When we created our immensely popular and wildly informative infographic last year explaining just what a mobile payment is, we were gratified that so many people found it useful.

Now we're being asked about all of the companies that seem to be jumping into the mobile payment game. It's a good question. Almost every day a new player enters the market.

And why is that? Because so much is at stake. The expectation is that a large percentage of the $6.2 trillion in credit card transactions is going to migrate to mobile. (And that doesn't even include other transaction types that could be supplanted by mobile payments.)

So we thought we'd try to shed some light on the companies that are entering the market and how they're placing their bets. And what better way to do that than with another infographic. Our shiny, new infographic shows the game, the stakes, the players and their wagers.

We'll be honest: it's hard to keep all the players and their bets straight. So if you see a company we missed, or think we need to move our chips to another bet, let us know in the comments below.

Great infographic but good luck keeping it current! The players are changing so rapidly. I am also not sure you can make the chips large enough to cover all of them.

Great idea but sadly quite incomplete, especially when it comes to emerging countries where it all started... Here are some key products/players that are missing from the infographic:

Mobile Wallets: MobiPay in Namibia, Celpaid in the Ivory Coast, MPeso in Nicaragua...

Mobile Point of Sale: TagPay, Unisystems, MobiPrint

Contactless/NFC: NFC2.0 and Zoosh should definitely be included

Technology Providers: Tagattitude (providing the platform & tech for 30+ mobile money services worldwide)

I look forward to seeing this infographic evolve.

This makes a good motivation in learning poker online. The big bets sometimes happen in the cyberspace and not on the casino.
