The United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC), the governing body for gambling activities in the UK, last week published a report into the behavior of British gamblers between the year 2008 and 2014.
Databuild Research and Solutions Ltd compiled the report on behalf of the UKGC and some of the statistics make interesting reading, particularly when one looks at online gambling and remote (or offshore) gambling by British punters.
Participation in remote gambling has increased almost 50 percent over the past six years, from 9.7 percent in December 2008 to 15.4 percent in December 2014.
