Gambling is no longer limited to physical spaces. Thanks to technology and the proliferation of the internet, gambling has made its way into the online world. Online gambling is a broad term that covers betting, as well as casino and lottery games played on computing and mobile devices. With the popularity of smart phones and digitization, several vendors have launched gaming apps for mobile devices in order to expand their consumer base. In spite of stringent gambling laws, which vary from state to state, the online gambling market has grown tremendously. According to analysts at Technavio, the online gambling market in the US, which stood at $540 million in 2015, is expected to grow at a CAGR of close to 52% by 2020.
