That’s a brand new site that I’ve created with a dynamic WordPress theme: Top Mobile Casinos For Your Mobile Smartphone, iPad, iPhone & more. and is still work in progress.
Maybe the best way for Dominique would be to create a subdomain ie http://mobile.yoursite.com and then use a WordPress mobile or dynamic theme.
I’m also no expert on all of this as I have just started into the mobile market.
Edit: That’s supposed to be a Responsive WP theme and NOT ‘Dynamic’ Wp theme.
The best way is to build a responsive website. This way you don’t have to maintain seperate versions and sub-domains. A big plus of this technique is that it’s based on media-queries which auto-detects the screensize of the visiting device and shows only the parts suitable for that device. So no need for complicated device scripts.
I build them with Dreamweaver, but there are many responsive templates for WP as well. I know Flytonic has one called the Overlay Theme.
Happy building!

Well, I have a site with some 6000 pages that is losing conversions because it is HTML. Transferring all that content is not an option.
Starting a new site would mean trying to rank all over again, so since I have an old, well ranking site I need to take advantage of the domain.
Possibly I can add a responsive section and some sort of mobile detection script to redirect?
I use an android s3 and also have an iphone and an ipad. I think those are the main devices used for online gambling. iphone/ipad androids OS on reasobable screensize)
I hate… really hate when i go to a site and they automatically load a mobile version of their site and i have no way of seeing the regular site. I search on google for a phrase find a google link with what i need, click and redirects to mobile mini site with nothing i am interested in.
Also, using the iphone or S3 i find it very easy to browse sites just link on laptop. I just have to zoom in a bit but not much. Nothing hard about it and the phones do a good job at resizing everyhthing to fit on the screen.
So, if you do anything…. do not auto redirect!

By adding a responsive section you will have to maintain in fact 2 sites.
I don’t know how your site is setup, but in lots of cases it’s possible to transfer a static site into a responsive one by editing the css file. Instead of fixed widths for, set elements to a percentage and a max-width.
If you for instance have one or two sidebars and a main content section specified in divs, you can decide to show the sidebars only on widescreens and the main content only for mobile devices, by setting up some media queries in the css file.
Just my 2cents though.

I’m in a similar boat.
I just added a redirecting script to my .htaccess which redirects any mobile or tablet traffic hits and redirects them to HTML5 pages set up on a sub domain of my main site url. This recognizes iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, generic tablets and of course Android.
Obviously works cause I’m getting players

Sounds like a good idea. Can you pm me or post the site URL? Would love to check it out on my mobile

Ouch, that’s way way too many pages to take care of manually, indeed.
As a temporary solution I’d personally suggest building a redirect to a mobile page/sub-set of mobile pages with mobile offers (not ideal, I know, but at least you have something to offer to your mobile traffic NOW). And in the meanwhile I’d develop different style-sheets for web-based and mobile-based visitors that you could eventually feed your entire site with.
Check back once you’ve found a solution for this problem. With Slotland Mobile Casino currently being AFAIK a sole US friendly mobile casino, I’m sure we can safely extend our cooperation in that direction
Either way, wishing you luck with your advantageous task!
I agree with casinotime on this point:

Why would you want to be stuck on a mobile site when using a tablet for instance?
Of course it’s all about about getting traffic and generate conversions though. As it currently stands, I get a fair amount of mobile users (not tons for sure), but that doesn’t mean they all become players. I’m not into these mobile templates, that simply show a few games. Correct me, if I’m wrong… If they happen to convert players well, then I need to rethink…
The main site meinonlinecasino.com is not set up in a ‘responsive’ way either. Not sure, if this is a good solution, but in addition to the desktop version I am thinking of setting up an alternate mobile version for the visitor to choose from. Without trying to fit in all content from the desktop site, I would just feature mobile related topics such as reviews, bonuses etc. For any other information people will have to relate to the desktop version. Too much of a headache?
One or another way, I haven’t really had much of a moment yet to look into this further.
What do you think?

Which website are you talking about, your main one? If so, I’ll check and see.
I’ve been doing mobile websites but usually people have way less than 6000 pages.. more like 10 lol.

Usually people only redirect devices that are smaller than a tablet (cell phones). Normal websites usually look fine on tablets but they’re really bad on phones.
