Bet24 expands mobile poker

Following the Nordic-focused Bet24.com mobile launch through the Ongame Network late last year (see previous InfoPowa report), the company has announced further expansion of its mobile poker offering into fourteen new countries.

As the first Ongame network operator to offer a real-money mobile poker application in France, Austria and the United Kingdom in December 2011, the poker app is now available for download in Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and Switzerland said a company spokesperson.

Lars Kollind, poker manager at Bet24.com said: “Mobile has been a true success story for us with thousands of downloads since launch. I have studied the development carefully and am proud to say that mobile poker generates growth without cannibalizing current poker revenues from PC and Mac.”

According to Kollind, 55 percent of the EU population now has access to at least one iOS real-money poker client due to Bet24.com’s mobile expansion.
