In 2012, the sector generated global receipts of 25 billion euro, according to the consulting firm H2 Gambling Capital; or an increase of 7.2 % compared with 2011. Online casinos generated 17% of this gross receipt, while online poker which is in continual decline presented only 13%.

But for the moment, Europe remains the major actor in the industry of online gambling. In 2012, the Old Continent represented 46% of the world growth, against 28% for Asia and 17% for North America.
