In the second chapter of State of iGaming 2025, the Atlaslive team takes a closer look at what’s defining the next phase of industry growth. From evolving player protection tools to greener operations and new tech horizons, these drivers reveal how iGaming is preparing for a smarter, more responsible 2026.

Responsible Gambling Redefined

Responsible gambling has moved far beyond compliance checklists. Modern RG tools use behavioral insights and predictive data to help players manage time and spending. Subtle interventions, like break reminders or loss-limit alerts, are becoming key features for building player trust and keeping engagement healthy over time.

The Rise of Interactive Betting

Betting formats are multiplying, and players are engaging in new ways. Micro-bets, player props, same-game combos, and social leaderboards are turning wagering into real-time entertainment. The challenge now is clarity: platforms must balance choice with usability, giving players quick, simple access to complex markets.

Data at the Core

Data remains the invisible driver behind iGaming’s transformation. Real-time analytics now shape everything from live odds to fraud detection and personalized content. The leaders are those who don’t just collect data; they act on it instantly, adapting offers, managing risk, and improving retention on the fly.

Sustainability Takes the Stage

ESG principles are taking root across the sector. Operators are investing in green hosting, renewable energy, and transparent reporting, with regulators recognizing these commitments through official frameworks. Social impact, governance, and environmental action are becoming part of the industry’s identity.

Web3 on the Horizon

While regulation around crypto betting remains unsettled, Web3 continues to attract interest for its transparency and flexibility. Blockchain-based settlements, verifiable transactions, and digital rewards are redefining how trust and engagement can function. Once regulation aligns, its impact could be transformative.

iGaming in 2025 is evolving with purpose, fueled by innovation, guided by data, and anchored in accountability.

MiFinity, the award-winning global eWallet provider, has announced the integration of Veriff’s new automated Proof of Address (POA) solution, enhancing its Know Your Customer (KYC) process with cutting-edge fraud prevention and compliance technology.

This latest development builds on MiFinity’s successful two-year partnership with Veriff for Proof of Identity (POI) checks. By integrating automated POA, MiFinity will soon deliver a streamlined, highly effective KYC experience that combines POI and POA verification in real time. For customers, this means faster onboarding, instant account-level upgrades upon completion, and a frictionless journey. For merchants, it strengthens MiFinity’s ability to support genuine customers globally while mitigating fraud risks across the value chain.

The Veriff solution uses AI and machine learning to verify documents, detect manipulation, and identify fraudulent activity in real-time. This ensures only legitimate customers gain access, while reducing manual intervention for MiFinity’s KYC team. The outcome is a faster, more secure, and scalable onboarding process that protects merchants, boosts compliance, and supports long-term growth.

Paul Kavanagh, CEO of MiFinity, commented: “Our partnership with Veriff has always been about raising the bar on compliance, fraud protection and customer experience. With this new Proof of Address solution, we were proud to be involved early in the product development process, helping shape a service that works for our markets and our users. By adopting it from day one, we’ve not only streamlined customer onboarding but also strengthened the safeguards that protect our merchant partners. It’s a win-win; customers get verified quickly and easily, and merchants can be confident that MiFinity is committed to fraud prevention, compliance, and delivering trusted financial services worldwide.”

The integration also reinforces MiFinity’s position as a forward-thinking payments company committed to implementing best-in-class technologies.

Enter the Demon World this Halloween with Stakelogic’s newest blockbuster slot

Stakelogic is closing out spooky season in style with Soul Slayer, a gripping slot experience where every spin becomes a battle for survival. Set in a world consumed by demonic forces, Soul Slayer challenges players to embrace their inner warrior and strike back with precision, fury, and Wild-filled rewards.

At Soul Slayer’s core is the unique Rumble Reels mechanic, where opposing champions clash directly on the reels. Characters engage in real-time battles, interacting with symbols and gathering rewards as the fight unfolds.

In the base game, the Slayer acts as a special Wild symbol that appears only on reel 1. When it lands alongside Demons, it triggers the Wild Slayer Feature, transforming matching Demon symbols into Wilds or Multiplier Wilds worth up to x5. Meanwhile, the Incursion Feature can open up to 20 portals mid-spin, flooding the reels with high-value Demon symbols. When the Slayer appears, the two features collide for devastating win potential.

When four or more Scatters appear, players are transported to the Combat Free Spins Feature, a three-tiered gauntlet where each victory brings them closer to the final showdown. Defeat waves of Demons to unlock Boss fights against the Minotaur, Cerberus, and the fearsome Dragon Lord. Each duel heightens the intensity, rewarding accuracy and perseverance.

During Combat Free Spins, Special Symbols introduce tactical depth: Attack symbols pull Coins or Coin Multipliers from their row before striking their Demon opponent, while Heal symbols offer reprieve when the battle turns fierce.

For players eager to face the Demon World head-on, the Buy Bonus feature allows instant access to the Combat Free Spins round for 100x the base bet, while Super Stake can be activated to double the chance of triggering Free Spins.

James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, said: “Soul Slayer is our most ambitious fantasy release to date, capturing the feeling of taking on impossible odds and turning them in your favour. Every feature is designed to make the player feel powerful: from slaying Demons mid-spin to facing down monstrous Bosses in Combat Free Spins. It’s about surviving the onslaught, mastering the mechanics, and ultimately walking away victorious.”
