| Mobile Gambling Wagers to Surpass $48bn by 2015! |
August 2010
| |
A report published by Juniper Research has found that a combination of mobile online casinos, poker, lotteries and betting sites service launches in major emerging markets led by China allied to liberalisation of remote gambling legislation across the North America and Europe will see the scale of annual wagers on mobile gambling exceed $48bn by 2015!
The report studies gambling services on a country-by-country basis. It finds that, in recent years, the Japan Racing Association's iPAT service had been responsible for the bulk of global mobile gambling transactions, with onlinw casino and betting sites services in the UK accounting for much of the remainder. However, the sharp surge in adoption of the mobile lotteries services launched by VODone will help propel China into third place in terms of mobile transactions.
Meanwhile, the North American market is also poised to see the introduction of its first mobile lottery services. According to report author Dr Windsor Holden : State lottery providers are anxious to explore new distribution channels, with US lotteries sales from traditional outlets in decline. The upshot is that several lotteries are in the latter stages of discussion with mobile technology providers with a view to launching mobile lotteries services in 2011.
In addition, the report observes that impending legislative changes in the US may herald an opportunity for mobile casino operators.
