The market for erotic content for mobile devices is predicted to be worth $2.3bn by 2010, but realisation of this is highly dependent on mobile phone carriers and content providers working with regulators in order to determine solid controls and age verification procedures. Much of this depends on networks who seem to have an ambivalent attitude towards online adult entertainment.

There’s potential for growth in games which use other phone features (such as camera/GPS).

Mobile gambling to grow from US$1.2bn of annual revenues in 2005 to US$7.6bn by 2010, by which time there will be more than 200 million consumers gambling using their mobiles. Europe will be the big market with lotteries, online poker and basic casino games attracting the highest number of users.
