Growth is forecast to be many times that of any other interactive or land based gambling channel: Mobile gambling has long since promised to deliver significant growth to the interactive gambling market this has been widely acknowledged over the last couple of years. However, this growth is not subsiding as some anticipated, in fact, it is continuing.

This report explores not only how and why mobile is expected to be the dominant channel in the future, but also why it is unlikely to completely consume interactive. By the end of 2018 mobile is forecast to account for just under 44% of all interactive gambling.
