Making a sports wager on a mobile device is now the most popular way to bet. A recent article on Mobile Entertainment claims that 75% of the $2.85 billion revenue generated by the total gambling market in 2011 came from sports betting via a mobile device.
This growth is set to continue with predictions for the mobile gaming market revenue to rise to almost $6.9 billion in three years (approximately 19.3% year on year). Keen bettors have quickly realised that placing a wager via a mobile device is quicker, easier and saves time.
There are different ways to access mobile betting sites, either through live streaming or via an app. Sports Betting Reviews has scrutinised the mobile betting market to offer reviews of sites that offer mobile betting. Here are their selection of the best mobile apps and websites:

The UK leads the way in smartphone growth and this British betting institution won’t be left behind.
