What Can We Expect From 2016 in Online Gambling?
2016 LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE A YEAR WITH MORE NEW ONLINE CASINOS, MORE PLAYERS USING MOBILE CASINOS, A BURST IN POPULARITY OF BITCOIN CASINOS AND MORE COUNTRIES AND STATES SEEKING TO REGULATE ONLINE GAMBLING.
With each passing year, online gambling is becoming a more and more popular, and profitable, industry. In 2015, many new online casinos were launched, based in locations all around the world. In America, local and federal battles waged regarding the legalization of online gambling, with a temporary win in favor of online gambling.
If you thought 2015 was the year that saw the creation of many new online casinos, 2016 looks like it will top it. Because there is tight competition in the online betting industry, more and more casinos are being created with the players’ needs in mind. This is good news for online gamers, who will have greater choices when it comes to service, games and technologies.
Oh sure, you’ve heard this before. Back in 2013, everyone was sure Bitcoin was the next big thing.
Then the world’s largest Bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, imploded, and everyone was sure BItcoinwas dead. Pundits tend to think that way- you’re It, or you’re not.
The reality of it is a little different. Despite the travails of Mt. Gox—and the Silk Road,
the online drug bazaar that relied so heavily on Bitcoin—the digital currency never went away. Today, it’s thriving like never before. And some say this is the year it finally reaches the mainstream.
Recent studies in 2015 predicted that the use of mobile devices to play at online casinos will continue to grow throughout the next year.
As a currency driven not by a central government but by a vast network of independent computers spread across the globe, Bitcoin has been slowed by regulatory problems—particularly in the US. But these are easing, with regulators in New York leading the way.
Ultimately, Bitcoin can still provide a much needed boast to the economy.
