The Biggest Upcoming Changes in the Online Gambling Industry
The online gambling industry has undergone some major changes in the last few years, but it seems like it’s been a while since we saw the introduction of any game-changing features. That could be set to change though, as there are some promising features on the horizon.
More Cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies are set to dominate the online gambling industry. Not only are they quicker, easier, and more accessible, but they don’t have any merchant fees, either.
This might not sound like a big deal considering they don’t typically charge you to deposit, but it could have a knock-on effect. It means sites will be able to offer bigger and better bonuses, such as the massive BetMGM casino bonus code or the many loyalty promotions available elsewhere.
It could also reduce the minimum deposit and withdrawal size.
Choose a Bet/Request-a-Bet Features
Live betting was a huge innovation for the sports betting industry but choose/request-a-bet features could be even better.
These features are already common throughout Europe and have been utilized effectively by many of the betting brands now operating in the US, including William Hill.
Simply put, these features allow you to request bets through email, contact forms, and social media. You can also use them to create your own in-game Parlay wagers. We’re not seeing these features in the US just yet, but that should change pretty soon.
More Immersion
Live Casino gaming is huge right now and its growth has been steady and certain for a number of years. It’s something that seems to attract most players and keeps them immersed, engaged, and happy.
As a result, it’s still growing and casinos are sinking huge sums of money into it. Live Casino gaming pits players against real dealers on real tables. They still play from the comfort of their own homes, but everything happens virtually.
Not only will we continue to see growth in this sector, but it may also incorporate virtual reality and/or augmented reality.
In other words, you could slip on a headset and enter a virtual casino. You can turn over cards with your hands, move chips around, and even engage with the dealers and other players. We have the technology to make this happen, it’s just a little clunky and requires heavy headsets.
The Online Takeover
Despite the prevalence of online casino and sportsbook gambling, the offline gambling industry is still much bigger. In fact, the difference is pretty immense, although it’s getting much smaller with each passing year.
Within the next decade or so, that should change. Many players are moving from offline casinos to online casinos. They prefer the convenience of playing at home or on their commute and as they tend to play more often and spend more freely, operators also prefer them.
That doesn’t mean that offline casinos will go away, but that they will become more online-focused, such as by giving players access to mobile casino apps as soon as they walk through the doors.

N1 Partners exclusive collaborations at iGB L!VE 2026
One of the main events at the N1 Partners booth on July 1 will be an art performance with the participation of Clym Evernden, a BAFTA Award winner known for his collaboration with fashion brands Tiffany & Co., Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Vogue, Diptyque, and Hermes.
Within the framework of iGB L!VE, the artist will create a large-scale artwork in his signature continuous line technique. Guests of the stand will be able to watch the process in real time as well as receive signed postcards and the author’s sketches.
N1 Partners has also prepared an exclusive limited-edition collection with Clym Evernden, which will be included in a select series of gifts for partners.
Another premiere will be a collectible toy created in collaboration with Yoomoota, an art project by artist and designer Taras Yoom, winner of the A’ Design Award and the Good Design Award. His work has been exhibited at PAD London, Art Miami, and the Red Dot Museum and has been featured in Forbes, Hypebeast, Vice, Elle Decor, and Designboom.
Scale sports traffic with N1 Sport Promo

The N1 Partners booth will be a visual continuation of N1 Duality. The space will combine business communication, creative activations, and interactive mechanics, reflecting the idea of finding new opportunities through a combination of different approaches and views.
One of the central mechanics will be the interactive DICE game with the opportunity to win instant prizes and limited gifts from N1 Partners.

N1 Brand Series: N1 Bet — Player Profile & GEOs

In this episode let’s look inside N1 Bet: its core strengths, audience specifics, and approaches to improving traffic efficiency. In addition, the team has prepared a traffic setup for N1 Sport Promo, a new promotion aligned with the upcoming high-intensity sports season and FIFA 2026.
Within the campaign running from June 10 to July 20, partners will be able to earn additional bonuses for high-quality sports and prediction traffic, increasing their potential rewards alongside the number of acquired FTDs.
N1 Bet: Product breakdown
N1 Bet combines classic sports betting, casino, and Prediction Markets into a single product, offering users a wide variety of markets, an intuitive interface, fast onboarding, and attractive promotional mechanics designed to boost engagement.

- Brand name: N1 Bet
- GEOs: AU, NZ, AT, DE, CA, CH, IE, NO, IT
- Main verticals: Casino, betting, prediction markets
- Target audience: Users aged 25-55 interested in online casinos, slots, and live games, oriented toward a fast and seamless gaming experience.
- User value: Ease of use, fast access to games, bonuses, and promotional mechanics
- Features/advantages: Simple and fast registration flow, smooth UX, wide selection of slots and live games, fast deposits/withdrawals, and regular promotions.
- Reg2Dep:
PPC: 40–60%
FB: 22–30%
SEO: 40–45%
- Retention Rate: 25–35%
- LTV: up to €1500
Player’s portrait
N1 Bet audience is primarily composed of Tier-1 GEO users, which directly influences their behaviour and expectations toward the product. From a payment behaviour perspective, Tier-1 audiences demonstrate a higher average deposit compared to Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets, especially in Australia, New Zealand, and the DACH region.
Another key product characteristic is strong mobile dominance. On average, 87% of active users play from mobile devices. In English-speaking GEOs, this share is even higher:
- AU — 95%
- NZ — 96%
- CA — 95%
In practice, this is mostly a mobile-only audience. In the DACH region, mobile traffic is also dominant, although desktop still retains a presence:
- DE — 89% mobile
- AT — 91% mobile
Peak player activity occurs in the evening — from 19:00 to 23:00 local time.
Player characteristics by GEO
Austria
- A premium audience segment.
- 91% of users play on mobile devices.
- High interest in slots, especially classic titles such as Legacy of Dead and Book of Ra.
- Higher rates with fewer deposits.
- Behavior is close to a VIP segment.
Germany
- Also a premium segment.
- 89% mobile traffic, while maintaining a noticeable desktop share.
- The most balanced mix of slots, live casino, and sportsbook.
- Slots share is lower than in other GEOs, but classic slots remain in demand.
Australia
- 95% mobile users.
- High average revenue per user.
- Main interest focused on slots and crash games.
- Branded games, including Chicken Road 2 x N1 Bet, are among the most popular products.
Canada
- 95% mobile audience.
- Average ARPPU is comparable to Australia.
- Gaming behaviour is mostly slot-oriented.
- High interest in branded content.
- Lower sensitivity to bonus offers compared to other markets.
New Zealand
- The most mobile-driven audience — 96%.
- Lower ARPPU and average bet size.
- The only GEO with a consistently high share of live casino activity — 17% to 56% vs 10-22% in other markets.
- The most diverse gameplay behavior overall.
New players’ behavior
New user behaviour largely depends on traffic source:
- Facebook Crash campaigns — users start with crash games (Chicken Road, Aviator, etc.) and then gradually move into slots.
- Facebook Slots campaigns — users immediately engage with slots without switching categories.
- PPC — most common mix: slots + live casino.
- Influence — mixed interest across slots, crash games, and live casino.
- SEO — primarily focused on slots and live games.
General trends
- Slots remain the main driver of new player activity, accounting for 60–80% of playtime (higher in AT and AU, lower in DE and CA).
- Crash games work extremely well as a primary conversion tool, especially for Facebook traffic.
- Live casino becomes more popular after the 2nd–3rd deposit, especially among users from DACH and NZ.
High-LTV Player Behavior
High lifetime value players are not characterised by single large deposits but by consistent product engagement:
- more than 4 active gaming sessions per week;
- use of multiple verticals simultaneously (slots + live, slots + sportsbook, sportsbook + prediction markets);
- active participation in VIP and loyalty programs;
- use of cashback and loyalty systems instead of bonus hunting;
- strong interest in new providers, tournaments, and product updates;
- stable deposit patterns without sharp promo-driven spikes;
- engagement in onsite activities (tournaments, bonus shop) and CRM communications.
This category of users forms the most stable and long-term LTV for partners.
Top 3 Working Funnels for N1 Bet
Funnel 1
This funnel is designed for a broad audience and performs well due to a simple and clear message. The main focus is the ability to start with a small amount and potentially win big. This approach helps maintain a low FTD cost and quickly scale traffic volume.
- Traffic source: Facebook
- GEO: AU
- Page type: PWA
- Audience: Men and women 25+
- Approach: The creative is based on a dynamic video. It starts with a stack of cash in front of a smartphone or computer screen, then shifts to gameplay featuring slots, bonuses, and winning combinations. A voiceover explains the low entry threshold, easy start, and the ability to play directly from a smartphone. The main goal is to create a sense of accessibility and highlight potential winnings.
- Why it works: Users immediately see core triggers — money, wins, and a low entry barrier. The funnel appeals to the desire for fast results with minimal investment.
- Key funnel element: Slots and PWA
- Performance indicators: CPC, FTD cost, and average player value
- Scaling method: Duplication of successful ad campaigns
- Risks/limitations: May attract lower-quality traffic
- Common mistakes: Launching too many campaigns at once with high budgets
- Expert note: This funnel should be scaled gradually. The best approach is to start with a single campaign and allow algorithms to gather sufficient data. If stable FTD and average value metrics are achieved over several days, scaling should be done through duplication rather than abrupt budget increases.
Funnel 2
This approach can attract higher-quality audiences thanks to a combination of a recognizable influencer, a real casino environment, and a native-style product presentation. When executed properly, it can maintain an acceptable FTD cost while bringing in users with strong long-term engagement potential.
- Traffic source: Facebook
- GEO: AU
- Page type: PWA
- Audience: Men and women 25+
- Approach: The creative features a well-known influencer inside a physical casino. They play a slot, share their experience, show bet sizes and winnings. The atmosphere is important: other casino visitors react emotionally, creating a sense of real entertainment and leisure. The entire video is positive and demonstrates that this experience is accessible to anyone.
- Why it works: Users see a familiar face and recognizable environment, which increases trust in the ad.
- Key funnel element: Creative and PWA
- Performance indicators: CPC and FTD cost
- Scaling method: Duplication of working campaigns
- Risks/limitations: Improper scaling may significantly increase FTD cost
- Common mistakes: Rapid budget increases instead of gradual scaling
- Expert note: This funnel often delivers higher-quality audiences compared to standard gaming creatives. However, scaling should be done carefully. If performance is stable, it is better to increase volume gradually through duplication while keeping winning campaign settings.
Funnel 3 (for N1 Sport Promo traffic)
During the N1 Sport Promo campaign, sports traffic funnels become especially important.
Below is an approach that can perform well during the FIFA World Cup 2026.
- Traffic source: Facebook Ads
- GEO: Canada
- Page type: PWA with content tailored to a specific World Cup match
- Audience: Men 25–45 interested in football, sports betting, sports news, and international tournaments. Focus is on users actively following the World Cup, discussing matches, and looking for predictions.
- Approach: The creative is built in a news or analytical format centered around a specific World Cup match. It includes predictions, team statistics, starting lineups, injury updates, team form, and expected outcomes. The content must be tightly linked to an upcoming match or trending topic actively discussed by the audience.
- Why it works: Users engage with content they are genuinely interested in. Instead of a standard betting ad, they receive relevant match insights and become part of the analysis process. The high interest in the World Cup enables broader reach and high-quality sports traffic.
- Key funnel element: Creative relevance and match context
- Performance indicators: High CTR, strong registration conversion, and high percentage of users placing bets after registration
- Scaling method: Continuous creation of new creatives for each match day, teams, popular fixtures, and trending tournament news
- Risks/limitations: Creatives quickly lose relevance and require constant updates
- Common mistakes: Using generic sports creatives without match context, scaling too early, and failing to update after the news cycle ends
- Expert note: During the World Cup, funnels built around specific matches or teams perform best. Users respond more strongly to events happening today or tomorrow than to generic sportsbook ads. Fast content updates and relevance are key success factors.
Final Takeaways
N1 Bet consistently performs well across Tier-1 markets when using the right approach. Simple gaming creatives drive volume, influencer-based funnels improve traffic quality, and sports-driven funnels effectively capitalize on major event interest.
With the right strategy, N1 Bet remains a strong product both for scaling volume and for working with high-quality audiences.
