For most online gaming operators, wagering on mobile devices now represents anywhere from 20% to 50% of their revenue. As a generation of players who grew up using mobile devices comes of age, that number is only going to increase. A prime example of the growth of mobile wagering is William Hill’s results from the first half of 2015. While overall gaming revenues grew 4%, mobile net revenues increased a whopping 42%. Mobile gaming cuts across every gaming vertical: Poker rooms offer mobile apps; casino and bingo games are available in mobile versions; sportsbooks also take wagers via mobile apps, with Ladbrokes seeing a 65% increase in bets made via mobile platforms in the first half of 2015.
