NEW Betting Sites in the UK ✔️ Tested 【Dec 2024】

Gambling and sports betting in particular has always managed to flourish and this has a lot to do with the fact that sports in general is one of the leading forms of entertainment in the world. We have already seen that even when the rest of the world gets locked down, major sports and leagues still continue to give the fans an outlet of entertainment. For hundreds of years, we have seen that wherever there are sports events, there are betting markets. The rapid progression of technology has now given millions of stakers access to an entire world off betting opportunities. Mobile betting is clearly a huge development and along with in-play betting, stakers now have an endless supply of markets on sports events from all four corners of the land. It doesn’t stop there though; we are seeing a huge emergence in esports betting and this is set to expand rapidly as technology advances and the digital world of sport grows as well as new betting sites appear. VR sports betting is another area in which the industry expects to see growth and there is also the continuing presence of digital money. Cryptocurrencies are still with us and there will surely come a point in time when the regulators and gambling acts will need to start taking them more seriously.

Stakersland and the sports betting markets look set to continue their rise because after all, sports entertainment will always remain relevant and exciting. The big trends that are set to emerge between now and 2025 include the growth of potential markets within the US and major Asian and African countries. What we expect to see is for the rules around digital betting to be weakened around many of these of emerging markets, and the old laws to get updated to something more in line with the modern digital world that we live in. Gambling technology will continue to grow and it is up to the countries and regulators to keep up with this and to keep their laws up to date. Mobile gambling, cryptocurrencies, and live casinos will all continue to become a huge part of the gambling world, and fresh new ideas such as board games and full VR betting experiences are areas to look forward to in the not so distant future.

All the advancement in technology and the ever changing behaviour of stakers results in gambling acts becoming quickly out of date. All eyes are on the upcoming UK Gambling Act, which was previously scheduled for a revamp in 2020, but due to the recent global pandemic the future gambling laws are now set to be discussed in 2021 or possibly even 2022. Whenever it does come then it will not mean instant changes overnight, but you can think of this as future plan for the landscape of UK gambling, for both existing and new betting sites. Some of the major points to be discussed will likely be based around staker safety and so this covers details like self-exclusion rules and responsible gambling tools. Other important talking points include the removal of VIP schemes and loyalty points, stricter stake limits, a clamp down on advertising and sponsorship, awareness of black market gambling, and increased active monitoring on staker activity.
