Legal Sports Betting Blackberry App for Nevada

As of right now, Nevada is the (perhaps unlikely) home of legal Blackberry sports wagering - potentially innovative step forward in the campaign to bring safe online gambling to the US. Some say that change is in the air in the Silver State, the only one to allow sports betting, but nevertheless renowned for its entrenched anti-online casino laws.

Bet with Leroy's on Your Blackberry

Blackberry users within Nevada's state boundaries, whether residents or visitors, can now place wagers with the well-loved Nevada bookmakers - Leroy's Horse and Sports Place Book - thanks to a new app released by Leroy's mother-company, American Wagering Inc. With the college football and regular NFL season just around the corner, the launch couldn't have come at a better time.

How it works...

You'll need to show up in person just once at a Leroy's venue to register an account. The account is then linked to your specific blackberry device. Before you place a bet, simply log into network, then a combined GPS and cellular tower system will determine your location - if you're within the Nevada state boundaries, the sports field is all yours.

Roll-Out to More Mobile Devices Coming Soon

American Wagering hopes to release similar apps for iPhones, Androids and Windows in the near future - however, players may have to be patient, because each application requires individual legal approval. It took 14 months to develop and push the Blackberry version through the complex authorization process.

A True Revolution?

This development, while certainly positive, doesn't constitute a fundamental turnaround in Nevada's legal position on online casino gaming. The experts say true change will come only when the US as a whole brings its approach to internet gambling into the 21st century. Unfortunately for online casino fans in Nevada, we still don't know when they'll finally be able to enjoy the many mobile casino products clearly capable of providing a safe, fun and high-quality service.
