Mobile Gambling: Silver Surfers
In recent years the internet has been opened out more to younger people but, significantly, it is the older generation that providers of all types are aiming at today, not least because the so-called ‘silver surfers’ (unlike school children) tend to have much more at their disposal in terms of the time they are able to spend online and the money with which to acquire this or that service.
In fact nearly four out of five older people (aged 55+) who use the internet believe being online has improved their lives, and 42% cannot imagine being without the web.
Mobile gambling and betting in particular is no longer the exclusive domain of the twenty-something would-be online gambling whizz kid, as older people - far more comfortable with the mechanics of mobile technology than was the case when this medium first became available – are simply no longer intimidated by the options available to them.
Golf courses, for example, have long been populated by retired enthusiasts with a wealth of experience playing, watching and betting on the sport in the traditional way, but who now have the facility to wager online while on the move. Moreover, not having to turn up to work any more, silver surfer mobile betting fans also tend to appreciate the value of their phones as they’re out and about. Of course the ideal silver surfer’s scenario is finding a good value golf bet through gambling4mobiles while strolling up the fairway on a sunny afternoon...
As well as golf betting, horse racing is another favourite of older mobile gamblers but, with technological familiarity now at such a high level, there’s nothing to stop anyone enjoying online casino games and slots and so on. Meanwhile, skill-based mobile gambling such as poker also serves as an exciting way to maintain mental agility – something that we’re told by health experts is a necessary activity in the modern world.
