Online Gambling Becomes Safe Bet for Investors

The online gambling industry has always been somewhat of a dark horse in the financial world. It has always had a bad reputation, thanks to a few shady companies that made that entire industry look bad. Now, thanks to online gambling regulation in several countries across the world, financial analysts are finally giving the online gambling industry the attention it deserves.

According to a recent report, financial investors believe that 2011 will be a good year for online gambling companies that are publicly listed, such as Bwin. This company’s recent merger with PartyGaming has also put the online gambling industry in a positive light for investors. The merger, expected to be worth $5.5 billion, is one of the biggest that the online gambling industry has ever seen.

Now, with companies worth exorbitant amounts of money, the online gambling industry is finally gaining some clout with the financial sector. Many online gambling operators have now decided to follow in the footsteps of companies like Bwin and PartyGamiing, hoping to earn attention from investors.

It is also expected that more online  gambling operators will begin going public in the new year. After seeing the immense success of Party Gaming and Bwin, it would come as no surprise.
