The future of the industry

The coming years will be determined by the combination of regulatory adjustment and digitalization.

It is expected to clarify the rules for the online segment, strengthen AML/KYC and implement eKYC processes, which will increase the transparency of the cash register and reduce gray turnover.

Tourism will support the demand for live games and English-language service, and the local market - for inexpensive mobile formats with micro-rates.

The share of non-cash payments (QR, e-wallet) will grow, simplifying reporting and limits for "responsible play."

For operators, the key to sustainability is compliance, local content (cricket, cultural motives), careful marketing and partnerships with the hotel sector.

The baseline scenario is cautious GGR growth, dependent on macroeconomics and regulatory quality; accelerating factors - tax standardization, simplified licenses and player protection initiatives.
