Elsewhere in this issue you’ll find our ‘New to the Market’ feature covering the launch of a new casino comparison website. Founder and managing director, Martyn Hannah highlights the new website as a “contender” in the casino comparison space so it is definitely one to look out for. We also spoke to Endorphina about the business’ plans and goals for 2024.
Later in this issue, we’ve included key insights from PXP Financial in our ‘Trend Talks’ feature. The iGaming sector is ever-changing and striving to stay ahead is more important than ever before. In this article, you’ll find all of the upcoming trends you need to know about. One key trend highlighted by PXP Financial is the role of AI in the iGaming space. The growth of AI is exponential and operators must optimise their use of technology. Andy Mace, head of casino personalisation at Vaix, elaborates on this in a great article on the use of AI-driven personalisation tools.
