Online gambling is growing in popularity across Asia, especially in sports such as football. Casinos are a popular choice, too, and there is a great amount of choice when it comes to online casinos.
In China the State-run lotteries are a commonplace form of gambling in China right now. But the situation could be set to change.
As some people in China are already embarking on online gambling despite its dubious legal status. And with the country becoming increasingly Westernised, perhaps a change in the law could happen soon.
Macau is one of the world’s top locations for gambling. As such, it is a very popular location for tourists from across Asia. Some of the planet’s finest casinos can be found in Macau. Indeed, the local economy is structured heavily around betting. However, online gambling is not established at all in Macau.
This is strange considering the grip gambling has on this part of the world. Instead, people in Macau do their gambling in real-life casinos. These are often extremely glamorous locations that are beautifully designed and a joy to visit. Macau is effectively Asia’s answer to Las Vegas, and some believe it is an even better location for a holiday.
The situation regarding gambling is different again in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Jockey Club controls much of the betting activity in the country. Of course, the political situation in Hong Kong is in the spotlight right now. China may well be about to step in to exert control over Hong Kong. This would affect all kinds of daily life in Hong Kong. The online gambling industry could be among those set for big changes in the years to come.
Poker is mainly an underground activity in Hong Kong right now with online poker not typically played. Due to the tight controls on gambling in Hong Kong, many people who live there will go to Macau to visit its casinos instead. The journey is short, and for many Hong Kong residents, it is a good way to spend a holiday.
