It seems that online gambling games are now up to such a high standard that employees are flocking to these sites during their working day.

A new survey carried out in England claims that online gambling while at work is costing firms more than £300m every year in lost productivity.

On the flip side the results of the survey clearly illustrate the massive strides made by online gambling sites in recent years and the industry continues to grow, diversify and improve at record pace.
The research reveals that almost one in three of those questioned said they had used an online casino, bought a lottery ticket or made a bet while on office time or at least were aware of someone who had.
The rise in popularity of online casinos and other internet gambling outlets, matched with unmonitored Internet access provided at the majority of workplaces, is blamed for tempting employees who may not be the most eager.
In all 664 office workers were questioned across England. The results showed that 38 percent of men admitted to online gambling at work, compared with 21 percent of women.  The regional spread revealed that 35 percent of those in Northern England were making bets on company time, compared with 29 percent in the South and 27 percent, the least, in the Midlands.
More, the consultancy firm who carried out the survey said their findings indicated that those who gambled on the internet at work were likely to spend 13 hours a year doing so.
Bets were most often placed on the National Lottery, followed by football matches, horse races and then online poker games.
