The iGaming industry has seen unprecedented growth in recent years and 2024 was no exception. Globally, the market is projected to reach $97.27 billion this year, driven by advancements in technology, greater internet accessibility, and evolving regulations. With trends like the expansion of regulated markets in Latin America and the rise of crypto as a payment option, the industry is growing at an impressive annual rate of 6.46%. This dynamic landscape has created new opportunities for operators and affiliates alike, solidifying iGaming as one of the fastest-growing digital industries worldwide.
At Income Access, none of our achievements this year would have been possible without the trust and collaboration of our clients, affiliates, and partners. Your dedication and support have been the driving force behind our successes, from product innovations to thought leadership initiatives. We’re incredibly grateful for the role each of you has played in our journey and are excited to continue building on this momentum together in 2025.
Staying Ahead of Industry Trends
This year was marked by dynamic growth, exciting trends, and numerous opportunities to connect with the global iGaming community. We attended some of the industry’s most prominent events, including ICE/iGB London, SBC Summit Rio, SBC North America, SiGMA Asia, iGB Live in Amsterdam, SBC Summit Lisbon, G2E, SBC Latinoamérica, and SiGMA Malta.
At these events, we observed key trends that are shaping the industry. For example, sweepstakes continued to grow in popularity, offering a fresh engagement model for operators and affiliates. While in Brazil, new regulations and requirements transformed the market, generating both challenges and opportunities. Crypto gaming surged as a hot topic, showcasing its potential to redefine payments and gameplay. Meanwhile, Southeast Asia emerged as a market of increasing interest, particularly for affiliates eager to tap into its burgeoning player base.
Our discussions with industry leaders consistently underscored the importance of Income Access’ tools. The growing demand for seamless tracking, insightful metrics, and scalable solutions reaffirmed our commitment to innovation.
