Anticipation for mobile gambling grows by 2017 predictions

In a recent report, Gaming Club, a leading name in the gaming industry, has highlighted a significant boost in gambling activity due to the growing demand for mobile casino games, particularly from T-Mobile and Boost Mobile users. This surge in demand is propelling the mobile gambling sector, which is already a substantial part of the market, towards even greater heights.

According to the report, conducted by Juniper Research, the mobile gambling industry is expected to be worth an astounding $100 billion by 2017. This growth is primarily driven by the increasing popularity of mobile smartphone devices, which now offer gamblers the freedom to play their favourite games without being tethered to desktops or workstations.

The report further suggests that the percentage of UK residents owning smartphones has increased by 13% since October 2011, reaching 62%. This widespread adoption of smartphones ensures that a vast number of individuals can now enjoy gambling games, including crazy games, on their devices.

The growth in the mobile gambling sector is not just a fleeting trend. It is a sustained and significant expansion, with net profits of $45 billion in the region expected for top mobile gambling companies by 2017. The report indicates potential high earnings for these companies, although the specific top-ranked companies in the mobile gambling business expected to generate this net revenue are not explicitly detailed.

The boom in the mobile gambling industry is undoubtedly good news for both the gaming companies and the consumers. With the convenience of mobile gaming, the world of gambling is becoming more accessible than ever before, offering endless entertainment opportunities at the tips of our fingers.
