A new survey in Holland has found that some 1.5 million residents either have gambled or gamble regularly on the internet. Indeed the total gambled online each year using online gambling sites have topped 500 million euros.
The study carried out by Motivaction on seventeen thousand Dutch people which was commissioned by Holland Casino, the survey found that 15% or 1.5 million Dutch residents played online bingo, poker roulette and blackjack and of that number 800,000 played at least four times a year or more.
It also showed that Dutch residents spent on average 26 euros a month leading Motivaction to estimate the Dutch market is worth a minimum of 500 million euros per year. With online gambling currently illegal in the Netherlands, the treasury is losing out on about 100 million euros a year in taxes that could have been collected.
However Holland Casino who commissioned the survey thinks that Motivaction’s estimation is very conservative, pointing to Denmark, where online gambling is legal. There Danish gamblers whose population is 5.6 million gamble on average 338 million euros online in the first 9 months of this year alone.
With Holland having nearly 17 million resident, the Dutch online gambling market could be worth over a billion euros say Holland Casino.
