#GateTo2050: iGaming in 25 years
At Oddsgate, when innovation knocks, we open the door wide. That mindset inspired #GateTo2050, our latest foresight study, which imagined what the iGaming industry could become by 2050.
From revolutionary technologies to evolving player behaviors, this report dares to forecast what lies ahead. Developed in partnership with the independent consultancy ALVA Research & Consulting, the study transcends traditional forecasts to offer a strategic, data-backed view of long-term industry shifts.
A Methodology built for the Future
The initiative began in August 2024 and was officially launched during the SBC Summit Lisbon in September, where over 200 surveys were conducted with industry professionals.
The methodology combined:
Literature review and document analysis;
Desk research;
In-depth interviews with a panel of global experts.
Through this, 21 transformational variables were identified as critical to shaping the future of iGaming.
These include:
Hyper-immersive AR & VR betting;
Blockchain-based transparency and security;
AI-driven personalization and predictive platforms;
Metaverse casinos and virtual sports experiences.
What these Trends mean?
These technological trends are set to transform how players interact with platforms radically. They promise more immersive, personalized, and secure gaming environments while influencing regulatory frameworks, social dynamics, and sustainability efforts.
Why it matters?
Predicting the future is never easy, but planning for it is essential. #GateTo2050 provides a structured, informed outlook to help industry leaders prepare for and shape the future.
