![](https://europeangaming.eu/portal/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/4-10.jpg)
As the year 2024 unfolds, significant expansion and growth are expected to take place in the online gambling industry.
The iGaming sector is set to be influenced by evolving regulations, technology innovations, and fresh market opportunities. Analysts are anticipating global revenues from internet gambling will reach $127 billion in 2024, representing impressive compound annual growth of 8% from 2022 revenue totals.
Are you looking forward to exploring more of what iGaming has to offer this 2024? Delve deeper into the details as we gather some of the key trends and developments to expect in the online gambling industry this year.
Mobile Gaming Expansion
As mobile devices secure more than 50% of the global iGaming industry, the online gaming sector continues to experience substantial growth. With smartphones establishing supremacy in online gambling this dominance is expected to carry on this 2024.
Operators are now working on a better adaptation by optimizing apps and sites designed for smaller screens with the following features:
- Responsive Design
- Scaled-Down Graphics
- User-Friendly Navigation
- Smooth Thumb Interactions
Users can also anticipate convenience in payment methods as sites integrate seamless one-touch payments and exclusive free bet promotions targeting mobile users. Not to mention the ongoing shift of iGaming towards mobile as the preferred gaming device to provide improved gameplay and graphics through the deployment of high-speed 5G networks.
Online Gambling on Virtual Reality
Virtual reality is poised to be a game-changer for online gambling in 2024 and beyond. Top casino site operators are already developing VR casino environments that immerse players in hyper-realistic digital worlds using next-generation graphics, 3D spatial audio, and haptic feedback for touch sensations.
As VR hardware improves and becomes mainstream on more platforms from mobile to consoles, these virtual experiences will enable multiplayer interactive gameplay at new levels. Players seated around a virtual poker table will see each other’s avatars and gestures as they banter and bet. Gamblers can reach out to pull 3D slot machine handles that vibrate on a winning spin. The technology promises to blur the lines between physical and online casinos.
Gambling with Cryptocurrency
The significant growth of cryptocurrency usage for deposits and withdrawals on gambling sites in 2022 is expected to experience further acceleration in 2024. This momentum will be fueled by increased integration of crypto payments by operators, featuring simplified wallet connections to streamline the process. The appeal lies in fast, secure transactions and circumventing credit card bans on gambling deposits, addressing challenges for both operators and players.
Increased Personalization
In 2024, operators are expected to leverage player data and AI to deliver exceptionally personalized experiences. Through analyzing individual preferences and behaviors, iGaming sites can offer relevant game suggestions, craft customized promotions and bonuses, and strategically target specific players with tailored offers at the most opportune moments.Top of Form
Loyalty programs will also become more personalized through tiered rewards, personalized communications, and VIP treatment. These personalized experiences enabled by player analytics and AI improve engagement, satisfaction, and brand loyalty.
In 2024, look for personalization to drive the next stage of innovation by giving each player a uniquely tailored journey optimized to their needs.
Expanded Use of Streaming
Live streaming will become integral to the iGaming experience in 2024. Operators will enable interactive live casino streams where players can chat in real time and celebrate wins together. Streaming slots sessions will also showcase gameplay and bonus features while building engagement.
With integrated streaming capabilities added to casino platforms, players can easily go live to share big wins, host tournaments, or interact with audiences. As streaming becomes a seamless part of the experience, it will facilitate community, transparency, and entertainment around games.
The expanded use of streaming aligns with mobile users’ interactive, connected ethos and will help drive the next evolution of iGaming.
