PartyGaming rival led by supermodel Caprice American.
Attempts to relax gambling laws in Britain have faced resistance from activists who fight against addiction and the tabloids.
Mark Griffiths, professor of gambling studies at Nottingham Trent University, told Reuters that there was little evidence that Internet gambling would be more harmful than other forms of gambling.
But he warned that it might play with virtual money and decrease their psychological value that online casinos could cause problems for those with addictions because they are available 24 hours a day. 888.com
announced Tuesday that the amount membership had reached 13 million this week, of the 2.7 million they had in 2002.
