New initiatives, platforms, and KYC procedures - to name only a few - serve as a testimonial of both the mature and nascent nature of the iGaming industry. In such a versatile, innovative, and experience-led environment of online gambling, players enjoyed not only increased chances but also improved levels of protection and responsibility. Technology advances enabled multi-channel integration, in addition to mandatory mobile devices availability, while live dealer streaming rejuvenated the table games. Software providers unleashed an extraordinary level of creativity that resulted in new releases and cross-over between games on pace with the inexorable super-fast tempo of our contemporary lives. Increased awareness to regulate gambling just as any other human proclivity led to comprehensive legalization efforts around the world, particularly in the United States. For all the Sturm und Drang of iGaming and sports betting, 2019 was quite a year.
