Out of curiousity, which company launched the first online casino and when was this? It seems that they all popped up simultaneously

1995 - First Internet casino opens. Blackjack, roulette, craps and other casino games can be played for fun, but not real money.

1996 - First Internet casino that can be played for real money, InterCasino, opens. Thousands more such virtual casinos will open in coming years.

That is a really cool link. Its funny because it seems that these online casinos (at least to me) did not start getting popular until 2002 or so. I guess I must have missed the "rise"

1995!!! Wow, I missed it too. I only started getting into it recently and am loving it.
