Reading Time: 4 minutes

Covid-19 has driven American gamblers online and as LAS VEGAS is slowly awakening from its pandemic-induced slumber, we are just at the beginning to see how these gamblers are choosing online over land-based.

Photos from the casinos that welcomed visitors for the first time in nearly three months showed gaming tables surrounded by guests, some wearing masks.

Their thirst for a gamble is understandable. In quarantine, American high-rollers have struggled to find substitutes for the real thing. Whereas, say, British gamblers have been able to bet legally online under lockdown, Americans face a patchwork of state laws that give limited options for lawful remote betting.

An informative data report titled Virtual Sports Betting Market was published by The Research Insights and takes a closer look at the different aspects of the businesses, that are responsible for fuelling the growth of the companies.
