Are VIPs getting younger? Let's see what surveys show. Traditionally, VIP players are seen as more engaged with classic casino offerings like live casino games or poker. However, recent data suggests a change might be on the horizon: According to an Abios survey, 20% of the eSports audience comprises Generation X (ages 42–56). While this may not seem like a dominant segment, it is significant regarding this age group. Moreover, Esport Insider reports that the average age of esports fans is 33 years old, slightly younger than the average gamer's age of 41. Interestingly, this average age increases by 0.7 years annually. We also need to keep in mind that audiences younger than 33 are more inclined towards new digital experiences. Nevertheless, we could soon see a rise in VIPs interested in emerging content types such as esports and instant games. Are you preparing your business for this? #turbostars #turboplatform #turbogames #turbosportsbook #igamingsolutions #instantgames
