Asia-Pacific Mobile Gambling Market As Revenues Soar

Total mobile gambling revenues (involving casinos, lotteries and betting) in the Asia-Pacific region are set to rise from US$966 million in 2006 to US$8.8 billion come 2011, according to the latest industry report by Juniper Research.

According to Juniper, during this period Asia Pacific will be the largest geographic market, followed by Europe, with North America, South America a considerable way behind.

Asia Pacific and Europe will contribute similar revenues in the next five years -- accommodating a different business mix; and like Asia Pacific, Europe will see a substantial rise in total revenues (value of bets placed) from $950m in 2006 to $7.9bn by 2011. In comparison, North America -- where legislation permits -- will rise from zero revenue in 2006 to over $3.3bn by 2011. South America will grow from $34m to $1.33bn.
