As we look ahead to 2026, the iGaming landscape is evolving rapidly. A recent analytical report by 01.tech and G GATE MEDIA addresses crucial questions about where to invest and where to tread carefully.
Where to Expand?
Mexico, Malaysia, and Poland are showing the best growth dynamics in their respective regions. However, the reasons for this growth vary significantly across these GEOs.
Where to Exit?
India is experiencing a decline in both users and revenue, while Colombia is stagnating. Additionally, several European countries are facing high tax burdens that are eroding profit margins.
What Traffic Sources Are Effective?
Facebook continues to be a key traffic source, with SEO and ASO being the most sought-after strategies.
Is Cryptocurrency the New Standard?
This largely depends on the GEO. In Russia, it is foundational; in Europe, it serves as an offshore marker; and in Africa, it complements mobile wallets.
What About Regulation?
Governments are increasingly avoiding direct actions against operators. The new trend is to exert pressure through banks, payment systems, and advertising platforms.
