Gambling Preferences in Canada
Recently a national survey in Canada analyzed the players’ interests. It’s revealed that younger Canadian gamblers play technology driven games rather than more traditional games. In accordance with the article that was published in the Montreal Gazette a third part of Canadians said that now they were gambling considerably less than thirty years ago. In contrast to this a great number of under 35 players said that they are gambling much more since the internet casinos and technology platforms for online games appeared. In spite of the noticeable rise in younger Canadian players of internet gambling games, the industry isn’t able to make use of the market yet because of legal restrictions that outlaw gambling online.
The Chairman of Harris/Decima, Allan Gregg said clearly “Sadly for Canadian lottery jurisdictions, this younger group approves the technology driven gambling of the future.” additionally, he stated that 56% of Canadian citizens who are from 18 to 35 years old believed that internet sportsbetting, online poker and other internet-based gambling games are acceptable gambling forms. Likewise, they also prefer interactive lottery games, interactive TV gambling and the lottery tickets purchase through mobile devices to land-based gambling.
More than 3 thousand Canadians took place in this lately conducted survey. The survey showed that in fact only a small number of older players preferred virtual sports betting; 20% of the players aged over 55 and 35% of the players who are over 35. In spite of legal restrictions, there’s now as much as $400 million being produced every year by young Canadian players through foreign jurisdictions.
