To date, the gambling sector is one of the fastest-growing industries globally. As recently as the early ‘90s, the only way gamblers would play their favourite games was by visiting a land-based gaming facility. However, by the time we got to the late 90s, right around the start of the dot-com boom, internet gambling sites had already started going mainstream. For the first time ever, the traditional in-person play was no longer the only way to gamble. In the decade that followed, iGaming enjoyed tremendous growth as more people embraced the new way of gaming.
Gamblers in Canada, for example, wouldn’t be forced to plan trips to, say, Casino de Montréal all the way to Notre Dame Island if they wanted to play a few quick gaming rounds. Instead, it became as simple as logging on to an online casino Canada site to enjoy their favourite games from any location. But, of course, the gambling scene has always been one of those industries that quickly adopt emerging technological trends – case and point, the shift to internet gaming.
So, in a world where the general population is increasingly embracing cryptocurrency and blockchain-based technologies, it’s no surprise that the gambling sector is already at the forefront. As such, the gambling sector is always packed with opportunities for innovators, which brings us to today’s subject of discussion – cryptocurrency service suppliers. So, which companies are offering the most exemplary products and services for iGaming brands? Read on to find out more.
