The growing popularity of 5G mobile games and progressive web applications

05.11.2024
In recent years, mobile games, including casino games, have become increasingly popular among users. With an income share of 18.9%, they occupy a leading position in the entertainment industry. 🤳🏼 One of the key factors contributing to this growth is the introduction of new technologies such as 5G and Advanced Web applications (PWA).
The introduction of 5G technology is significantly changing the landscape of mobile gaming, offering higher connection speeds and minimal delays, which creates a more exciting gaming experience.

According to a report from Ericsson, 5G is revolutionizing the gaming industry, opening up new horizons for virtual reality that were previously unavailable. This technology also improves real-time interaction and collaboration in virtual environments, which in turn improves the quality of gameplay. Now real-time casino games, sports events and auctions can work efficiently on powerful servers, providing video and audio streaming without delays with a stable 5G connection.

Progressive Web applications (PWA) are also becoming popular in the mobile gaming industry. PWA combines the advantages of native mobile and web applications, providing an excellent user experience (UX). 🔥Major iGaming players such as Bet365 and William Hill have already implemented PWA, demonstrating their effectiveness in providing quality service. Using PWA can increase the number of transactions with low fees, guarantee the confidentiality and anonymity of users, and offer better coefficients and profitability.

According to the Facts Factors report, the global market for progressive web applications in 2019 amounted to about $ 1,100 million. Forecasts show that by 2026 this market will grow to about $ 7,600 million, with an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 34% between 2020 and 2026.

Thus, the combination of 5G technologies and progressive web applications creates new opportunities for casino games on mobile platforms. These innovations improve the user experience and, accordingly, contribute to the significant growth of the iGaming market, which opens up prospects for the further development of our dynamic industry.
