Online gambling has been on the rise, and with it, other various sectors as well. Interestingly enough, more than half the gambling population is made up of women. It was not too long ago that online gambling was a more male dominated thing. For awhile, women made up a third of the gambling population, but somewhere along the way, more women jumped on the gambling wagon, and now there’s as many women gambling as there are men!

For some time now, the British government has been working on a proposal that would see to it that offshore online gambling operators start paying taxes in the United Kingdom. They would do this by expecting the offshore online gambling operators to obtain secondary licenses in the United Kingdom.
It has been determined that an estimated £300 million a year in revenue is being lost, and that’s a lot of revenue for the government to be missing out on!

The plan comes from Conservative MP Mathew Hancock, and his idea to raise this substantial amount is to ask new legislation to crack down on tax avoidance by the gambling industry.

Earlier this week, investors were warned that gambling stocks may not be the best bet this year. A planned tax hike for the industry is likely to cause a decline in profits, and investors are likely to suffer if they decide to buy shares in local gaming companies.
