Do Mobile Casinos Live Up to Their Hype?

 

We can all agree that smartphones make life so much easier. Not only are they great for the obvious things – texting and calling, but they also offer anything you can possibly need under one roof. In fact, lots of Brits tend to use them to read online books, listen to podcasts or a few tunes whilst going about their day. On top of that, they are also using smartphones to enjoy an online casino experience on the go.

 

On that note, we are now going to take a closer look at what makes our smartphones the number one device to play some of the best online casino games.

 

The Rise of Mobile Gaming in Smaller Markets

 

iGaming is the new buzz word in town. Whether you enjoy casino games or if you are employed within the sector, you know that it is worth billions nowadays. Even within the smaller markets that are making a name for themselves within the business, such as Poland. Although it is not as big as iGaming markets such as the UK, it is definitely gaining more and more traction.

 

Simply put, this rise in popularity is also thanks to the ease of access that is provided by newer technology, such as for mobile casinos. Mobile gaming is convenient, it offers the same games, you can still win bonuses and prizes, and best of all, you can take your gaming experience wherever you are in the world. What is not to like?

 

Casino analysts from www.kasynopolskaonline.com report that, based on trend analysis of the website, an increasing number of Polish gamblers are, in fact, mobile casino users. In fact, it seems that both male and female Polish players are moving towards using their phones rather than desktop devices. Does this mean that mobiles replace desktop devices? Only time will tell, but the experts further state that they are expecting “great things to come out of this new era of online casino gambling”.

 

Gambling Legislation – What’s Legal and What’s Not?

 

Before we delve into more detail about the mobile market, we have to touch on some legal stuff. You must keep in mind that the online gambling sphere is still somewhat of a grey area in Poland. Although the market is growing, the rules imposed make it difficult for players to fully enjoy the experience.

 

As of now, online gambling hasn’t been legalized yet. Besides casino gambling, low-stake gambling machines, bingo and lotteries, the only form of ‘online’ gambling that is regulated is sports betting. The only online casino that is legalized in the country is Totalizator Sportowy – a state-owned company that provides some casino games.

 

Evidently, this problem has been affecting the country for quite some time now. If we look back at the year 2017, the Polish government decided to revise some gambling laws. Naturally, those working in the industry had hoped that the lawmakers would adopt a more adequate approach with regard to online gambling.

 

Nevertheless, the Polish government introduced a blocking mechanism that restricted Polish players from accessing unlicensed gaming providers. On top of that, casino providers were also subjected to a legal obligation to stop marketing their services to Polish players.

 

So, the question is, how is the Polish iGaming market still hitting great targets as far as revenues go? In reality, the situation isn’t that bad for players. In fact, Polish players can indeed create mobile casino accounts (and desktop ones) with offshore casinos as long as they are licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority, the Curaçao e-Gaming Licensing Authority or the Gibraltar Gaming Authority. It also goes without saying that you must be at least 18 years old.

 

Game Changing Factors of Mobile Casinos

 

Now that the legalities are out of the way, it’s time to take a closer look at what really makes mobile casinos so appealing to players.

 

5G Technology

 

We have heard all about 5G technology, and now it’s finally here. Nobody enjoys dealing with internet issues, especially if you’re playing mobile casino games on the go. Although you only need a phone and an internet connection to sign up to a mobile casino, that connection must be a strong one.

 

Thanks to the arrival of 5G technology, we can say goodbye to internet connectivity problems. As more and more users get access to 5G phones, we have no doubt that the popularity of mobile casino games will continue to rise higher and higher.

 

Game Variety

 

A couple of years ago, mobile casino players did not have the opportunity to play as many games as we have nowadays. When Microgaming launched the very first mobile software in 2004, the selection was limited, but nonetheless exciting. A new era of gaming had been established and nowadays, we are able to enjoy the full experience.

 

Developers such as NetEnt, Evolution Gaming, Microgaming, Playson and others have all come together and embraced mobile gaming. In fact, more and more games are being launched every year, leaving Polish players spoiled for choice.

 

Compatibility

 

Compatibility has also proven to be another factor that has swayed players into using mobile devices rather than desktops to play casino games. Back in the 2000s, most gaming companies created their games with Flash technology. We won’t beat around the bush here; Flash games aren’t that great.

 

Lucky for you, the era of mobile gaming introduced cutting-edge technologies that are based on HTML5. For those of you who aren’t familiar with all things tech, this means that more players can now access their favorite casino games across multiple devices.

 

You Can Take Your Experience Anywhere

 

And finally, we will end this post with the most obvious factor. Portability is key here; this means you can take your mobile experience at home, on your morning commute, when you are waiting in line, or even on an exotic beach!

 

Seeing as gaming developers continue to raise the bar, mobile users are guaranteed an experience that comes close to that an established land-based venue.
