USA tops the chart for online payouts

Recent online gaming figures have revealed that internet casinos have never been doing better. A review of the past year has shown that countries throughout Europe and the world at large have been paying out massive jackpots to lucky winners. Topping the charts is the USA which is reported to have handed out an enormous $50 million in payouts this year. Other leading countries include Canada, France, Italy and the UK which have given out a sum of $100 million dollars between them. Some 9,000 winners were lucky enough to get their hands on a slice of this enormous pot suggesting that there has never been a better time for online gaming.

Statistics have revealed that other major players include Greece, Australia, Germany, the Russian Federation and South Africa which represents the key contributor on the continent. The figures have been met with interest by operators across the globe who are keen to tap into foreign markets as this rapidly expanding industry becomes more competitive than ever before.

In addition, the table shows the overwhelming dominance of USA payouts despite a difficult year involving a number of prohibitive UIGEA restrictions. Many will view 2025 as an opportunity to push ahead with campaigns for looser gambling regulations in a country which still continues to preside over one of the world's most lucrative industries. Meanwhile, Microgaming will be celebrating its top position in the tables after it was revealed that the company was responsible for 14 out of 20 most popular online casino titles. 5 other titles were the work of Playtech which continues to represent one of the leading brands around.
