Over the last couple of decades, the number of ways to make money gambling online has increased massively. In 1996, Intertops launched the first online bookmakers and over the following two years more than 100 competitors set up shop. The industry started off in the earliest days of the internet with casino sites popping up in 1994 following the Free Trade & Processing Act passed in Antigua and Barbuda, where licenses were easy to acquire.
Online gambling has been around for almost 30 years now.
