Mobile gambling
Mobile gambling refers to
gambling done on a remote wirelessly connected device.
These devices can include wireless tablet PC's, mobile
phones and other non traditional mid-level networked
comuting devices. Some
online casinos and
online poker cardrooms offer mobile options.
Mobile gambling requires a data connection to operate and in most cases this data layer is provided by the telecom provider for the region or country. GPRS, GSM Data, UMTS, I-MODE are all data layer technologies upon which mobile gambling depends.
While still relatively underdeveloped, analysts place the value of the market space at US$20 billion by 2010. Jupiter, Gartner and Seymour Pierce all project rapid growth in the sector through to 2010.
