There is a need for greater regulation in the growing online gambling industry, according to a new survey.

Consultancy firm XTN Data found that some 80 per cent of people believe that the government needs to tighten up its control of the industry.

Also 33 per cent of respondents saud they felt that gambling sites from overseas were less turstworthy than those in the their home nation.

Half of those questioned said that there were unsure of many of the games on offer and thought that people should be given better instructions by casinos.

Greig Harper, founder of XTN Data, said: “As online gambling becomes more mainstream gaming operators need to do everything they can to attract new users including teaching them basic strategies for games.”
