Mobile Gambling Growth In Ireland
Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

Mobile gambling is a huge trend nowadays. For the development of mobile gambling tere are two key aspects – improving technologies and scaling up Internet coverage worldwide, as it imports gambling services to remote parts of the world and opens up opportunities in new markets.
Over the past two decades, the mobile phone has evolved from a means of communication to a smart device that can replace dozens of other useful gadgets. Let’s talk about the current situation and future of the industry in Ireland.

Current Data: What Are The Numbers?

According to the data provided by the researchers, the mobile segment has grown significantly since 2003. It is estimated that this year the niche’s revenue will be €25.2 billion. In addition, it is noted that the share of mobile gambling in the industry at the moment is already 42.6%. This indicator has a persistent tendency to increase for more than five years in a row.

It is significant that the growth of mobile gambling is most noticeable in the niche of sports betting, and not in online casinos. Some operators working in the market report that most of their income comes from mobile gambling right now. Currently, the leading field with an indicator of 66% is sports betting. Online casinos are in second place – 27% of the market, the lottery industry makes only 7%.

According to the data presented above, it becomes clear that the main trend in the industry is the transition of users from bookmakers to online casino operators and the growing popularity of online slots. Whether this trend will continue in the next few months, especially after the abolition of quarantine measures, we will know later.

Mobile Device Statistics

Today, the main areas of mobile transactions take social networks (73%), followed by gambling (72%), and trade (61%). In 2019, gambling was the first with 70%. In 2018, this segment ranked second with 62%, the same position as in 2017, when 55% of transactions were made on mobile phones.

Future Trends: What Are They?

There are some of the main tendencies that currently can be observed in Ireland:

1. Bettors are gradually becoming users of online casinos.
2. In general, the online gambling industry is on the rise.
3. There was a decrease in online betting, despite the cancellation of sports competitions, but it was not as big as predicted.
4. The users use apps more often to log into top online casinos.

The Impact Of Coronavirus On Industry In Ireland

The growth is an expected consequence of the self-isolation that we all are experiencing due to the coronavirus pandemic. In the most vulnerable position were bookmakers due to the cancellation of sports competitions.
At the same time, bookmakers in other countries manage to invent alternative offers to maintain business and meet user demand. For example, Australian operators have decided to offer customers bets on the weather, the European market has changed its focus to virtual sports.

What Is The Future?

First of all, the influx of new users is expecting to become bigger. Especially in the mobile segment. Gambling operators see this and do everything possible to make their products as convenient as possible for using on mobile devices, they engage users and work on the design, adaptability, speed of games on all platforms, etc.

It is important that players do not have any problems at any stage of using services. Therefore, operators are engaged in improving loyalty systems and stop scammers.

The companies’ forecasts for the next few years are based on the assumption that the segment will develop progressively, without strong jerks and shocks. So, next year GGR will be up to €28.8 billion, and a year later – €33.1 billion. And by 2023, the segment’s revenue may reach €37 billion, by 2024, it will be €41.4 billion, which is 64% more than in the current year – €25.2 billion. The market share is being scaled and will exceed 50% of all gambling operations.

The Situation In Other Countries

Mobile gambling operations are especially popular in Europe, and most of the revenue is generated here. Following Europe, a high percentage of mobile revenue was recorded in Oceania and the African continent. There is a suggestion that this effect is achieved because, for residents of these regions, the mobile phone is the only way to connect to the Internet due to the poor quality of broadband.
The current regional map of the mobile segment share shows that the number of operations in Africa is 47.9%, in Asia-40.8%, in Europe-42.4%, in Latin America-21.1%, in North America-27.3%, and Oceania-49.2%.

Thus, we see not only the rapid development of mobile gambling but also its modification. Of course, world events, in particular the COVID, affect this in a big way. We will keep an eye on further updates.

The Benefits of Playing at EU Casinos

Published

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

There are many EU casinos that not only attract players from Europe itself but also from countries around the world, including the US, UK, and even those from countries where online gambling isn’t permitted. So why is it that EU casinos are so popular? What drives the online gambling community to these casinos?

Well, that’s what we’re going to be looking at today. What’s so attractive about EU casinos to people who are looking for an immersive and entertaining online casino experience? Why do people in the USA, the home of Las Vegas, go outside of the USA to play at online casinos?

Benefits of EU casinos

Online gambling is by far one of the most popular methods of gambling online. Throughout Europe, specific laws in each country can vary, so access to land-based casinos can sometimes be few and far between. Thus, going online to enjoy a casino experience has become a more preferable option. And so why EU casinos? Well, for those who are joining EU casinos from outside Europe and not from the UK or the US, the English-based support and customer service are very attractive. A lot of people who play at EU casinos access it using a VPN or from a country where they don’t have any domestic online casinos, and most of the time English is their first language or one that they can understand.

The next attractive factor regarding EU online casinos is safety and security. Each online casino in the EU is strictly regulated and licensed. It’s this reassurance that a lot of players look for when choosing an online casino to go to and play at. They are held to the same strict and high standards as those of their British counterparts in the UK, which are upheld and monitored by the UK Gambling Commission. In the EU, a lot of the casinos are also regulated by either the Malta Gaming Authority or the Curacao Gaming Licence Authority. All of which share the same standards and expectations as other authorities across theglobe,e which ensures that all players playing online at EU casino websites.

The casinos that are available online in the EU are also very open to a lot of different payment methods. There are even some crypto casinos where you can play casino games online with cryptocurrency. This openness to accepting a lot of different payment methods means a lot to people who like to play at online casinos. The vast majority of them also pride themselves on providing very quick withdrawals, which are measured in hours rather than days. After all, there is nothing more frustrating than having a big win and then having to wait days to get your hard-fought winnings.

And lastly, bonuses and promotions. The vast majority of EU online casinos will have a wide range of different bonuses and promotions that you can sign up for and take advantage of. There are certain countries, such as Sweden, where the online casinos are strictly limited to one bonus or one promotion; however, the vast majority of EU casinos are not subject to such restrictions and offer a great online casino experience.

When it comes to the popularity of EU online casinos, it is growing year on year. There is plenty going in their favour and more people than ever before are shifting to online casinos rather than having to go down to the casino themselves. The fact that they can access these EU casinos from their smartphones, wherever they are, means it’s easier than ever before to win big at a casino online and have a good time.

Leading bookmaker becomes official betting partner of first UK Classic meeting of 2024

William Hill has been announced as the new official betting partner of the Qipco Guineas Festival, the first UK Classic meeting of the season.

It’s the latest addition to William Hill’s spring racing roster, following sponsorship of The Lincoln Handicap at Doncaster, the Punchestown Champion Chase and its status as official betting partner of the Randox Grand National Festival.

The 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas headline the three-day meeting and the leading bookmaker will sponsor 15 races across the weekend with the Jockey Club Stakes, Palace House and Dahlia Stakes among the races now featuring the William Hill title.

Aidan O’Brien’s unbeaten superstar City of Troy is still all the rage for the 2,000 Guineas at 4/6 whereas Karl Burke’s Fallen Angel heads a competitive looking 1,000 Guineas market at 7/2.

“We’re delighted to become the official betting partner of the Qipco Guineas Festival, strengthening our relationship with The Jockey Club on the back of a fantastic Grand National Festival,” a spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said. “It’s brilliant for William Hill to be associated directly with such a prestigious event at Newmarket, the home of the thoroughbred, for this season’s first two Classics. The company has a close connection with the history of the 2,000 Guineas as William Hill himself bred the 1949 winner, Nimbus, who then went on to win the Derby.

“We’re excited to be involved at racing’s key meetings and see the Qipco Guineas Festival as the perfect sponsorship as the British flat season kicks into gear.”
