Online casinos aren’t new. In fact, they’ve been around since the mid-nineties and have been growing in popularity ever since due to the ease of accessibility and level of convenience that they offer players. They also boast a plethora of titles, from traditional games like poker and slots to more new ones unique to the gambling website. However, live gaming is a trend on the rise, where users can interact with real dealers instead of merely software. In this post, we’ll cover some of the things you need to know about these live casinos.

  1. They’re generally secure and safe

Contrary to what some might believe, live casinos don’t all exist within a vacuum. Instead, they’re in a regulated sector. This means that they need to obtain a license to operate before they can begin keeping players engaged with their games. Apart from proving their ability to run their gambling website, aspiring operators need to secure their apps and websites before availing them to prospects. Moreover, they have to prioritize the protection of the funds and data of their customers and work with reputable payment companies.

For these reasons, playing at a live casino with real money is generally a safe activity, provided that you do your due diligence beforehand.

  1. You can use your mobile devices to play

These days, mobile devices can do nearly everything that a computer can, whether it is holding video conferencing meetings or browsing the internet. They also have the hardware and power to handle live casino gaming. With that said, the experience of gambling online through your smartphone or tablet will still depend on specific factors. For example, wireless connectivity may still be prone to hiccups here and there, so that could affect the live stream. The device’s technical specifications must also match the games you want to play, and it could struggle if it’s older.

  1. They offer incredible game selections

One of the reasons many prefer live casinos over land-based establishments is that they generally come with a wide variety of titles. As a result, there’s going to be something for everyone. Players are also less likely to get bored because there will always be something that they can play after they’ve had their fill of a specific game.

  1. There are bonuses

No one can deny that knowledge and expertise can help influence the outcome of any online casino game. However, one other thing that can put you in a favorable position when gaming online is the bonuses that they offer. After all, they can help you make your gaming sessions much longer without having to risk more money than you already have in the process.

Conclusion

Live casinos continue to be the preferred means of gambling for many enthusiasts because they are easier to get into and more convenient than a land-based gaming den. So, if you’re looking to have a good time playing your favorite games, try to join a live casino.

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?

MLB Players Inc., a commercial affiliate of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and OneTeam Partners announced they’ve reached a licensing agreement with PENN Entertainment.

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.

PENN now has the rights to use MLB player names, images and likenesses on its sports betting platforms, marketing assets and promotional campaigns.

The deal also includes PENN’s retail sportsbook operations (32 retail sportsbooks at its casino properties, including 19 under the ESPN BET brand).

Last fall, FanDuel and MLBPI reached a similar licensing agreement after the MLB players’ union sued FanDuel and Underdog Fantasy in New York Supreme Court, accusing them of using the names and likeness of ballplayers on their players without permission.

”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.
