Advantages of working in the iGaming sector
Today, iGaming is one of the most promising and rapidly developing industries in gambling. Gambling has always been popular, and the departure to online games for money has become even more in demand. Today players can take part without even leaving their home, and now they can also play with just a smartphone in their hand.
With the active development of technology, online games are becoming more and more available for an increasing range of potential players. Experts predict an online casino boom in the coming years. This is accompanied by both global trends in the development of Internet technologies and high interest in them from users. The coronavirus pandemic has also only increased the influx of online players around the world, particularly in Europe, Asia, and America.
In the current conditions of the pandemic and its long-term consequences for society, more and more people want not only to try their luck by making online bets, but also to relieve tension and stress. It may seem strange, but in the harsh conditions of the pandemic people did not save money fearing a possible economic crisis, but on the contrary, rushed to spend money on the Internet on online purchases of general-demand goods. According to analysts these purchases were not related to essential goods, but rather on passtimes such as online games. Experts assure us that the future belongs to online platforms.
Some statistics:
- Analysts from Hexa Research claim that online gambling revenue will increase to $73 billion by 2024.
- After research, the Evolution company has no doubt that Live Casino will be the main source of profit of the gambling market in the near future.
- Online casino is second only to betting. The revenue of online casinos is $11.2 billion.
- Due to its rapid growth, the gambling industry reached a capitalization of $250 billion in 2021.
Why iGaming?
Working in the field of iGaming gives not only confidence in the future from the point of view of a win-win material base, but also allows you to grow professionally, achieving high personal realization, since the field of online gambling is one of the most (if not the most) dynamically developing. Young professionals who have linked their careers with the field of iGaming grow daily and master new niches and skills that are inaccessible to those who sit still. Working in the field of iGaming is prestigious. These are new horizons, using the most modern technologies and tools. There are major international conferences where you can share your experience, gain new knowledge, and meet new active and promising people who always strive to be first.
iGaming Academies — what are they?
We can see that the niche is developing very quickly, and there are some specialists who understand this. In 2018, the Malta Gambling Authority (MGA) conducted a study that revealed a shortage of staff in the iGaming sector. At that time, there were more than 700 vacancies in the country for various specialists in online gambling, but only one in eight applicants received a job. Because of this iGaming academies began to appear — offering courses that will help you with entering the industry.
iGaming Academies provide training services to both individuals and entire companies. These courses provide professional training on compliance issues and help the organization comply with licensing and security regulations.
In an iGaming Academy, you can fully train for a new profession or upgrade your skills (managerial, technical, interpersonal communication, or marketing skills) and also join a company, because after these courses, employers offer good positions.
Factors contributing to the growth of the iGaming sector
As we have already written, the iGaming sector is growing and developing constantly and at a fast speed. It was also influenced by events taking place around the world.
– Covid
The coronavirus pandemic forced everyone to stay at home, which meant they were looking for new entertainment. Online casinos, games, livestreams, esports — all this helped to entertain yourself while sitting in quarantine. Many started playing out of boredom, so the average traffic volume is growing. The particular success of online casinos is noted in those countries where casinos operated offline before the pandemic, for example, Germany and the Czech Republic.
– Legalization of gambling in America
America began to slowly but surely legalize the gambling market, which gave a new surge in the industry and new opportunities.
Some states and individual cities are eyeing the possibility of allowing online gambling, while others still face various bureaucratic problems. For example, in California, two bills regulating the gambling industry are being considered, and in Florida — three at once. Attempts to pass laws regarding gambling were made in the states of Kentucky and Kansas, and Massachusetts and Missouri are considering such a possibility.
The American gambling market is one of the largest and most promising in the world. At the same time, it obeys complex and confusing rules: competition is high here, as well as government pressure on businessmen.
– Flexible license options
For casino owners and online operators, this is one of the main advantages. It will be much cheaper to create an online casino than a land-based one. Plus, licenses for offshore casinos are usually more profitable.
Jurisdictions where you will be able to obtain a gambling license include Malta, Curacao, Gibraltar, Isle of Man and Kahnawake. Many of these jurisdictions offer a balance between benefits, obligations, and requirements.
– Blockchain in the iGaming sector
Innovative technologies are constantly used in the iGaming industry. Malta even calls itself a “blockchain island”, becoming the first country to legalize blockchain. Now they are actively attracting cryptocurrency exchanges, ICO platforms, blockchain-based application developers and many others, which opens up new opportunities for iGaming companies.
According to experts, blockchain is one of the most relevant topics in the online casino industry in 2022. Its key advantage is reliability and anonymity, all information and financial processes with this technology are maximally protected. It is expected that the blockchain will have a huge impact on the entire gambling sector.
DUXGroup: analysis of the iGaming sector company
One of the brightest players in the iGaming sector is the international holding DUXGroup, on the basis of which licensed casino brands have been successfully operating for several years, as well as the Chilli Partners affiliate program.
In 5 years of its work in the field of online gambling, DUXGroup has been able to attract and retain about 250 employees of the best professionals in their field, acquire two offices in Malta and Cyprus, and create its own DUXPlatform brand.
The holding has more than successfully overcome the global crisis of 2020-2021, when many competitive business companies failed miserably. Moreover, already at the very beginning of 2022, the management of DUXGroup decided to further expand the staff for the implementation of new major projects that are scheduled for this year. Today, on the holding’s website, you can find such promising vacancies as VIP Team Lead, Head of Payments, VIP German Manager, as well as vacancies for beginners, such as Junior Affiliate Managers. This vacancy list testifies to the large-scale plans of the holding, which could have been born exclusively on a stable and powerful base of successfully implemented projects of the past years.
The company openly declares that it is carrying out a revolution in the field of iGaming. The key to success in this revolution is, first of all, the people working in the holding. The best professionals are leading DUXGroup to victory in the market, and DUXGroup, in turn, providing its employees with the best tools to open up brilliant career prospects with high earnings.

Flexion Reports Revenue Increase of 9% for 2024

Flexion, the games marketing company, has announced that its revenue grew 9% to year-end December 2024. The growth is attributed to the Company’s success in the alternative app store market.
Since its IPO in 2018, the company has built a well-positioned games marketing business around the alternative stores and grown annual revenue 50-fold to almost US$100 million. Its game portfolio represents several billion US$ in gaming IP for alternative market partners like Samsung, Amazon, Huawei, OneStore and Xiaomi.
“With the Digital Markets Act (DMA) coming into force in Europe and recent legal actions in the US, mobile game developers have felt a new-found freedom to explore their market options. We’ve already moved beyond the era when Google and Apple controlled everything. Developers are looking for alternatives that offer better margins, and additional audiences and revenue. Partnering with Flexion opens up a range of market channels with very little up-front investment,” said Jens Lauritzson, CEO of Flexion.
Flexion currently distributes more than 30 high-profile titles on the alternative stores. Top-tier games in the Flexion portfolio make on average US$ 10 million a year based on Q4 2024 run rate. That’s income in addition to their Google and Apple revenue with a business model that adds little to their costs.
In Q4 2024, Flexion-serviced games were, on average, generating 9.3% through the alternative stores of the revenue they made on Google Play. This is a significant boost for Flexion’s partners without major costs or effort.
“If you scale for the size of the stores, the alternatives massively out-performed Google in Q4 for our games. This is exciting both for Flexion’s business and for the future of the games industry as a whole. We’re seeing the beginning of a sea change in games marketing,” Jens said.
“We’re seeing just the beginnings of a major shift in how top-tier developers address their markets. Using Flexion to access alternative stores is an easy first step into the post- Google and Apple world. Many developers are already looking at their options beyond that and Flexion will be right there with them providing the technology and expertise they need to maximise the potential of their games,” Jens added.
