In fact, online bingo has taken over in popularity from its land-based counterpart in a big way with people of all ages now enjoying their games as well as making new contacts online.
We are all well aware that choice is a great thing for consumers but the migration online by many people highlighted issues with the existing legislation with the 2005 Gambling Act being described as ‘weak’ and ‘sluggish’ especially when covering the problem of problem gambling.
Not only was the 2005 Gambling Act shown to be insufficient, as businesses actually struggled to remain compliant. This fact was proven with the online gambling firms of Caesars Entertainment UK and Betway paying in excess of £10 million for breaching problem gambling and ALM laws.

US Online Casino Demographics: Who Plays Online For Money? / Personal_Finance / Gambling
By: Submissions
The US government has passed a series of laws to strike down the gambling restrictions in the recent period. The 2018 abolition of PASPA (on the federal level) was among the latest significant moves. Each state has thus received the right to legalize sports betting as a significant part of its gambling industry. A solid portion of states did so right upon the PASPA repealing and others are just on the way to follow the pattern.
Gambling, both online and land-based, has thus never been as accessible and widespread across the country as it is at the moment. Many operators took advantage of the opportunity to expand their business lines to numerous states. Besides the casino games (including lottery, keno, scratch cards, etc.), the Americans now have the chance to enjoy a wide range of exotic sports betting markets too. For example, Pointsbet Sportsbook offers a new gambling form known as points betting. With this in mind, we believe it is a perfect time to draw the line and see the numbers in terms of US online casino demographics. Who puts the most time in gambling online and who prefers old-fashioned brick-and-mortar venues instead?
