UK betting company Betfair seems to be the first company to release an actual betting application on Apple’s App Store, though only available in Ireland and the UK.
Consumers who downloaded the app can bet on major sports and other events that address the general public (i.e. elections). To avoid breaking foreign gambling laws, the GPS info is used to endure the client is in the UK or Ireland. There is however, no way yet to make sure the client is not underage (but that is a problem on any virtual betting platform).
