How to Prepare for the Future of Online Sports Betting
by Jack Johnson DesignerAlmost
every sports bettor often wonders about the
future of online betting. The introduction of live betting and withdrawal
options in sports betting indicates that the future of the industry is more
mobile-centric. The evolution of the mobile market has completely changed the
way people bet on various sporting events. This is the same change we saw when
the sports betting market moved from offline to online.
With over 70% of bookmakers now trading
via mobile devices and apps, it's fair to say that mobile gamification is the
future of sports betting.
The
evolution of mobile games
The mobile sports betting market and latest slots has
grown significantly over the past few years. This growth has obviously been
driven by an increase in the number of mobile users around the world. The basic
process of creating an online sports bet remains virtually the same regardless
of the device you use. However, mobile technology has greatly influenced
(mostly improved) the communication process between bettors and bookmakers. Cash out and play in play are two of the
biggest developments we have seen in online sports gaming in recent years.
Let's find out more about them
Withdrawal
of funds. This is a special feature offered
by some online sports betting sites, especially mobile sportsbooks, where the
player can take his money and winnings and place a bet at any time during the
game. This is an effective way for players to ensure their profits. As they say
in gambling, quit while you're winning. However, most betting operators do not
allow players to cash out until the end of a particular game or round.
Withdrawal is a method that provides this opportunity.
In Game. As the name suggests, this is a type of bet in which you can place
bets after the start of a certain event and at any time before its end. It is
most common in football, cricket and horse racing. In-play betting, also known
as live
betting, apparently gives players better odds and more
opportunities to win than the regular alternative.
The next biggest change will likely be the transition of popular mobile
games to mobile gambling. Mobile gaming apps have been used by thousands, even
millions, of users in recent years, and it's fair to say that this will further
encourage other industries such as sports betting in
the future.
Mobile game betting
As we already know, online gambling is
not much different from mobile gaming, the only difference is the two types of
games. News about the huge success and popularity of mobile games like Candy
Crush and Angry Birds is not known to anyone. This further encourages mobile
betting operators to come up with new but similar gaming ideas for their
purposes.
Displaying advertisements and other money-making methods is also very
common in mobile gaming apps. Thus, there is a high possibility that gaming
companies may consider using the betting feature in their mobile games to earn
more money from them. Players will also love this as the betting is much less
annoying than the ads that pop up during the game and players will have a real
chance to make money doing what they love to do.
There are already some gaming companies and sportsbook sites taking the
necessary steps in this direction, with 888sport being an example. The company
recently released a new game based on the Pokemon Go concept along with a free
bet option. The game uses advanced technologies such as geo-tracking and augmented reality ( AR ) to provide players with the ability to place
bets. This is quite a fresh concept that other online sports betting sites are
looking forward to. However, the only condition that must be met for this
concept to work is that the mobile game must be something similar or related to
the sports industry. This is important to ensure that sports bettors feel like
they are gambling and not just a mobile game.
As for the conclusion, gamification definitely seems to be the best next
step for the online sports book industry. It may experience some initial
difficulties, but it will definitely work in the long run.
