Jackpot247 responds to growth predictions of mobile betting and gaming for 2018

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Online gambling specialist Jackpot 247 has commented on the results of a new mobile report from H2 Gambling Capital.

A recent report from H2 Gambling Capital has predicted the rise of mobile betting and gaming over the next few years, with mobile betting, gaming and lottery set to generate €19 billion by the end of 2018. It is also expected to be responsible for around 44% of the total interactive gambling gross win by the same time – which translates to over 5% of all gambling gross win.

H2 Gambling Capital placed €4.5 billion value on the mobile gambling sector in 2012, accounting for over 18% of all interactive gross of that year, and the 2018 figures provide a stark contrast to that figure. Even the 2012 value was a major rise on 2010’s €2.4 billion. H2 said in their report: “The trend has been driven by the stellar growth in both smart phone and tablet penetration, increased device capability and the confidence of users in spend via these devices.”
