The Reuters informs, that western online gambling companies can escape the problems of the world economy, moreover, the industry expects an average growth of ten percent, even higher than in the past year.
Clive Hawkswood, chief executive director of the European Remote Gambling Association noted that the online gambling market is coping very well with the recession and will continue to increase the turnover of the services.

In January, Landbrokes and William Hill, two bookmakers from England, also noted that their profits during the crisis have increased, compared to all other companies in this industry, which can not even work without loss and are just waiting for better times hoping to stay in this services sector.

Online bookmakers relate this tendency with the fact that people, indifferent to casino entertainment, visit online casinos more often, trying to save money on transportation and housing. And the global crisis cannot limit them, they think, they reduce at least their costs this way.
