iGaming Weekly | Jun. 17, 2024

Another week of apparent "so-over" and "so-back" has passed in crypto, although some are predicting a global market collapse and others a golden bull run during the summer, one thing is clear, gambling is here to stay. With the arrival of the Euro 2024 competition (and Scotland's landslide loss...), we can expect to see a rush of sports book promotions from your favourite operators. As always, operators who spent the extra time and resources implementing custom solutions will have much more freedom to create interesting and attractive campaigns in comparison to third-party implementations. Tanzanite will monitor this closely and will complete a full analysis of the data after the Euro's to compare operator performance. If you'd be interested in receiving a copy of this report, please reach out and let us know.
