Other countries are likely to adopt the UKGC’s example. Romania, Bulgaria and other tech hubs of Eastern Europe have opened physical offices, while still allowing for remote working within their countries. Cohort Teams, which provides turnkey scalable teams, is gaining in popularity. Malta and Gibraltar are major hubs with stable activity.
North America
Many people were excited about the possibility of several states legalising an online casino this year. Only Rhode Island passed the law, increasing the number of states that are legal to igame. Rhode Island will go live with igaming in April 2024. Ontario’s legislation from last year has made it a very competitive market.
Asia

The ability to source remote talent and seamlessly integrate into the system is still viable.
