Europe Bets On Mobile Gambling
from the making-life-easier-for-gambling-addicts dept
Just as the US is trying to ban all kinds of online gambling, it looks like Europeans are starting to pick up mobile gambling. For those of you who thought having to wait until you got home to your computer was too long to wait to wager some of your hard earned cash - now you'll be able to gamble from everywhere using just your mobile phone. Some of the games are more like lotteries, but some are straight wagering opportunities - that even let you make new bets in real time, so people can even place bets on sporting events from the stands as they happen. As you might imagine, those concerned with the compulsive nature of gambling aren't particularly thrilled about this sort of thing.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
