5 iGaming Trends to Watch Out for in 2021

Diversity

It’s no secret that the majority of iGaming players are male. However, with the global pandemic, the split of male to female players now actually sits closer to 50/50. Currently, only around 21% of the iGaming workforce are female, however this is starting to change. Like society as a whole, the gaming industry is starting to diversify both their games and workforces to suit growing female interest.

Mobile Phones will Continue to Dominate

The mobile phone has completely changed our lives in so many ways. With phones becoming more and more advanced, players now prefer to use their device over computers or tablets as their go-to place for all their online gaming experiences. This trend is set to continue with no sign of slowing down. Operators have to ensure that their mobile offering provides the best experience to their players.

More Focus on Responsible Gaming

Over the past few years, there has been a big push to protect players against online gambling addictions. Operators have already started implementing measures to safeguard players which will only increase as time goes on.

Innovation in the Online Casino Sector

Competition between Operators is fierce, which is why innovation is key. As technology continues to advance at a rapid rate, betting platforms will need to continue innovating as popularity for online gambling continues to grow.

Payment Options Expanded

COVID-19 changed many aspects of life, however one of the most influential has been our relationship to money. With more and more purchases carried out online while in lockdown, and the avoidance of “dirty” cash, digital payment solutions have come on leaps and bounds. Combine this with the rise of cryptocurrencies and online gaming platforms will have to adapt to the constantly changing ways in which we pay.
