Mobile casinos in Jamaica
Jamaica boasts a mobile penetration rate of 110 percent, which is relatively low compared to other Caribbean nations but has risen dramatically in recent years. Given the popularity of gambling among Jamaicans, the industry shows a lot of potential for growth.
The main mobile providers for Jamaica’s 2.7 million people are Digicel, LIME and Clime, in that order.
However, like online gambling, most forms of mobile gambling are prohibited for Jamaican citizens. However, it was reported in 2011 that Supreme Ventures reached an agreement to provide mobile lottery games to Jamaican mobile phone users. In addition, many Jamaicans access unlicensed and foreign-operated sites via mobile devices.
The Betting, Gaming and Licensing Commission has indicated that it sees a need to regulate mobile as well as online gambling in the future.
