March 16 -
That time of year is once again firmly upon us known as 'March
Madness', traditionally associated with the annual NCAA basketball
tournament and the basketball fans who wager on games via some of their favorite online casinos
or online sports betting sites.
As online gambling in all its forms continues grow in popularity
around the globe, online casino insiders have speculated that the volume
of online betting and wagering during this March Madness period will
dwarf the
online gambling action generated during football's Super Bowl XL earlier
this year.
To give you an idea of how online casinos and online sports betting
sites have revolutionized the way people bet, regular bookies in
Las Vegas are expected to attract around $90 million in bets during this NCAA
basketball tournament. Not small cheese. However, online
sports books are expected to attract $1.3 billion, during March
Madness alone!
Super Bowl XL attracted only about $600 million in online wagers
this year.
While the controversy surrounding the legality of online casinos and
online gambling continues to rage in the United States,
long-established online casino operators such as
InterCasino continue
to support the
legalization and regulation of online gambling in the US.
