Comments on: Why You Should Start-Up In Online Gambling http://www.cashcade.co.uk/2009/03/03/why-you-should-start-up-in-online-gambling UK Online Gambling Voice Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:48:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: OG http://www.cashcade.co.uk/2009/03/03/why-you-should-start-up-in-online-gambling/comment-page-1#comment-56 OG Thu, 09 Apr 2009 19:01:18 +0000 http://perfectstorm.cashcade.co.uk/?p=316#comment-56 I think the new social platforms are a great way to promote online gambling businesses. Twitter is possibly the best new platform for content delivery and allows operators to reach targeted opt-in lists of users. I also believe the iPhone represents a huge new market for casino operators. At some point in time application development will open up to allow online gambling I am sure, I believe bodog and others are starting to make optimised iPhone web pages for clients in the mean time ? In regards to the comment that silicon valley overshadows the UK, in the gambling industry I find it quite the opposite. There are more focused gaming personnel in the UK in my experience, this may be due in part to the legalities of USA internet gambling.

On the payments front alternative micro payment style solutions such as: Paysafe Card, Click and Buy, Paypal, Ucash and the like have good growth prospects the challenge often is getting the integration in place. The reason being if you have a site which takes cards like Visa then these options are a nice to have addition. I think a good area to explore though incredibly hard to crack is the Social Marketing side of things. Working out if its an app, a fan page or some kind of PR angle such as the recent Burger King on Face Book idea. Another area possibly worth a look is Behavioral Targeting and how it can be applied to gaming companies marketing schedules. All I read about on this topic is how great the technology is for helping marry your message to your customer but I have yet to see it work in practice! Tyche -

I am a strategic consultant and one of my areas in online gaming. I am already seeing that it is the fastest growing sector in my own portfolio. I am curious to learn what kind of technologies would companies like yours need? There are entrepreneurs all around the world looking for ideas to implement. I know companies can provide basic services such as payment gateway integration with a gaming platform. I am looking for something a little more innovative and challenging. It would be great to hear your ideas about the same. Regards Tyche Dear Simon,
