From the '90s to today…
Online gambling websites first appeared on the internet in the mid 1990s.
In 1994, the government of the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda passed the Free Trade & Processing act which legislated to allow licenses to be granted to companies that applied to open online casinos.
That same year, the first online gambling software provider was founded - Microgaming. To this day, Microgaming still runs popular software that many online gambling sites use to power their casinos and poker rooms.
