The increasing shift from offline to online gaming is expected to drive the growth of the iGaming platform market going forward. This shift refers to the migration of players from physical casinos, gaming centers, and traditional offline gambling formats to digitally hosted gaming environments accessible through mobile applications, desktops, and online portals. The transition toward online gaming is being accelerated by improved internet connectivity and widespread smartphone adoption, which make digital gaming more convenient, accessible, and personalized compared to offline alternatives. iGaming platforms facilitate this transition by offering seamless digital access, a wide range of gaming options, and real-time interactive features that enhance user engagement and convenience. For example, in April 2024, according to a survey conducted by the Office of Communications, a UK-based statutory body, among 3,383 children aged 3-17 and parents surveyed between October and November 2023, the proportion of children aged 5-7 using apps or websites to communicate online increased from 59% to 65%, accessing social media rose from 30% to 38%, watching livestreams increased from 39% to 50%, and playing online games grew from 34% to 41% compared to 2022. As a result, the growing shift from offline to online gaming is contributing to the expansion of the iGaming platform market.
