Online gambling services are now a well established sector of the global gambling market. The first online gambling offering was launched in 1995, and there are now several thousand such sites worldwide. Hence, as with other successful forms of online entertainment, there have been attempts to transfer this success into the mobile environment. However, it is perhaps fair to say that the hurdles (social, cultural, regulatory and technological) faced by mobile gambling are more significant that with any other form of mobile entertainment.

 

Thus far, 2008 has been an encouraging year for a number of mobile gambling service providers, with many seeing total wager increasing by more than 100% y-o-y. That said, the rollout of such services has been limited to a few key markets, most notably the UK: elsewhere, growth continues to be hampered by the complex national and state legislation which impacts all forms of remote gambling.
