Are we ready for mobile gambling - to make money through mobile devices?
?That market is huge already in many parts of the world: According to
a study by International Data Corp., in Europe, there is already an
estimated 60 million wireless web users; in Asia, 100 million. The
U.S. is a little behind these figures but is expected to bring up the
rear very quickly. International Data Corp predicts that by the year
2004, there will be close to 1.3 billion web-enabled cellular phones
globally. And Motorola predicts that by that same year, more consumers
will be accessing the Internet from a wireless device, than a wired
one.?
?Combine those numbers with the runaway popularity of gambling, and
you?ve got an winner.?

The numbers
?According to Andrew Bennett, Vice President of gaming research at
Merrrill Lynch in London, right now, Americans make up 65 percent of
the online gaming market. But as the focus shifts from gambling over
PC?s to mobile devices, Bennett thinks that the Americans? share of
that market will drop to 45 percent by the year 2005, with Europe
taking over 35 percent of the market, and Asia at about 20 percent.?
According to Pontus Lindwall, the CEO of Netentertainment, mobile
gaming and gambling will be more readily embraced in North America and
Asia, versus Europe.
?His theory about this is that Europeans have a different behavioral
history with credit cards than North Americans do. For now, they feel
less secure using their cards over their mobile devices, because in
"Europe, you generally have to sign something before a transaction is
processed. North Americans are more used to paying with their credit
cards over the Internet," he says.?
?The games that customers will be able to play over their mobile
devices will include typical "casino style" games like blackjack,
poker and slots.?
