What are the advantages of betting on virtual sports compared with real-life sports?
Players are looking for the best way to relax and have fun, and that is what virtual sports offers them. These games offer convenience, speed and consistency – all of which are highly valued by our audience. With virtual sports, players have the freedom to place bets whenever and wherever they want, without worrying about weather, time or location. Best of all, these games are available 24/7 and are much faster than traditional sports – often finishing within just a few minutes; this means bettors can quickly see the outcomes of their wagers, making the experience all the more exciting. Additionally, virtual sports don’t require extensive knowledge or preparation, allowing players to simply unwind and enjoy the game.
How do you ensure your products are engaging and innovative?
At DS Virtual Gaming, we value our players and operators above all else. As a result of listening to their feedback, we are able to design games that captivate and engage players, and we are continuously working to develop innovative solutions that enhance our clients’ operations.
From the very beginning, we have remained committed to producing games using only the highest-quality pre-recorded videos. This approach allows us to deliver our players a level of immersion and excitement that traditional graphics cannot replicate. Our players appreciate the careful thought and attention to detail that goes into every game we create, and they recognise the complex mathematics behind it. The last year, we launched our Online Ticket Solution, which has proven to be a resounding success with operators, cashiers and players alike. With this solution, hundreds of shops can be activated in a matter of hours, streamlining the process for staff who only need to print out tickets and accept payments.
Customers enjoy complete control over their wagers and receive instant feedback on their mobile devices; this ensures a smooth and exciting gaming experience. We are always looking for new ways to push the boundaries of what is possible in our vertical, and we are excited to continue delivering immersive and unforgettable experiences to our players.
Is it difficult for virtual sports to appeal to Millennials?
Millennials, and I include myself in the group, are the digital natives; we are the first generation to have grown up with the internet, mobile phones and social media. Our lives are defined by instant results and convenience, as we can access any piece of information within milliseconds with just a click of a button. Virtual games are the perfect match for our generation as it combines speed and convenience. At DS Virtual Games, we identified this opportunity when we created our OTS, providing our players with a seamless and enjoyable gaming experience through their mobile devices, which lets them maximise their gaming enjoyment.
Which markets are most important to DS Virtual Gaming and where else are you looking to expand to?
At DS Virtual Gaming, we only operate in regulated markets. Our main focus is in Europe, Latin America and Africa, where our products are certified and we hold licences. This year, our focus remains on these three major hubs, and we are committed to maintaining a constant presence at events related to these markets. It is essential for us to stay connected with our clients and potential customers.
Our ultimate goal is to constantly innovate and improve our offerings
What are the differences in regulations between countries when it comes to virtual sports?
When it comes to virtual sports, the laws and regulations can be quite different depending on where you are. In fact, the rules can vary dramatically from one jurisdiction to the next, with some places not even recognising virtuals as a distinct category. That’s why we take a case-by-case approach, making sure we’re fully compliant before entering any market. Whether it involves applying for licences, obtaining technical certifications or simply talking with regulators, we’re committed to meeting all requirements and ensuring a smooth, successful launch.
How do you see the virtual sports industry changing over the next few months and years?
Our vertical will continue to grow in popularity. It’s exciting to think about the possibility of new virtual sports emerging or existing ones becoming even more mainstream. Our ultimate goal is to constantly innovate and improve our offerings, providing our players and partners with a truly unique and unforgettable experience. We take great pride in what we do, and we’re committed to doing everything we can to make our sector even better.
