"The stronger regulation of traditional casinos will also attract new operators to the crypto niche. We'll see active growth in this segment as most current leaders will join the niche. We can highlight what you need to launch a successful crypto project based on our experience: crypto processing such as Coinspaid, crypto exchange services, and the in-game currency conversion for a wider selection of game content. However, new needs are already emerging. For instance, using NFTs to gamify the player experience and build a community of like-minded people around online casinos," summarized Andrey Starovoitov, COO at SOFTSWISS.
