When considering the history of online gambling, one has to
look as far back in time as the internet itself.
Back in 1994, a law was passed that allowed Antigua to issue
gaming licenses. To this day, when researching the many online
gambling properties, you can easily see that a high percentage of
them are licensed in Antigua.
Over the next few years, a number of companies were formed and a
few of them are still powerhouses of the Industry today. Companies
such as Microgaming, Crypto Logic, Starnet, Boss Media and more.
By the late 90's, Online Gambling had become huge. In fact by
1998, the annual revenue was estimated to be over 835 million
dollars from online casinos. The years following the late 90's saw
even more growth and more countries creating licensing
jurisdictions.
During this high growth periods that games became more realistic
and more exciting. Over time the games offered by the larger
software vendors had developed very loyal followings.
