An overview of imminent digital payment trends in online gambling

Published

on

A number of countries Europe, the Caribbean and Asia have legalised online gambling. With the recent US Supreme Court ruling, the USA is gearing up to become a huge betting market, estimated to be worth more than $81 billion by 2022.

More countries are likely to legalise online gambling in the immediate future. There will be different kinds of legislation as well. So, gambling platforms must comply with more regulations and stricter authentication processes than ever before. This could lead to a dilemma.

At one hand, gambling companies would want to comply with all the regulations.  On the other hand, they would want to be as friendly as possible to the users, who would expect to be able to bet right away, without having to go through a lengthy or friction-filled account authentication process.

Here is an overview of what could happen in the near future, or at least what industry leaders think could happen.

Why 888 Is Betting on Automated Authentication

With the gambling industry rapidly growing, the need for efficient and effective authentication and security is becoming even more crucial.

But with players’ need for speed, gambling platforms cannot afford to slow down customers in the process as they register, deposit funds, place wagers or withdraw winnings. That’s pushing companies like casino site 888.com to invest in automated authentication processes, according to Russell Medley, 888’s director of fraud and risk management.

“If there are more hurdles that we put in their way or more things that might prevent them or delay them from playing, it creates a drop off,” he said. “So it needs to be an immediate thing, and that’s where we need to be able to get people to go through our processes as quickly as we can behind the scenes, with minimal intrusion.”

Medley shares his thoughts on the current and future state of the online gambling space, in this month’s Digital Identity feature story.

Gambling providers are also dealing with a rising rate of fraud attacks, as cybercriminals and bad actors increasingly target the quickly growing space. This month’s Tracker includes a Deep Dive on how casinos, online and brick-and-mortar establishments alike, are fighting back against fraud.

Around the Digital Identity World

With not just gambling, but also an increasing array of transactions taking place online, countries around the world are experimenting with new forms of digital identification.

In the Bahamas, for example, Deputy Prime Minister Peter Turnquest announced the government is working with local technology provider GIBC to create a single digital identity credential. The move is designed to provide the country’s citizens with easier and more efficient access to government services.

Meanwhile, in Europe, the Swiss city of Zug recently began using distributed ledger technology to power government-issued IDs. The city is also currently running an eVoting pilot designed to test the possibility of using the blockchain to power resident IDs and voting systems.

And in Australia, the country’s government plans to assign a digital identification credential to all citizens by 2025. The move is motivated, in large part, by the savings it can potentially provide, with experts estimating that digital IDs could reduce the average cost of government transactions from $17 per transaction to less than 40 cents, saving taxpayers billions.

XSOLLA WEB SHOP AND SINGULAR JOIN FORCES TO DELIVER CROSS-PLATFORM LTV AND ROAS MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

Xsolla Web Shop And Singular S2S Integration Bridges The Gap Between Mobile Marketing And Web Transactions For Complete Campaign Visibility

Xsolla, a global video game commerce company that helps developers launch, grow, and monetize their games, today announced a new mobile-focused Server-to-Server (S2S) integration with Singular, a leading marketing analytics and attribution platform. The integration unifies mobile marketing data with direct-to-consumer web purchases, enabling developers to measure campaign performance and player value more accurately than ever before.

As mobile game makers increasingly turn to Web Shops to expand revenue streams beyond app stores, one challenge has persisted: how to tie those off-platform transactions back to mobile marketing spend. The Xsolla Web Shop + Singular S2S integration closes this gap by treating Web Shop purchases as attributable events, giving developers true Return on Advertising Spend (ROAS) and comprehensive Lifetime Value (LTV) insights.

Key advantages of the Xsolla Web Shop + Singular S2S integration:

  • Capture both mobile and web purchases as part of a single funnel
  • Link revenue directly to user acquisition and re-engagement campaigns
  • Reveal the complete LTV picture across app and Web Shop transactions

With this integration, Web Shop purchases are transmitted to Singular as server-to-server events, then mapped back to the correct install source or re-engagement campaign. This provides growth teams with a single, trusted view of performance across all platforms.

“Having launched more than 600 mobile Web Shops, we’ve seen developers demand actionable data that connects web monetization with mobile marketing,” said Berkley Egenes, Chief Marketing & Growth Officer at Xsolla. “Our new S2S integration with Singular delivers that missing link, giving teams the clarity to optimize and scale their Web Shop strategies confidently.”

“Our goal at Singular has always been to simplify complex data and make it actionable for growth teams,” said Gadi Eliashiv, CEO and Co-Founder at Singular. “By partnering with Xsolla, we’re giving developers the full-funnel visibility they need to measure ROI and maximize revenue across every platform.”
