Internet gambling is the fastest-growing area of gambling, and it is worth billions of dollars annually. Its popularity lies in a number of factors, most obviously its convenience to the online user, as it allows the customer to play their choice of game from the comfort of their own home. The result of this is that new Internet gambling sites are springing up every day, and there is more choice than ever before for the online gamer.

There's a shitload of online casinos and i think it's impossible to set a fixed number.

It surprises me that 1996 was the year of the first online casino. I thought it would have been during the 80's? Saying that computers didn't really take off in the home in a big way until the mid 90's.

I don't think you will ever get a definate answer to that question as there are so many coming on line almost each day.
Online betting is certainly a big growth business and due to its convenience is going to carry on growing for many years to come.
