Growth is forecast to be many times that of any other interactive or land based gambling channel: Mobile gambling has long since promised to deliver significant growth to the interactive gambling market this has been widely acknowledged over the last couple of years. However, this growth is not subsiding as some anticipated, in fact, it is continuing.

This report explores not only how and why mobile is expected to be the dominant channel in the future, but also why it is unlikely to completely consume interactive. By the end of 2018 mobile is forecast to account for just under 44% of all interactive gambling.

Following the prior mobile gambling report the channel has seen significant growth and is now of primary importance in any operator's strategy. Barriers to entry are now limited and markets around the world are capable in terms of networking infrastructure, device penetration and availability.

As mobile gambling moves into this next phase of the life cycle how can operators understand the markets, products, regulation and other key influencing factors? How can one diversify to target new customers and retain existing clients? What are the penetration rates? What is the device availability, competition offering, market size and growth forecast for this essential, lucrative channel?

In this report H2 builds on the prior leading introductory report to mobile gambling and looks to steer the stakeholder in the right direction as they try to understand the true potential of mobile and how to prepare for the next phase of the highly competitive land grab. How this evolves over the coming months will shape the future of all interactive gambling and even define some of the leading land based operator potential.

This detailed analysis of the mobile gambling market looks to answer the key questions surrounding mobile gambling, give an accurate overview of the current market and supply data and forecasts of mobile gambling market potential.

The world has changed and people are using handheld mobile devices as part of their everyday life as a way to interact, socialise and entertain. Smartphones are already an essential accessory across all generations, even becoming popular amongst the older population range. Mobile is no longer a way to be at the cutting edge of an industry's technology, it's a requirement to stay neutral.
