    Mobile betting experiences

    Interested in hearing from those into mobile betting in a big way.

    Which sportsbooks offer the best mobile platforms?

    What makes for a positive experience?

    Happy to hear from iphone, android and blackberry users.

    I agree Bookmaker/DSI are the easiest to use by far

    What percent of wagers do you think come from a mobile platform? Is it important/ necessary for a book to add mobile wagering in today's market?

    Based on our numbers I assume companies with a decent mobile site gets 15-30% of their Internet action via mobile.
    IMO non of the of the mobile versions have got it right yet (including yw ).
    Too much clicking, menu's, and sub menus. I've tried them all at one point or another, they're functional but that's about it.

    I personally want to see a poker room. What are you hoping for outside of functional for sports? A casino?

    Poker is going to be real tough, since no app store will carry a client, the entire thing is likely gonna have to be html5. I haven't seen a good client yet. Also, other than HU the games will be too slow IMO for most people and no serious player would 1 table on an iphone. I'd like to see a HU bot casino game added to the online casino providers stable so you don't have to worry about finding action or being quit on/have to quit early.

    As for the sports mobile site, IDK, I guess when I see one I look I'll know. Right now there is way to much browsing sub menu's, nothing feels fluid. There are a lot of apps that are hindered by the same amount of data, but aren't so clumsy.
    A reason for this though (at least in our case) is that there are still many different phone platforms to support. Rather than taking advantage of the features of a certain phone, you need to make sure it basically works the same across all cell phones. That's a tough enough task in itself.

    I would play HU poker on my phone all day while watching games. Sounds like a piece of heaven to me.
