The original 2013 report

Original reporting follows. Offers, event dates, product details and opinions are historical. Old outbound links are shown as text.

Betsson, a Nordic online sportsbook and online casino site, will launch an iOS real-money casino app in a bid to increase its mobile gaming revenue. While boosting the gambling company’s revenue, it will give blackjack players an opportunity to play their favorite casino games and bet on their favorite sports on the move.

Betsson’s mobile casino app, which can be downloaded on iPad and iPhones, is not meant for free play, but for real money. It may be recalled that Apple recently changed its policy and now permits real money gaming apps.

As previously mentioned, the app offers not only real money casino gaming, but also real money sports betting. It promises players a superior gaming experience.

Magnus Silfverberg, chief executive officer of Betsson, said that the new app allows Betsson’s operating subsidiary to regain the top position in the mobile gaming sector. He further said that the company has observed that mobile gambling is becoming more popular than ever and is confident that customers will prefer to download Native apps in the future.

Betsson also hopes to expand in the European market after getting the required licenses in each EU country. The company’s latest move has definitely put it far ahead of its rivals.

 

Read a little deeper

Separate the interface from the game

An app launch tells a story about the devices, controls and platforms of its time. Read for the distinction between practice, social play and real-money play, then look for the rules of the actual game. Old download instructions, prices, device requirements and store references are retained as historical reporting, not installation advice.

Platform
Note the device, operating system and version in the announcement.
Mode
Distinguish practice or social play from real-money gambling.
Rules
A familiar blackjack name does not specify every payout or rule.
Does an old app announcement establish that it still works?

No. A launch report records what was announced then. It does not establish present-day availability, support, compatibility or game rules. Use the linked guides for the underlying blackjack concepts.
