NFTs in iGaming: how can the new technology be used in the iGaming industry?
NFTs have stepped into the spotlight. The varied applications of non-fungible tokens have seen them spread into a number of industries — iGaming included. Is now the time to open an NFT casino? Slotegrator shares its opinion and forecast.
Why are NFTs gaining popularity? First of all, they’re a massive trend. Celebrities buy and sell them, famous pieces of art are being tokenized, and blogger creators promote them as a way to earn sums that are not limited by market norms, but by audience imagination.
But what role does NFT technology play in the iGaming industry? To start with, NFTs can be used as in-game tokens and to place deposits, but they can also be a reward in themselves. Casino and sportsbook platform BC.Game, for example, already accepts NFT deposits.
Since NFTs are decentralized and independent, they can be used anywhere, without any limits, which is appreciated by players who have trouble accessing traditional payment methods.
NFTs are powered by blockchain technology, which stores information about ownership, providing a high level of transparency. This concept is also used in the new trend of provably fair games, where players can verify that their results were governed by a smart contract code, and not influenced or manipulated by humans.
One more function of NFTs in iGaming is to grant access to casinos, such as in the metaverse, or membership in loyalty or VIP programs with special bonuses, tournaments, or jackpots. This function is also a good tool in terms of security — it can assist in self-exclusion or help to block access for minors.
Another interesting use of NFTs is letting players become a part of the business: players can purchase their own slot machine in the metaverse as an NFT. If users own their own virtual slot machine, poker table or even casino, they can benefit from them as business owners. There is one catch, though: metaverses still have no gambling regulation, meaning “casino owners” have no obligations to fulfill.
NFT casinos also appeal to a wider audience: younger generations will play because besides the traditional motives to gamble, they’re very interested in collecting digital assets.
In general, NFT is an incredible way of sharing content. But what about regulations?
The European Union has yet to establish a definition of NFTs, but is planning to regulate them in the same way as cryptocurrencies: authorities are closely scrutinizing decentralized financing out of concerns about money laundering, fraud, and the financing of terrorism, which means European businesses can expect new regulation at some point.
Since NFTs are a relatively new concept, even though their popularity is skyrocketing, regulations still need to be worked out — unlike cryptocurrencies, which have already been given due consideration in many countries.
NFTs are assets, and while profits or losses from the sale or purchase of assets are normally subject to taxation, taxation for NFTs has yet to be clearly established. Whereas taxes on gains from trading cryptocurrencies are usually applied in the owner’s country of residence, there are few — if any — comparable practices for NFTs.
Overall, the future of NFTs is incredibly promising.
It’s estimated by MarketsandMarkets that the NFT sector will grow to over $13 billion in 2027, which would constitute an annual growth rate of 35%. This is in line with the overall trend towards spending more time — and money — online; a survey from McKinsey shows that over 20% of the population is going to increase their level of online shopping, exercising, entertaining, etc.
“NFTs were quickly embraced and became a popular way to spend and earn money. The iGaming industry, no stranger to innovation, saw the potential for NFTs immediately, and game providers began developing titles that incorporated the new technology. Aviatrix, for example, features a crash game where players can purchase the in-game avatar as an NFT. Ultimately, if the rapid spread of cryptocurrencies are any indication of how popular and effective blockchain technology can be, we have every reason to believe that NFTs will become commonplace for online casinos and sportsbooks”, says Ayvar Gabidullin, Business Development Manager at Slotegrator.

Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon Fights off the Competition to Reign as TEKKEN 8 at 2025 Esports World Cup Champion, Securing Back-to-Back EWC Titles

Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon has claimed the TEKKEN 8 at EWC 25 crown having beaten Yoon “LowHigh” Sun-woong in a 5-2 grand final finish. His victory secures DN Freecs their first win at EWC 25 as he takes home $250,000 of the $1,000,000 prize pool.
Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon had a strong run at EWC 25, losing just one series against Kim “Kkokkoma” Mu-jong in the first match of the second phase. From that point on, however, he went unbeaten on his way to the grand final, even taking down Kim “Kkokkoma” Mu-jong for revenge on his way back from the lower bracket.
In the semifinals, Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon booked his place in the grand final with a 5-3 finish over Kim “CherryBerryMango” Jae-hyun, securing his second EWC TEKKEN 8 grand final in a row. Ulsan showcased his mastery of Dragunov throughout the grand final, setting the scene with a decisive victory in the first set, before taking the title in the seventh set with a 5-2 win.
His grand final opponent, Yoon “LowHigh” Sun-woong, took down Team Vitality’s Jeon “JeonDDing” Sang-hyun in a 5-2 finish to lock his place in the grand final. The former EVO champion displayed his Bryan skills throughout the final against Ulsan, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the overall winner.
“I never expected this. I cannot imagine I would win again. I mean, this year I had a rough start; there was a nerf to Dragunov, I had a lot of difficulties – I wanted to prove myself on this stage, and I have done it,” said Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon. “It’s been like a dream to be here. Thank you to those who support me from everywhere, my team, my friends, all my partners, and especially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for making this the biggest tournament in the world.”
“I’m still hungry. I just want to make myself a legend,” said Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon.
Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon secured 1000 Club Championship points for DN Freecs, who, as a result, jumped up to joint-eleventh place in the Club Championship standings, with 1200 points. Despite having three players in the top eight, DN Freecs will only receive one lot of points.
It was a disappointing showing from Team Falcons in TEKKEN 8, as all three representatives were eliminated before earning any points. With only a few games left to earn points, Team Falcons had high hopes for TEKKEN 8. Elsewhere, Twisted Minds, who secured victory earlier in the day in PUBG, failed to make it two for two on Saturday, also failing to score points in TEKKEN 8 as Arslan “Arslan Ash” Siddique was eliminated by overall winner, Lim “Ulsan” Soo-hoon.
