Use of Mobile Gaming Apps

Mobile gaming is one of the fastest growing markets in the world as the widespread availability of smartphone devices and a changing of the audience as those with a disposable income have become the primary players for many mobile gaming apps.

Within the UK, an initiative called Gamstop was launched in 2018 in a bid to reduce the number of growing gamblers within the country – there are an array of betting sites not on the scheme however, and many offer compelling reasons to use apps registered by operators outside of the UK away from the Gamstop initiative.

• Big Bonuses – One of the many benefits of using these operators is that many offer a bigger sign up bonus than you may find elsewhere – this could be higher capacity of the deposit that they may match but also offering free spins or free bets for a period of time. Whilst these may also be offered through UK services, they may be limited compared to what may be offered elsewhere – do be careful with unlicensed casinos, however, as these may often offer a deal that seems too good to be true – a rule of thumb, if it does appear to be that when, then it probably is.

• Alternative Deposit And Registration Methods – One of the big benefits to using non UK registered operators is that the consumer friendly laws in locations such as Malta where many operators choose to register provide an opportunity for different forms of registration and payment – these services allow you register anonymously without the need for identification, as well as alternative payment methods such as eWallets which allow users to stay anonymous whilst using these services.

• Control Your Access – One of the drawbacks to how Gamstop has been handled is that it was made mandatory for operators to register – prior to this it had been a voluntary scheme, but as of April this year it was made mandatory for operators to register or risk losing their gaming license, for those who may not agree with this approach, this allows you to have complete control over the way you access these services.

The spread of the coronavirus has caused a surge in use for mobile gaming apps particularly those within gambling and betting – as sporting events begin to get underway again there may be a big push to encourage new users to sign up and start using the services with big sign up bonuses and freebies, if you’re new to using these services or haven’t yet got started now may be the perfect time to get involved and to try them out.

Of course it is important to stay safe whilst doing so – Gamstop was introduced as a measure to help those who feel they would be untethered without it and as such it is always important to mention when using these services to gamble responsibly and safely, and if you ever feel you’re getting too out of your depth to find methods to cut access or reduce exposure – more than 130,000 have already registered with the initiative and found success in the way that it works.
