iGaming
The industry and products associated with internet-delivered gaming services; this publication focuses on online casinos.
Concept and usage
The industry and products associated with internet-delivered gaming services; this publication focuses on online casinos.[1]
In context
iGaming is an industry term covering online gambling services, software and related operations. Researchers, regulators and companies may use different boundaries. Before quoting a market figure, check whether it includes betting, lotteries, bingo or only casino-style games.[1]
Common confusion
It is broader than the category “online casino,” and it does not mean that every activity of a company is governed by the same regulatory regime. An industry label helps organize analysis; it is not evidence of a licence.[1]
Example
If a market report combines game-provider revenue with operator revenue, its total should not be read as revenue earned by casino platforms alone. Compare reports only after checking definitions, time periods and included activities.[1]
