Uberization: The way forward for a holistic technological approach of the igaming industry
BtoBet’s CEO Alessandro Fried discusses the technological approaches that have characterized the iGaming industry in the past and the need for a harmonisation process whereby cutting-edge technology is made more accessible no matter the market, or size of operations.
Q: It may sound ironic but come 2019 the iGaming industry is still lagging behind other entertainment industries regarding the impact that its technology has on player experience. Why?
Alessandro Fried: Technologies are the foundation of any type of gaming operation. Many established organisations in the gaming industry came to light a substantial number of years ago, and nowadays they find themselves in a position where they are operating in a market that is driven by totally different criteria from the one that characterised their initial years of operation.
Thus in the immediate future they have to take important decisions, or risk losing their current market position. It is largely a matter of fact that those larger more established bookmakers which have based their operations on legacy technology are nowadays finding themselves constrained by this kind of technology which is not only unflexible, but also inappropriate for todays’ vastly complex and constantly evolving technological generation.
Aussie Millions Update: Rainer Kempe wins again, taking down the $25k
The German Global Poker Index Player of the Year, Rainer Kempe, has won another poker tournament, this time taking down the AUD 25,000 Challenge at the Aussie Millions for more than half a million dollars.
James Victore said, “our search for security and comfort is our ruination because it makes us settle on things we don’t want, and at some point, it will break our spirit.”
Ok, no more security and comfort.
To remain one with spirit, we should evolve daily, grow incrementally, tournament by tournament, table by table, hand by hand. All of which makes the sight of Rainer Kempe winning trophy after trophy so challenging as it begins to feel like nothing changes.
