About Us
The definition of online gambling is that of a digital game that requires active network connection to play. This includes not only Internet gaming, but also those played online through consoles, mobile phones or via peer-to-peer.
The launch of Microsoft's Xbox Live encouraged providers to develop games for consoles online elements. The Xbox 360 not only allows players to play together, but can communicate by voice through headphones. The PlayStation 2 and the latest handheld consoles (the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP) can play multiplayer via WiFi and next generation consoles like Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii, offer full online gaming capabilities via the Internet.
A mobile game is a game for use in cell phones, smart phones or smartphones, PDA (personal digital assistant) or Pocket PC. Mobile games can be done using existing communication technologies in the device itself, such as text messages (SMS). However, the games that are downloaded to mobile phones through a network of mobile radio operator are more common and these are played using a set of technologies built into the gaming device itself. The peer-to-peer bandwidth dependent and computers instead of servers to allow multi-player game.
Games that do not require an active network connection to play, but only use the Internet to send scores, download game elements or exchange data, are excluded from this definition.
