This is double the amount that was spent at the movies and triple the amount that football stadiums had in profit. This is a shocking study that no one thought to be true until proven by Milan Polytechnic.
The study also goes on to show that the demographics for online gambling in Italy is male players from the southern and central regions of the country. Male’s between the ages of 25 and 45 are the ones choosing to gamble online.

Italy only expects the amount of revenue from online gambling to increase over the years as the games become more fluent and enjoyable for all.
