I would like to know if there is a reliable site that maps the online
gambling industry (number of sites, history of internet gambling,
nunmber of hits, revenues, ect). I am especially intrested in
Israeli/Hebrew sites.
Thank you,
Moshe.

Dear Moshe,

The truth is, there are really only about a dozen or so companies that
operate in the online gambling community. (Some are operated or
managed
by Israelis.) Most online gambling operators are located in countries
like South Africa, Costa Rica and on Indian reservations in Canada. 


There appear to be many more sites because of affiliates who market
the sites.
There are thousands of people who advertise and market sites on behalf
of
the major players. They earn commissions on the funds earned by the
online
casinos.

I can point you to the largest companies in this industry and their
affiliate
managers. They may be willing to give you information and statistics.
But I suspect that information is highly guarded.
