This Week’s Breaking News!
Interested to know what’s hot and happening in the world of online casinos and gambling right now? Let’s take a look at this week’s breaking news.
Are streamers and influencers the future of gaming?
That was the question posed in a session on day two of iGB Affiliate London 2023. Titled ‘Under the Influence: Streamers, Ambassadors and the New Rules,’ and discussed by t2 Marketing International Partner Corey Padveen and Clarion Gaming Head of Affiliate Content Stephen Carter.
While influencer marketing has allowed online gambling to reach new audiences. It has also resulted in new rules and regulations having to be made in order to manage the increase in issues like irresponsible gambling. This is breaking news in the industry.
As Padveen explained, “The market itself is really going through some significant shifts. Especially over the last 12 months. The free-for-all that you saw early on in the world of gambling is somewhat tightening its belt. The regulatory side is now really catching up with the technology in streaming. Which is happening a lot faster than what we’ve seen in some other areas of tech.

“People like to see these huge stakes and the significant amount of risk in live play. The problem is there is not much in the way of regulation and oversight when it comes to what can and can’t be shown. Or what can and can’t be done.
“Online slot tournaments are coming up a little bit more frequently. And you’ll likely start to see a move where there is a really big push in branded partnerships or sponsorships to actually turn a player or streamer into an operator for the brand. I think you’ll see a lot more of that. Especially with bigger brands that just want to have their logo out there. If someone wants to stream on a bet365 platform, for example. They just want to have the logo up there. What they are playing or how they are playing it is going to be secondary to having the brand front and centre.” Talk about breaking news.
Influencers and streamers are having an increasingly significant impact on a wide range of industries. Including online gambling. Which is not necessarily a good or bad thing, but it is something that needs to be managed correctly in order to ensure that their influence is a positive one. We’ll be keeping an eye on this topic as it’s one that could have a marked effect on the future of online gambling. Watch this space!
