Virtual Gaming, Is It Gaining Traction In America And Canada? A Hot Discussion At Sports Betting And Casino Summit North America


Covid-19 has driven American gamblers online and as LAS VEGAS is slowly awakening from its pandemic-induced slumber, we are just at the beginning to see how these gamblers are choosing online over land-based.
Photos from the casinos that welcomed visitors for the first time in nearly three months showed gaming tables surrounded by guests, some wearing masks.
Their thirst for a gamble is understandable. In quarantine, American high-rollers have struggled to find substitutes for the real thing. Whereas, say, British gamblers have been able to bet legally online under lockdown, Americans face a patchwork of state laws that give limited options for lawful remote betting.

The anatomy of a high-performing iGaming platform: a guide from Slotegrator
Slotegrator, a gambling solutions provider and game aggregator, has released new downloadable material about the key components of a successful online casino platform. The guide includes practical checklists to help beginners set up platforms from scratch and experts enhance their projects.
In the iGaming industry, a projectâs long-term success depends on the power and versatility of its platform. But that platform canât be based on any old software; just like how you canât have a car without four wheels and an engine, there are vital components to an online casino platform.
So what are they?
Letâs start with first impressions. The frontend is the âfaceâ of a platform. Almost 75% of players judge a gambling website based on its appearance, and 88% of users wonât return after a negative experience.
Key frontend elements include:
- Branding (visitors should understand the idea from the first glance)
- Navigation (everything should be simple and easy to find)
- Transparency (players must have easy access to relevant information)
- Localization (adoption of language, currency and cultural norms).
If the frontend is the face, the backend is the brain. It should contain all the tools for successful online casino management. A quality backend should give the operator total, real-time monitoring and control over every aspect of a business â payment processing, regulatory compliance, game statistics, player data, retention strategies, analytics, compliance, player support, and everything else.
New operators often find themselves trying to choose whether to build such a platform in-house or to outsource the job. Slotegratorâs report carefully weighs the pros and cons of each option and reaches a clear conclusion: in-house development might save a little money in the short term, but itâll cost much more in the long run.
âWe created this guide to help operators to understand what truly belongs in a successful iGaming platform. An engaging frontend and a powerful backend are essential tools for attracting and retaining players. The guide is a valuable resource for evaluating a platformâs strengths and weaknesses and building a clear promotion strategyâ, says Svetlana Kirichenko, Head of Marketing at Slotegrator.
Slotegratorâs guide also includes several key checklists:
- Essential frontend functions
- Key backend features
- Necessary modules for platform architecture (featuring a real example of Slotegratorâs turnkey online casino platform.

PAGCOR ORDERS TAKEDOWN OF GAMBLING BILLBOARDS
In a memorandum issued on July 7, PAGCOR directed all licensees, suppliers, system administrators, and gaming venue operators to take down gambling ad materials, including those displayed on trains, buses, jeepneys, and taxis.
The agency emphasized that only institutional or responsible gaming campaignsâsubject to PAGCORâs approvalâwill be permitted moving forward.
âWe have given all our licensees and stakeholders until August 15 to completely remove all gambling-related ads,â said PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco.
âPrior to that, stakeholders must also submit an inventory of their existing billboard and wallscape advertisements by July 16.â
The inventory, according to Mr. Tengco, must include the size, material, location, rental contract expiration, and the corresponding permit number from the Ad Standards Council (ASC).
The PAGCOR chief said the move is part of the state gaming agencyâs commitment to promote a safer and more responsible gaming environment in the country.
âWhile PAGCOR is mandated to regulate the gaming industry and generate revenues for nation-building, we do not want to encourage a culture of gambling addiction,â he said.
âRegulating excessive and pervasive gambling advertisements is a critical step in protecting vulnerable sectors of society, especially the youth.â
The agency also warned against replacing the dismantled advertisements with new gambling promotions, stressing that non-compliance will be dealt with accordingly.
