If you want to raise profits in the Spanish online gambling market, Here's the information you cannot miss: The market saw an 11.2% increase in GGR in the first quarter of 2024, reaching €350.7 million. Betting, especially pre-match betting, is a major growth area. Casino segments, like slots and live roulette, are also performing well. The most interesting statistics are a 15.2% rise in new accounts and higher player engagement. I'd say it's a sign to add more popular content, like instant games and live events, to casinos. Focus on these high-growth areas. Have you noticed any positive surges in other markets? #turbostars #turboplatform #turbogames #turbosportsbook #igamingsolutions #instantgames

Latest updates from the iGaming playground: Ignore this and face paying over US$8k daily. We're seeing increased restrictions in the LatAm market. Brazil's Ministry of Justice and Public Security has issued an order banning gambling bonus promotions. Any form of bonus-related advertising is now prohibited, alongside casino promotions or fixed-odds online gambling ads targeting children and adolescents. Operators can face a hefty fine of R$50,000 (US$8,665.66) per day. Is this a reaction to market legalization, or part of a broader political agenda? #turbostars #turboplatform #turbogames #turbosportsbook #igamingsolutions #instantgames

iGaming Industry Developments and Compliance: As someone leading the compliance at one of the world's biggest iGaming casinos, I’ve witnessed firsthand the dynamic shifts in legal and regulatory landscapes globally. The online gambling market is projected to reach an impressive $132 billion by 2027, highlighting the remarkable growth of our industry.💫 This expansion reflects the increasingly global nature of iGaming, driven by factors like smartphone usage, broader internet access, and innovative games and technologies. Interestingly, compliance and regulation, often seen as barriers, are actually paving the way for iGaming to enter markets that have traditionally resisted it. Operators in the iGaming sector now offer a variety of deposit and withdrawal options. Players can easily choose from debit and credit cards, eWallets, and even decentralised currencies. Cryptocurrency transactions are gaining popularity thanks to their transparency, security, and speed. Today’s iGaming platforms prioritise security more than ever. Reputable operators implement robust measures, including SSL certification to authenticate websites and thorough know-your-customer (KYC) processes to verify users’ identities. These practices are vital in building public trust and fostering a safer gaming environment. 💫 Operators are increasingly seeking clear and effective legislation that meets international standards. I am collaborating with various regulators worldwide to highlight the importance of developing more productive and prescriptive regulations. Our goal is to foster a safe gaming environment while eliminating unnecessary bad actors from the industry. By working together, we can ensure a healthier, more responsible landscape for all stakeholders involved. 💥

Is the US going to fully legalize iGaming? The black market seems to have a strong opinion about it. 860 illegal sports betting and casino operators target New York, New Jersey, and Minnesota, with 638 affiliates promoting their services. The pressure is quite visible. Legal operators still dominate, having 62% of the market, but the federal government closely monitors the situation. Should we expect major changes in US regulations? #turbostars #turboplatform #turbogames #turbosportsbook #igamingsolutions #instantgames

I went to the horse riding lesson today. 🏇 Here's what it taught me about iGaming: Dealing with the iGaming market as a young operator is akin to learning how to ride a horse: Newbies struggle to develop their balance, confidence, and control. Fresh adepts also require adapting to unexpected movements, and they gradually build skills through experience. P.S. Not everything has to be a perfect analogy. I was mainly focused on riding, not comparing it to my daily work! 😂 Do you have hobbies that fit these analogies? #turbostars #turboplatform #turbogames #turbosportsbook #igamingsolutions #instantgames

I don't believe motivation plays a crucial role in any success. iGaming business is no different. Most activities, including our industry, require discipline more than motivation. To see any results, new operators have to: ✔️ come up with a business plan, ✔️ invest time, energy, and money, ✔️ test product theories and marketing strategies, ✔️ expand their game and content portfolio, ✔️ ensure the platform maintains optimal performance. Only after long months or years of continuous effort will the results start to show. Just like going to the gym, it takes tremendous discipline to grow muscle. P.S. While I'm trying to awaken muscles in the gym, my colleagues are exercising soft skills at IGB Live. Come by the Turbo Stars stand 12-A30. #turbostars #turboplatform #turbogames #turbosportsbook #igamingsolutions #instantgames

The best team in the business. Top 5 on this list is an immense achievement under any circumstance. Then consider it occurred well under 3 years from launch, and that White Hat Studios is ahead of multiple competitors all with billion $ market caps and equivalently larger teams/resources...that is truly unprecedented. Well done. #whitehatstudios #eilersandkrejcik #usonlinegaming #igaming #igamingsuppliers

Managing Payment Risks: The Key to Success for Operators in iGaming Operators in the iGaming industry face numerous challenges, but payment system issues are always a top concern. Why is it crucial to build strong relationships with payment partners, and what should you do when payments get blocked? One of the main problems is that payment systems and acquirers often impose strict requirements on traffic quality. Errors in handling primary and secondary traffic can lead to blockages and significant financial losses. As a result, operators lose access to payment gateways, causing client funds to be frozen. Another critical aspect is managing reputational risks. Any disruption with acquirers, whether it's a lost gateway or difficult negotiations, impacts not only the financial side of the business but also player trust. Effective work with payment systems must include regular traffic audits, transaction monitoring, and proactive negotiations with partners. So, what do you do when negotiations with a payment provider hit a deadlock? It’s essential to remain professional and focus on finding solutions rather than assigning blame. Businesses thrive where people are willing to negotiate and take responsibility. We’re seeing that effective payment risk management is becoming a key factor for success in iGaming. Companies that are open to dialogue and quick to resolve issues are always a step ahead of the competition. We’d be happy to hear from colleagues about their experiences in addressing these challenges. #iGaming #PaymentSolutions #RiskManagement #Fintech #BusinessGrowth #CEO #HDR #ReputationManagement
