    The ubiquitous internet in North America has revolutionized the betting industry, propelling the demand for online betting. The ongoing pandemic has encouraged betting enthusiasts to use online betting platforms to avoid crowding at physical betting sites and ensure social distancing. Several bettors still prefer playing at land-based casinos as they provide opportunities to socialize. Gambling at an online casino offers minimal social experience compared to offline betting as live games enable players to physically interact with bettors & dealers.

    Cloud providers offer unlimited computing and storage capabilities to online gambling companies. The benefits associated with potential cost-savings in maintaining, managing, and hosting infrastructure are encouraging sports betting providers to migrate to cloud services. For example, Bet365 Group Ltd. has implemented a private cloud that enables the market player to provide an in-play betting system, allowing punters to place bets during a match on real-time information. It also enables the company to store and process customer data with reduced latency.

    COVID-19 Impact Analysis

    The Europe online gambling market experienced a significant hit during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ongoing pandemic has caused many sports leagues to shut down.

In March 2020, it was observed that only 0.2% of all the adults interviewed started to play compared to 2% of adults who stopped playing.

    Gambling operators indicated a 5% decrease between March and April 2020 driven by the cancellation of real sporting events. In June 2020, GVC Holdings PLC reported a 50% decline in the UK retail net gambling revenue due to government-imposed lockdown on brick-and-mortar stores between March and June 2020. According to H2 Gambling Capital, a betting and gaming consultancy, COVID-19 can lead to a decline of up to 8% in the global gambling sector.

    Online gambling collects massive information and data that helps bookmakers to provide better products, enhancing legal betting.

Data including the number of rebounds, blocks & turnovers, 3-pointers, and game scores from the past performance are used by these algorithms for predictive analysis.

For instance, in September 2020, FanDuel, Inc. signed a one-year partnership agreement with Simplebet, an AI company, for allowing customers to predict and to wager on quick odds during the 2020 NFL season. The technology uses machine learning to generate fast betting opportunities throughout a sporting event.
