Expansions in Mobile Technology
The mobile gaming and online casino gambling industries are developing at a very
fast pace and as the industries mature new technology is constantly in
development to keep up with the demands of consumers. Blackberry use is
especially prominent in the United States – mobile users are fairly addicted to
their portable offices and the phone has even been nicknamed the “Crackberry.” A
US based company has announced a new application for Blackberry users that will
give US mobile gamers a taste of the world-wide mobile gambling and betting
industries while adhering to the US’s ban on offshore online casinos.
The new application is compatible with Blackberrys and is a SportsLine. The
application brings the fun of sportsbetting to US gamblers without the illegal
aspect to the game. Because of the controversial UIGEA transactions between US
players and online casinos and betting sites are banned – this include
transactions through the internet or from their mobile phones. But the
alternative for Blackberry devices is the BBSportsLines free application.
The new application will give avid bettors and gamers instant access to wagering
odds and information on sporting events. The application will supply mobile
online users up to the minute information, but unfortunately the only form of
wagering is with free-money. Online casino gamblers looking to place true bets
will have to go through land facilities or seek out the handful of gambling and
betting sites still accepting US players.
Cognitive Powers is based out of North Carolina that is a bit of a rogue in the
US market – the marketing company specializes in online casino gambling and
wagering. The Blackberry application is in line the company’s efforts to expand
into the potentially huge mobile gaming industry. |
