French Gambling License Goes to UniBet

Monday, November 1st, 2010

Ever since the French gambling market opened its doors to international operators, online casinos have been pushing and shoving their way to get into the country. Dozens of online casinos were granted online gambling licenses earlier in the year, and now Unibet has just become the latest operator to enter France’s market.

UniBet was a popular operator in France before the country began prohibiting international companies from offering their services to players. However, when the country did enact its monopoly, UniBet was kicked out and was not allowed to re enter until the EU required France to change its laws. It has been a long process, but UniBet is finally back in France’s online gambling market.

Industry insiders believe that UniBet will do well in the coming months. Because the company had such a big, successful presence in France’s online gambling industry before, it is believed that the operator will regain its old players and continue to thrive the way it did before the online gambling ban was enacted. In the future, we can expect to see big things from Unibet in France’s newly-regulated online gambling market.

A recent report by iGaming Business as stated that the online gambling industry is only expected to grow in the future. It has been on a steady incline for the past decade and shows no signs of slowly down, according to the online gaming publication.

Although there was a downswing last year due to the global recession, this year has seen a great deal of growth. As the recession continues to come to close, an increasing number of gambling fans now have more disposable income available. They can now spend their money more freely, and online gambling gives them the opportunity to do so.

Currently, the online gambling industry is worth about $4.7 billion, but by the end of the 2014, it is expected to nearly double to about $7 billion worldwide.

Social networking is the key to the growth of the online gambling industry. More and more casino operators are using websites like Facebook and Twitter to solicit new customers and maintain relationships with existing players. It is important that operators take advantage of the vast opportunities that are out there because they will certainly contribute to the growth of the industry over the next couple of years.

Also, the opening up of many different gambling markets around the world is sure to help the online gambling market grow. France and The United States are expected to be some of the most lucrative markets in the world and they will both be of great value to the industry at large.
