Can you introduce the awager product and tell us about your company’s aims in the European market?
With awager’s unique products, we aim to usher in a new era of casino gaming in Europe. Our products bridge the gap between traditional land-based casinos and online gaming by allowing players to access land-based slot games remotely. We use modular design, the latest in streaming and audio technology, and a cutting-edge, user-friendly interface to allow players to experience the sights and sounds of a real casino wherever they decide to play.
This product is a unique proposition in the iGaming industry. We have already established ourselves as a presence in North America, including launching the third iteration of our product with Loto Quebec.
Our aim is to provide players with a more authentic and immersive online gaming experience and after finding success in North America, we are now excited to introduce our product to European audiences.
Which markets will be a priority for awager as you expand into Europe, and why?
We have laid out a detailed roadmap for our European expansion. At the forefront of our strategy is a commitment to focusing exclusively on regulated markets, ensuring compliance and sustainability in our operations.
The United Kingdom is going to be a key target. It is undoubtedly the busiest and most dynamic market on the continent, and it offers a huge player base hungry for something fresh and exciting. This will help give us a strong foothold in the region and present plenty of growth opportunities for us as a company.
Sweden will also be a priority during our first wave. Swedish players have a strong affinity with land-based casinos, and as they begin to close down, we find ourselves uniquely positioned to step in and quench that thirst for a physical gaming experience. The Netherlands will also be an important market.
Once we have established a presence in these key markets, we will turn our attention to other regulated markets like Spain, Switzerland, Romania, and Greece. There is plenty of appetite in these countries for something different, and that is exactly what awager can bring to the table.
Are customer tastes significantly different in Europe compared to North America, and if so, how does awager intend to navigate this?
I don’t think there are too many major differences. America has a much stronger land-based culture than Europe, but European players are much more accustomed to online play, which is where our action takes place.
We anticipate some differences in spending habits. Generally speaking, American players tend to gravitate toward higher stakes games compared to their European counterparts, largely due to regulation and cultural differences.
However, all indications point towards European players strongly embracing our products with the same enthusiasm that has characterised our success in the American market. Given that Europe represents a much larger potential market, we have extremely high ambitions over the next years.
What are some of the biggest trends impacting the European market right now? And how is awager positioned to capitalise on them?
Innovation has been the industry’s buzzword for the last few years. Operators are relentlessly seeking to introduce fresh and exciting offerings that will captivate their players, and we are uniquely positioned to meet this demand.
Players are looking for more from their online casino experience, and operators are looking for innovative ways to attract more players. Our product is the ideal link between these two needs, enabling operators to draw in high-stakes players from traditional land-based casinos while appealing to players who crave a more authentic and fresh casino experience.
There is also a real movement towards creating a more authentic gaming experience. Our products cater to that need by using the latest streaming and sound technology to immerse players in the experience. One of the most consistent pieces of feedback we receive from both players and operators is that they can not quite grasp how real the whole experience is.
What are some of the biggest barriers to entry in the European market?
The biggest challenge for most companies looking to break into the European market is navigating regulations. We want to be in as many markets as possible, but we will strictly only work in regulated markets, which does rule out some countries.
Of course, there are also some regulatory hoops we need to jump through in each market, but our product is well-set to do that.
