Trends for new casinos in Canada 2021-2022
The online casino industry is developing at a rapid speed and there is no doubt that this year will continue in the same way. As the market is growing, some new trends are coming as well, especially among new names in the online casino world. Of course, things like the current outbreak have also made a big impact on the overall situation, so it’s not that easy to predict what’s going to happen in the future. Still, we can notice new trends that will characterize the current year.
Market Will Continue to Grow
One of the most certain things about this year is that the online casino market will continue to grow. It’s not just about pandemics, the growth is caused by so many factors, including further development of mobile gaming technologies. Also, keep in many that many countries around the world have legalized or about to legalize online casinos this year.
As a result, we expect to see huge growth once again. The last year ended with more than 13% of growth, with a total market value of nearly $70 Billion. The year 2021 shouldn’t be any different.
Crypto Currencies are Becoming Mainstream
Another interesting trend for this year is that more and more casinos, especially new ones, are accepting Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. Not only that they have such a payment method in the offer, but also promote such a way of transactions with all kinds of benefits. Players who use cryptocurrencies are usually rewarded with additional bonuses. Finally, this payment method seems like a perfect way to resolve all the trust issues between players and operators. Although, looking a new casinos at Foxbonus – only a fraction offers payments with cryptocurrencies.
Much Bigger Share for Live Dealer Games
Live casino games aren’t a new thing but the last couple of years were really important due to the significant technological breakthrough. These days, such games offer the best playing experience among all online casino games. So, what we can expect to see in the following months is that the offer of live dealer games will become bigger and that such games will become way more popular. All that leads us to a bigger share in total revenue.
Virtual Reality Breakthrough
VR is still quite expensive technology and that’s the reason why we are still waiting for it to become mainstream. Still, we hope things will change in the near future. Once an average VR set becomes relatively affordable, the popularity of VR casino games will skyrocket. At this point, there are just a couple of VR casino games and there is no doubt that further development will bring the playing experience to the highest possible level.
Better Offers from Operators
The world of new online casinos is growing at a rapid speed and the competition is fiercer than ever. With such tough competition, operators are trying to attract new players with generous bonuses. So, we have no doubt that these kinds of rewards will become better. You may count on higher welcome bonuses, as well as on other benefits, such as no deposit bonuses, which allow playing without depositing any money.
Rapid Growth of Esports Betting
Esports games have become hugely popular and the current audience measures hundreds of millions. Among them, there are millions of players who like to put their bets on certain tournaments, competitions etc. The latest researches have shown that Esports are more popular than most traditional sports games and it’s only a matter of time when this competition will have an audience that’s comparable with football and other major sports. Therefore, it’s no wonder that pretty much every major bookmaker has included Esports in its offer.
Responsible Gambling Promotion
As we already mentioned, one of the biggest trends for 2021-2022 is the process of legalization and further legislation. One of the things we have noticed is that these acts are regulating not just the way operators can work and similar things, but also pay a lot of attention to problem gambling. We can see that fields like age restriction and advertising tools that help users limit their gambling activities or self-exclude themselves from playing altogether are all included in the legislation.
New Titles
While other industries are struggling during the outbreak, online casinos continue to develop at rapid speed. With the competition getting stronger, there is no doubt that a lot of new titles will arrive during 2021. This refers to all kinds of games, including slots, live dealer games, VR casinos etc.
