Nanocosmos is on the way to boost player engagement for live casino and sports betting with adaptive, data-driven interactive live streaming at SBC 2022, Barcelona, Sep 20-22, 2022, Booth M22
The well–established, Germany–based provider for iGaming and betting operators will demonstrate its award-winning live streaming platform and API nanoStream Cloud with new coverage for improved Quality of Service and Quality of Experience and continue the focus on reliable integrated B2B interactive live streaming to be available on mobile and around the world.
Adaptive Streaming available for all users
Nanocosmos makes adaptive streaming a priority for its presence at SBC Barcelona this year. Live Transcoding and Adaptive Bitrate Playback (ABR) are now accessible to enable smooth streaming for all clients and free trial accounts. This enhances the adaptive streaming service not only by making it much easier for customers to manage their live transcoded streams, but also enabling uncomplicated access to the passthrough stream and live transcoded streams with different video quality levels. Adaptive Bitrate Playback and Live Transcoding are critical features for smooth playback on all devices for any network in any region. In addition, the new dashboard and API improve also usability and support for ABR. The ABR focussed features are laid out for operators to provide a seamless streaming experience for players and to unlock the full potential of interactive live streaming content that is available in all regions. In combination with the new player for sub–second latency, nanoStream Cloud is now positioned to cover both as part of the standard package: Interactive live streaming with the possibility to achieve sub–second latency, including live transcoding and adaptive playback.
Enhanced measures for end–to–end observability and secure streaming
Furthermore, nanocosmos will Illustrate how nanoStream Cloud serves usability, reliability, security, and additional data–insight. The established interactive live streaming platform for iGaming and betting operators now added the streaming protocols SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) and WHIP (WebRTC–HTTP ingestion protocol) to its portfolio which are available next to the established RTMP ingest protocol. nanoStream Cloud, the unique combination of an ultra–low–latency live streaming CDN, browser–based player and advanced analytics, hereby continues to highlight the focus on optimized Quality of Service and Quality of Experience for a 100% stable and reliable system.
To allow gaming and betting operators to better observe the performance of their streamed content, Nanocosmos upgraded its nanoStream Analytics platform with an enhanced data logging and search backend. Customers will gain improved insights on streaming performance and respective parameters from ingest to playback. This benefits service and viewers’ experience. Customers can access additional data made available via API or dashboard. nanoStream Cloud users can now ingest using the RTMP, SRT and WHIP protocols for WebRTC ingest for improving connectivity, especially for remote ingest locations and higher bitrates.
One of the focussed areas of this year’s product development at Nanocosmos has been stream security. In that regard, the provider continues to build on the features that were added in spring 2022 – the interactive live streaming platform and API now benefit from added misuse protection; it is possible to block specific IPs and websites that are using content inappropriately via both: API and dashboard.
“From ingest to playout to support and data–insight, nanoStream Cloud integrates all areas needed for B2B interactive live streaming and to continuously improve 100% stability, reliability and customer success. iGaming and betting operators no longer have to compromise quality of service, quality of experience and ease of use to engage their audience with interactive content. Our commitment is to provide interactive
streaming of high quality; our updates redefine interactive experiences based on the reliability and stability that our customers are used to”, says CEO Oliver Lietz.

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
