Scaraboo Offers 3G Flutter
July 7, 2003
Horse racing addicts may soon find it even easier to be relieved of their
cash thanks to a new UMTS platform for horse racing developed by German
software company Scaraboo in cooperation with Bremer Rennbahn. Scaraboo,
a portfolio company of Siemens Mobile Acceleration, says the technology
allows digital bet placement and the transmission of live results and
images to mobile phones and Pocket PCs.
The new system offers MMS or live streaming via UMTS and incorporates
a GPS location based service, which is of particular interest to the German
market, where betting is regulated by the regional state governments and
will enable them to prevent users placing bets from outside a particular
state.
Scaraboo estimates that the mobile betting services offered via its horse
racing platform will be worth €6 million a year. Many analysts believe
that the mobile gambling market, currently worth around US$50 million
annually, is ready to take off. Australian company SportOdds predicts
that by 2008 half of the $10 billion worth of bets placed by Australians
each year will be made via mobile devices. The company has recently secured
a betting licence in the UK and is aiming for revenues of £100 million
from mobile gaming within three years. In the US, however, interactive
betting remains illegal.
