Ask anyone in iGaming what they think of HR and you will get a sigh before you get a sentence. Slow onboarding, generic policies, exit interviews that go nowhere, a "confidential" chat that somehow finds its way back to your manager. It is not unique to this industry. But iGaming has a habit of moving at breakneck speed while its people function limps along with the pace of a...
Ask ten people how they ended up working in iGaming and you will get ten different answers. A former bank compliance officer. An affiliate marketer who used to sell mattresses online. A game designer who came from mobile apps. A customer support lead who started in telecoms. Almost nobody grew up dreaming of a career in online gambling, and that is exactly what makes it such an interesting industry...
For years, the Brazil iGaming market existed in an odd kind of limbo. Millions of players were already betting through offshore operators, but there was no licensing framework, no tax structure, and no way for the industry to say with confidence how big the opportunity really was. That changed in 2026. The country's first full year under regulation has turned Brazil from a grey-market curiosity into one of the...
Brazil iGaming affiliates spent years operating with almost no rulebook at all. Traffic flowed to offshore operators, commissions got paid, and nobody in government was watching too closely. That era is over. Since Law No. 14,790/2023, known locally as the Betting Law, came into force on 1 January 2025, affiliates promoting betting and casino brands to Brazilian players are now working inside a real regulatory structure, and the details...
Ask an operator which Asian country is best for iGaming right now, and most will say the Philippines without hesitation. Ask which country will matter most for the Asia iGaming market 2030 outlook, and the answer gets a lot less certain.
That gap between "best today" and "best for the future" is worth sitting with. Licensing frameworks, payment rails and player bases can all shift within a few years in...
A debate is building across iGaming over where engagement ends and exploitation begins, and few people are better placed to comment than the product teams building the games players return to every day. Shalva Bukia, Chief Product Officer at SPRIBE, argues that iGaming player wellbeing should sit inside product design from the outset, rather than arrive afterwards as a compliance layer bolted on top.
A Conversation Product Teams Need to...
The rise of cryptocurrency has dramatically transformed financial landscapes, yet it faces ongoing challenges, particularly from regulatory bodies. As authorities tighten their grip on the industry, prediction markets in crypto are experiencing a chilling effect that could hinder innovation and growth.
The Implications of Regulatory Oversight
Regulators across the globe are increasingly scrutinising cryptocurrency activities to mitigate perceived risks such as fraud, market manipulation, and investor protection. Such regulatory oversight, while...
Somewhere right now, someone is scribbling "iGaming empire" on a napkin and mentally spending the money before the domain name is even registered. Good news: it is entirely possible to start a successful iGaming company. Bad news: nobody tells you that the real boss level isn't building the casino, it's the paperwork guarding the door to it.
Here is the honest, slightly irreverent guide to what actually happens when you...
Mozambique has just given operators a much clearer reason to take its market seriously. On 17 July 2026, the Council of Ministers approved a dedicated regulation for online games of chance, separating digital gambling oversight from the rules that have long governed land-based casinos. For anyone holding a platform, game content and the know-how to run a sportsbook or casino brand, the practical question now is who to partner...
If you were starting an iGaming company from scratch in 2026, would you really build "another casino"? The honest answer for most founders should be no. That market is crowded, marketing spend is brutal, and the operators with the deepest pockets tend to win the paid acquisition war before a challenger even gets out of the gate.
The more interesting opportunity is to build a technology-first company that happens to...
