"Sung Wukong" Goes Live, Wild Re-Spin Mechanism Ignites Player Excitement

The Asian market has long been a major growth engine for the global iGaming industry, and its cultural diversity makes "localization" the first major challenge for content providers entering the region. Unlike the relatively uniform consumer preferences in Western markets, player tastes in Asia vary significantly depending on region, language, and cultural background.Take game themes, for example. Players in Southeast Asia tend to prefer vibrant visuals and dynamic effects, and are especially drawn to games inspired by folklore, mythology, or local traditions. In contrast, players in Northeast Asia often lean toward Japanese anime-style graphics or games with complex mechanics. Additionally, language and currency support—such as Vietnamese dong, Japanese yen, or Indonesian rupiah—are critical for efficient operations and player conversion.To meet these diverse demands, content providers are investing more resources into local market research and language optimization. Many are also partnering with regional operators to co-develop content tailored to specific audiences. Some brands even launch themed games or limited-time events tied to regional festivals such as Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, or Songkran. These seasonal campaigns not only boost traffic but also help foster emotional engagement with players.Beyond language and content, backend infrastructure is also becoming increasingly localized. Features such as region-specific customer service modules, timezone synchronization, and integration with local payment providers have become crucial tools for deeper collaboration between platforms and content suppliers. Many international vendors now operate regional offices or assign dedicated account managers to strengthen on-the-ground support.In the future, success in Asia’s competitive iGaming landscape will no longer rely solely on game quality. The true differentiator will be how quickly and precisely a company can respond to regional cultures and user behaviors. Those who succeed in this regard will gain a significant competitive edge in one of the world's most dynamic markets.

Localization Becomes Key for Content Providers Navigating the Diverse Asian iGaming Market

A recent case of AI-driven fraud has once again stirred controversy within the industry. A deepfake video, created without authorization, used the likeness and voice of a well-known Hong Kong actor to promote an online gambling platform in Malaysia. The actor has publicly denied any association with the platform and has urged fans to stay vigilant to avoid being deceived.<h3>Actor Issues Strong Statement, Vows Legal Action</h3>The fraudulent deepfake video falsely portrayed the actor as an ambassador for the gambling platform. In the video, the AI-generated version of the actor praises the platform as “fun, safe, and easy to win on.” To enhance its realism, the video even includes clips from the actor’s past film appearances, making it difficult for viewers to detect the fabrication.Following the incident, the actor and their agency swiftly released a statement, emphasizing that they had never collaborated with the platform. They condemned such fraudulent activities and did not rule out taking legal action against any unauthorized use of their name and image.<h3>AI Scams Becoming a Global Concern</h3>This deepfake controversy further highlights the growing misuse of artificial intelligence in fraudulent schemes. Cybersecurity firm Group-IB recently revealed that over 1,300 scam gambling websites and more than 500 AI-generated fake advertisements are currently circulating in the market. These fraudulent ads often employ deepfake videos, AI-generated multilingual voiceovers, and even fake customer testimonials to increase credibility and mislead unsuspecting users.The primary goal of these scams is to lure victims into downloading gambling applications embedded with malware, which can then steal personal and financial information. According to identity verification firm Sumsub, nearly 47% of European online gambling operators suffered revenue losses exceeding 10% due to fraud in 2024.This incident underscores the urgent need for the iGaming industry to strengthen regulations and fraud prevention measures. As AI technology advances, criminal organizations are exploiting new techniques to manipulate public trust. This not only threatens consumer rights but also severely impacts the reputations of celebrities and businesses. In an era where AI-generated content is becoming increasingly prevalent, general consumers and players must remain highly vigilant to avoid falling victim to AI-driven scams.&nbsp;Source: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.gamblingnews.com/news/gambling-platform-uses-ai-deepfake-for-fraudulent-marketing/">Gambling News</a>

Sports competitions and the gambling market have long been intertwined. In the past, the gambling industry was often seen as part of the underground economy. However, governments worldwide are now increasingly recognizing and regulating it. This institutionalization trend has not only expanded the sports market but has also strengthened the connection between professional basketball and the gambling industry. From the NBA to European leagues and the rise of the Asian market, sports betting has become a significant force influencing league operations, player careers, and government regulations. Recently, the Hong Kong government has been considering legalizing basketball betting to address its budget deficit. This move could reshape the Asian sports betting landscape and further impact the global professional basketball industry.<h3>Rapid Growth of the Betting Market, Basketball as a Key Focus</h3>The sports betting market is expanding rapidly. Since the U.S. Supreme Court lifted the federal ban on sports betting in 2018, 38 states have legalized it. According to statistics, the total amount wagered on sports events in 2023 reached nearly $120 billion, with the NBA and international basketball leagues becoming major attractions for bettors.This massive revenue potential has prompted the Hong Kong government to consider easing regulations on basketball betting to boost the economy and reduce the budget deficit. Reports indicate that Hong Kong is exploring the legalization of betting on NBA games to increase gambling tax revenue and compete with Macau’s gaming industry. If implemented, the policy is expected to draw 60% of black-market gamblers into the legal market, generating:<ul><li>An annual betting turnover of HKD 52.5 billion</li><li>HKD 1.5 billion in tax revenue</li></ul><h3>Player Gambling Scandals Challenge League Integrity</h3>As sports betting becomes more widespread, incidents involving players engaging in gambling-related misconduct have increased. In 2024, former NBA player Jontay Porter was accused of using insider game information to defraud betting companies, illegally profiting over $1 million. As a result, he was permanently banned from the NBA. This case highlights the complex relationship between players and the gambling industry and raises concerns about the integrity of the game.<h3>College Basketball Also Affected</h3>It’s not just professional leagues facing challenges—college basketball has also been caught up in gambling controversies. During the 2023 “March Madness” tournament, Temple University’s men’s basketball team was flagged by U.S. Integrity, a sports betting monitoring firm, for suspected match-fixing. This incident demonstrates that gambling’s influence has penetrated college-level competitions, posing even greater regulatory challenges.<h3>Potential Impact of Hong Kong’s Policy</h3>If Hong Kong legalizes basketball betting, the Asian market may encounter similar issues. Without strict regulations, players and coaches could face increased pressure from external influences, further jeopardizing the fairness of the game.<h3>The Inseparable Relationship Between Sports and Gambling</h3>The booming global sports betting market has made professional basketball and the gambling industry increasingly interconnected. In the United States, media giant ESPN not only collaborates with professional leagues but also operates its own betting platform, ESPN Bet. The Asian market is unlikely to avoid this trend. If Hong Kong pushes forward with basketball betting legalization, it will further deepen the cooperation between professional leagues and the gambling industry, affecting team sponsorships, data licensing, and audience engagement.<h3>The Future of Basketball and Gambling Integration</h3>The integration of professional basketball and the gambling industry will continue to grow. If Hong Kong implements legalization, it will inject new momentum into the Asian sports betting ecosystem and provide professional basketball with a new financial revenue stream. However, challenges related to player conduct and game integrity will inevitably follow. Moving forward, leagues and governments must work together to establish stricter regulatory mechanisms to balance commercial interests with the spirit of sportsmanship. In this wave of capital and competition, finding a way to achieve a win-win outcome will be a crucial task for all stakeholders.

Basketball and Gambling: The New Era of Commercial Convergence

As the global digital entertainment industry continues to evolve, the iGaming market is also undergoing significant transformations in 2025. Whether it is regulatory changes by governments worldwide or technological advancements driving market shifts, these factors are likely to reshape the competitive landscape of the industry.&nbsp;Regulatory Challenges and Market ResponsesWith increasing governmental oversight on the industry, regulatory compliance has become the primary challenge for iGaming operators. As regulations grow stricter across different regions, operators must adapt to diverse legal frameworks, significantly increasing operational complexity.Some of the most notable regulatory changes include:•&nbsp;&nbsp; United Kingdom:&nbsp;Strengthening financial scrutiny by requiring high-deposit players to undergo enhanced due diligence (EDD). Additionally, operators are mandated to set a maximum bet limit for slot games. The potential increase in online gambling taxes may further impact industry profitability.•&nbsp;&nbsp; United Arab Emirates (UAE):&nbsp;The establishment of the <a href="https://www.gcgra.gov.ae/en/">General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA)</a> marks a major milestone, as the UAE moves toward a regulated gambling market with the issuance of its first lottery license.•&nbsp;&nbsp; United States:&nbsp;Plans are underway to introduce a National Self-Exclusion Program to promote responsible gambling. Additionally, proposed federal legislation aims to impose stricter restrictions on betting advertisements, credit card deposits, and micro-betting activities.Given this regulatory trend, AI technology has become a key tool for operators to navigate compliance challenges. For example, AI-powered player behavior analysis can automatically identify high-risk users and implement preventive measures, ensuring regulatory compliance while enhancing responsible gambling mechanisms.&nbsp;AI Technology Driving iGaming InnovationAs mentioned earlier, technological innovation is the core driver of the iGaming market in 2025. According to a recent research report by Julia Panina, Product Marketing Manager at EvenBet Gaming, 21% of operators have invested in personalized customer experiences, while 18% are actively adopting AI and machine learning to enhance player engagement and operational efficiency. These technologies are being applied in various areas, including:&nbsp;•&nbsp; &nbsp;Advanced AI and Machine Learning Applications: Operators use AI to recommend games based on player behavior, boosting retention rates. AI-driven data analysis also helps businesses precisely target markets and optimize marketing ROI. Additionally, real-time monitoring can mitigate fraudulent activities and improve risk management.•&nbsp;&nbsp; Blockchain and Data Security Technologies:&nbsp;By leveraging blockchain technology, companies can enhance transaction transparency and payment security, reducing the risk of fraud. Panina’s report indicates a strong interest among European iGaming operators in blockchain, with 14% actively exploring expanded applications for this technology.•&nbsp;&nbsp; Virtual Reality (VR) and Metaverse Integration:&nbsp;With VR gradually integrating into the iGaming industry, players can enjoy more immersive gaming experiences. However, high costs and technological barriers remain significant challenges.•&nbsp;&nbsp; DeepSeek Innovation and AI Democratization:&nbsp;The launch of DeepSeek has been a game-changer in the tech world. With a development cost of less than $6 million, it has produced AI models comparable to those of leading global tech firms, proving that high-performance AI is no longer exclusive to large corporations. If DeepSeek succeeds in breaking the U.S. monopoly on AI, it could accelerate global AI development, driving iGaming innovations. The lowered barrier to AI adoption will allow more small and medium-sized game developers to enhance their game offerings and competitiveness.&nbsp;The Future of iGaming: Regulations and Technology Advancing TogetherThe iGaming industry is at a critical juncture where regulatory changes and technological advancements intersect, making the competition fiercer than ever. Operators must stay updated on the latest regulatory trends and adapt to strict compliance requirements while also leveraging emerging technologies to maintain their competitive edge in this dynamic landscape.

With the evolving global economic landscape and advancements in technology, the gaming industry has increasingly become a focus of economic growth for many countries. Brazil, which has recently moved towards opening its gambling market, the US, where the topic became a point of debate during this year's presidential election, and the UK, where gambling culture is deeply rooted, all face unique challenges and opportunities regarding gaming regulations. Despite their differences, these countries also share some noteworthy similarities in their policy directions.<h3>Economic Drivers for the Future</h3>Whether it is Brazil's proposed casino legalization bill, the UK’s steady gambling participation rate, or the push for online gambling legalization across various US states, governments unanimously emphasize the economic benefits and tax revenues the gaming industry can generate. For example, the US has established a tax framework ranging from 15% to 25%, aiming to maximize government revenues following legalization. Similarly, the UK’s gambling market serves as a stable source of funding for public welfare programs. In Brazil, one of the primary motivations for legalizing casinos is to combat illegal gambling and stimulate economic development through a regulated market.<h3>Social Responsibility and Regulation</h3>Policy discussions on opening gambling markets inevitably raise concerns about gambling addiction. In Brazil, opponents of legalization argue that it will exacerbate addiction issues, hindering progress. The UK addresses this by conducting regular surveys to monitor gambling behavior and focuses on protecting vulnerable groups by assessing how gambling impacts them. In the US, consumer protection measures are integrated into new regulations, such as deposit limits and bans on credit card deposits, to mitigate addiction risks. These examples highlight the serious social and ethical responsibilities governments must bear when legalizing gambling.<h3>Trends in Digital Transformation</h3>As technology advances, online gambling has become a global trend in the gaming industry. In the UK, online gambling participation reached 37% this year. In 2023, New Jersey earned an impressive $414 million in tax revenue from online sports and casino betting, prompting other states to consider online gambling regulations to alleviate budget pressures. Brazil, while drafting its casino legalization proposal, has also included provisions for online betting.Despite the varying regulatory backgrounds, the economic potential of the gaming industry is increasingly recognized as global economic pressures rise. If Brazil successfully legalizes casinos, it could provide new economic growth opportunities. The UK continues to maintain market stability through improved regulations. In the US, more states are likely to legalize online gambling in the coming years, highlighting the promising future of the gaming industry.While the global growth of the gaming industry seems inevitable, balancing economic benefits with social responsibility remains a challenge for policymakers. These experiences and challenges also offer valuable insights for Taiwan if it considers developing a similar industry in the future.

Challenges and Prospects of the Gaming Industry in Brazil, the UK, and the US

Spain’s online gambling market recorded notable growth in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting strong market momentum and diverse expansion trends. According to data released by the Spanish gambling regulator (DGOJ), online gambling gross gaming revenue (GGR) for the quarter reached €348.1 million, representing a 14.4% year-on-year increase. &nbsp;Sports Betting and Online Casinos Drive GrowthDespite challenges posed by changes in advertising regulations, sports betting remains the primary driver of Spain's online gambling sector. In Q3 2024, sports betting contributed approximately €145 million, accounting for 42% of total GGR. This underscores the continued enthusiasm of Spanish bettors for sports events. The resurgence of major football tournaments has played a significant role in sustaining this trend, while the flexibility of live betting has also gained popularity among players. With a packed calendar of domestic and international sports events, the sports betting market is expected to maintain its momentum through the fourth quarter.Meanwhile, online casinos saw steady growth, generating €172 million in revenue during Q3, reflecting a 15% year-on-year increase. This rise is driven primarily by the popularity of slot machines and live roulette, meeting the demand for more interactive and engaging digital entertainment options. The diversification of game offerings highlights the increasing importance of digital entertainment within the gambling industry, drawing in more players. &nbsp;ICE 2025 Heads to Spain, Underscoring Market SignificanceA key milestone for the industry is the upcoming International Casino Exhibition (ICE) 2025, which will be held in Barcelona for the first time. This move underscores Spain's growing prominence in the global gambling landscape. Hosting ICE 2025 provides Spain an opportunity to showcase its robust regulatory framework, consistent market growth, and advancements in digital transformation. The event is expected to facilitate international collaboration, attract investment, and further drive the evolution of Spain’s gambling sector. &nbsp;Opportunities and ChallengesThe strong performance in Q3 2024, combined with the anticipation surrounding ICE 2025, injects new optimism into Spain's online gambling market. However, the industry must navigate tightening regulations around advertising and responsible gambling. Operators will need to balance compliance with growth, while ongoing innovation and superior player experiences will be essential to maintaining competitiveness.Looking ahead, Spain is poised to solidify its position in the global gambling industry through international events, policy refinement, and expanding market demand. This growth trajectory positions Spain as a key hub for gambling innovation and development.

Spain's Online Gambling Market Sees Robust Growth in 2024

The 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, besides reaffirming Donald Trump's presidency, also spotlighted the performance of prediction markets. Kalshi, the only legally sanctioned prediction platform in the U.S., gained federal court approval in just six weeks, allowing American voters to legally bet on the election for the first time. This development led to over $700 million in wagers during the election period, with nearly $430 million focused on the presidential race. &nbsp;Kalshi's success highlighted the influence of prediction markets on election insights. While traditional polling institutions like FiveThirtyEight leaned toward Kamala Harris, Kalshi’s data indicated that Trump’s support was steadily surpassing Harris’s, a prediction validated by the election results. Kalshi emphasized that prediction markets could serve as a powerful tool against misinformation, as their data is based on real monetary stakes from voters, unlike the questionnaire-based methodology of traditional polls. &nbsp;In addition to Kalshi, gray-area platforms like Polymarket, which uses cryptocurrency, and New Zealand-based PredictIt, though not officially approved to operate in the U.S., garnered significant media attention and billions in funds during the election period. These platforms not only attracted investors but also prompted the public to reconsider the role of prediction markets in democratic societies and the necessity of their legalization. &nbsp;As prediction markets demonstrate high accuracy in forecasting election outcomes, the demand and support for legalizing such platforms are likely to grow. However, Kalshi and similar platforms still face legal challenges, particularly regarding their gambling nature and compliance with regulatory standards. Kalshi’s data, however, suggests that prediction markets are more than just financial tools. If a balance can be struck between transparency, data reliability, and legality, these platforms could become influential tools in future elections and potentially reshape public understanding of political participation and election processes.

The 2024 U.S. Presidential Election Drives the Rise of Prediction Markets

In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the spotlight was not only on Donald Trump's victory but also on several key ballot initiatives, including proposals for gambling legalization. These measures are set to have a lasting impact on the U.S. gaming industry, especially in states like Missouri, Virginia, Arkansas, and Colorado.&nbsp;Missouri’s Sports Betting Bill PassedIn Missouri, voters narrowly passed Constitutional Amendment 2, which legalizes retail and online sports betting statewide. The law will allow sports betting at 20 locations, including 13 local casinos, 7 professional sports venues, and 2 exclusive online platforms. Supporters argue that the expected 10% annual tax revenue growth will help fund educational programs and gambling addiction prevention. The amendment takes effect 30 days after the election, meaning sports betting could become legal by December 5. However, Missouri voters rejected another proposal to add a riverboat casino on the Osage River, with 52% opposing it.&nbsp;Virginia Approves New CasinoVirginia also saw significant developments, with Petersburg voters approving the construction of the state’s fifth brick-and-mortar casino by 81%. This new casino, operated by the Cordish Group, will be the first approved in four years, joining others in Bristol, Danville, Portsmouth, Norfolk, and Richmond, and is expected to require a $1.4 billion investment.&nbsp;Arkansas Casino Plan RejectedIn Arkansas, voters rejected a fourth casino license authorized by the state constitution, reinforcing the requirement for any future casino projects to gain local approval. This cautious approach reflects the state’s resistance to rapid gambling expansion while allowing for measured development.&nbsp;Colorado Supports Gambling Tax Revenue for Environmental InitiativesIn Colorado, Proposition JJ focused on the allocation of gambling tax revenue. Since legalizing sports betting in 2019, the state collects a 10% tax on gambling revenue, capped at $29 million annually. With over 75% support, voters approved allowing the state to retain all sports betting tax revenue without the previous cap, dedicating the excess funds to statewide water conservation and infrastructure projects.&nbsp;A Promising Future for U.S. GamingThese election outcomes reflect both political shifts and significant progress for gambling legalization across several states. With Missouri lifting the sports betting ban and Virginia and Colorado making strides in gambling-related legislation, the path toward a regulated gaming industry in the U.S. is steadily advancing. The potential for growth in the American gaming market remains substantial, drawing continued public and industry attention.

Gambling Legalization Becomes a New Focus in U.S. Elections

Cracking Down on Illegal Gambling to Enhance Market RegulationThe Legislative Assembly of the Macau Special Administrative Region recently passed an enhanced gaming law introducing stricter regulations and penalties aimed at curbing illegal gambling activities. The new law grants relevant authorities greater powers, imposes heavy fines, and enforces stringent punishments for violations. As online gambling and underground casinos continue to proliferate, the law not only addresses traditional gambling offenses but also expands regulatory oversight into digital crime. This ensures that the current and future gaming markets operate within legal boundaries, upholding Macau’s reputation as a premier, lawful entertainment and tourism destination. &nbsp;Regulatory Improvements Aid Industry RecoveryWith the tourism sector gradually rebounding and the implementation of the new gaming regulations, market confidence is on the rise. The strengthened regulatory environment is creating more stable conditions for legal gaming operators, which, in turn, has drawn renewed interest from international investors, further solidifying Macau’s position as the gaming hub of Asia. According to a recent report from the Economic Society, Macau's GDP is projected to grow by 11% this year, a boost driven by rising gaming revenues and renewed confidence in the stability of the Macau market. Additionally, the Macau government is actively promoting economic diversification to reduce overreliance on the gaming industry, which is generating considerable anticipation around this expanding market. Transformation and Growth: Towards a Diversified Economic FutureThrough this regulatory reform, the Macau government aims not only to strengthen market order but also to promote the growth of emerging industries, including cultural and creative sectors, technological innovation, and non-gaming entertainment ventures. In the coming years, Macau will strive to attract more tourists and investors, building a more diversified and competitive economic system. With market recovery underway and the new regulations in place, Macau’s gaming industry is poised to face future challenges with a solid and predictable foundation, moving toward a sustainable path forward.

As Brazil's online gambling market is expected to become legal on January 1, 2025, the government has intensified its efforts to regulate and crack down on the illegal gambling sector in recent months. According to the<a href="https://www.gamesbras.com/english-version/2023/3/15/new-national-association-of-games-and-lotteries-is-born-in-brazil-36099.html"> National Gaming and Lottery Association (ANJL)</a>, clear advertising strategies and effective regulation will be key to the market's success post-legalization.&nbsp;The Review Progress is On ScheduleRegis Dudena, <a href="https://www.gov.br/fazenda/pt-br/composicao/orgaos/secretaria-de-premios-e-apostas">Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA)</a> under Brazil’s Ministry of Finance, stated at the 3rd Sports Integrity Summit on September 5 that the review of gambling licenses in Brazil will be completed by November 2024. Dudena emphasized that regulatory laws will have a profound impact on Brazil’s online gambling industry. He said, "We successfully issued all relevant regulations by the end of July, ensuring that the industry has clear guidelines to follow. From January 1, 2025, any operators without a legal license that continue to operate will face strict penalties."&nbsp;By the application deadline, a total of 114 companies had submitted their operating license applications through the official system, committing to comply with the regulations set by the Brazilian government. Dudena revealed that all compliant companies would be granted their operating permits at that time. However, the review process requires a thorough examination of extensive company documentation, making it a challenging task to complete the review by November.&nbsp;Proper Advertising Strategy is Key to a Legal MarketIn addition to strict regulations, Plínio Lemos Jorge, President of the National Association of Games and Lotteries (ANJL), urged gambling operators to adopt clear advertising strategies to help players distinguish between legal and illegal platforms. He emphasized, "Advertising is the best tool to guide players into the legal market. Through effective communication, we can ensure that players understand gambling is purely entertainment, not a way to make money."&nbsp;Lemos Jorge further pointed out that illegal platforms, which are not subject to taxes, can offer higher rewards to attract players. Therefore, if advertisements lack clear guidance and explanations, players are likely to turn to the black market, further weakening the competitiveness of the legal market.&nbsp;Additionally, Brazil's <a href="https://brazilcham.com/brazilian-ministry-of-finance-issues-new-ordinances-on-fixed-odds-betting/">Ordinance SPA/MF No. 1,233&nbsp;</a>establishes specific regulations for advertising content in the gambling industry. For example, all ads must display an "18+" symbol and emphasize the risks involved in gambling. The Brazilian government also prohibits gambling companies from using social media for marketing, especially when targeting minors, and will enforce a zero-tolerance policy for such violations.&nbsp;Challenges and Risks of the Black MarketDespite Brazil's efforts to promote a legal market, the black market remains a significant challenge. According to the latest data from <a href="https://www.yieldsec.com/about/">Yield Sec</a>, approximately 49 million Brazilians engaged in gambling through illegal channels in the first half of 2024, accounting for around 23% of the country's population. These figures indicate that the black market still controls a large portion of the market.&nbsp;Currently, the Brazilian government is actively working with digital media giants like Google and Meta to remove ads for illegal websites and plans to restrict illegal operators from using Brazil's instant payment tool, <a href="https://www.bcb.gov.br/en/financialstability/pix_en">Pix</a>. However, ANJL President Plínio Lemos Jorge expressed concerns about overly restrictive advertising regulations, warning that an extreme regulatory regime could push players toward illegal platforms. He cited <a href="https://igamingbusiness.com/legal-compliance/german-court-rules-ggls-tightened-ad-restrictions-permissible/">Germany</a> and Italy as examples where excessive regulation led to an increase in black market activity. "Banning gambling ads is not the solution, and it will only allow illegal operators to monopolize the market," said Lemos Jorge. "The right advertising strategy and a sound regulatory framework are key to driving the growth of the legal market."&nbsp;OutlookAs Brazil moves toward the legalization of gambling, the government and industry players are working to guide the market transition through clear regulations and effective advertising. Both Dudena and Lemos Jorge believe that with proper regulation and promotional strategies, the legal market will gradually expand, offering players a safer and more protected gambling environment. The direction of Brazil's policies also suggests that the government will continue to crack down on the illegal market while encouraging more operators to participate in the legal market, promoting the overall healthy development of the industry.

Brazil to Complete Gambling License Review by Year-End, Moving Toward a Regulated Market

A new integrated resort in <a href="https://psa.gov.ph/classification/psgc?q=psgc/barangays/072226000&amp;regcode=07&amp;provcode=22">Lapu-Lapu City</a>, Cebu, Philippines, called Mactan World Resorts, is set to break ground in 2025. The project, led by <a href="https://www.allianceglobalinc.com/subsidiaries/travellers-international-hotel-group-inc">Travellers International Hotel Group Inc. (TIHGI)</a>, will involve an investment of approximately NT$9.5 billion and become a key development within the Mactan Newtown development plan. Spanning 300,000 square meters, the resort will feature luxury hotels, a casino, and a variety of entertainment facilities, aiming to attract tourists and bring significant economic benefits to the Cebu region.Attracting International Tourists and VIPsMactan World Resorts is just a 20-minute drive from <a href="https://www.mactancebuairport.com/">Cebu International Airport</a>, a key advantage that will boost its appeal to tourists. Cebu International Airport is the second-largest airport in the Philippines after Manila. Data shows that 17% of global travelers choose Cebu as their vacation destination, and this new project will further enhance the region's tourism resources.TIHGI’s Expansion VisionThe development of Mactan World Resorts is an important step in TIHGI’s strategy to expand its market presence. The group already operates <a href="https://www.newportworldresorts.com/cn/zh-cn-stay-escapes-2023">Newport World Resorts</a>, the largest integrated resort in Manila’s Entertainment City. This new project will extend the company’s reach to Cebu, further strengthening its market competitiveness. Last year, TIHGI applied for a casino operation license from the <a href="https://www.pagcor.ph/index.php">Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR)</a> to support the resort's growth.Boosting the Local Economy and Creating New JobsIn addition to the potential growth in tourism and entertainment industries, Mactan World Resorts will create 5,000 jobs during its construction and operation phases. The project is expected to generate around NT$1.36 billion in property and business tax revenue within five years. Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard "Ahong" Chan expressed that this development will not only raise Cebu’s international profile but also serve as a significant driver for the local economy.Expanding Further to Other Philippine Tourist HotspotsBeyond Cebu, Kevin Tan, Chairman of TIHGI’s parent company Alliance Global Group Inc. (AGI), has revealed plans for future investments in other regions of the Philippines, particularly in internationally renowned tourist destinations like Boracay. He emphasized that these projects will help stimulate local tourism and contribute to long-term, stable economic growth across the Philippines.Challenges and Future OutlookAlthough the development plan has generated excitement, experts have pointed out potential challenges. Alfred Benjamin R. Garcia, Head of Research at AP Securities, noted that while Cebu has strong tourism potential, competing with Manila’s Entertainment City will be a challenge. However, as TIHGI continues to expand its business footprint, the company is expected to grow in the coming years and strengthen its position in the Philippine integrated resort industry.

Mactan World Resorts to Break Ground in 2025, Creating 5,000 New Jobs

As digital assets become increasingly prevalent, cryptocurrencies have surged to the forefront of global discussions. Recent policy shifts in various countries and market fluctuations indicate that factors such as regulation, political intent, and market demand are rapidly shaping the future of cryptocurrencies.<h3>The Dilemma of Regulatory Balance</h3>Establishing strict regulatory frameworks for cryptocurrencies can provide institutional investors with clear legal guidelines, enhance consumer protection, prevent fraud, and maintain the integrity of the financial system through measures like the European Union’s Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (5AMLD). Conversely, a more lenient regulatory environment may better foster innovation and development, allowing startups to experiment with new applications of cryptocurrency technology with relatively low investment risks. This is crucial for addressing current issues related to transaction speed, cost, scalability, and interoperability in the cryptocurrency space.<h3>Impact of National Policies</h3>The proposed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act by U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis from Wyoming has garnered global attention. The bill suggests that the U.S. government purchase 5% of the world's Bitcoin supply as a strategic reserve, aiming to enhance financial resilience through diversified asset allocation in the face of economic stability concerns. Lummis believes that this move could create a better economic future for the next generation, particularly against the backdrop of the U.S. national debt surpassing the $35 trillion mark.However, the proposal has also sparked widespread controversy. Some market analysts are concerned that large-scale government holdings of Bitcoin could lead to an overreliance on digital assets and potential market interventions. Jim Bianco of <a href="https://www.biancoresearch.com/visitor-home/">Bianco Research</a> points out that, whether in the form of dollars or Bitcoin, government reserves usually do more harm than good, potentially leading to market imbalances and undermining investor confidence.<h3>Caution and Support in the Financial Industry</h3>In the business world, while cryptocurrencies have gained substantial support in certain sectors, many corporate giants remain cautious. Renowned investor Warren Buffett and <a href="https://am.jpmorgan.com/tw/asset-management/welcome/">JPMorgan</a> Chase CEO Jamie Dimon have both expressed skepticism about cryptocurrencies, citing high risks of fraud and money laundering due to their volatility and anonymity. Nonetheless, JPMorgan Chase has engaged in blockchain technology development and launched the "JPM Coin" service for blockchain-based deposits, indicating that they do not entirely dismiss this emerging technology.On the other hand, companies and investors who support cryptocurrencies believe that, with technological advancements and market maturation, cryptocurrencies have the potential to become mainstream financial products. Tesla CEO Elon Musk is a well-known supporter of cryptocurrencies, and his stance significantly influences market trends and price fluctuations.<h3>Market Volatility and Investor Sentiment</h3>The recent significant price fluctuations in Bitcoin highlight the instability of the cryptocurrency market. In early August, Bitcoin’s price dropped below $30,000, briefly approaching the $25,000 mark, reaching a two-month low. This volatility not only triggered market panic but also led to an increase in long liquidations. Market analysis suggests that this fluctuation is influenced by various factors, including overall economic uncertainty, expectations of interest rate hikes in the United States, and growing global regulatory pressure.Despite heightened market volatility, some investors remain optimistic about the long-term potential of cryptocurrencies. They believe that the decentralized and inflation-resistant nature of cryptocurrencies offers investment opportunities outside traditional financial markets. With technological advancements and market maturation, cryptocurrencies could become an integral part of the future financial ecosystem.<h3>A Future Filled with Challenges and Opportunities</h3>The future development of cryptocurrencies will depend on the interplay of various factors. Finding a balance between stability and innovation will be key to cryptocurrencies becoming mainstream financial instruments. Although the path forward is fraught with challenges, it also presents new opportunities for investors and businesses. Whether cryptocurrencies can become an indispensable part of the financial world in the future remains to be seen and warrants close attention.

Politics, Business, and Market Demand Shape the Future of Cryptocurrencies

Alejandro Tengco, Chairman and CEO of the <a href="https://www.pagcor.ph/index.php">Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor)</a>, stated in a July interview with Bloomberg that the Philippines is poised to surpass Singapore by 2025, becoming the world's second-largest gambling hub after Macau. He believes that if Singapore's gambling market does not expand, it will stagnate, giving the Philippines a chance to catch up.&nbsp;Challenging Singapore's Market DominanceAlthough the Philippines already has dozens of casinos of varying sizes across the country, last year's 76 casinos and gaming halls only generated $4.8 billion in total gross gaming revenue (GGR), far below that of Singapore. However, the Philippines is actively expanding its gambling market to narrow this revenue gap. For example, the $1 billion five-star <a href="https://sn.solaireresort.com/">Solaire North resort</a>, owned by <a href="https://www.bloomberry.ph/">Bloomberry Resorts Corporation</a>, opened in Quezon City in May. The resort boasts 200 gaming tables and thousands of slot machines, showing strong future growth potential. In addition to Quezon City, new casino projects are planned in Clark, Boracay, and Cebu. The previously stalled Emerald Bay Casino is also likely to resume construction, which could bring more international tourists and gambling revenue to the Philippines.&nbsp;Boosting International Tourism, South Korean Tourists as Key DriversThe concentration of these new resorts is expected to accelerate the global tourism industry and help the Philippines achieve its goal of attracting 7.7 million international tourists annually by 2024. As of April, nearly 2 million international tourists had visited the Philippines, 94% of whom were foreigners, with the rest being overseas Filipinos. Despite a decline in Chinese tourists, the number of South Korean tourists has significantly increased, making up more than 27% of the total tourist base.Among international tourists visiting for gambling and entertainment, South Koreans top the list, followed by tourists from Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore. Tengco hopes that the construction of new integrated resorts will offset the decline in Chinese tourists and attract more international visitors.Additionally, the Philippines aims to strengthen anti-money laundering (AML) regulations to attract more foreign investment and be removed from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list, improving its image as a country with significant banking system vulnerabilities prone to financial crime.&nbsp;Singapore Expands Casino Investments to Counter the Philippines, GGR Targeted at $10 BillionDespite the Philippines' ambitious plans, Singapore is also actively expanding its gambling market. Resorts World Sentosa is set to begin a $5 billion expansion project, RWS 2.0, which is expected to add 700 new resort rooms. Meanwhile, Universal Studios Singapore's Minion Park and the S.E.A. Aquarium are under construction, with an expected opening in early 2025. Marina Bay Sands plans a $3.3 billion expansion, including a fourth hotel tower, expanded gaming floors, convention facilities, and a 15,000-seat arena.With these developments and policies, Las Vegas Sands CEO Rob Goldstein estimates that Singapore's total GGR could reach $7 billion this year, and possibly even $10 billion in the future. For the Philippines to catch up, it will need to respond proactively and has a long road ahead.

CQ9 Welcomes You at iGB Live 2024!

Recently, SOFTSWISS analyzed the data of approximately 700,000 SpinArena.net users to generalize the characteristics of social casino players, their active hours and most popular game types, providing important insights for future development.Social Casino Player ProfileAccording to the analysis, the majority of social casino players choose to hide their age and gender. However, for those who do choose to disclose information, it was found that the majority of players are young males under the age of 30. The gaming behavior and preferences of this group have a significant impact on the design and promotion of social casino games.&nbsp;Geographically, SpinArena’s players are primarily from Germany, followed by the United Kingdom<a href="#_msocom_1">[F1]</a>&nbsp;, as well as other European countries such as the Netherlands, Latvia, Italy, Greece, and Poland. This correlates closely with SpinArena’s positioning in the European market and reflects the high level of interest in social casino games among players in the region.When Do Players Participate in Social Casino Games?According to SpinArena.net’s backend data, players spend about 47 minutes playing each time on average, with a maximum of 12 hours in 2024. Players are most active during the day and in the evening, especially between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., when the highest number of players are online. Between 2 and 5 a.m., players are the least active, with about one-third of the activity before midnight.&nbsp;In a week, players are most active on Fridays and Sundays, while Mondays are relatively less active. Overall, however, the difference between the most and least active days of the week is only about 10%, indicating that the day of the week does not have a significant effect on whether players are online or not.Player Retention RateRegarding player retention, data from SpinArena.net shows that nearly 40% of German users are most active on the same day they install the app, while retention drops to 14% after the 30th day of installation. This suggests that despite the appeal of the game to players, players’ behavioral patterns are still influenced by biological cyclicality and social responsibility over time, leading to a significant decline in player activity.Most Popular Social Casino GamesAlthough SpinArena.net has over 3,000 games on its shelves, stats shows that players spend nearly half of their time on the top 15 most popular games. The top five most popular games alone account for a third of all game time, and like traditional online casinos, slots remain the most enduring game category.The Appeal of Social Casino Gaming“This analysis demonstrates that social casinos not only fulfill the demand for traditional casinos, but also provide a safer gaming experience, combining gaming and social interaction while eliminating financial risk. Players can stay socially connected with their friends while playing their favorite games,” said by Jochen Martinez, Founder of Ously Games GmbH.Looking to the FutureVitali Matsukevich, Chief Operating Officer of SOFTSWISS, addressed that social casinos constitute a strong trend in the global entertainment industry, and that the integration of social casinos with iGaming is expected to become the mainstream of development as player behavior is consistent with that of traditional online casino games.

Revealing Social Casino Trends: Insights into Players’ Behavior

Earlier this month, the Special Secretariat of Federal Revenue of Brazil’s Ministry of Finance published Normative Ordinance No 2,191 in the Diário Oficial da União (Official Diary of the Union), which establishes a new tax framework for the gaming industry in Brazil. Prior to this normative regulation, the Special Department of Federal Revenue of Brazil (Receita Federal do Brasil, RFB) had already announced the imposition of a personal income tax (IRPF) on gaming, and therefore, this new regulation further elaborates on the specific tax policy.The Brazilian government has been active in establishing complete gaming regulations recently, and on December 21, 2023, the country passed a legislation regulating sports betting and video games. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the current president of Brazil, signed Bill No. 3,626/2023 at the end of last December, officially bringing it into the legal system.According to a decision of the Economic Affairs Commission last November, Brazil will impose a 15% personal income tax on gaming. However, the tax will only apply to net winnings of more than R$2,824. The tax will be withheld at the time the winnings are paid, meaning that players will be taxed before they receive their winnings. Gaming operators will be responsible for the calculation and collection of such tax.&nbsp;Tax Coverage and CalculationUnder these new regulations, the net winnings are defined as the difference between the winnings minus the amount wagered for each sports event or each online gaming session. However, the player’s losses will not be included in the deduction. This means that a player will be taxed on all winnings even though their gross in-game earnings may be in the red.&nbsp;Reactions and Concerns of the Gaming IndustryThe Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (Instituto Brasileiro de Jogo Responsável, IBJR) has expressed strong opposition to the new tax policy. The IBJR argued that the new tax framework “will jeopardize the development of the gaming industry and remains legally questionable.” The IBJR stated, “The policy of requiring a separate tax on winnings and not allowing losses to be deducted, which would subject bettors who have actually lost money to tax, is unconstitutional and negatively affects consumers.”The institute also warned that this law could jeopardize all the efforts made by Brazil’s National Congress and the Prizes and Betting Secretariat to regulate the market. They argue that the goal of the regulation should be to achieve positive behavior that encourages operators and bettors, which in turn contributes to tax revenues.&nbsp;A New Level of Regulation is on the HorizonBrazil is currently rolling out its gaming regulation policies in four stages. Lawyer Regis Dudena was appointed head of policy regulation at the Prizes and Betting Secretariat (SPA) in April and is leading the process.&nbsp;To date, the published ordinances include Normative Ordinance No. 615, which prohibits operators from accepting credit card or cryptocurrency payments. In addition, Normative Ordinance No. 722 regulates data centers located outside of Brazil, requiring these countries to sign an international legal cooperation agreement with Brazil.Brazil plans to fully promulgate its regulatory policies by the end of July, with the third stage of regulations covering advertisements and video games, and the fourth stage focusing on how the tax revenue generated will be used for socially responsible causes. The gaming industry is keeping a watchful eye on the future development of these regulations, hoping for a more constructive regulatory framework that will facilitate the healthy development of the market.

BiS Sigma Americas 2024 coming soon

Apple recently announced the launch of a new “Apple Sports” app, allowing millions of users to track sports events more easily. This news has excited many sports fans. With the addition of this global giant, it indicates that the online sports betting market may face a disruptive change.&nbsp;Apple’s move attracted widespread attention. Designed specifically for iPhone users, this free app provides live scores, statistics and other information about the game, all designed with speed and simplicity at its core. Eddie Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of services, said: “We created Apple Sports to give sports fans what they want — an app that delivers incredibly fast access to scores and stats.”&nbsp;While the app is ostensibly dominated by the Fantasy Sports platform and sports betting company DraftKings, there’s no doubt that Apple is also a major driver of this potential revolution.&nbsp;In the past, the sports app market was largely limited to smaller platforms and established brands like Walt Disney’s ESPN and PENN Entertainment’s theScore. However, with the addition of Apple, this field will be raised to a new and fiercely competitive level of business war. In this regard, Dmitry Belyanin, an expert in the field of iGaming, made some key comments. He said on social media: “Apple is not involved in this game, they own this game, they are even the referee of this game.” He questioned Apple’s motives in developing this live score application.&nbsp;Apple, for its part, has cleverly eliminated the gambling element from the app upfront, allowing users to hide betting odds through a settings menu. The app, already available in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, includes a functional area called “Sports Center” where users can watch sports events through Apple’s flagship Apple TV streaming service.&nbsp;Apple Sports will promptly update each league in the current season, including MLS, NBA, NCAA men’s and women’s basketball, NHL, Bundesliga, La Liga, Mexican Liga MX, French Ligue 1, Premier League and Serie A, etc. It also promises to gradually add information on other leagues, including MLB, NFL, NCAAF, NWSL and WNBA.&nbsp;According to an introduction released by Apple, users can freely switch between scores and upcoming games, and explore game-by-game information, team data, lineup details and real-time betting odds. Users can also click into the Apple TV app to watch live games from Apple and related streaming media.&nbsp;Overall, Apple’s entry into the online sports betting market could trigger a major change. For Apple, this may be just a small trial, but for the entire industry, it may be a huge challenge. It can be said to be today’s sports betting and tomorrow’s iGaming era.

A Small Bite of Apple, a Giant Leap for iGaming

According to the latest report from Vixio Regulatory Intelligence, Brazil’s online gambling market is expected to show rapid growth over the next five years, with annual revenues reaching nearly $5 billion.&nbsp;The news is backed up by experts in the field, with Vixio’s chief analyst James Kilsby noting that “the move late last year by Brazilian lawmakers to add online casino games to legislation for sports betting should enable Brazil to realize its potential as a major market on a global scale.” However, he also cautioned that the true size of this market will depend on a series of upcoming policy decisions by the Brazilian government, which will have a direct impact on the competitive landscape and attractiveness of the market.&nbsp;In addition to revenue projections, the report also emphasized the competitive landscape of the market. Many experts believe that the Brazilian legal gaming market will attract a large number of domestic and foreign operators, creating a highly dynamic and competitive environment. This will bring more choices and services, as well as stimulate innovation and development in the industry.&nbsp;Issues such as advertising in gaming have also received attention from experts. According to the report, with the further opening of the Brazilian gaming market, advertisement in gaming will become an issue of much concern. Experts suggested that the government and the industry should work together to establish reasonable advertising regulations to protect consumer interests and maintain market order.&nbsp;Moreover, the expansion of lotteries and casinos is also seen as an important development direction for the Brazilian gaming market. According to experts, by increasing the number of lotteries and casinos, more players will be attracted to participate in the market, thus promoting growth and diversification.&nbsp;Despite the enormous potential of this market, there is still a lot of uncertainty as to how large it could become. How the Brazilian government will define the market and how much regulatory relief it will allow remain to be determined through the upcoming interpretation of the regulations, with issues such as the scope of permitted online gaming, the legality of bonus offers, and the application of taxes on the benefits to the players being of paramount importance.&nbsp;Facing the emerging market where the risk of uncertainty is still high, operators and suppliers should be fully aware of the relevant laws and regulations and the market development trend in Brazil in order to grasp the opportunities in the new blue ocean. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Brazil on the Verge of a New Era of Online Gaming

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) recently announced the establishment of its federal regulatory authority for governing the domestic gambling, a move seen within the industry as a significant milestone towards the legalization of the gambling market.&nbsp;According to current federal regulations, anyone caught gambling in the UAE could be sentenced for up to 2-years imprisonment and a fine of AED 50,000 (approx. US$13,615).The establishment of the General Commercial Gaming Regulation Authority (GCGRA) therefore signifies the development of a national framework for regulating lotteries and commercial gambling in the UAE, indicating further expansion of the industry.&nbsp;&nbsp;As specific regulations pend promulgation, some operators have begun taking corresponding strategic actions in the region, including the establishment of the Wynn Al Marjan Island, the latest addition to Wynn’s resort line, on the country’s man-made archipelago of Marjan Island.&nbsp;While federal laws still maintain a relatively strict attitude towards gambling, the establishment of the GCGRA lays the groundwork for future developments. The GCGRA will lead by experienced executives, including CEO Kevin Mulally, a former executive director of the Missouri Gaming Commission with 17 years of experience at Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), and the Chairman of the Board Jim Murren, former chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International.&nbsp;Potential relaxation of industry regulations and permissions to online operators and online betting remains undecided, while multiple sources indicate that companies like Wynn have engaged in talks with the government to establish a regulatory framework.Meanwhile, there are reports indicating the UAE plans to impose a 25% income tax on the industry, with high-end gaming subject to an 8% tax.&nbsp;Currently, the Wynn Resort is actively preparing to enter the potential market in the UAE. The highly anticipated Al-Marjan Resort and Casino are expected to open in early 2027. With a ballpark cost of US$39 Billion, the new resort will include amusement areas, 1500 hotel rooms, dining and leisure facilities, spa, etc. Although licenses are pending, and operational details remain to be confirmed, the CEO of Wynn expresses confidence in the prospects of this market, considering it one of the most exciting new markets in decades.

UAE Opens Up the Potential New Market of Gambling

In recent years, the rapid growth of iGaming market in Latin America has brought new business opportunities for various entertainment activities. Preferences among players, whether for pace, real-time interactions, or a love of sports, continue to evolve.&nbsp;Pace Enthusiasts and Instant Strategy FanaticsIn this thriving market, some players seek unparalleled excitement, aiming to enjoy games in a very short time and expecting substantial gains quickly from a gaming platform (or within a game).While loyal players of such iGaming genre come from various backgrounds and age groups, increasingly, young people, especially those aged 18 to 30 from urban areas, prefer this fast-paced gaming experience.&nbsp;For these users, classic slot machines are an ideal option as they offer diverse themes, high-quality graphics, and bonuses. Furthermore, they enjoy other formats like Crash games, where they can win substantial rewards before the game ends.&nbsp;Real-time Interaction EnthusiastsThis group of players values the capability to interact with others in real-time. Some expects experiences similar to physical casinos at home, while others, particularly young people, appreciate innovative game content and technological resources. They have a strong passion for the game itself, valuing the communications with other players and dealers over the game results.&nbsp;Sports LoversThe motivations of sports lovers differ significantly from the previous two groups. They encompass adults of all ages and geographic locations who share a common passion for sports events.For these individuals, the range of choices is extensive, and they seek game content that meets their expectations, thus being less restricted by a single game or platform.&nbsp;Overall, the iGaming market in Latin America is a diverse ecosystem catering to various entertainment tastes and preferences. With ongoing improvements in website accessibility and technology, diverse audience demands will continue to be met and stimulated. Whether it's the thrill of excitement, real-time interaction, or the love of sports, players will have increasingly more game options, thanks to providers' continuous efforts to provide premium entertainment experiences, ensuring market vitality and a win-win situation for the next generation of iGaming.

Brand-New Development of iGaming Market in Latin America

As time goes by, the iGaming industry is bound to face new challenges in 2024. In this regard, here are some of the key trends that will shape the future of iGaming.&nbsp;Personalization and CustomizationAs technology continues to evolve, iGaming platforms need to offer more engaging gaming experiences. Standardized gaming solutions are no longer enough to satisfy gamers. Instead, personalized and customized gaming platforms have become an inevitable trend as well as an evident practice in the industry nowadays, especially for VIP gamers.&nbsp;Diversification of Distribution ChannelsIn the future, iGaming products will reach out to global players through mainstream channels such as TV and streaming media services. This closer integration of gaming with other forms of entertainment will provide players with a more comprehensive gaming experience and allow products to reach new players through different channels. The emergence of ESPN Bet, which blurs the line between media broadcasting and betting, is a perfect example.&nbsp;Mobile-First EntertainmentWith the rise of entertainment-driven development in the industry, and benefiting from the COVID-19 pandemic that has forced players to shift to online gaming via smartphones and tablets, the need for mobile-first development has become a major focus.As more and more young gamers join iGaming, it will become critical for platforms and game makers to launch products that support responsive technology and provide a good mobile experience. Even though this may be becoming common knowledge, an overview of current platforms and gaming products reveals that the issue of mobile adaptability is still being ignored by many companies.&nbsp;Optimized Application of Artificial IntelligenceThe application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in iGaming will be further expanded, mainly focusing on changing the user experience. Personalized gaming experiences that meet the unique needs of players will be the core application of AI. For example, GR8 Tech has long been using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to recommend content to players and offer bonuses to individual players. At the same time, AI will be used extensively to ensure fair gameplay, detect and prevent potential fraud, and improve game security.&nbsp;Advanced Applications of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)AR and VR technologies will be more widely used in iGaming to enhance the realism of the gaming experience. Although these technologies are currently used mainly for special events and promotions, they are expected to become an important part of iGaming's evolution as the technology continues to develop.&nbsp;Regulatory TrendsGlobal regulation of gaming will continue to increase, particularly in emerging markets such as Latin America, Asia and Africa. This will lead to more structured and stringent regulations. Therefore, operators will have to quickly adapt to new standards, transparency and ethical practices to protect players.&nbsp;In 2024, CQ9 will actively respond to these changes and continue to stand out in the industry with its creativity and adaptability, as it and the iGaming industry move towards a future of innovation and diversity!

iGaming 2024: The Future That Blends Innovation and Entertainment

While the regulations for real money casinos are getting increasingly stringent around the world, there is one form of gaming that is very similar to betting&nbsp;which is being exempted in a growing number of jurisdictions. It is called&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_skill-based_game" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">skill-based gaming</a>, meaning that the outcome of a game is dominated by the skills of its participants, and that every decision and move made by a player in every game is critical to the outcome.&nbsp;Definition of Skill-based Gaming A skill-based game is one whose outcomes are highly dependent on the skills and decisions of the players, rather than just their luck. In this type of game, players need to utilize a variety of skills, such as strategic planning, reaction time, and memory, which have a direct impact on the outcomes of the game. The only players who will be able to win in a skill-based game are those who are able to plan systematically, understand the nuances of each plan, and make informed decisions at each critical point.&nbsp;Differences from Probability-based Games The outcomes depend on skill or pure randomnessAs mentioned earlier, one of the major distinctions of skill-based games is that the outcomes depend on the skill level of players, rather than on pure randomness. For example, in poker games such as chess and blackjack, a player's strategy and card counting ability directly determines whether they win or lose the game. In contrast, in conventional probability-based games, such as slot machines or roulette, outcomes are largely controlled by random factors, and it is difficult for players to influence the outcomes of the game through their skills.&nbsp;Challenge and entertainmentSkill-based games emphasize challenge and competition, in which players seek to win by improving their skill level. This challenge makes skill-based games more popular among players who seek a sense of accomplishment and competitive enjoyment. Conversely, probability-based games focus more on entertainment and are more appealing to players who want to relax and count on their luck.&nbsp;High level of controlIn skill-based games, players can continuously improve their skills to increase their chances of winning the game. However, in probability-based games, where outcomes are largely influenced by randomness, improving skills has a relatively limited impact on the game's outcomes. Therefore, having control over the game is also a major factor that keeps fans of skill-based games hooked.&nbsp;Future Trend of the Gaming Industry The proliferation of skill-based games has inspired traditional gaming platforms to innovate and introduce more skill-based game options to meet the needs of different players. For suppliers, it is a good business to have real money coming in and going out of skill games that meet the definition, and to have easy access to payment channels and advertisements in mainstream media without the need to obtain a gaming license.&nbsp;However, skill-based gaming is inevitably faced with some challenges, especially in terms of regulations and compliance. The definitions of skill-based games vary widely under different legal frameworks. For example, Malta clearly distinguishes "skill-based games" as an economic activity conducted through remote communication techniques for the purpose of obtaining property, the outcome of which is entirely or mainly determined by skill, but does not include sporting events; France stipulates that skill-based games are also considered to be gambling; and China's legislation defines skill-based games as a form of gambling, while China's legislation approach is unconcerned with whether the determining factor of the game is chance or skill; as long as money is involved, it is considered gambling. At the same time, the categorization of skill-based games is more complex than probability-based games, and there is still a need to develop clearer definitions of scope as well as a set of guidelines.&nbsp;Conclusion Overall, the emergence of skill-based games has injected new impetus and vitality into the gaming industry. This revolution not only satisfies players' desire for challenges, but also prompts the gaming industry to innovate and provide players with richer games. Relevant regulatory units should formulate regulations adapted to the new era as soon as possible to safeguard the fairness and legality of the games.

Player-centric product design has become one of the key factors to success in the iGaming industry. In addition to personalized customer experience and excellent customer service, is there anything else to be aware of when it comes to the product itself?&nbsp;Adding Gaming ElementsMany successful iGaming brands have also noticed the importance of the addition of gaming elements. By constantly updating and introducing new features to the game such as special missions, quarterly tournaments, and virtual goods, many players are attracted and kept motivated to participate. For example,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jokerapp678i.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Joker Gaming</a>&nbsp;organizes global slot tournaments to increase player retention and satisfy players' need for a sense of achievement and bragging rights.&nbsp;These gaming elements not only increase player engagement, but also make them more willing to try new products and services. On the other hand, Motivation's live dealing will also introduce the service of livestreamers to guide players and accompany them to play the game in response to the market demand in the near future. Not only can players have one-on-one private conversations with livestreamers in the game, but it also supports a multi-currency reward mechanism that allows players to give gifts to their favorite livestreamers at any time.&nbsp;It is worth noting that&nbsp;<a href="https://motivations.cc/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Motivation</a>&nbsp;has developed the industry's first non-fixed livestreaming window, which allows players to control the size and position of the window according to their own preferences, and to customize the window configuration with a single drag and drop.&nbsp;Meanwhile, in the iGaming industry, operators are increasingly providing players with the ability to pre-order betting slips and track their bets in real-time or automatically record betting information based on past usage habits, making it easy for players to bring up their past history with a single click, as well as allowing them to subscribe to their favorite live dealers in the live dealing system and other more personalized and convenient features, all of which seem to be small changes and may become the key factors for game operators to create revenue in this red sea market.&nbsp;ConclusionThe global iGaming market is undergoing a transformation that puts players at the center of the action. Whether it's providing personalized experiences, improving customer service, and adding gaming elements, these changes will require operators and providers to undergo an internal culture shift to better meet players' needs and build lasting loyalty. While the market is highly competitive, brands that focus on meeting player expectations are expected to gain more market share and loyal player support.

Gaming Unleashed: A Brand-New Fusion of Adventure and Technology

Over the years, casinos around the world have continued to undergo a variety of amazing transformations, from the glamorous brick-and-mortar casinos often seen in movies, to the era of online casinos that offer a wealth of entertainment possibilities, meaning that players can enjoy the excitement of casino gaming from anywhere and at any time.However, the world of online casinos has also changed recently with the advent of sweepstakes casinos. These casinos are gaining momentum in the industry, and some even believe that they will overtake regular online casinos in the future. In this article, we will explore what sweepstakes casinos are, how they work, and how they differ from traditional online casinos.&nbsp;What is a Sweepstakes Casino?<a href="https://www.pennlive.com/casinos/reviews/sweepstakes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Sweepstakes casinos</a>&nbsp;(or sweeps casinos) often seem familiar to those who have played at traditional online casinos because of the similarities in the way they operate. After registering for an account, users can enjoy playing a wide range of online games such as blackjack, roulette, chess, and various slot games.Another similarity between sweepstakes casinos and traditional online casinos is that they both offer a variety of prizes for players to claim, including sign-up bonuses, daily log-in bonuses, giveaways, and prizes earned through tournaments.&nbsp;How Does a Sweepstakes Casino Differ from a Traditional Online Casino?Although sweepstakes casinos are similar to traditional online casinos in terms of their appearance, gameplay, and game choices, their currency systems are quite different. Typically, sweepstakes casinos use two types of currency:&nbsp;CoinsWhen a player registers at a sweepstakes casino, they are not required to deposit cash into their account. Instead, the player can purchase coins (or other tokens that perform the same function) and use them to play on the platform. However, these coins do not have any monetary value and cannot be withdrawn or exchanged for cash; they can only be used in games.&nbsp;Sweepstakes CoinsThe second type of coin commonly found in sweepstakes casinos is the Sweepstakes Coin (or substitutes for the same function). These coins cannot be purchased, but are given away by the system in the form of coins, registrations, daily logins, or in the form of freebies. Lucky Draw Coins can also be used in the game and have no physical monetary value. However, they can be exchanged for prizes, even real-world cash, and can be withdrawn from the player's account.&nbsp;How Do the Regulations of Traditional Casinos Affect the Popularity of Sweepstakes Casinos?The main reason why sweepstakes casinos have flourished is that they are legal in many areas where traditional online casinos are strictly regulated or banned. As a result, players in the area can experience the fun of gaming through sweepstakes casinos.Unlike traditional online casinos that require a cash deposit to play, players can play by giving away sweepstakes coins, which means that players are playing for free and therefore these casinos are not usually considered traditional gambling establishments.&nbsp;Are Sweepstakes Casinos Legal in All US States?Nevertheless, sweepstakes casinos are not necessarily legal in the entire United States.In some states, sweepstakes casinos are still restricted, and such differences depend on how each state views the rules regarding the sweepstakes casino format. For example, sweepstakes casinos are still&nbsp;<a href="https://wsgc.wa.gov/sweepstakes-faq" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">prohibited in Washington&nbsp;</a>because the state's Gambling Commission considers sweepstakes casinos that combine lotteries with promotional contests - a new type of contest that is still not permitted under the state's statutes.&nbsp;Can Sweepstakes Casinos Replace Traditional Online Casinos?It remains to be observed whether sweepstakes casinos will replace traditional online casinos as the new favourite among players.Although sweepstakes casinos have seen a surge in popularity in states where they are permitted by law, it will be an uphill battle for them to completely replace traditional online casinos in the eyes of players unless state laws are changed to prohibit traditional online casinos from operating as well.However, in states where traditional online casinos are not permitted by statute, sweepstakes casinos are a promising business opportunity. After all, the format is still in its early stages of development for many players, and there are bound to be many more potential players waiting to be tapped into.In order to keep registered sweepstakes casino players as loyal customers, providers must continue to include attractive games and ways to drive players to earn sweepstakes coins.It is clear that this new type of casino game provider has a difficult road ahead of them in terms of how to drive the desire of players to log in to the games on a long-term and efficient basis.

Legend has it that the great secret of pirates lies ahead!

The iGaming industry is constantly changing, and one of the most significant transformations in recent years has been the shift in focus from products to the players themselves.&nbsp;In the increasingly competitive iGaming industry, operators are placing more and more emphasis on player-centric product design. This shift is designed to meet ever-changing market demands, increase player engagement, and build long-term brand loyalty. In this article, we will discuss the important factors that should be paid attention to in player-centric product design through specific brand cases.&nbsp;Personalized Customer ExperienceOne prominent brand example of a personalized customer experience is&nbsp;<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/?" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Steam</a>, which leverages its unique set of algorithms and data analytics to provide personalized gaming recommendations to each user based on their browsing and purchasing history, preferences, and ratings. This personalized experience allows users to feel that their needs are being respected and helps Steam increase its user retention rate.&nbsp;In this way, iGaming operators can provide players with personalized gaming recommendations by analyzing their gaming history, game type preferences and playing time. For example, if a player prefers a live online product to a typical slot game, the gaming platform can proactively offer relevant game options, even letting the player know about the most popular dealer room options online, which is expected to boost player engagement and increase loyalty.&nbsp;Customer serviceCustomer service is paramount to player-centric products, and&nbsp;<a href="https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Epic Games</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.riotgames.com/en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Riot Games</a>&nbsp;are two game companies that excel in this area. Not only do they have live chat support systems in place so that players can get help quickly if they have a problem, but their customer service teams also actively participate in various online social media outlets to build more interaction with players, communicate with them over time to build their relationships, and respond to their needs and feedback in real-time.&nbsp;This approach of focusing on customer service helps create a positive user experience where players receive superior attention and service that exceeds expectations. For iGaming operators, investing in quality customer service not only increases player satisfaction, but also increases loyalty and drives long-term engagement. When a brand establishes a sense of camaraderie with its players, the players will be more willing to provide the brand with a more objective and improved experience, which will be beneficial to the brand's long-term operation.&nbsp;With the improved smoothness and convenience of products on the platform together with the support of a stable customer service team, we will return to the product itself in the next article and continue to explore how player-centric games can adapt to the trend and how operators can adjust their products to cope with the trend.

Player-Centric Products – What Operators Need to Know (Part 1)

India’s population, which is currently at 1.35 billion, is expected to exceed China’s by 2023 as a result of the latter’s long-lasting one-child policy. As a result, the middle class, which is the driving force of the consumer market, will continue to expand, which has captured the gaming market's attention. India is already the largest economy in South Asia due to its expanding domestic demand, which has resulted in bullish markets and significant growth potential in many areas. India also ranks among the countries with the highest number of gambling games in the world. The sizzling popularity of mobile games knows no limits. Due to the administrative decentralization of the country, each state and territory adopts a different approach toward gambling. Still, on the whole, there is a general trend toward the legalization of gambling. <a href="https://www.cq9gaming.com/eng/news-in.php?id=37" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">We have shown</a>&nbsp;previously how the market anticipates India to turn into the largest gambling market Due to the rapid spread of smartphones and the expansion of the middle class, the Internet infrastructure is constantly perfected in every region. The added momentum provided by the sudden rise of Fantasy sports games and the craze for sports leagues such as IPL, ISL, and PKL has resulted in a greatly accelerated development of the mobile online gaming market in India. Despite the fact that sports gambling has not yet been legalized by the authorities, a large number of sports fans wonder whether online gambling is in fact, legal. There is no law in India that explicitly defines “online gambling” as an illegal activity. As a matter of fact, all gambling websites accessible in India have been set up in overseas areas and are therefore beyond the jurisdiction of local governments in India. They represent a legal channel for sports betting by the Indian public. Consequently, the legalization of online gambling in India has turned into an implicit reality over the past few years. Even though the Information Technology Act 2000 explicitly bans the use of Internet technologies for gambling activities, legislators, to a large extent, seem to deliberately ignore questions raised by the public or turn a blind eye to the use of overseas gambling websites by Indian citizens.

The regulatory veil of the Indian gaming market is gradually being lifted!

Chief Operating Officer of Spribe, Giorgi Tsutskiridze, expressed his view of the company’s product, Aviator, and how it attracts players of a new generation.&nbsp;Along with the changes of generations, operators of online casinos try their best to attract target audiences of&nbsp;Millennials&nbsp;(Generation Y) and Generation Z, who have astonishing consumption potential. However, most of the operators failed to establish an effective market transaction chain with these groups of people in a meaningful way.An overview of current gaming and recreational options in the market shows the biggest reason might be these casinos failed to provide sufficient persuasion for these generations to give up mobile phone and video games and go for online casinos.&nbsp;Currently, there is an obvious gap on products to fill up in the new-generation gaming market.To fill up the gap, Spribe launched a new product, Aviator, to seize the attention of young people.The game is based on mobile phones and specialized in fast-temper games to attract players. It also allows players to socialize with each other during the game. Players are able to interact with each other through chats and compete with others for leaderboard points.Besides, Aviator contains a compatible mode with desktop computers, and it makes the game meeting preference of different groups widely.&nbsp;According to Giorgi Tsutskiridz, the Chief Operating Officer of Spribe, there are three things that were highly focused during the development of Aviator.First, it is convenience and accessibility. Younger generations only use online gambling platforms that can be easily accessed through smart phones and tablets. Therefore, mobile devices are the key element that must not be ignored.At the same time, social interaction is also a must. Millennials are highly sociable and value the real-time interaction with others during the game. Without the communication with companions or the information from enemies, it makes the game boring and dull in comparison. Team connection between players is getting more and more important for the development of games.Lastly, transparency and fairness are non-negotiable. Generation Y take a skeptical attitude towards online gambling in general. Therefore, they are more likely to trust platforms that use the algorithm proved fairness, share betting odds in detail, and make commitments to responsible gambling.&nbsp;What is the special concern for casino games among Generation Y and Generation Z?Spribe positions itself in the market as “developing games that are able to dig into the mental states among players of Millennials and Generation Z as well as provide them a restless experience from the first round of the game to the last round”.&nbsp;Live betting is a part of the multiplayer game and social network game launched by Aviator. It allows everyone in the game to see the betting amount and winning amount from other players. The special setup adds another layer of excitement to player experience, establishes trust to the game, and makes prize-winning more real instead of being something that can only be seen in the advertisement promoted by game providers. It is why Aviator is popular among this group of people.The game is currently on more than 2,000 online gambling platforms. There are more than 10 million players competing every month. It can deal with up to 10,000 bets at the same time, and there are more than 165,000 bets every minute all over the world.&nbsp;Through Aviator, Giorgi also realized that players like to control the game. They hope to create some impacts to the result of the game even though the game is only a game of chance. Therefore, in Aviator, the connection between players’ decision and the result is clear and impressive.Players can also enjoy the competition of the game and the chat with others. These are the key elements of Aviator’s success. Therefore, not only be limited to the product, Spribe will continue incorporating the key elements into games launched in the future.

Online Gambling is Brought in Line with Generation Y and Generation Z

The emergence of Artificial intelligence (AI) has led to a major breakthrough in the game industry in the field of art design, which has attracted widespread attention from game developers and enthusiasts. The application of this technology not only provides developers with more room for creativity, but also brings a series of challenges.&nbsp;Automatic Generation of Game ContentTraditionally, game art design is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that requires art designers to do a lot of tedious work, such as creating character models, designing scenes, and creating details, but in recent years, the emergence of AI technology has changed this pattern. AI can automatically generate a large amount of game content, from maps and terrains, to character styling and props design within the game, which is not only a time-saving and development cost-saving, but also an opportunity for developers to create their own games. This not only saves time and development costs, but also provides developers with more room for creativity.&nbsp;Enhanced Graphic QualityAny classic, popular and memorable gaming experience on the market usually requires excellent graphic quality. Leveraging AI technologies, graphics quality can be improved with high-resolution textures, realistic lighting, and smoother animation effects. These techniques not only improve the realism of game scenes and sophisticated on-screen effects, but also enhance the visual appeal of the game, making it more competitive and appealing to a wider range of players.&nbsp;Personalized Game ExperienceAI can also be used to provide a personalized game experience. By analyzing players' behaviors and preferences, the game can automatically adjust the difficulty level, storyline, and game content to meet the needs of different players. This personalized experience can increase player engagement, improve satisfaction, and encourage them to continue playing.&nbsp;Challenges and DrawbacksAlthough the use of AI in game art design brings many advantages, it also faces some challenges and drawbacks.&nbsp;Creative ConstraintsOver-reliance on AI can lead to a monotonous game design. Developers may lose sight of the creative side because they rely too much on generated content. This may result in all games looking similar and lacking uniqueness.&nbsp;Quality ControlAI-generated graphics and content may not always meet the developer's expectations. Quality control will become more difficult, as AI-generated graphics often require more supervision and adjustment than before, especially on issues such as graphical consistency and issues related to human and ethno-cultural aspects, and producers will need to put more effort into monitoring to ensure the quality of the game is standardized.&nbsp;Intellectual Property RightsAI mapping techniques often use a large number of datasets and models to generate images and resources. However, these datasets often contain material created by different artists and designers. Therefore, a key question is how to protect the rights of the creators of these images when they are generated by AI.In addition, whether AI-generated images are independently copyrighted is another controversial issue. AI-generated content is not strictly created by humans, so should it be in the public domain?&nbsp;As the use of AI in the gaming industry continues to evolve, it has also led to a variety of legal controversies. In order for this new technology to be successfully applied to future business models, and to ensure that the rights of creators are protected, it is necessary to actively engage the industry, legal experts and the government in the discussion.

The ravaging COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 has wreaked havoc on the thriving gambling market. PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation), which is in control of the casino market in the Philippines, has been actively searching for remedies to prevent the situation from getting worse. However, their efforts have had limited success. According to the consolidated income statement issued by PAGCOR for the first quarter of 2020, profits for the quarter reached 777.4 million Pesos (around 15.3 million USD), which represents a dramatic drop of 49.9% over the same period in 2019. Due to the rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak, all casinos in the Philippines were ordered to shut down on March 15. Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO), which hold licenses issued by PAGCOR, were also ordered to suspend all operations on March 18. On top of that, PAGCOR had to pay gambling taxes and other contributions amounting to US$ 196.7 million (US$ 174.8 million of the total amount had to be handed over to the United States Department of the Treasury.) PAGCOR, therefore, reduced its overall expenditures by 28.4% (around US$ 230 million) to limit its losses. The lion’s share of these savings pertained to social responsibility program expenses. If the epidemic hadn’t struck the country, a large portion of PAGCOR’s revenues would have been earmarked as social welfare contributions. The Philippines currently has over 100,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and more than 2,000 deaths nationwide. The country ranks second to only Indonesia which has a total of 110,000 cases in terms of the number of infections and fatalities in Southeast Asia. The outbreak in the Philippines shows no signs of slowing down and no improvement is expected for the second half of 2021. <a href="http://zh.asgam.com/index.php/2020/04/29/pagcor-sees-1q20-profits-fall-50-as-covid-19-impact-starts-to-bite-zh/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Data reference source</a>

As the gaming industry is booming, the world-renowned SiGMA Europe Expo has recently come to a successful conclusion in Malta.&nbsp;<a href="https://sigma.world/europe/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">SiGMA Europe</a>&nbsp;is the world's leading event for the iGaming industry, and since its inception, it has been committed to promoting innovations and collaborations in the industry.

Growth rate of commercial casino GGR has declined, but sports betting has achieved a growth rate of 16%&nbsp;The New Your State Gaming Commission recently published the financial report for September of 2023, which outlined the performances of commercial casinos, mobile sports betting, and electronic game industry in the state of New York.&nbsp;The report pointed out that, compared with the same period last year, the total GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue) of commercial casinos had decreased by USD 2.1 million, from USD 61.7 million in September of 2022 down to USD 59.6 million in September of 2023.&nbsp;Judging from the four commercial casinos addressed in the New York State Gaming Commission report, there was an overall decline of 3%, which even though may not seem significant upon first glance, but there’s no indication of such a phenomenon occurring in other related industry categories.&nbsp;In September of 2023, the GGR of mobile sports betting was USD 165.6 million, which is a 16% increase from last year’s report, where it was only USD 143.3 million. This significant growth rate is mainly attributed to two major brands – FanDuel and DraftKings, in which the former contributed to USD 76.9 million in September 2023 (USD 65.7 million in 2022), whereas the latter contributed to USD 61.4 million (USD 44.9 million in 2022).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally, although the grow rate of electronic games is no match for mobile sport betting, but its revenue has also seen an increase compared with last year. In September 2023, the net profit of the industry was USD 191.7 million, a 6% net profit increase from the USD 180.2 million last year.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Overall, although the revenue of commercial casinos has seen a slight drop, the revenue of the New York gaming industry as a whole did increase.

Actual ProtectionWhile AI has brought many new variations to gaming products, it can also be an element that is detrimental to the robustness of the industry. Leigh Nissim, CEO of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.futureanthem.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Future Anthem</a>, believes that AI is one way to minimize gambling controversies. For a responsible operator, there has long been a traditionally functioning approach to minimizing risk to players. Yet as consumers move to newer ways of adding value, such as open banking, there is an increasing difficulty for operators in tracking how consumers are adding value. As a result of this shift, it will become more challenging for companies to access and analyze data, and therefore more difficult to continue to perform risk management.&nbsp;AI also plays an important role in customer interactions, for example, by preventing players from dropping out and optimizing the marketing funnel through big data analysis and engagement analysis. In the field of customer service, AI can also be used to enhance the player experience in a more timely and efficient manner, and it is also useful in detecting and preventing improper gambling behavior.&nbsp;Comprehensive Development PotentialAs the gambling industry grows, while much of the discussion on AI has centered on digital applications, AI can play an equally important role in the physical gambling industry as well. According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.datarobot.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">DataRobot</a>, an AI cloud services company, AI can also be applied to casinos. In the most intuitive way, it can be used to predict the skill level of each table in a casino and adjust staffing levels accordingly.&nbsp;Indeed, many other industries are rapidly seeking ways to effectively utilize AI, but AI should not be seen as a remedy for all industries. The implementation of AI can also have a knock-on effect on organizations, especially if they apply AI inappropriately and haphazardly. When enterprises begin the process of implementing an AI solution, they often find that the initial costs and resource intensity are much higher than what they had expected, and they are prone to the misconception that AI will be the panacea for everything, and that it can be applied to instantly improve their efficiency and profitability.&nbsp;Lloyd Danzig, founder of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sharpalphaadvisors.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Sharp Alpha Advisors</a>, believes that enterprises should realize that AI relies on certain data standards in order to be effective. One of the main drawbacks of using AI solutions is that, given the speed and scale of their deployment, the conclusions or predictions they make can sometimes lead to further complications. “The quality of an AI solution depends on the quality of the data that’s being fed into it, which is why there’s a saying of ‘garbage in, garbage out’,” says Danzig.&nbsp;In addition, there has been some public debate about whether the development of AI will become a force to dominate the job market. Nevertheless, the AI industry is somewhat unconvinced by this concern: although AI may lead to a reduction in the demand for employment in certain human tasks, many manpower resources will need to be invested in the field of data. Therefore, when interpreted in terms of data talents, AI can, on the contrary, bring more job vacancies to society.&nbsp;Strictly speaking, the development of AI does not threaten human tasks, but manual processes. This is exactly the misconception that many people have about this new technology. Although there will be fewer manual processes, there will be an improvement in technologies and therefore more data scientists, data engineers, technicians and analysts will be needed for such advancement. The significant implementation of AI and machine learning tools in the gambling industry over the next five years will create a significant number of new jobs, as well as enable stakeholders to shift their focus to more productive functions and create entirely new employment opportunities.&nbsp;Based on Sportradar’s real-world example, it has already been necessary to create an entire team to carry out the necessary support and maintenance in order to keep the AI running. The company currently employs “more than 700 engineers and 40 AI and machine learning experts specializing in the integrated work of creating a database of 20 billion files from data that is 100% accurate and delivers 30 million odds per minute.”&nbsp;Although AI is a revolutionary innovation for the gambling industry, the pace of development of the gambling industry is also rapidly accelerating, and with the complementary nature of different technologies, it is believed that the industry will be able to lay a more stable path for its future development.

The Intelligence of the Future: Artificial Intelligence and the Gambling Industry (Part 2)

According to the latest data released by Maple Capital Advisors, the total value of the Indian gaming market currently exceeds US$ 930 million. Experts forecast an annual growth rate of 41% for this market in sync with the pace of industry development. They also predict that the total value of the gaming market will exceed US$ 1.1 billion at the end of 2020 and the number of online gamers will reach around 630 million. Online gambling lawsIn the mid-1990s, horse racing was a legal betting activity in India since it involves skill elements and is not solely based on probability. The government of Sikkim Province requires all its licensed gambling operators to pay monthly taxes amounting to 1% of their total gambling revenues. Online gambling licenses which are valid for one year have to be renewed annually.&nbsp; Indian gamers who engage in online gambling do not face prosecutionAlthough India lacks nationwide laws and regulations, Indian gamers love online gaming. They usually utilize VPN to log onto offshore gambling sites and indulge their habit. However, no record exists of prosecutions of any local gamers by the Indian authorities. Despite the popularity of online gambling, numerous opponents point out that this habit leads to various problems such as money laundering, higher crime rates, and more serious corruption. On the other hand, supporters of the legalization of gambling counter that it generates enormous revenues for the country, which is a boon for the nation. They argue that gambling doesn’t cause the country any harm. &nbsp;The Indian Government doesn’t actively support online gaming, but it has adopted plans in recent years to enable a rising number of citizens to access the Internet conveniently. These netizens can engage in online casino games or participate in e-sports competitions, which in turn benefits the online gaming industry. <a href="http://www.mangalorean.com/is-there-a-future-for-the-online-casino-industry-in-india/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Data reference source</a>

CQ9 Welcomes You at iGB Live 2023!

The iGaming industry has consistently put a spotlight on diversity and inclusion in recent years, moving away from limiting itself to only talents with experience in the gaming industry, and beginning to welcome young blood from different backgrounds. Earlier this year, Pentasia presented their recommendations for a more diverse and inclusive environment in the gaming industry at the ICE London panel discussion, where they emphasized that the key initial step would be to delve into the extensive gaming industry management database to understand how companies are approaching the issue. Pentasia made it clear in the presentation that, “We’re not looking only for people with experience in gaming, but those who demonstrate enthusiasm and interest in a wide range of things.” While this may seem like an obvious point of view, given the long history of an issue with gender diversity in the gaming industry, it is unlikely to change unless companies are willing to hire people with no experience in the gaming industry.Fortunately, thanks to the strong support of Alastair Cleland, Pentasia’s Managing Director of Recruitment for the iGaming industry, there are an increasing number of gaming companies that are beginning to embrace this concept. He said, “We've been receiving a lot of requests lately from mid-sized and tier one gaming companies to provide them with a more diverse roster of candidates.” He added: “When we receive such requests, we usually advise recruiters to consider a wider range of candidates from outside the gaming industry, and in most cases, those companies are generally receptive to this idea”. Likewise, Andrea Talreja, Head of Human Resources at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.qih-group.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">QiH Group</a>, holds a similar view. “For roles involving regulatory control or compliance issues, it's important to have a foundation of industry knowledge, especially in the ever-changing legal landscape of the UK,” said Talreja. Yet she added, “But there are some roles, such as digital marketing, where experience in other industries can also be an unexpected bonus.” She also finds that this innovative perspective not only helps to improve stereotypical gender ratios in the workplace, but also brings a new way of thinking to the company. Nevertheless, adopting such a diverse approach to recruitment has not been easy, and the issues needed to be taken care of during the actual recruiting process are often more than expected. Both Cleland and Talreja said that when recruiting in the iGaming industry, male applicants tend to make up the majority of the pool, thus making it more time-consuming and difficult to assemble a diverse roster of applicants. This recruitment process often involves headhunting and a complex selection process utilizing various referral channels and social media platforms such as LinkedIn. Despite the tedious process, the results can be beneficial not only to the employer, but also to the new recruits who will be better suited to the job.A case in point is Anna Mackenzie, a data engineer at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pythiasports.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Pythia Sports</a>, a predictive sports modeling and data collection company. Mackenzie initially went into investment banking in the U.K. after earning her Engineering Science degree in 2017, but she soon realized she lacked enthusiasm for the industry and decided to go back to school to learn more about programming. Meanwhile, she drew on her particular passion for equestrianism, using equestrian data to develop her modeling skills. Eventually, she was headhunted because of her special expertise in both data engineering and equestrianism. Mackenzie is also a member of the group “Women in Data Science”. In this organization, she meets with young female job seekers interested in entering the sports betting field, helping them find the right position, providing career advice and creating a positive cycle for the industry. According to Talreja of QiH Group, as more women enter the gaming industry, there are more opportunities to attract other diverse job seekers. Once the gender ratio within the company reaches a reasonable level (QiH Group's workforce is currently close to gender-balanced), the company will be able to demonstrate that its workplace culture is diverse and inclusive. As a result, more candidates from various backgrounds will be attracted to join in, thereby bringing more different perspectives and creativity to the industry, which is sure to be a brand-new benefit to the iGaming industry as it moves towards a more diversified future.

Mummy's Treasure, the latest arcade game released on CQ9

As casino games continue to evolve, so does the need for the latest technological advances, and one of the fastest-growing areas is artificial intelligence.&nbsp;Artificial Intelligence (AI) has influenced the way the gambling industry operates in many ways, not only broadening the industry’s horizons, but also creating an entirely new gaming environment with virtually unlimited machine-operated capabilities.&nbsp;In fact, every area of the gaming industry, from developers creating games to operators monitoring their customers’ play, is increasingly utilizing AI to innovate with greater precision and time savings. AI is also changing the way the world develops outside of the industry. For example, AI will be a key component of self-driving cars and medical technology advancements, to name a few.&nbsp;Looking back over recent years, Paolo Personeni, Managing Director MBS (Managed Betting Services) at&nbsp;<a href="https://sportradar.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Sportradar</a>&nbsp;AG, believes that AI is an important sign of maturity in the industry and is vital to its continued growth. “AI is a key component of product development,” said Mr. Personeni. “Over the past five years, our industry has undergone a major digital transformation, and AI has played a critical role in its development.” It is clear that AI is a key technology in the industry that cannot be ignored.&nbsp;Diversified ApplicationsIn the gambling industry, AI can collect data and analyze statistics and events to continuously improve its accuracy, making the industry an ideal testing ground for the development of AI.&nbsp;Lloyd Danzig, founder and managing partner of Sharp Alpha Advisors, points out that data is at the heart of how AI works in the gambling industry, and that it is a core competency needed for game design, odds making, risk management, customer analytics, incentive program optimization, and fraud detection. Therefore, it is expected that the industry will rely heavily on the use of AI to consolidate historical data and predict future behavior.&nbsp;&nbsp;Aiming for the GoalAccording to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.personal.ai/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Personeni</a>, the use of AI is particularly critical in the sports betting sector, where it is central to ensuring that Sportradar’s products and solutions are as accurate as possible. He further explains, “For Sportradar, one of our core focus areas is to develop superior computer vision capabilities using machine/deep learning, which is a form of AI that can be used to analyze models and further parse video and images. For example, by calculating a player’s speed and trajectory, we can predict when a player is offside, or predict when an attack will start.”&nbsp;At the same time, the design of AI can complement more aspects of the game, allowing for more unrestricted game development in the future. In 2019, hardware intelligence company MicroTeam launched a pair of AI soccer boots that can capture relevant sports data at high speeds with an accuracy that can even be calculated in millimeters, including the line of attack and the distance traveled without the ball. This data can then be analyzed and used in player and match evaluations as well as sports betting platforms. AI is also used to analyze and predict e-sports matches to provide bettors with the best possible experience. For example, Esports Technologies filed an AI patent in October last year for the creation of odds models for e-sports betting competitions.&nbsp;

The Intelligence of the Future: Artificial Intelligence and the Gambling Industry (Part 1)

<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/Q6jKKm1o.jpg">Due to the dual impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and gradually rising operating costs, a large number of gaming companies in the Philippines successively terminated their leases and left the market. Several of these operators secured a new foothold in other countries such as Malaysia, Dubai, Ukraine, Palau and Cyprus.&nbsp;Malaysia and Dubai are currently viewed as the new top locations and ideal alternatives for the Philippines. However, as a result of serious economic losses caused by the pandemic in Malaysia coupled with crackdowns on illegal online gaming activities by the Malaysian government, a rising number of operators opted for the new gaming mecca Dubai.&nbsp;Dubai features a stable pool of dispatch manpower and is one of the largest centers of international commerce. Gambling also generates significant tax revenues, which injects new life into Dubai’s finances. The Dubai Government therefore provides an ideal and attractive business environment to entice a large number of Chinese operators to set up bases in Dubai. It should, however, be noted that Dubai resembles Malaysia in that it strictly prohibits local citizens from participating in any kind of gambling projects. Licenses or permits can be revoked in case of violations of the stringent laws and regulations.&nbsp;We have come to the conclusion that Dubai owes its competitive edge to the large pool of skilled manpower imported from India. In view of the fact that India is the next emerging market of the industry, businesses in Dubai that utilize Indian labor are not only eligible for government support but also ensures closer cultural links with the Indian market through the contents of their projects.

Will Dubai be the next powerhouse of the gaming market?

In February 2023, ICE London, the world’s largest recreational gambling event, will be held.&nbsp;The Largest ICE Exhibition in HistoryThe interaction and communication between industries have been delayed for years since the outbreak of the pandemic. Under the theme of “Stronger Together”, the long-awaited ICE London exhibition will bring together many international brands and related suppliers in the industry. “The three-day event is expected to be the largest ICE London show in history”, said the organizer.&nbsp;Look into the Future with CQ9With the rapid growth of science and technology, we continue to explore and move forward. Therefore, with the theme of “WIN-WIN SOLUTIONS” as the relevant image and design axis of this exhibition, CQ9 showcases its spirit of keeping pace with The Times.&nbsp;The Latest CQ9 Products that Cannot Be MissedAs online entertainment becomes more and more international, we are well aware that our partners’ demand for products is becoming increasingly diverse.

Great Event Ushering in New Peak of the Industry - ICE London 2023

The American Gaming Association’s annual&nbsp;<a href="https://www.globalgamingexpo.com/en-us.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Global Gaming Expo</a>, or G2E, returns Monday to Las Vegas, with its four-day trade show boasting the latest in gaming technology and products as well as a lineup of keynote speakers, educational workshops and networking events. The event at the Venetian Expo (formerly the Sands Expo) will run through Thursday, with nearly 350 exhibitors and sponsors. Organizers expect at least 25,000 attendees. “It’s really a tremendous period of growth and transformation in the gaming industry,” said Maureen Beddis, senior vice president of membership and events at the association. “A lot of that has to do with the continued legalization of gaming into new verticals like sports betting, and what we’re starting to see with iGaming. And, as the industry continues to experience that growth, we’re working at the G2E show to make sure that those areas of growth are also seen throughout the show.” Nathan Drane, senior vice president of global product management at Light &amp; Wonder, said the Las Vegas gaming manufacturer planned to show off old and new hardware, from classic machines that players already love to a new jumbo cabinet that he called large in “its name and large in its nature.” Light &amp; Wonder loves this time of year, which it calls a “Pre-G2E” period, Drane said, when the company spends six weeks leading up to the convention engaging with hundreds of customers to show them new products, get feedback and learn where it can improve. “It’s a rallying point for a company like ours,” Drane said. “We have all the studios trying to get all their products ready in the best form and shape they can be, to demonstrate to customers, investors, other companies and even our own internal people.” There’s a similar air of excitement over at Aristocrat Gaming, where employees are eager to display six games from their new NFL-licensed, league-themed portfolio, said Ryan Scott, vice president of commercial strategy. The gaming manufacturer is coming to G2E with brand-new, for-sale content, Scott said, just as it did last year. “The challenge was to come back and repeat that this year,” he said. “And that’s what we did. So we’re happy to show powerful portfolios, innovation ­— all of the above — and it’s gonna be really exciting.” The gaming industry is multifaceted, Beddis said, and the trade show will reflect that. Not only will attendees be able to see top-of-the-line slot machines and other gaming software, but they will also have the opportunity to engage with technology, payment, sports betting companies and more. “It’s really the place where the entire industry comes together, and — as the industry continues to grow — where those new segments of the industry are welcome, and kind of hop right in,” she said. Andrew Crowe, senior vice president of investor relations and growth initiatives at Las Vegas-based Sightline Payments, said G2E offered the “perfect timing” for the digital payments provider and mobile app developer, as it continues to establish an “omnichannel” payment experience for casino consumers, which they can use to spend across a resort property. The company uses G2E as an opportunity to connect with its partners in-person and collaborate further, as well as just to walk the trade show floor and consider how to improve the user experience. Because as important as the technology is, Crowe said, the user experience is ultimately what it’s all about. “It’s often how you stitch multiple technologies together — vertically integrate multiple providers so that they can conserve that greater good of a better user experience — that’s important,” he said. Beddis said she also was excited for the educational program, noting that people in the gaming industry loved to share knowledge. Even as gaming grows on both a national and global scale, she added,&nbsp;the energy of Las Vegas continues to make it the destination&nbsp;for a gaming convention like G2E. Its plethora of entertainment, dining and now sports set it apart from other destinations. “All of these things are really just continuing to put Las Vegas even bigger on the map and helping it retain its title as the Entertainment Capital of the World,” she said. “So, where else would it make sense to host G2E than right here, where all these exciting things are happening?” It’s critical that G2E be hosted in Las Vegas, because it’s still the best market for companies to launch their new products, conduct market research and so on, said Dave Kubajak, senior vice president of sales, marketing and operations at JCM, the global Southern Nevada company that leads the industry in automated transactions — like the return of credits after money is inserted into a slot machine. “I’ve watched gaming grow from being very little globally, to really being a major powerhouse of an industry globally, and I would say if you’re looking for the hub of technology and innovation and invention, it’s still here in Vegas, and definitely Nevada,” Kubajak said, emphasizing that the JCM booth at G2E would display the iVIZION bill validator, GEN5 thermal printer and ICB ASAP robot, which handles and processes cash from casinos. In fact, Kubajak said, even as gaming proliferates across the U.S. and trade shows kick off in new markets, many companies will still wait to premiere their products until G2E in Las Vegas, because Nevada is still the hub for any new technology or innovation in the industry. “All of your major players have their development teams here, their project management and product research teams here,” he said. “This really remains the global hub, and then they take the technology that’s developed here and they roll it out globally. But this is kind of where the magic happens.”

Exhibitors at Global Gaming Expo ready to ‘make the magic happen’ this week in Las Vegas

CQ9 made a blockbuster launch of the new slot game -The Chicken House!

Virtual reality is considered by many people to be the next great chance in the gaming industry. Compared with physical games, VR games go one step further and allow players to use VR glasses and sensory devices to fully immerse themselves in an online environment.Without leaving home, players can enter a virtual casino with visual and auditory effects from real casinos. In this space, players can interact with other users through life-like games in which the dealers distribute the cards and slot machines.&nbsp;However, for this industry, is VR casinos a developing trend or is it just a short-term fad? This article uses the following points to explore:&nbsp;Overview of VR Gaming MarketAccording to Technavio’s VR gaming report, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the VR gaming market will reach 53.1% from 2020 to 2025.This result is largely attributable to the casino’s continued growth online. The popularity of online live games, streaming media, and e-sports, as well as the booming of new and promising markets in Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and Africa, make this development trend clearer.&nbsp;However, there are still many potential obstacles to overcome in the development of VR casinos, including the high cost of VR glasses and peripheral hardware equipment, privacy issues, and supervision uncertainty. These issues will limit the growth of the VR market and the willingness of online players.&nbsp;VR Hardware and Software MarketAt present, VR casino games don’t make up much of the online gaming world. Our goal is to make VR casinos go beyond the previous 3D lobby and create a fully immersive gaming room where users can interact with players and live dealers just like they would in a physical casino.&nbsp;As virtual reality hardware evolves, we expect these experiences to become even more thrilling. For example, players can walk in the 360-degree simulated environment of the Las Vegas Strip without going out, or enjoy the additional experience brought by the VR game -immersive role-playing game (RPG) etc.&nbsp;If the number of people buying VR glasses increases, it can easily be expected that VR will become the mainstream of the gaming industry. However, whether this assumption can be true is full of uncertainties. In addition, in the development of VR hardware devices, can developers accurately predict players’ ideas? Or will they face more diverse voices in the market? These are variables that affect the popularity of VR devices.&nbsp;On the other hand, according to recent data released by YouGov, due to the high price of VR glasses and lack of compatibility, 32% of American players and 24% of British players believe that VR has not achieved its potential. This makes it impossible for developers to obtain corresponding economic rewards on hardware devices; therefore, it is unlikely that software compatible with hardware will continue to be developed; and users will be further reduced because of the difficulty of obtaining software. Whether this vicious cycle can be overcome remains uncertain.&nbsp;Although the development of VR has been arduous, there are still signs that this market is promising. According to research published by Statista, the global VR market is expected to grow from “less than $12 billion in 2022 to over $22 billion in 2025.”

Is Virtual Reality Casino A Trend or A Fad? (Part 1)

2022 iGB Live came to an official conclusion at RAI Amsterdam on July 8!As one of the most influential exhibitions in the industry, iGB has brought together more than 200 exhibitors and more than 5,000 iGaming professionals with Connect, Converse and Convert as its focuses this year. It’s a great honor for CQ9 to participate in the annual event as an exhibitor for the first time, observing and emulating with the practitioners from all over the world, exchanging innovative technologies and market trends related to the gambling industry as well as releasing the latest product of the year.&nbsp;In this exhibition, CQ9 team will present the product features of the its brands as well as development and cooperation plan to the participants in hopes to take this exchange as an opportunity to establish good foundation of mutual trust and assistance.

CQ9’s Debut at iGB Live Was Warmly Received!

A recent report from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.softswiss.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">SOFTSWISS</a>, a leading software provider in the online gaming industry, emphasizes the significance and advantages of using artificial intelligence tools.The company's report outlines the applications of AI tools in content design, customization, player management, and real-time database analysis.&nbsp;Leveraging Artificial Intelligence ToolsSOFTSWISS' research and development team has developed a unique tool that utilizes machine learning to identify suspicious cases. Once flagged by the machine, such cases are sent to experts within the company's anti-fraud team. Through this application of machine learning and AI technology, SOFTSWISS analyzed nearly 62,000 data records in 2022 alone, resulting in over €16 million in cost savings for operators. This analysis task would have been a time-consuming and labor-intensive challenge if done manually.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.softswiss.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">SOFTSWISS</a>&nbsp;reveals that AI tools also bring benefits to enhancing player management efficiency.The company's R&amp;D department created a service named DOSSIER, used to analyze player behavior and enhance gaming experiences.With DOSSIER, operators can provide customized services to specific customers in real-time. Additionally, this service aids in identifying high potential lifetime value (LTV) customers, enabling operators to offer special incentives or assign them to individual managers for customer management.&nbsp;Furthermore, AI technology brings similar advantages to SOFTSWISS Sportsbook. After collecting data in real time, the company can provide customers with more tailored content. This allows customers to receive comments and recommendations that are more relevant to their preferences and interests, thus enhancing player experiences.&nbsp;Another significant application related to AI involves design.According to the SOFTSWISS report, its WebStudio utilizes AI technology for specific projects to generate unique and diverse content and concept art. The company notes that AI-generated content makes the work of animators and artists more efficient, streamlining the otherwise time-consuming process of image creation.&nbsp;Enhancing Efficiency with AI ToolsDespite the immense convenience and efficiency brought by artificial intelligence, Vitali Matsukevich, the CEO of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.softswiss.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">SOFTSWISS</a>, offers a recommendation for this new mode of operation: while AI can effectively analyze vast amounts of data, expert judgment is still essential for making final decisions. Relying solely on AI for business decisions is not a one-size-fits-all solution.He emphasizes the potential of AI technology in processing large amounts of data to enhance efficiency. However, over-reliance on AI in decision-making could lead to unforeseen consequences, potentially resulting in unpredictable economic losses if not properly controlled. Therefore, businesses should understand that the path to success with this new technology lies in finding the right balance between supervising and utilizing AI capabilities, rather than full dependence.

Artificial Intelligence Tools Bring Benefits to iGaming

In the previous article, we have roughly mentioned the overview of the current VR gaming market as well as the perspectives of software and hardware. Next, we will introduce potential obstacles to the development of VR:&nbsp;Graphics QualityIn theory, VR should be able to create graphics with high frame rates and high-resolution. Right now, however, the graphics quality available in VR apps is relatively immature compared to the latest games on PS5. This situation may discourage initial users and hinder future development of VR gaming platforms.&nbsp;Barrier in PurchasingThis is one of the biggest problems in the VR gaming market right now.Many people are unable to play in VR casinos due to the high cost of purchasing equipment.In 2022, the average cost of VR glasses in the United States is $430, and it is expected that the cost will remain at this price in the next few years, not to mention the high-spec glasses on the market, which may even cost thousands of dollars to start.If production costs remain high, it is unlikely that VR will reach the mass market in the future and become available in every home.&nbsp;Supervision UncertaintyVR casinos are an emerging market that is still in its infancy, which means that the corresponding supervision system has not yet caught up with market demand. The basic legality of this market alone may be a major task that hinders operators from laying a foundation for the market.Currently, there is no supervision framework for VR games in the United States. Even who should oversee the platform is still under discussion.&nbsp;What VR Casinos Need to SucceedAlthough the market is full of confidence in the potential development of VR casinos, operators and technology suppliers still need to be more prepared to outperform online gaming platforms (such as live video games) that are nearing maturity.After all, while non-VR online gaming platforms can’t offer the grandiose experience of immersive VR, they offer something much more important — real money games, full-fledged mobile apps, social promotions, and all without investment of expensive devices.These platforms have set a precedent for the bare minimum that players can expect. Therefore, future VR casinos need to at least meet the above, and even more, requirements in order to attract players to switch platforms.&nbsp;Supervision and SafetyTo establish credibility, operators will need to prove their credibility, including passing rigorous testing and review of all products, and obtaining an official gaming license through a recognized agency to demonstrate iGaming compliance. System security also needs attentive consideration. Most online casinos currently use SSL encryption, while potential options for VR casinos include biometric security and distributed ledger technology (DLT).&nbsp;Increase of Game ChoicesIn order to compete with mature online gaming platforms, VR casinos need to increase the variety of games to match the products of standard casinos. That means adding classic table games like roulette, blackjack, poker, and plenty of slot machines.On this basis, VR casinos have the opportunity to compete with existing online gaming platforms by providing simulated games and immersive experiences on virtual platforms.&nbsp;Offer Convenience for Real Money GamesIn the world of VR gaming, opportunities for real money games are still rare.In order to compete with existing online gaming, VR casino operators need to introduce more convenient payment options (e.g.: virtual cash register). The payment method may be cryptocurrency transactions, and this part has gradually gained consensus on online gaming websites.&nbsp;In-Game Chat Interaction OpportunitiesIn-game instant communication needs to improve if VR operators are to compete with real-world gaming experiences as they claim.At present, the social functions in most VR casinos are only the most basic ones. Operators should look for more opportunities to facilitate live conversations, tableside conversations, and chats between players.&nbsp;Fortunately, cloud communication technology is also constantly developing. The maturity of communication technology allows users to communicate more instantly and directly. If the scope of communication technology can be expanded in the future, VR casinos are expected to add more real-time interactive services.&nbsp;Are VR casinos Just a Fad?Although the current development is relatively immature, VR casinos are promising. Whether VR casinos will be a trend of the future or be forgotten in the market will depend on the implementation of fundamental developments. Without these developments, VR casinos will not be able to break into the mainstream market.At present, the hypothesis of applying VR to online games is still full of unknowns, but we have to wait and see.

CQ9 Gaming to Collaborate with Gamblorium

Starting from the early 2000s, online gaming has experienced a rapid growth sprout which enabled it to evolve into a thriving and blooming industry. Gone are the usage of simple lines/graphics as well as very basic functions, online gaming now holds a market size worth tens of billions of US dollars. Currently, millions of online gamers have fallen in love with the plethora of online gaming experiences offered, making it a very valued form of entertainment. In this article, we shall discuss the groundbreaking developments in the field of online gaming as well as how it redefines the entertainment industry.&nbsp;Gambling Games on Mobile Devices&nbsp;While mobile games have been around for quite some time, as it has been circulating on the market for almost as long as online gambling games, it is a form of gaming that has only gained popularity recently.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Such a surge in market scale not only can be attributed to the widespread usage of high performance smart phones and tablets, but the rapid addition of mobile gaming types in the app store also plays an important role.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to the difficulty in obtaining traditional gaming devices such as the arcade or the personal computers, online gambling games on mobile devices are especially welcomed in the market of developing countries. In fact, it can be said that mobile online gaming has carved out a place of its own.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/91nv6nih.jpg"> Blockchain Game: Apps That Are Enough to Shake Up the Gaming Industry&nbsp;In traditional games, specifically the games which contain trades of virtual items, players must comply with the End-User License Agreement (EULA) which states that the ownership of all in-game virtual items belongs to the game operators. Moreover, to avoid any gambling-related legal disputes or liabilities, an announcement is also made by the game operators stating that the virtual items issued in-game do not contain any actual economic value outside of other games or online stores. Blockchain games, however, works differently. Instead of game operators having ownership over all virtual items, the ownership of a NFT (virtual) item transacted in a blockchain game is permanently transferred over to the buyer. Also, all NFT items can be re-transacted freely in any partnering markets outside of the game, and thus giving real economic value to these NFT items, which in turn brought incomparable advantages to the online gaming world.&nbsp;As long as blockchain is integrated into online gaming, developers are able to provide players a transparent, secure and decentralized experience, thereby offering the real ownership of virtual game assets, such as items, skins, and characters, while at the same time fostering a sense of trust among players. Through the steady rise in the status of blockchain, its integration with online gaming is expected to demonstrate greater potential.&nbsp;&nbsp;Cloud Gaming: Bringing Revolutionary Changes to the Gaming IndustryEven though it’s a rather new concept, but cloud gaming could very well change our future gaming experience. By then, players can play games just by the transferring of data through the internet, completely cutting out the need to download the game onto the hardware.&nbsp;This revolution enables player to experience high-quality games even if one lacks the adequate equipment to do so, which means that players are no longer confined to the hardware limitations of a budget PC or a subpar smart phone.&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to the fact that players have lowered their investment thresholds for expensive gaming hardware/equipment, the development of cloud gaming opens up a broader road for the even bigger gaming market.&nbsp;Artificial Intelligence: Promising Technology Waiting to be Refined and Developed&nbsp;With a broad range of applicability, artificial intelligence (AI), which has sprung up in recent years, has gradually been incorporated into some online games. However, after digging further into the new technology, it is not hard to discover that AI still has immense potential, as its technical depth and application breadth are yet to be fully developed.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AI not only can elevate the intelligence and the realism of NPCs, it can even assist the game to perform more complex game mechanisms/planning. For example, AI can create stronger opponents with more variety, allowing for unpredictable game environments, thereby giving players a more diverse and more challenging gaming experience. <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/Dj1yeG0e.jpg"> Breaking the Boundaries of Cross-Platform Games&nbsp;Cross-platform games are games that enable players to play the game together across different platforms, which include: game consoles, personal computers, or mobile devices. Since such technology is nearly perfected, this means that despite players having different equipment, they are no longer bound by its hardware limitations, which in turn allows for the expansion of friend circles and assist in building stronger interpersonal relationships.Under the strong promotion of games such as “Fortnite” and “Minecraft,” the cross-platforming functionality is expected to be applied to even more games in the future.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Conclusion&nbsp;Online gaming has always been a fast-developing and ever-changing field of entertainment. In fact, its technological growth and innovation continues to shatter our existing knowledge boundaries. With the emergence of eSports, virtual reality, mobile games, and cloud gaming, the future of this industry is full of stimulating development prospects. Along with the perfection of artificial intelligence, expansion of the social games, and the continued trend of in-game purchases as well as discussions of microtransactions, online games will surely create a new wave of revolutionary innovations. Let’s sit back and enjoy the ride!

Global Market Insights Inc. has recently released a report on the online gambling market which forecasts continued growth of the online gaming market value. The total market value is projected to exceed US$ 160 billion in 2026. This report attributes this growth pattern to the rapid spread of smartphones, improvements in Internet infrastructure, the emergence of accessible casino game platforms, and sustained progress in the field of VR, IoT, Cryptocurrency, and blockchain technologies.&nbsp; Cryptocurrency is gaining favor among gamers. For instance, a report released by Cointelegraph points out that “the user statistics of Bling, a US-based crypto gaming company, are up almost 50% over the month of March. The platform is reaching 70,000 users per day, and over 400,000 active users per month.” Blockchain technology ensures safe and transparent transactions and is characterized by higher internal odds (around 1.5%-2%) than traditional gambling sites. Bitcoin SV ($BSV), in particular, is enjoying rising popularity. An increasing number of industry operation platforms choose to base their operations on BSV blockchain due to its outstanding back-end security token functions, powerful authentication protocols as well as excellent transparency and cost &amp; operation efficiency.

How did these companies create such market miracle of online gaming? This article will discuss on some innovative technologies with you.&nbsp;Analyzing Live Entertainment’s Network Framework that Cannot be OverlookedWhen it comes to live entertainment platforms, we shall be looking at the systematic composition of the platforms’ network framework first. Servers are undoubtfully the keys to the system’s basis. The system must possess sufficient capability and security to guarantee the smooth operation of all real-time data and transactions.&nbsp;Another important element would be client-end applications, which can ensure the smooth connection to the servers and let players have effective interactions. Such applications shall be expandable and can receive a large amount of player information when need. At the same time, they must also ensure the safety of all data so that players can connect to the servers without worries.&nbsp;In addition, there are many other elements that the framework requires, such as routers, firewall, network load balancer, and so on. All these kinds of network equipment are all inseparable parts of the framework.&nbsp;The Advanced Safety Measures Taken by the Live Entertainment CompaniesThe issue of data security has always been the top topic of all live entertainment companies. With the recent advancements of technologies, companies also adopt many advanced measures to ensure client data safety. One of the necessary measures is the encryption technology of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). When data are transferred between players’ computers and the servers, the SSL will encrypt the data. This can prevent hackers from intercepting players’ sensitive information like credit card accounts or passwords.&nbsp;It is also worth mentioning that many live entertainment companies would ask clients to provide extra information authentication before visiting specific websites, including effective identity authentication; they might also ask clients to answer the security confirmation questions proposed by the real-time online system. Furthermore, most platforms have implemented complicated fraud prevention or detection system that allows them to surveil any suspicious activity and send alerts to the staff in case of abnormal situations.&nbsp;Investigating Different AI Used by the PlatformsAI is used more and more in online entertainments in order to improve players’ gameplay experience and operation, enhance security, and prevent frauds. AI can also determine how the games are played, predict game results, and propose personalized promotion events that match players’ preferences based on algorithm. AI can understand players’ wordings and response with proper answers through natural language processing (NLP) as well. In general, it is gradually changing how online entertainments work while offering a more immersive and safer environment for the players.

This bears witness to the sustained growth of mobile online services. Most international entertainment brands provide their own mobile online entertainment services to satisfy the demand of players to engage in games anywhere. This also represents a mainstream trend in the entertainment industry. E-wallets&nbsp;The most vexing issue for players is the lack of safe payment and transaction methods. The provision of personal financial information poses a significant privacy and security risk for players. E-wallet systems provided by Skrill, NETeller, PayPal, Click2Pay, and ecoPayz fill this void. These digital wallets are convenient, cheap, safe, and quick to use. They also create a channel for mutual tracking and information exchange between players and the operating platform, guaranteeing an optimized user experience.

CQ9 Gaming and Gamblorium: new collaboration alert

<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/SzNnKGcX.jpg">Compared to many other countries, the gambling laws in Japan are extremely strict, which also applies to online casino. For the most part, such gaming activities in Japan are prohibited. Those who participate in gambling will be fined with the maximum fine of 500,000 Yen (approximately $3,800 USD). On the other hand, any gaming business entity that makes a profit off of operating gaming facilities may be imprisoned for 5 months or more.&nbsp;For the past ten years, groups interested in gaming have worked tirelessly to amend the current laws, which have been ridiculously obsolete and not in tune with the times. For example, in 2018, the Japanese government passed a law permitting the construction of a large integrated resort casino which may include hotels, shopping malls, and other entertainment facilities.&nbsp;The government hopes that the new law will not only promote the tourism industry, but in turn will also stimulate the economic growth of Japan. Currently, the government plans to grant 3 permits (at most) in the initial phase of construction, with many casino business entities around the world already showing great interest in making an investment.&nbsp;&nbsp;Obstacles on the Road of Development&nbsp;During the process of constructing an integrated resort casino, there are a plethora of obstacles. For example, the locals and the legislators, in consideration of the chain reactions that may occur to the society and the economy, are both being relatively conservative on this matter. As a result, these arguments have cast a shadow over the promotion of the ambitious gambling investment project.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the other hand, the control of pachinko prize exchange centers is also an issue that must be discussed. The Japanese public has always loved pachinko. Although pachinko is not categorized as gambling in nature, its cash and prize exchanges has brought the issue of gambling addiction to the forefront, further highlighting the necessity to strengthen the supervision on prize exchange centers.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In summary, casinos in Japan are still in the midst of a change, with many factors affecting the growth and development of the gaming industry in the next few years.&nbsp;Growth of Online Gambling in Japan&nbsp;Despite these restrictions, the industry of online casinos in Japan still had a substantial growth. For example, a comparison of the total number of registered online players between 2019 and 2020 indicated a tripling of growth rate within just a year. In addition, the profits made by the business entities also demonstrated a trend of rapid growth.&nbsp;A success like this is partially attributed to some enticing factors, such as cash rewards and other promotional offers, as well as the addition of more withdraw/payment methods. In recent years, some sites that have popped up that are tailor-made to offer Japanese players the best online casino trading tips.&nbsp;Such growth is also credited to a much friendlier update of the current laws as well as the new supervisory manual promulgated in 2019, which contain a section clearly addressing how business entities should expand its business.&nbsp;One thing worthy of note is that Japan is not the only country with a continuously growing online entertainment industry. Other countries, such as Australia, Canada, and the U.K. have all shown significant growth in recent years. However, when comparing these markets to the Japanese market, the growth rate of the Japanese market is still much faster than the rest.&nbsp;Even though the online entertainment industry is still illegal in Japan, there are still some quite interesting features during the process of its development, which includes:&nbsp;1. Potential Economic Benefits:&nbsp;Give it a thought, how does game of chance change the Japanese economy? The government is very carefully considering the added bonus of prime tax and employment opportunities that is of much attention in terms of legalizing online casinos. Even though the road of online gaming is plagued with all sorts of social risks, the lure of high economic growth is too attractive for the Japanese government to miss out on. Will they succumb to the pressure of potential traps and give up, or will they ignore the risk and continue with promoting the market?&nbsp;Only time will tell.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Advancement of Technology:&nbsp;Through mobile gaming and livestream technology, the new ground that the online entertainment industry of Japan will be able to break is something that all relevant industries around the world are closely anticipating. As a result of the advancements in technology, the entry threshold has been lowered. We are keeping a close eye on how Japan will embrace this exciting revolutionary times, waiting for booming online gaming industry of Japan to shine.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Popularity of Esports:&nbsp;With the development of Esports in Japan, it can indirectly become the pioneer for the future prospect of the online gaming field. This industry, with its booming development, may someday facilitate the integration of the virtual and physical gaming fields, guiding the gaming industry to grow into an extremely unique and immersive online casino extravaganza.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Market Scale of Japan’s Online Gambling IndustryOnline gaming has always been a bit of a mysterious industry in Japan. Strictly speaking, online gaming is actually illegal in Japan at this moment, which means that until the deadline, there are still no relevant official data on its actual market scale. However, the lack of data still cannot cover up the fact that such industry has immense potential and prosperity in Japan! In fact, the online gaming market has reached an astonishing 66.7 billion USD worldwide in 2020, with the growth/profits attained from the Asian markets close to the very top.&nbsp;Japan most definitely has the potential to become the trailblazer in online gaming among other countries around the world. In fact, the Japanese government may even be advocating for the legalization of the gaming-related industry very soon. Considering the average income of the Japanese public as well as its rein of being the most popular travel destination across the globe, if the Japanese government can effectively manage the pros and cons of the gaming industry, then the demand for gaming services within the borders of Japan will likely have an even bigger surge.&nbsp;&nbsp;On the other hand, Japan has always been a country that heavily devotes its resources into advancing its technology. Therefore, Japan may very well become the next hotspot for online gaming business entities, with its online casinos possessing the most advanced, state-of-the art gaming platforms.&nbsp;Although the online entertainment industry of Japan is shrouded with uncertainty, the if the legalization of gambling goes smoothly as well as being under proper supervision, it may very well become an important force that cannot be ignored on the global market.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to its enormous potential for growth, many people eagerly hopes to see the legalization of gambling becoming closer to reality, as Japan will then become a key country for the development.

Analysts at Technavio recently released a forecast report which has indicated that the online gambling market could be worth $305.5 billion annually by 2027.&nbsp;According to the report, the online gambling industry was estimated to be worth US$155.51 billion in 2017. By 2027, the industry could increase by as much as $150.5 billion, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.03%, reaching a market value of $305.5 billion.&nbsp;The analysts noted in their report that:The growing demand for mobile gaming is notably driving the market growth.Smartphone penetration is increasing due to the declining average selling price (ASP) of the devices. Smartphones provide a convenient and intuitive interface to play casino games, which is resulting in users migrating from desktops to mobiles to play.&nbsp;The report has also pointed out that the increased use of smartphones, complemented by more convenient payment methods, has made mobile gambling apps increasingly popular among the public. The report has predicted that smartphones will dominate the industry in the coming years.&nbsp;Safety and Security ChallengesThe analysts also stated that the industry as a whole is facing some major challenges, including “elevated data security issues” and “security and credibility issues for online gambling platforms”.&nbsp;Online gambling websites have become prime targets for hackers and scammers in recent years. They obtain players' private information from various gambling sites, such as bank transaction information and credit card numbers, which are particularly vulnerable to hacking attacks.Some online casinos operating overseas that do not have the latest network security technology in place will be much more susceptible to hacking attacks.Issues like these are predicted to be the major stumbling blocks to global market growth in the near future. In addition, the report suggested that the “lack of fair and responsible gambling practices” may also further hinder market growth.&nbsp;Asia Pacific will be the driver of market growthAccording to Technavio's report, the Asia-Pacific region (APAC) is likely to be the main driver of market growth over the next four years. The report has included markets such as Japan, Korea, India, Australia and New Zealand, which could account for 39% of all growth in the online gambling market.&nbsp;North America is another region that has the potential to contribute towards market growth thanks to the increasing legalization of sports betting in the United States as well as the launch of more iGaming markets in both the US and Canada.

CQ9 Gaming and CasinoHEX Sweden have teamed up in a new partnership

Turbulence in Asia In contrast to booming European and American markets, Asian markets have entered a period of the worst turmoil this year. This can mainly be attributed to the determination of the Chinese government to crack down on illegal financial activities, which has disrupted numerous cash flow channels that Chinese gamers rely on and changed the whole outlook of the gaming industry in Macao. The decision of the Philippine government to levy taxes on online gaming has polarized observers. Some people believe that the Philippines will rely even more strongly on online gaming and will offer greater support to the industry in the future. Others argue that gaming will no longer be viewed as the main solution to the domestic economic crisis but rather as the main culprit of illegal recruitment and kidnapping activities. The current market disturbances in the Philippines, a hotspot of the Asian gaming industry, indicate that major upheavals are imminent in this market. In the following passages, we will discuss major events that occurred this quarter and offer our views on future trends and developments. <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/njC3oTVU.jpg"> New hurdles – China bans cryptocurrency transactions After issuing a national-level call in late May to crack down on bitcoin mining and transactions, the People’s Bank of China shut the door on cryptocurrency transactions by declaring that “all virtual currency transactions are illegal financial activities.” Violators face criminal prosecution. <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/sC5F4mqQ.jpg"> Upheaval in the land-based casino industry – former glory gone forever?! Due to the fact that the licenses of six casinos in Macao will expire in June 2022, the Macao Government has initiated a 45-day “public consultation” process for the industry. The government has pointed out that it will rely on government representatives to promote non-gaming items. In view of the tightening controls on various industries imposed by the Chinese government in recent years, there is a general concern that the gambling industry in Macao will bear the brunt of the authorities’ crackdown on illegal financial activities associated with gambling. <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/MG5lMgaj.jpg"> Lingering impact of the pandemic - tax revenues derived from land-based casinos dropped by 82% in 2020 Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, land-based casinos in Korea faced various restrictions and temporary closures between 2020 and 2021. Since the country was affected by a severe outbreak at the beginning of the year, cash revenues of the Korean gambling industry dropped by 64.5% YoY. The number of visitors plummeted by 71.3% in the same period. <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/NmuB5O3H.jpg"> New policy - Taxation of online gaming companies to aid the healthcare sector in the Philippines In September, Rodrigo Duterte, incumbent president of the Philippines, signed the new online gaming tax act, which imposes a 5% tax on the gross gaming revenue of online gaming operators (POGO). Incomes of 600,000 Pesos (11,900 USD) or above earned by POGO employees are subject to a 25% withholding tax. Pursuant to the new law, 60% of the total tax revenue derived from POGOs will be utilized to enforce the “Universal Health Care Bill.” <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/M00anB0H.jpg"> Vietnam – an Asian market with sustained growth A five-year market survey report released this quarter indicates that the average revenue of the Vietnamese gaming industry in this five-year period amounted to US$ 3 billion. In 2020, time spent gaming online by gamers increased by over 50%, while the online gaming participation rate rose by over 20%. Expenditures of online gaming users soared by a whopping 575%. These figures bear witness to the ongoing substantial growth pattern of the Vietnamese online gaming market. &nbsp;Views and insights of CQ9 Recent turbulence in the Asian gaming market have indeed resulted in a gloomier outlook for the industry. Therefore, we have adopted a more conservative stance with a strong emphasis on steady business operations in the Southeast Asian region. However, we also believe that large-scale industry transformations merely signal a transition period. Clearly defined policies and implementation guidelines adopted by national governments provide a valuable reference for problem-solution approaches of the industry.The rise of diversified applications in the field of blockchain and non-fungible tokens (NFT) in recent years has revolutionized our concepts of money, value, and price. Virtual currencies only represent the tip of the iceberg of these developments. Even if “virtual currencies” disappear, they will be replaced by an even greater number of “transaction-based” crypto payment solutions. This process is already in progress.&nbsp;Negative impacts generated by speculative behavior, excessive optimism, and unrealistic concepts are undeniable, but, in stark contrast to the dot-com bubble in 2000, governments all over the world are currently engaged in the active development of centralized blockchain applications. This signals a rising acceptance and willingness to accommodate this technology. The conservative and uncompromising attitude toward the gaming sector currently exhibited by different nations will undoubtedly accelerate updates and iterations by the industry in the context of these trends. We all must prepare ourselves for the advent of a new era in the field of gaming.

Kabaddi is one of the few sports disciplines that has withstood the trials of time, especially in India, where the sport originated. Even today, the sport enjoys rising popularity mainly due to the emergence of the Pro Kabaddi League (below referred to as “PKL”). Online betting for Kabaddi has turned into a highly popular pastime and a fierce contest among gamers and sports fans. Have you ever played “Hawk and Chicken”?National Geographic Channel refers to Kabaddi, which is a more intense version of “Hawk and Chicken” as an “Ancient Indian Sport.” This challenging sports discipline requires excellent agility, leg muscle endurance, and explosive power. Players must be able to withstand collisions comparable to American Football. They also need advanced kickboxing skills such as dashing, blocking, holding, and tackling.&nbsp; <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/9qLZyvuN.jpg"> Kabaddi originated in the northern part of the country 4,000 years ago. Initially, its popularity was limited to the Punjab region. Later on, it caught on in all regions of the country and even in neighboring countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Iran. Due to its simple rules and the fact that it doesn’t require any props or other expenses, it is immensely popular in South Asia's poor farming villages. <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/0BwS041A.jpg"> Kabaddi wouldn’t be the same without PKLPKL, the professional-level Kabaddi league in India, was launched in 2014 and is currently broadcast and promoted on the Star Sports Channel in India. Initially, a large number of people were highly skeptical about this sports league since it seemed a bit too unorthodox. However, statistics released at the end of the first PKL season revealed that 435 million viewers had watched the whole tournament, while 86.4 million alone had stayed glued to the final broadcast live on TV. After this impressive debut, no one had any doubts that PKL would turn into a great success. <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/OazX06Bo.jpg"> Marshal Sports, a co-owner of the league, has recently issued an ITT (Invitation to Tender) for an open market media rights auction for 5 seasons (Season 8 – Season 12) of Pro Kabaddi League. Packages include Virtual Reality Rights, Gaming Rights, and Mobile Activation Rights. This not only further intensifies interactions with sports fans but also creates new possibilities for the continued growth of Kabaddi through the gaming market.
