If you work in the online casino business on a daily basis, are a tech enthusiast, or simply want to stay ahead of the curve, keep reading to discover which technologies will have the greatest influence in 2022 if you’re a geek.
AI Artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence has lately gotten a lot of attention. It might be time-consuming to create, but it’s now in the form of smart assistants, self-driving vehicles, social media feeds video games and internet casinos. An analysis by casino USA predicts that artificial intelligence technologies will become more widespread in 2022.
With so many applications now only possible as a result of artificial intelligence, it’s easy to overlook it, but it’ll be in 2022 when cutting-edge technology will be more readily accepted. This is due to the fact that it has already demonstrated the capacity to assist us to improve our lives by streamlining routine activities and automating manual chores at home and at work using a variety of approaches.
Working styles that are both conventional and innovative
Hybrid working habits debuted in 2020, forcing the online gambling industry and society as a whole to adapt to a new way of life and work. It may have been welcome music for employees weary of their normal 9-to-5 job with an exhausting commute, but it also prompted several long-term modifications when it came to how technology and internet casinos coexist. Hybrid working methods will continue to spread throughout the world in 2022 as traditional office arrangements give way to them and influence a wider range of industries and sectors.
Cloud computing rapidly became apparent as an outstanding technique for providing continual access to essential papers and documents, data storage, performance monitoring, and monitoring without requiring human interaction. Hybrid work methods will increase in popularity in 2022 as conventional workplace facilities are replaced them, affecting a broader range of industries and sectors across the globe.
5G
The fifth generation of wireless networks, also known as 5G, is the newest and most advanced mobile network available. 5G is not only much faster than 4G but also has extremely low latency rates, making it ideal for activities that require real-time response times such as online gaming or live streaming. 5G will have a profound impact on many different aspects of our lives in 2022, including online casinos. As more and more people gain access to 5G networks, we can expect to see an influx of new players trying their luck at online gambling for the first time. In addition, existing players will be able to enjoy a smoother and more immersive gaming experience thanks to the increased bandwidth and lower latency offered by 5G.
Virtual Reality
Virtual reality (VR) is a method of simulating presence in another place. Virtual reality has been around for some time, but it gained popularity following the release of low-cost VR headsets such as the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Despite the fact that virtual reality is still in its early stages, it has a lot of promise for the future of online gambling. Virtual reality has a lot of potential for the future, and we can anticipate seeing more casinos providing VR games and experiences in 2022 as they try to stay ahead of the competition and attract new clients.

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus
DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.
The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.
If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.
Google-style campus for game development talents
The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.
It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.
“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.
What does this mean for the market?
Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.
If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.
And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

The agreement designates PENN’s sports betting platforms – ESPN BET in the U.S. and theScore BET in Canada – as Officially Licensed Sportsbooks of MLBPI.

”As baseball season gets underway, we’re excited to offer fans an enhanced betting experience that includes player likenesses, expanded wagering options and a more dynamic product. Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.
OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.
“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.
