About Us

Over the past ten years Bettingmarket.Com has extensively chronicled events, as the traditional betting industry landscape has been altered beyond all recognition. In a nutshell, rapid advances in technology have unleashed the forces of disintermediation, deconstruction and deregulation. During this period, the U.K. betting market has grown from 13 billion pounds to 53 billion pounds.

The lines of demarcation have become blurred - traditional betting shops now resemble mini gaming emporiums. Mobile phones are being turned into casinos on the move. Betting exchanges have upset the traditional order and Web 2.0 platforms promise to unleash a seamless global betting market.

Regulators are presented with the task of regulating nascent and constanly evolving technologies. State monopolies within Europe are coming under pressure, whilst the US has now moved to stamp out online gambling once and for all.

Since 1998 Bettingmarket.Com, Europe's foremost free-to-broadband betting industry journal, has provided a concise and objective analysis of the changes impacting upon the global betting industry, applying knowledge and experience from the fields of marketing, economics and law.

The website presents an open resource of knowledge and learning free from the spin of the PR agencies; the stilted eulogies of the city analysts, the repetition of the market researchers and the verbose diatribe of the corporate lawyers.

During its short life bettingmarket.com has predicted the demise of sports content sites, the numerous small online bookmakers, the sportsman newspaper and cast a cold, objective eye on the growth of the betting exchanges.

Many hands write the articles that appear on Bettingmarket.Com, but the journal speaks with a collective voice.
