PokerStars Buy Cecure Mobile Gaming Company

According to a recent article from mobilejackpots PokerStars have purchased  Cecure Company, who specialise in mobile gaming. The move by PokerStars to purchase Cecure certainly indicates that they are about to go mobile with poker. PokerStars recently completed a survey, which it had distributed to its players asking their opinions on playing poker on their mobiles.

Although PokerStars have not released anything official as yet we may be about to see mobile poker taking off as previously expected.

iPhones launch new generation of gambling cheats

The discovery of the iPhone card counting tool has led to an increase in online gambling. The iPhone has been banned from most land based casinos, but there is little that the online operators can do.

In the USA, iPhone usage as a card counting device has been branded a felony, but when the card counting device is used when playing online poker, there is nothing that can detect it.

Online casinos have reported an increase in the number of deposits. Some have reported that this is due to the iPhone application, but other reports have suggested that the recession has seen people who were used to spending money in land based casinos, turning to online ones instead as it cuts down on costs such as drinks and travel. You can also smoke at home on your computer where as punters have to keep stepping outside in land based casinos.
