There are, of course, other factors at play, but the simple truth is that since the advent of online betting and mobile betting, the industry has simply exploded. It was already huge, to begin with, of course, so that puts the magnitude of this expansion in perspective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But how exactly is all this new technology helping the gambling industry?

But when it comes to betting and gambling, there\u2019s really no escaping the impact it has had. Even back when mobile betting was in its infancy, the ability to bet as a game or event went along was revolutionary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speed and latency, though, have been issues in the past. Mobile service wasn\u2019t always as fast as we could need it to be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, though, 4G is more or less fully implemented. Everyone has super high-speed mobile data with which to bet live on games and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betfree.ie\/horse-racing-betting\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">betting events like racing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or football. Now, as we move on into even faster 5G, this technology is only going to continue helping make live betting faster.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it\u2019s not just the networks that are faster.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Faster devices\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smartphones have been on the market for well over a decade now, but they weren\u2019t universally adopted right away. Once they became more widely used, the chips and processors that went into mobile phones became more and more sophisticated as more manufacturers worked on making them more efficient and cheaper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because when you are using an app to bet live on an event, the network isn\u2019t the only thing that matters. If your device can\u2019t process the data quickly enough, you\u2019re going to get left behind as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, the development of faster and more affordable smartphones has given almost everyone accesses to more or less instantaneous live betting. This, naturally, has helped the industry attract a lot more consumers and driven its growth to a much wider audience. Around <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/203734\/global-smartphone-penetration-per-capita-since-2005\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">78%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the world\u2019s population now own a smartphone or device.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional, in-house betting, whether at bookmakers, a casino, or anything, hasn\u2019t always been inviting to everyone. With fast devices and fast networks for live betting, many of those people have been brought into the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scoopbyte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cropped-1605506518RTS3B173-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11005\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scoopbyte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cropped-1605506518RTS3B173-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"593\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scoopbyte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cropped-1605506518RTS3B173-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scoopbyte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cropped-1605506518RTS3B173-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.scoopbyte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cropped-1605506518RTS3B173-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.scoopbyte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cropped-1605506518RTS3B173-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.scoopbyte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cropped-1605506518RTS3B173-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.scoopbyte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cropped-1605506518RTS3B173-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scoopbyte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cropped-1605506518RTS3B173-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.scoopbyte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cropped-1605506518RTS3B173-1392x783.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>VR<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VR is still very much an up-and-coming technology, but it has made huge leaps in recent years. It has still not been broadly adopted by the public, and there are large question marks as to whether it ever will.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, it has clear and obvious applications for the betting industry that has helped to gamble. One of the broader points about online betting is that it is far more accessible via online devices, and VR helps this even further.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VR casinos can make the player feel as though they really are out at a casino, and bring an aspect of it to them they might not otherwise experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The issue of accessibility is certainly one of the most significant parts of online advancement, and VR is a big help in that arena.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What has become clear over the years is that most industries need to embrace developing technology if they want to survive. This has looked very different for many different industries, but for betting it\u2019s been clear that it\u2019s adapt or get left behind. But it\u2019s easy to see why the technologies are so appealing for the industry: they simply make betting easier in more or less every way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you look at the state of the gambling industry today, one thing becomes immediately clear: its growth is being driven by technology.
