The Future of Binary Options
What is the future of binary options that have recently drawn attention?
The fun is beginning. Some countries decided to fully erase Binary Options from their legal framework. Great Britain, Australia, Japan, USA, and several other countries secure effective regulation of BO.
The BO’s model itself is undergoing changes. What is the essence of binary options? BO is a mere bet on the market. You can place it in accordance with two schemes: exchange-traded and betting. At that, the exchange-traded scheme is used in the USA only, and the betting one is applied in jurisdictions of all other leading countries. For example, Binary Options are regulated by Gambling Commission in Great Britain and regarded as gambling bets on the market. Although FCA (Financial Conduct Authority), a financial regulator supervising BO, considered the idea of treatment BinaryOption as a financial derivative, they gave it up.
The remaining BO companies will have to radically change their business model. It goes without saying that the overwhelming majority of these companies will either disappear or give up BO as many Forex trading companies do now.
On the contrary, other Binary companies try to develop these models allowing for the mistakes made by their predecessors. They don’t apply cold calling techniques and customize their risk management strategies so that they can act as an intermediary between customers on a platform.
However, it’s not enough. BO will have absolutely new exchange-traded models, in which a BO company plays the role of outside observer and charges a commission for accepting bets on the market placed by traders themselves against other ones, in the future.
Binary Options will be growing up as Binary Options audience is growing up. You need to leave off a habit of earning large percentages over 60 seconds right now, since the BO scheme is unviable and short-lived, and it will be both banned officially in some jurisdictions and modified by brokers themselves. So that’s what major Forex brokers offering BO trading are doing now.
The BO industry has been growing up and will be developing within the US, Japanese and hybrid models. Undoubtedly, this is good news for experienced traders and bad news for newbie traders.
The future of the BO industry can be also judged by the market in Great Britain, where a hybrid of the US and the Japanese models is used. The state guarantees any payouts rigorously. Only 3 major Binary Options market operators, which people trade with for many years, are represented in Great Britain. These operators don’t provide signals, bonuses, and advice from managers.
The BO operators act as an intermediary, so these BO models leave traders alone with the market and provide them no help. Nobody will “make money” for you. You will have only your brains and your experience, and your broker will play the role of a silent provider of a trading platform for placing bets on the market.
As these models spread around the world, Binary Options will find their new life and concurrently clean itself from the past bad reputation. However, it depends not only on the BO market operators, but its participants too. The faster newbies grow up, come to their senses, and give up their illusions about fast profits and freebies, the more grown-up, adequate and serious the BO industry itself will become.

Dutch Gaming Authority Maps Risky Gambling Behaviour with Markers of Risk Research
The Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) has used collected (pseudo-anonymised) player data to map indicators of risky gambling behaviour. With the results of the research, the supervisor can compare the various license holders with each other in other areas than just extreme losses.
Gambling problems and excessive gambling are often associated with the loss of large sums of money. Gambling large amounts of money can indeed be an indicator of risky gambling behaviour, but other indicators also play an important role in detecting problem gamblers, such as playing time or changes in gambling behaviour (for example, gambling more often or at unusual times).
Licensed gambling providers have a mandatory data vault (CDB) in which pseudonymised player and transaction data is stored. The KSA has analysed this data to map risky gaming behaviour, to look at (the usefulness of) applied interventions by providers and to compare the different providers with each other.
The study looked at various indicators of problem gambling: intensity (gambling many days, or losing a lot of money), loss of control (number of deposits per day), increase in gambling behaviour (gambling more often or for longer, spending more money), chosen game (for example sports betting versus slot machines) and interventions by the provider. The analyses were conducted based on one year of data from the CDB.
By comparing or linking different indicators, the KSA gained many new and interesting insights. For example, playing at night is generally seen as an important indicator of risky gambling behaviour. The data shows that players play casino games more often than sports bets at night. This could mean that casino games are riskier than sports bets. At the same time, it could mean that placing sports bets at night is a stronger indicator of risky behaviour: it occurs less often and deviates more from the norm.
The KSA is now looking at how this research and the findings from it can be used by the supervisor to gain more insight into possible problem players and how to tackle them. In addition, it is looking at how the insights obtained can be used in other ways to improve supervision.
