Nevada has become the first state in the US to approve online gambling and while this is not expected to open online gambling in the US just yet, plenty of people are watching the moves.
Chatter among watchers of the online gaming and offline gaming spaces is that there are governments keen in the US to leverage online gaming as a revenue opportunity. Border challenges are stopping this at the moment.
Once the online gaming business is up and running in the US expect it here – lottery tickets and instant scratch games on your mobile devices. This is the opportunity and challenge with online, borders matter less.
i noticed in the tatts group 1/2 year report last week their online sales jumped a further 56% in last six months anyway…..and they talked there of having their mobile device technology available this year expecting it to “significantly” grow the online division further..this should cause considerable further pain to our lotto sales and even moreso to our tatts goodwill component…quite worrying indedd
They did not appoint a man who was the boss of a very successful online company – Wotif without a good reason to run Tatts.
