Google has announced that starting March 1, gambling apps will be available for Android users in 15 new countries.
This expands the geographical reach of Google Play Store gambling apps beyond Brazil, France, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, countries where in-app gambling is already available through the Google Play Store.
Quentin Martin, Real Luck Group Ltd. CEO, said: "Google's addition of 15 nations (for a total of 19) that can now download gambling apps is a significant boost for the iGaming sector.
This is a positive catalyst for the mobile betting sector, as it facilitates further player uptake in a responsible manner and signals the widening global acceptance of gaming."
According to the European Gaming & Betting Association, mobile betting is expected to reach 50.8% of online gambling revenue by 2022, surpassing the use of desktops for the first time.
Real Luck Group is the parent company of Luckbox.com, a global esports-wagering website. Luckbox is a user-customizable, mobile-friendly platform offering wagering on esports and traditional sports. 50% of their traffic is generated by mobile users.
The addition of a mobile app will allow Real Luck to introduce user enhancements such as real-time notifications, deeper integration with devices and additional security features.
Real Luck Group (LUCK) opened up 7.8%, trading at C$0.97.
