由于西欧大部分地区的iGaming业仍处于分散状态，而美国也才刚刚开始以州为单位批准iGaming，因此许多运营商和网络博彩软件开发商认为南非非常欢迎国际iGaming品牌，同时也非常欢迎当地组织的发展。 

事实上，如果我们看一下规章制度，似乎非洲在处理洗钱等问题以及赌博与犯罪之间通常存在的其他严重联系方面的意识可能比其他大多数大洲更强。 

有利的环境  

南非成为许多 iGaming 公司关注的焦点有很多原因。其中一个原因当然是南非近三分之二的人口年龄在 24 岁及以下，而这正是主要的目标人群。 

这为寻求开店的 iGaming 公司带来了立竿见影的优势。智能手机使用率的增长速度甚至快于互联网连接的采用速度，这有助于该行业获得更好的覆盖面，并向更多的年轻受众提供多样化的手机游戏。 

行业报告显示，非洲和中东的移动游戏增长最快。这两个大洲的游戏需求同比增长了 26.6%。但 iGaming 运营商必须牢记，非洲的智能手机技术应用在一定程度上仍落后于西方国家。因此，运营商和 iGaming 软件开发商需要做好准备，迎接为老式设备量身定制最先进移动游戏的挑战。 

移动游戏处于中心位置  

iGaming 运营商和软件提供商将目光转向南非的另一个原因是，南非的经济实力不断增强，而且监管机构有能力控制该行业。非洲试图通过采用全球最佳实践来正面应对 iGaming 管辖权，并将其用于非洲消费者。 

非洲国家对博彩业有着极大的热情。一些主要的博彩目的地包括南非、肯尼亚和尼日利亚。但莱索托也有其他项目，包括改造陆上赌场。 

收入增加  

另一个重要因素是不断增长的收入数字。早在 2015 年，普华永道南非经理就在年度博彩业展望报告中指出，预计 2019 年的收入将大幅上升至 300 亿兰特（21.7 亿美元）。随后几年的报告指出，预测数字上升到了更高的 340 亿兰特，这表明博彩业的增长速度超过了预期。但最新一期的《博彩业展望》仍未公开发布，也没有迹象表明是哪些因素导致了博彩业的快速增长。 

2018年11月，Gauteng Gambling Board发布了另一份报告-《最新赌博统计》，其中有一项指标非常突出。注册路线运营商的 LPM（赌博机）数量从 2017 年 4 月的 1394 台上升至 2266 台。如果南非各省都经历了类似的趋势，那么市场上引入的新场地和新机器可能就是为什么对 2019 年的预测在 2017 年多增加了 10 亿兰特的原因。 

最后 

尽管非洲大陆的经济增长缓慢，但非洲的博彩收入仍在持续增长。对于任何服务提供商、博彩软件开发商或运营商来说，进入这一市场无疑是一个明智的决定。但他们需要牢记的是，体育博彩在南非也非常流行，板球和足球是最受欢迎的体育项目。 

然而，南非是一个复杂的市场，需要大量的研究、信息、规划和网络，才能实现飞跃。但是，只要运营商、软件提供商和体育博彩公司做好必要的基础工作，就能在未来几年获得丰厚的回报。 

客户关系营销 (CRM) 是当今一项重要的商业实践。随着竞争的加剧、客户群和市场的扩大，在线博彩运营商获取更多的客户信息以保持（甚至可能扩大）其市场份额并建立客户终身价值变得越来越重要。博彩业一直倡导客户关系管理–事实上，赌场多年来一直在跟踪客户。但有了CRM，他们可以将客户关系提升到一个全新的水平。 

CRM在iGaming业的重要性  

娱乐场一直站在最前沿，意识到真正详细的客户信息的巨大价值，并将这些信息用于管理其客户关系。几年来，几乎每个娱乐场的信息系统都已经包含了玩家统计数据，如平均娱乐场、游戏持续时间和输赢—现在使用CRM软件可以进一步集中数据收集和分析工作。 

通常，CRM系统旨在通过多个渠道和联系点收集客户信息，同时也有可能配备面向客户的员工，他们掌握客户个人偏好的详尽信息。 

CRM的主要目标是帮助公司： 

• 更好地了解他们的客户行为  
• 通过定制客户服务来建立更牢固的客户关系 
• 改进营销和参与工作   
• 更有效地获取和留住客户  
• 降低流失率  

• 更有效的交叉销售 
• 自动化重复性任务以加强营销工作 
• 提高营销工作和活动的可测量性 
• 完善受众细分，实现更集中的目标定位 
• 改进成本管理 

• 提高盈利能力。 

娱乐场多年来一直在使用CRM，从社会经济数据库、会员卡以及信用卡与其他文件的交叉匹配等来源中大规模地利用复杂的客户数据。事实上，与其他企业相比，娱乐场和博彩平台的做法并不新鲜，只是更加复杂而已。特别是考虑到技术必须在苛刻的条件下运行。娱乐场和博彩平台全天候运营，没有时间进行数据库更新或备份。在 iGaming 中，客户关系管理的使用是即时的-员工需要尽快获得客户数据–而客户正与他们在线上。 

成功实施CRM  

成功实施CRM后，游戏公司可以获得比竞争对手更多的优势。在使用CRM工具时，博彩公司可以采取分析方法来使用其信息。所有客户数据都存储在一个数据仓库中，营销经理可以访问该数据仓库，从而分析数据并利用预测模型。同时，客户服务代表也可以访问这些记录，以改善沟通，并以个性化的回复和优惠回答客户的询问。 

客户CRM系统的真正威力在于，该系统可以利用数据财富的真正潜力，将失败风险降到最低，这些数据以结构化的方式存储和整合，并能全面洞察玩家的偏好和需求。 

对业务绩效的影响 

实施CRM解决方案需要周密的计划和认真的执行。有一个经验丰富的团队提供支持，可以在CRM系统的建立和使用过程中提供帮助。 

不过，需要提醒的是，关注现有的可用资源对于成功的重要性远远超过在强大的 CRM 系统上花费的资金。如何利用收集到的信息，从实施CRM系统中获益，才是真正决定投资回报的关键。只要做好相应的计划，CRM系统就不会失败。 

对于线上博彩企业来说，充分认识到客户的长期价值至关重要。尽管技术发挥着关键作用，但重点应放在业务实践上。尽管CRM的实施需要高层的支持，但CRM的未来（和成功）掌握在每天使用它的员工手中，以确保客户得到真正的满足。CRM帮助游戏公司改变工作方式，使他们将工作重点从服务大众转向迎合单个客户。从而建立更牢固的关系，提高保留率和利润-这反过来又为成功铺平了道路。 

随着越来越多的国家修改法律，支持线上体育博彩，体育博彩公司开始失去其开拓未开发市场的传统优势。 

不难理解，现在比以往任何时候都更需要寻求技术优势来赢得竞争优势。随着技术进步及其在整个行业的应用越来越快，利用这些创新的公司将获得一切好处。 

科技进一步推动体育博彩业发展  

基于区块链的体育博彩以及 VR 技术等颠覆性技术的引入，只是我们期待在未来几年看到的行业广泛创新中的一小部分。当然，说到这些技术的合作，没有比Betting on Sports更适合讨论最新行业新闻和技术颠覆的地方了。

与陆上娱乐场相比，线上娱乐场有许多优势。首先，线上娱乐场没有空间限制，可以提供数百种游戏。这对玩家来说是件好事，除非他们需要选择一家娱乐场和一种游戏来玩。去陆上娱乐场时，您可以要求参观，也可以向其他玩家征求意见。但是，如何在线上做到这一点呢？  

选择正确娱乐场游戏的技巧  

在许多采用娱乐场游戏聚合器（Casino Games Aggregator）等广泛解决方案的线上娱乐场中，您可以通过查看娱乐场大厅来了解所提供的全部游戏。即便如此，您也会发现每种游戏都有其独特的优势。选择哪一种仍然是个人喜好的问题。 

在决定选择一款特定游戏之前，您需要考虑以下5点。  

#1 您打算玩多长时间？ 

线上娱乐场没有时间限制。您可以每天任何时间玩任何游戏。即使预算不多，您也可以尽情地玩。更棒的是，许多线上娱乐场都会为注册的玩家提供欢迎奖金，这样他们就可以在花自己的钱之前玩线上真钱游戏了。但如果您打算玩更长时间，请注意最低投注要求。并非所有游戏的最低投注要求都一样，因此您需要事先查看。 
视频老虎机、视频赌博游戏机、黑杰克或轮盘赌等游戏可以用较低的赌注玩很长时间。  

#2 您喜欢快速游戏吗？ 

不同的娱乐场游戏有不同的节奏。有些游戏，如传统的桌面游戏或纸牌游戏，需要一段时间。但线上赌场提供各种各样的游戏，包括快速游戏，如视频赌博游戏机或经典赌博游戏机。为了加快速度，您还可以选择大多数赌博游戏机游戏的 “自动玩 “选项，并在几轮游戏中投注相同的金额。 

如果您不确定游戏时间的长短，最好的办法之一就是玩一轮免费游戏。  

#3 您喜欢一个人玩还是与他人一起玩？ 

线上娱乐场非常适合想独自享受自己喜欢的游戏的玩家。有许多自动游戏，玩家不需要与任何人互动，甚至不需要与发牌员互动。当然，也有一些游戏提供加入 “房间 “或 “赌桌”，与真人发牌员和真实玩家一起玩，在舒适的家中享受扑克或黑杰克游戏的乐趣。  

#4 您想下高注还是低注？ 

如果您想玩得更久，预算有限，或者您根本不想测试自己的运气，那么低注就是一种很好的策略。喜欢在经典纸牌游戏中下低注的玩家被称为 “低赌客”。除了在纸牌游戏中进行低注，种类繁多的赌博游戏机游戏也使经典赌博游戏机和视频赌博游戏机成为热门选择。每个线上娱乐场都有这种游戏。在一些赌场，甚至可以用低至 1 美分的赌注进行游戏。 

如果您想寻求刺激，想花更多的钱，并想加入 “高额赌客 “俱乐部，黑杰克、扑克、百家乐或蓬托班库和轮盘等经典桌面游戏通常都有允许（额外）高额投注的赌桌。通常，这些都是贵宾赌桌。  

#5 您在寻找智力挑战吗？ 

赌博游戏机游戏是一种机会游戏，不需要任何技巧。另一方面，纸牌游戏并不完全依赖机会。有些纸牌游戏具有智力挑战性，留有学习和提高的空间。在这些游戏中，您可以真正实施游戏计划和制胜策略。黑杰克和扑克就是很好的例子。由于变化多端，您需要不断寻找调整策略的方法。玩得越多，知道的就越多。但在开始玩钱之前，最好还是多加练习。有许多免费娱乐场可以让您做到这一点-在没有风险的情况下获得更好的成绩。 

如果您正在寻找不同的智力挑战，您也可以寻找体育博彩的机会。体育博彩非常适合那些想要测试自己的知识、享受乐趣并赚钱的体育爱好者。 

享受乐趣和承担风险是娱乐场游戏的两大驱动力。而决定哪种赌场游戏最适合自己的最佳方法就是玩不同的游戏。但请记住，没有赢钱的保证。因此，一定要先使用练习模式。谨慎下注，只玩您输得起的游戏。好好玩吧！ 

在过去的几年里，国际博彩业越来越受欢迎，并持续增长。推动行业发展的技术创新也带来了各种替代支付方式的发展，以适应不断变化的规则和监管以及玩家的需求。但有一点是不变的，那就是运营商必须提供多种安全的支付系统，包括电子钱包、非接触式支付、移动支付，甚至是加密货币。 

可供选择的支付方式在不断增加和发展。线上博彩运营商必须了解新趋势，选择最合适、最受客户青睐的支付方式。以下是iGaming行业最著名的替代支付方式，它们使玩家和iGaming商户之间的关系更加安全和透明。 

加密货币  

尽管线上游戏和线上娱乐场平台不断升级其安全和安保措施，但许多玩家仍然对分享借记卡和信用卡号码等个人信息感到不自在。这就是为什么许多玩家喜欢使用加密货币支付。基于区块链技术的加密货币，如比特币、莱特币和以太坊，为线上游戏运营商和玩家提供了双方都想要的一切。包括身份盗窃保护，每个人都可以访问和使用它，它是去中心化的、透明的、安全的、具有成本效益的，并在全球范围内得到认可。因此，iGaming行业和加密货币似乎是天作之合。 

区块链技术和代币化  

玩家无需使用个人信息即可存款和取款的另一种方法是使用令牌化。代币化是用独特的识别码取代敏感数据的过程。通常，这些交易是通过区块链技术进行的。使用区块链的代币化支付具有很高的安全性，同时保持透明和匿名。这种替代支付方式对iGaming行业非常重要，因为它让玩家有信心登录游戏。即使在数据泄露的情况下，也能确保玩家安全、可靠、受保护和匿名。 

可携带的支付技术  

可携带的设备正逐渐成为新的标准。从简单地跟踪生命体征和体育锻炼结果，到接收智能手机通知或拨打电话。现在，它们正慢慢进入支付行业。 智能手表等可携带的设备可以进行非接触式支付，从而增加了一层便利性和安全性。因此，可携带的设备真正改变了玩家和线上博彩提供商的游戏规则。 

支付处理中的人工智能  

进入支付领域的另一项技术进步是人工智能（AI）。这项技术已经在游戏行业得到了广泛应用。特别是在即时跨平台支付、欺诈分析、客户支付风险、数据保护和隐私等方面。人工智能的使用有助于运营商和iGaming提供商了解用户的问题，监控和了解玩家在不同环境中与游戏的互动方式，并跟踪他们的行为。这样，他们就能为玩家提供更符合他们喜好的游戏，让他们愿意玩更多的游戏。不过，人工智能在支付领域的应用还能带来更便捷的支付方式，保护玩家和运营商的安全。人工智能在各个方面都能极大地改变游戏行业，运营商必须密切关注人工智能的进一步发展和应用。 

取消信用卡并选择其他支付方式  

大多数玩家越来越关注其个人信息的安全和保障。因此，他们中的许多人选择使用不需要直接使用借记卡或信用卡的其他支付方式。 

这种偏好促使运营商寻找其他更适合的替代方案，以满足玩家的需求。由于iGaming设施遍布多个地理位置，因此必须确定最适合每个地区的支付替代方案。通常，这意味着要为不同地区提供不同的解决方案。 

希望加密货币和代币化等新的替代支付方式能够帮助运营商克服这些复杂问题，并提供一站式解决方案，在一个地方满足他们的所有需求。同时，让世界各地的玩家都能尽情享受他们喜爱的游戏，而不必担心货币接受或数据安全问题。 

尼德兰因其对某些娱乐活动的宽松法律而闻名于世。但说到赌博，特别是线上赌博，直到 2012 年，他们的态度还不是那么自由。有趣的是，尼德兰居民可以线上赌博，但只能在尼德兰境内的网站上进行。另一方面，政府对非荷兰运营商的态度则较为宽松。因此，一些世界上最大、最著名的品牌都在尼德兰市场上运营。 

赌博格局  

多年来，尼德兰一直提供多种类型的博彩服务。说到传统的赌博活动，尼德兰是世界上最古老的彩票之一-Staatsloterij-的故乡，该彩票自 1762 年以来一直在运行。尼德兰的博彩业实际上是国家控制的垄断行业，名为 “尼德兰娱乐场”。全国共有 14 家赌场。尼德兰赌场甚至还申请了网上赌博许可证，但遭到拒绝。 

随着线上赌博开始迅速蔓延，尼德兰政府强烈反对在国内允许线上赌博。长期以来，尼德兰政府一直试图阻止本国公民在外国网站上投注。尼德兰政府甚至采取措施，将许多网站列入黑名单，以阻止线上赌博者，甚至坚持银行不应该与这些网站打交道。但银行拒绝了。然而，这些努力都是徒劳的，尼德兰发现要控制互联网几乎是不可能的，因为有超过 450 个网站接受尼德兰公民的投注。 

但体育投注部分略有不同。它由另外两家公司控制 – De Lotto 和 Scientific Games Racing B.V.Scientific Games 负责赛马博彩，而 De Lotto 负责所有其他市场，是唯一合法的线上体育博彩公司。 

条例的变化  

线上赌博的流行，以及如果合法化可能带来的数百万欧元的税收、许可和注册费，促使尼德兰对其严格的立法进行了修改。 

多年来，旧法律不断现代化。但是，2019 年初的情况至关重要。在下议院-荷兰国会二院-投票赞成允许第三方合法提供线上赌博两年后，参议院投票赞成将基于互联网的赌博合法化的立法，为外国和尼德兰公司申请许可证开放市场。 

很快，就有 300 多家公司公开表示有兴趣在荷兰经营赌博网站，预计其中至少有 50 家公司将在明年正式申请许可证。 

新立法不仅将允许新玩家进入市场，还将改变目前国营尼德兰赌场和赌博游戏厅业主所缴纳的 29% 的税率。预计税率将降至 20%，以增加经营者之间的竞争。但税率的降低也会带来更好的玩家利益。包括更高的奖金、更诱人的优惠活动和更高的赔率。 

同时，尼德兰市场是欧盟第 17 大iGaming市场，拥有超过 70万活跃线上玩家，总博彩收入（GGR）介于 1.3亿欧元和 2.5亿欧元之间。 

尼德兰线上赌博的未来  

博彩业专家非常看好线上博彩合法化对荷兰市场的有利影响。据预测，博彩总收入将更高，从而使尼德兰市场更具竞争力。事实上，一旦线上扑克和其他形式的赌博在荷兰合法化，政府预计每年至少有1000万欧元的税收来自线上赌博。 

此外，这一立法变革预计将在仍反对线上赌博合法化的其他欧洲国家掀起波澜。但是，我们还没有看到尼德兰合法线上赌博的故事是如何展开的。

Punto Banco is a version of the famous card game Baccarat that’s been played in land-based casinos for decades. Originally, it was developed in Argentinian casinos, and introduced to the United States in the 1950s, changing the gambling world forever.

The original game of Baccarat had an aura of class about it, especially because in land-based casinos it’s played in a separate room for high rollers. But despite it’s aura, the game can be intimidating to rookies since the rules are unclear at first. But the truth is, Punto Banco has the simplest set of rules of all casino card games.

Baccarat is still very popular today. In land-based, as well as in many online casinos and mobile gambling apps. In online casinos though, players can usually enjoy the more simplistic version of baccarat, Punto Banco. So if you are looking at Punto Banco, and wish to try it for the first time, we suggest you first read the rules. Once you understand what the game is about, and how to play it, there are high chances for making high returns. To help you out, here are our top three tips for making the most of it. Let’s dive right in.

Understand the Pattern and Remember that There is No Winning or Losing Hand

Punto Banco is a game that can involve up to 12 players. And of course, more players means higher chances to win. But, this may not always be true, unless you master the rules and the patterns. And remember there is no predetermined outcome – there are no winning or losing hands.

Although the house may have the edge, like in every casino game, the idea is to create suspense and eliminate high predictability. But you can have the upper hand by mastering the pattern and observing your opponents’ strategies. Simple observation and analysis should help. After all, it is a game of chance. So make your moves wisely.

Place Bets Strategically

Before making a bet, consider the odds at hand, But more importantly, where you place your bet. You should know that the odds in Punto Banco are usually in favor of the player (Punto) or the banker (Banco). What does this mean? This means you should bet either on the player or on the banker because a tie rarely yields wins. Since your goal is to maximize the chances of winning, you must opt for the winning side.

Choose Games with Lower Vigorish

All casinos take commission. But it varies depending on the casino, and the game you play. So before engaging in game play, do your research and choose the casinos that have smaller commission. The games that have smaller commission usually elevate the chances of making higher wins. Especially when you place the bet on the banker. The goal is to reduce the house advantage and increase your chance of winning.

BONUS TIP: Take Advantage of Online Casino Bonuses

Many online casinos offer bonuses to players. And in the case of Punto Banco, you can use the bonuses to increase your playing experience. This is especially good for rookie players that are just begging to learn the game. It is always smart for beginners to establish the foundation by first learning the key rules and getting an initial grasp of the game.

Playing Punto Banco Online vs at a Land-Based Casino

Playing Punto Banco online versus at land-based casinos is usually a matter of personal preference. Many people enjoy the experience of going to a traditional casino because of the atmosphere present at many casinos, especially prestigious establishments.

But, online casinos offer many things that land-based casinos not’s, like the option of playing from the privacy of your home. And the best online casinos offer a great selection of the most popular casinos games you can find in brick-and-mortar casinos, including Baccarat, or Punto Banco. If you prefer having a human interaction, you can choose to play with a live dear, or you can choose a gable game where you deal the cards yourself.

The numerous features make for different gaming experiences, which make online casinos universally popular. And perhaps the one thing that makes playing Punto Banco in online casinos stand out from playing in traditional casinos are bonuses and reward programs.

Whatever your preference, make sure to read the game rules, understand and memorize them before starting a game. Remember our tips, and once you get the hold of the game, try some of the more advanced betting strategies!

Online gaming and gambling are on a constant rise. The internet made online casino gambling available to anyone. Which was very positive to many players how now can enjoy their favorite games without having to make an expensive trip to the casino.

But just like traditional, brick-and-mortar casinos, the online casinos have their dos and don’ts. And before you enter one, it’s important to understand the etiquette, and prevent yourself form looking foolish or worse, like a total amateur. Read on and learn how to behave in an online casino. We’ll have you looking like a pro before your first log in.

1. Know the Law of the Land

Since you can play online from any place in the world, before you log in to your favorite casino, check to see if online gambling is legal in the country, state, province or region where you are residing at the moment. Consult our legality page.  So you won’t end up losing more than just your hand at poker.

2. Play to Win but Expect to Lose

“House always wins” is something we hear all the time, and there’s a reason for that. Gambling online affords players the luxury to take their time to master the games and learn their strategies. Use this to your advantage. Take time to master the games and play to win. But no matter what lucky charm you have on or how smart and strategic your moves are, expect to lose sometimes. Expecting to win all the time will only lead to frustration and no one needs that.

3. Play According to the Best Rules

Almost all online casinos offer the same games. But they may have different variations and not have the same rules. Make Google your friend and search for the rules which suit your preferences. Study the rules or print them out for future reference. That way, you set yourself for success.  

4. Learn to Assess and Trust the Odds

Most casino games are games of chance, that’s true. But some or not. Mathematical statistics are proven, and all casino games are designed on percentages and probabilities for a reason. Don’t rely on luck alone cos there’s more to it. Constant winners aren’t only “lucky” – they have a better understanding of the odds. Learn to calculate the odds – don’t hate them!

5. Always have a Timely Play

Yes, it is expected to take a moment to consider your next move. However, you should make your next move in a timely manner. If you need to do something away from your computers or smartphone, it might be better to use the “sit out next hand” button. The other players will be thankful you did that.

6. Don’t Bet More than You Can Afford

Gambling is meant to be fun. Winning some money plays a big role here, but to win, you must bet first. And the party mood goes away quickly when you spend your rent or grocery money away. Create a gaming budget and stick to a limit that you can realistically afford.

7. Don’t Bet on “Setting Systems”

If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Stick to the rules and use proven mathematical strategies to plan your next move. Don’t rely on someone’s unsolicited advice or betting system they made out cos it is a surefire way to fill somebody else’s pockets.

8. Be Polite to All Players

Even though there are casino games where you play against a computer, keep in mind that online casinos are a real community, and most of the time you are playing against real people. Be cultured and polite, even if your playing style is aggressive.

9. Don’t Do or Permit any “Flaming”

One of the worst things you can do is take out your anger or frustration on other players. Or allow and instigate someone else to act angrily. Instead, calm down, and take sit the next hand out. If angry and insulting comments are directed to you, try to respond calmly and avoid getting into a ‘fight’.

Remember that even though you are playing online, it’s still an establishment where you are expected to follow certain rules and behave. Use our short guide to online gambling etiquette to learn the basic dos and don’ts, so you won’t end up being the annoying player that no one wants to play against.

When online gambling software developers consider the next markets, Latin America is rarely their first choice. That’s no surprise since the top countries by game revenue are China, the U.S., and Japan. Truth is, Latin America finished 2018 with 19% growth year-over-year on mobile platforms. And the predictions say that by 2021 there will be over 235 million smartphone users. Latin America is going through a rapid advancement and quickly catching up to global market leaders.

Let’s look at the Numbers

Latin America is comprised of 26 countries. Collectively, it is twice as big as Europe, and has almost the same number of people. And if all countries are consolidated, like the European Union, it would be the fourth largest. Yet it is still off the radar for most online gambling software developers.

Usually, this is due to the fact that there are income disparities and low bank account ownership. These facts, combined with the recent regional economic decline are making doing business difficult. But there’s still good reason for gambling software developers and operators to consider taking their businesses to Latin America. As it seems it will be the next big mobile gambling market.

For one, industry research shows that the LatAm mobile gaming and gambling market will be worth over $2 billion this year, making it over three times larger than Southeast Asia. Additionally, the growth rates are similar for both regions. The growth is expected to continue, even though only something over 150 million of approximately 630 million people have smartphones. The majority of whom reside in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile and Peru.

You need to Invest to Get a Return

In the past several years, Latina America has grown into a potentially huge market, which already accounts for 4 percent of the world’s total game revenue. But research shows that online gambling software developers do not consider this market important and spend less than one percent of their annual ad budget in Latin America.

The key to online gambling growth in Latin America lies in considering it as a region instead of a collection of countries. Mexico has 130 million people and is one of 20 countries that speak Spanish. On the other hand, there’s Brazil, with over 200 million people speaking Portuguese. This fact alone makes it very easy to segment potential players in this region based on language. Meaning Latin America has little of the linguistic complexity of Europe or Asia. Operators’ teams can partner with a local expert in the region and still manage global acquisition campaigns.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you need to appeal to the new generation of gamblers, the ones that prefer online gambling – e.g. millennials (the generation born between 1985 and 2000) who value personalised, innovative online experiences. This is one reason why games themed around a variety of niches are so popular online, providing choice for any type of gamer, regardless of how varied their interests.

Millennials also want to be able to choose between multiple touchpoints. Providing an omni-channel experience that enables playing on desktop and mobile devices is crucial. People in Latin America favour mobile gaming and gambling, the same as in the Western world. It’s just another area online gambling operators should consider when expanding to this market.

Last Words

Even though gambling restrictions remain in place across the world, governments are beginning to see the benefits of a legal but regulated gambling industry. But until online gambling operators see appreciable change in legislation in the U.S and Europe, they are on the lookout for new opportunities. So it’s no wonder Latin America’s one of their new targets.

With the population of the continent standing at over 600 million, there’s a huge audience out there. And people have a strong appetite for gambling. What’s more, travel and tourism are booming in the region – at a rate of 5.1% per year between 2010 and 2020 – which adds the potential for gambling tourism. While it remains to be seen which online gambling operators and software providers will come out on top, there’s no doubt that large organizations with experience working internationally have a clear advantage.
