Due to the social distancing restrictions imposed because of the coronavirus outbreak, brick and mortar gambling places remained closed, due to which online gambling platforms gained a larger user base. People were forced to sit at home during the lockdown and this increased internet traffic on all fronts. More people frequently visited gambling websites and thousands of new users registered every day. According to research firm Global Poker, the US has witnessed an increase of first-time online poker players by 255% since the coronavirus lockdowns began. Overall, the poker industry has experienced a 43% growth since April 2020. Some countries saw such increases as an opportunity and modified their online-gambling laws. For example, Belarus legalized online casinos and Armenia made some changes to its existing laws. The increasing popularity of gambling apps and social gambling will propel the growth of the mobile gambling market in the forecast period, and several online-gambling platforms increased their marketing and promotional activities in the form of extra tournaments and bonuses to attract more players as well.

With these drivers and the current situation of the world, the online gambling market size is expected to grow from $58.96 billion in 2019 to $92.86 billion in 2023 at a rate of 12.0%. The market is expected to then grow to $113.12 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 10.4%.

The Business Research Company’s report titled Online Gambling Market Global Report 2020-30: COVID-19 Growth and Change covers major online gambling companies, online gambling market share by company, online gambling manufacturers, online gambling infrastructure market size, and online gambling market forecasts. The report also covers the global online gambling market and its segments. The online gambling market is segmented by game type into betting, casino, lottery, poker, online bingo, others and by device into desktop, mobile, others.

With increasing apps and social gambling, online gambling companies are investing in building mobile platforms for their games to increase accessibility and convenience for users. The availability of smartphones with high-end features such as extended storage, high-end graphics and faster processing speeds at reasonable prices incentivize online gambling companies to make mobile-based applications. Also, mobile gambling offers significant benefits, including more deposit options, loyalty programs, and the option to play with anyone anywhere across the globe. According to App Annie, in 2020, 70% of total gambling revenue is expected to come from mobile gambling.

Along with the ease of mobile apps, companies in the online gambling market are increasingly investing in Artificial Intelligence (AI) for improving the overall experience for customers. With the help of AI, personalization for each user is possible as the technology can analyze the preference of the user in terms of game selection and offer a customized welcome page accordingly, helping the user to save time spent on looking for the right game. AI also helps in providing customer support in the form of chat-bots for resolving queries. Behavior patterns and gaming frauds can also be checked, which helps in preventing frauds and locks out scammers. Technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality are being implemented as well, giving a more immersive and realistic experience to their users.

Beyond such high-tech updates, online gambling companies are using several tactics to gain more users. Some provide F2P (free to play) types of game products, commonly referred to as freemium. These games do not make any money for the company directly, but revenues are made through upgrades and additions of certain features and improvements by the user. The user pays a minimal amount for different kinds of virtual offerings and other game products to improve the gaming experience. This model allows online gambling companies to increase their user base and have more active players on their platforms who would eventually make a purchase. Currently, many online casinos are offering a free play version of some of their games. Companies innovating their platforms according to the increasing number of customers and their preferences will allow the online gambling market to continue to grow.

EvenBet Gaming, a global card games and poker software provider, has expanded its product portfolio with the launch of its Turnkey Casino Platform and Game Aggregator, marking its formal expansion into the casino vertical.

With more than 20 years of experience in the poker industry, the move marks the next phase of growth for the company, bringing together its proven poker software and advanced casino solutions into a single framework.

At the core of this expansion is the Turnkey Casino Platform, designed to minimise launch friction and provide a structured and accessible entry into the market, supported by scalable infrastructure to facilitate long-term growth.

The ecosystem combines a ready-to-launch casino platform with EvenBet’s Game Aggregator, comprising over 15,000 titles from more than 230 providers. It also includes an advanced promotional and bonus toolkit, payment infrastructure, KYC tools, an internal revshare affiliate module and external CPA service integrations, enabling operators to launch and scale efficiently without needing extensive technical resources.

EvenBet’s strategy is designed to support a seamless product journey, accommodating both new market entrants seeking an efficient launch and established operators looking to expand their portfolio. Underpinned by a single player account and shared balance, the platform is built to drive cross-vertical engagement, enabling a natural transition between casino and poker.

Supporting this approach is its suite of purpose-built hybrid games tailored to casino players. One Click Poker removes the traditional poker lobby, eliminating a common barrier to entry, while Spins Poker blends player-versus-player gameplay with fast-paced, slot-style mechanics.

Additional casino side games and rewards within the poker lobby play a vital role in supporting the transition of poker players into casino, further optimising the two-way conversion pipeline.

With a track record of delivering first-class poker solutions to tier-one operators worldwide, the expansion positions EvenBet to unlock previously untapped revenue streams as it targets further global growth.

Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO at EvenBet Gaming, said: “The integration of our Turnkey Casino Platform and Game Aggregator into the EvenBet ecosystem represents a natural evolution of our offering.

“The modular platform has been engineered to remove the complexities typically associated with launching a casino, while also providing a clear pathway to a full-scale poker product.

“By leveraging two decades of industry experience and deep technical expertise, we are well equipped to support operators at every stage of their journey, from initial launch to global scale.”
