M2 - Wed Mar 05, 11:55AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zh9h6m/mobile_gambling) has announced the addition of the "Mobile Gambling: A Comprehensive Strategy & Market Review" report to their offering. 2012 is likely to be recognised as the year mobile gambling finally came of age. For many years, the platform was heralded as the next big thing' - the future of gambling. Yet, results have fallen way short of the ambitious projections of a few years ago.

Yet in 2010, Gartner analysts showed the 2009 revenue levels at $4.7 billion.

According to a February 2010 comScore MobiLens study smartphone subscribers are much more likely to play mobile casino games than subscribers of generic phones. The study revealed that 7.6% of smartphone subscribers but only 1.2% of generic mobile subscribers played mobile casino games within a three month time frame. This report addresses the entire mobile marketplace, from the technological considerations to the market potential and will include case studies on the key suppliers and operators who are making their mark with this platform. Mobile Gambling: A Comprehensive Strategy & Market Review takes a comprehensive review of the mobile space as it is today, and will have appeal to a wide range of operators and suppliers in the industry who are considering mobile, but in light of the disappointments of the past, need current information to make informed decisions about how best to proceed with their resources.

Social Marketing & Strategies - Effective Implementation & Measurement: 2013 Edition
M2 - Tue Mar 04, 10:36AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pbcgjb/social_marketing) has announced the addition of the "Social Marketing & Strategies: Effective Implementation & Measurement" report to their offering. Most companies start with a groundswell of activity - primarily on Facebook and Twitter. Quite often the initial rush then turns sour for any number of reasons including numbers of fans/followers, a lack of uplift to the core site or a focus on ROI instead of understanding the new measurement mindset that is required for social media efforts. At this point, quite often, social media is relegated to the it doesn't work pile. However it is not that social media doesn't work and add value, it is that many efforts made by companies to date quite simply haven't been good enough. There are 7 billion people in the world, of which 2 billion are internet users, and more than 1 billion of those use social networks, 1 in every 5 minutes spent online is now on social media sites, and comScore has outlined that 1 in every 2 minutes spent on mobile internet in the UK is on Facebook alone. Being competitive in today's global economy hinges on the ability to interact with consumers online. Social media didn't invent the ability for customers to share their opinions, but it did amplify it. The networks have democratised information and empowered consumers. As a result, user networks are changing how customers refer products and services, and ultimately make decisions. The relationship between customers and business is changing and will continue to evolve as social media permeates our culture and society. How you take advantage of these changes will define your iGaming Business in the future.

UK Online Gambling Intelligence Report
M2 - Mon May 20, 9:09AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wbpj75/uk_online) has announced the addition of the "UK Online Gambling Intelligence Report" report to their offering. Since 2007, online gambling advertising has increased by 1,386%. This is indicative of the continuing competitiveness within the gambling sector. Sports betting dominates online gambling, accounting for 45% of all search impression volume. During 2012, the search impression volume from mobile devices grew 75%, with the sports betting sub-vertical having the largest share. In terms of both revenue and search impression volume, horse racing betting is the largest segment within sportsbook and is led by William Hill. Casino and poker is led by 888. This has been achieved with the implementation of an aggressive strategy across both organic and paid search. However, they face strong competition from cross-vertical brands like Ladbrokes, as well as pure play specialists such as PokersStars. Intercasino has seen a dramatic downturn in their organic performance and there is evidence to suggest that this may be partly due to the historical impact of a Google algorithm update. Gala and Mecca are the only traditional land-based bingo operators within the top 10 of our aggregated click share index. Gala's position is attributed to the fact that they have solid organic coverage, while Mecca leverage PPC to maximise their exposure. 888 has always invested heavily in traditional organic and paid search. However, a recent agreement with Facebook to offer real money gambling is an aggressive move by 888 as they look to capitalise on the growth of social media. Paddy Power have developed a seamless integration between their TV advertising and social media platforms by deploying a content strategy that communicates with great effect a maverick brand proposition that is entertaining, fun and humourous. What will you get from this report? - A who's who in online gambling. - In-depth market analysis covering January 2012 to December 2012. - Over 100 individual pieces of key insights. - Over 100 individual pieces of statistical interpretation. - Analysis of the top 100 brands across the top 50 keywords. - An interpretation of the top brands search and social media strategies.

In 2005, Jupiter Research forecasted that global mobile gambling services would generate revenues of more than $19.3 billion by 2009. Yet in 2010, Gartner analysts showed the 2009 revenue levels at $4.7 billion. In the past few years, Juniper Research has found that growth has been in-line with expectations, notwithstanding the economic downturn. According to a February 2010 comScore MobiLens study smartphone subscribers are much more likely to play mobile casino games than subscribers of generic phones. The study revealed that 7.6% of smartphone subscribers but only 1.2% of generic mobile subscribers played mobile casino games within a three month time frame. This report addresses the entire mobile marketplace, from the technological considerations to the market potential and will include case studies on the key suppliers and operators who are making their mark with this platform. Mobile Gambling: A Comprehensive Strategy & Market Review takes a comprehensive review of the mobile space as it is today, and will have appeal to a wide range of operators and suppliers in the industry who are considering mobile, but in light of the disappointments of the past, need current information to make informed decisions about how best to proceed with their resources.

Social Marketing & Strategies - Effective Implementation & Measurement: 2013 Edition
M2 - Tue Mar 04, 10:36AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pbcgjb/social_marketing) has announced the addition of the "Social Marketing & Strategies: Effective Implementation & Measurement" report to their offering. Most companies start with a groundswell of activity - primarily on Facebook and Twitter. Quite often the initial rush then turns sour for any number of reasons including numbers of fans/followers, a lack of uplift to the core site or a focus on ROI instead of understanding the new measurement mindset that is required for social media efforts. At this point, quite often, social media is relegated to the it doesn't work pile. However it is not that social media doesn't work and add value, it is that many efforts made by companies to date quite simply haven't been good enough. There are 7 billion people in the world, of which 2 billion are internet users, and more than 1 billion of those use social networks, 1 in every 5 minutes spent online is now on social media sites, and comScore has outlined that 1 in every 2 minutes spent on mobile internet in the UK is on Facebook alone. Being competitive in today's global economy hinges on the ability to interact with consumers online. Social media didn't invent the ability for customers to share their opinions, but it did amplify it. The networks have democratised information and empowered consumers. As a result, user networks are changing how customers refer products and services, and ultimately make decisions. The relationship between customers and business is changing and will continue to evolve as social media permeates our culture and society. How you take advantage of these changes will define your iGaming Business in the future.

UK Online Gambling Intelligence Report
M2 - Mon May 20, 9:09AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wbpj75/uk_online) has announced the addition of the "UK Online Gambling Intelligence Report" report to their offering. Since 2007, online gambling advertising has increased by 1,386%. This is indicative of the continuing competitiveness within the gambling sector. Sports betting dominates online gambling, accounting for 45% of all search impression volume. During 2012, the search impression volume from mobile devices grew 75%, with the sports betting sub-vertical having the largest share. In terms of both revenue and search impression volume, horse racing betting is the largest segment within sportsbook and is led by William Hill. Casino and poker is led by 888. This has been achieved with the implementation of an aggressive strategy across both organic and paid search. However, they face strong competition from cross-vertical brands like Ladbrokes, as well as pure play specialists such as PokersStars. Intercasino has seen a dramatic downturn in their organic performance and there is evidence to suggest that this may be partly due to the historical impact of a Google algorithm update. Gala and Mecca are the only traditional land-based bingo operators within the top 10 of our aggregated click share index. Gala's position is attributed to the fact that they have solid organic coverage, while Mecca leverage PPC to maximise their exposure. 888 has always invested heavily in traditional organic and paid search. However, a recent agreement with Facebook to offer real money gambling is an aggressive move by 888 as they look to capitalise on the growth of social media. Paddy Power have developed a seamless integration between their TV advertising and social media platforms by deploying a content strategy that communicates with great effect a maverick brand proposition that is entertaining, fun and humourous. What will you get from this report? - A who's who in online gambling. - In-depth market analysis covering January 2012 to December 2012. - Over 100 individual pieces of key insights. - Over 100 individual pieces of statistical interpretation. - Analysis of the top 100 brands across the top 50 keywords. - An interpretation of the top brands search and social media strategies.
