Reading Time: 6 minutes

 

When you are interested in playing online casino games, the first thing you should do is to find out where exactly these types of games can be played. When it comes to sports betting and casino games, the best place for fans to indulge in such activities is without a doubt online casinos. These sportsbook sites offer users lots of interesting things and they usually feature more than just one specific type of sport or game.

What differentiates an online casino from other types of sportsbook sites is that this platform manages to combine multiple forms of entertainment. If you want to play casino games along with betting on matches or matches alone, then it’s pretty easy because all of these options are available on such websites.

Play online betting

There are many things that make online betting perfect for sports fans. For example, some online casino sites offer in-play betting or live betting. This is extremely exciting for pundits that want to get involved with games as they happen rather than just predicting the outcome of a match before it starts. With live betting, people can put their skills to test by making wagers while an event is happening – placing bets on whether a player will score in football, predicting who will win the next round in boxing, etc., giving them more reasons to watch matches or events closely so they have all of the information needed when deciding on the outcome of an event.

With some sites offering odds of more than 4.0, it is far easier for savvy punters to be successful at sports betting. With so many different sportsbooks and markets that are available, players can use any sort of bet that suits their interests and risk level without having to be restricted by limited options. Some sites have even developed mobile applications allowing players to experience the thrills offered by this exciting activity no matter where they are or what time it is – this makes online betting perfect for both day-time gamblers as well as those who favor night-time games!

Watching live games while betting 

This is how many sports fans indulge in the excitement of their favorite games. With the expansion of online gaming, live bets are now possible even during events that are not broadcasted live – everything happens through mobile devices. This creates a whole new level for betting fans who want to bet on various sporting events.

It’s not just sports betting that can attract sports fans into online casino games. Many of these fans also share the competitive spirit of their favorite sports and teams. Thus, they would like to join in on the action if given the chance. Online casinos offer the same level of excitement as playing sports, with the added prospect of gaining money out of it. Also included here are tips for sports betting fans who want to try out their luck by playing casino games online.

Research Online Casino Games

The first step one should make before trying out any game is researching it well enough to know what skills or attributes can lead one to victory. Most games require players to have good reflexes and logical reasoning, which makes this category much more suitable for younger people. 

Games that require tactical ability are usually perfect for those aged 20 and above. Game varieties and features should also be part of your checklist, and this article from The Denver Post can give you useful insights on how to streamline your research. Online casino review sights are indispensable resources for those who want to start playing online casino games and for experienced players who want to broaden their horizons.

Practice

Once the player has researched the game, they need to spend some time practicing it. They should identify their strengths and weaknesses and then focus on honing their strengths while improving their weaknesses. If a player lacks self-esteem about playing online games, they should note that practice makes perfect and there is no harm in trying out multiple games until one finds what best suits them. Even professional sports players still play simple games such as chess during their free time so as to keep their minds sharp.

Set goals

One of the most important things to do before indulging in any activity is setting goals for oneself so as to stay motivated. For people who enjoy betting on live sporting events, they may want to set goals such as betting a specific amount on each game and winning a certain number of games. Those who enjoy playing casino games online may want to focus more on how long it takes them to complete the games and what score is needed for them to win the game. This will ensure that players stay interested in their favorite games.

Have fun

It cannot be stressed enough that people who engage in any activity should remember why they do what they love. If one finds themselves not having fun anymore when indulging in their favorite activities, then it might be time for some introspection before making changes. While setting goals is important for staying motivated, there’s no point if the player does not indulge in the activity because they want to but rather because of the goals they set for themselves.

Stay safe

It is important that players make sure they are in a safe position while indulging in any online game. To avoid compromising situations, it is advised that players only indulge in these games when they are at home or some other safe place where there is no chance of being caught by anyone else. This will ensure that the player’s gaming experience remains positive and without any distractions.

Players should also remember to use their discretion while choosing which online casino games to play as not all of them are suitable for everyone. 

Never spam friends with invites

While many people choose social media sites such as Facebook to advertise their favorite online casino games, this is not the only way to let people know about their interests. Players should refrain from spamming their friends and family members with incessant invitation requests as this will annoy many people and cause embarrassment. 

Learn about laws

Just like any other activity that involves transferring money or recruiting people for a business opportunity, players need to be aware of how the law works when dealing with online casino games. This means they need to learn how to protect themselves as well as everyone else who may be involved in such games (such as friends or family). While taking advice from those experienced in handling such matters is always recommended, one should never seek advice from those who are still engaging in these types of activities without learning about the laws first.

Stay up to date

One of the best things that players can do when they are interested in any type of game is to stay up to date about what’s trending or new online games that may be available for them to indulge in. This will ensure that players engage only in activities they like and avoid wasting their time with games that no longer interest them. 

Remember the key details

Players should make sure they remember all the key details about their favorite online casino games so as to stay motivated when indulging in them. Without doing this, people will find themselves either spending time on other activities out of boredom (leading to potential loss of money by playing at unregulated sites) or never engaging in their favorite online casino games again.

Find a safe place to bet

While it’s fun to bet when watching live games with friends and family, this is not always safe or practical when players want to entertain themselves alone. The best way for people who enjoy sports betting is to make sure that there are no distractions while indulging in their favorite activity so as to improve the chances of winning. For those who prefer playing online casino games, making sure they have everything they need on hand before engaging in their favorite activity will also help them win more often.

Never deviate from what you like

It does not matter what type of people engage in these activities because eventually everyone gets tired of doing things they do not enjoy. People should never leave their favorite online casino game or sports betting activity unless they are absolutely sure that they will not return to it again.

Think about the consequences

Engaging in any gambling-related activities can have consequences for those who are either irresponsible with their money, irresponsible regarding the law, or irresponsible about how others may feel when watching them indulge in these types of activities. People should always consider all possible consequences before indulging themselves in any type of gambling because this will help them stay safe and protect everyone else involved as well. 

Stay away from unregulated websites

It’s fine if players want to watch live games with friends and have a viewing party, but this should never include visiting unregulated websites that offer awful odds or asking immoral members of their network to introduce them to other individuals who are also part of the same circle.

Sort out bad habits when they occur

Players need to take action immediately when they notice any bad habits that may be associated with sports betting or online casino games. For instance, those who feel like they’re becoming too obsessed whenever thinking about anything related to their favorite activity should consider taking help (such as therapy sessions). Those who cannot control themselves regarding spending too much money on their favorite activities should also take action immediately so they can protect themselves.

As you can see, playing at an online casino is a great way for fans of sports to take their love for sports to the next level. From the ease of creating an account to enjoying betting while games are underway, sports fans can experience all of the thrills offered by this exciting activity.

Tom Galanis: giving a First Look at the Top of the Slots

Tom Galanis: giving a First Look at the Top of the Slots
Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

Gone are the days when we would spend a Thursday evening waiting for Top of the Pops to come on our televisions so that we could see who would be performing that week. The music show may no longer be running, but First Look Games has taken inspiration from the long-running staple and added a slot spin, to create Top of the Slots.

To give us more insight, First Look Games Founder Tom Galanis walks us through the ideation process behind Top of the Slots and how this is helping to give an accurate representation of the top-performing slot titles each month.

 

You launched Top of the Slots by First Look Games a couple of weeks ago. For those that may have missed the launch, what does this involve?

Tom Galanis: Top of the Slots is a showcase for the top 10 games launched by game studios via the First Look Games platform over the previous 90 days. It’s a never-before-seen take on game popularity and one our game studio partners, and affiliate users are already loving!

 

What was the thought process behind launching Top of the Slots?

Tom Galanis: First Look Games captures unique data for our game studio partners and Top of the Slots is designed to illustrate the most successful games, benchmarked by this unique data insight, to the industry.

 

What do game providers have to do to make it into the top ten releases for the month? What metrics do you use to evaluate success?

Tom Galanis: In order to make it in to the top 10, game studios need to release titles via our platform that successfully resonate with the 850+ affiliates that utilise First Look Games, making full use of the suite of tools we offer on and outside of the platform to engage affiliate marketers in the promotion of their game. The rankings are based on the First Look Games Index for all games launched to the market in the preceding 90 days, which combines:

  1. a) Downloads – which is the aggregated total of download sessions amongst affiliates on the platform. Affiliates download assets including logos, game sheets, video files, screenshots, banners and game artwork;
  2. b) Hits – this is the aggregated total number of game reviews for the game, created by affiliates using the First Look Games platform;
  3. c) Reach – this is the aggregated unique visitor count of the websites containing the Hits;
  4. d) Demo Game Sessions – this is the number of free to play demo game sessions that have taken place from iFrames placed on Hits.
  5. e) Sentiment Score – this is the average sentiment score from Hits

The games that rank well in this index are obviously commercially successful in their own right but are also being reviewed by affiliates because of the engagement of the game studio with the First Look Games platform, and consequently, with affiliates.

Our most active game studios are not just releasing great games with frequency but are also ensuring their game and studio news is distributed across the First Look Games platform and social channels and that a full and diverse range of marketing assets and game information is being provided through the platform prior to a game’s release. This best equips affiliates to understand the features of a game so that they can successfully convey this to their player audience, which, collectively amongst FLG affiliates, is very significant, totalling more than 20 million slots players worldwide.

 

Tell us a bit more about the First Look Games sentiment analysis – how is this helping to remove the biases from the ranking process? What data do you use to inform this analysis?

Tom Galanis: Once our technology has identified a new game review, First Look Games uses Natural Language Processing to ‘read’ the review and assess what the affiliate makes of the game. We share a short snapshot of this with the game studio and assign a score to the review based on how positive the affiliate has been in their review of the game. The more positive the language used in the review, the higher the score.

Sentiment scores are then aggregated across all reviews of the game to give a score for the game, and across all games to give the studio a score to benchmark against peers. Using AI, we are able to objectify the subjective to provide true 360 analysis on how affiliates are promoting a game.

 

What can we expect to see from First Look Games for the remainder of this year?

Tom Galanis: We have a perpetual roadmap of both new studio launches and technical advancements of the platform for affiliates and game studios to look forward to!

Gibraltar Gambling Commission Attends International Olympic Committee and UEFA Workshop

A representative from the Gibraltar Gambling Division, who specialises in sports integrity matters, has attended a high- level workshop hosted jointly by the International Olympic Committee and UEFA at Olympic House in Lausanne Switzerland. The cost of the trip was funded by the international sports governing bodies.

With both the Olympics and the Euros being held later this year, the meeting was an opportunity for all stakeholders, including gambling regulators in a number of jurisdictions (including Gibraltar) to discuss a coordinated strategy to identify suspicious betting activity and to prevent match (competition) fixing on a proactive basis.

In 22/23, the Gambling Division received 42 betting integrity reports from gambling operators, 13 requests for assistance from the Olympic movement Unit of the Prevention of Manipulation of Sports competitions and was involved with a large number of disseminations to domestic and international sports governing bodies (including FIFA and UEFA); as well as engagement with law enforcement authorities.

Last month, the GFA hosted a UEFA Seminar on match fixing in Gibraltar which was also attended by representatives from the Gambling Division.

Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner Andrew Lyman said: “Sports integrity work and liaising with stakeholders on match fixing is an important, but often unseen part of our work. Operators are obliged to report suspicious activity in this area and the Gambling Division applies its expertise to enhance intelligence and support the lawful flow of information to the appropriate authorities, including sports governing bodies, for further investigation.

“The manipulation of sports competition by spot fixing or match fixing undermines the very essence of fair and unpredictable sporting outcomes. The forthcoming Gambling Bill will introduce a criminal offence of cheating at gambling which will serve to further deter such activity.”
