History of Mobile GamblingEver since Nokia first released their handsets featuring the classic 'Snake' game, playing games on mobile phones has become the norm. However, as handset and network technology has grown, the games have become more and more ambitious. They have now evolved to the point where people can safely and securely wager money using them. With the introduction of 3G networks which allow for super fast data transfer across mobile phone networks, and the widespread availability of WiFi hotspots, it has become easier than ever to gamble using a mobile phone safely and securely. While early mobile gambling applications were sometimes hard to use thanks to the slow network speeds and relatively low tech handsets, today's fast networks and computer style Smartphones have made the pastime easier than ever. Most major online casinos now offer specially programmed mobile casinos to play alongside their computer based offerings. Mobile Gambling and the iPhoneOne of the handsets which offers the most comprehensive range of mobile gambling applications is Apple's iPhone. The popular smartphone is one of the most widely used on the market, however mobile casino operators have come across several issues when trying to launch games. The biggest issue with launching mobile casino applications on the iPhone is the strictness of Apple's 'App' store. Unlike many other common smartphone platforms, such as Android, Apple regulate all of the games that are released via it's strictly controlled 'App Store'. This means that many mobile casinos have to build specially programmed websites for iPhone users to play their games. Even building specially tailored iPhone casino websites is an issue, though, as Apple famously refuse to make their handheld device web browsers Flash compatible. One mobile gambling medium which is thriving on the iPhone is sports betting. Since online sportsbook Betfair surprised the market by releasing an iPhone application that allowed users to place bets using an App rather than a specially designed mobile website, most other major online bookmakers have followed suit. This explosion in sports betting applications has been identified as a major factor in the sports betting boom at this year's World Cup finals, where British gamblers alone wagered £1bn on the outcome of the matches. Future of Mobile GamblingThe future of mobile gambling looks bright, with ever increasing technology and customer bases pushing the medium forward. By 2014, user end revenue from mobile gambling is expected to hit $11.4bn. However, as gambling on mobile phones becomes more popular, there is the increased threat of further regulations, similar to how the online gambling industry was affected with the UIGEA legislation in America. |
