Bracing the challenges

We all should thank technology for evolving betting platform to this extent. Everything gets easier and better, far exceeds our expectation. Thanks to technology, now everyone can bet from anywhere and at any time. However, technology is not something that stays at one point. It evolves. It exists to bring humanity to a better level. Just like today when virtual reality becomes trend at every corner at the world.

 

Virtual Reality Betting?

Virtual Reality (VR) is not a new technology actually. Since many years ago, many companies have begun developing this technology. It is only these recent years that this technology has finally found its large user base. More and more companies, service providers, even game developers sync their products with Virtual Reality. That makes me question one thing, will betting finally turned into virtual reality some day?

Virtual Reality basically offers a live experience of something as if you are inside the system. You can interact with the whole system as if you are actually in there. In betting, this is basically the same thing that live betting offers, like M88 live betting. Live betting feature allows bettors to ‘enter a real casino’ and play in it, without actually visiting the casino. This is possible using live feed technology. Now, let’s compare it to Virtual Technology. If this technology is applied to betting platform, not only it will offer bettors to play in the virtual casino, but also personally play with the cards. Bettors will be able to interact personally with every object in the virtual casino, even walking around. VR will bring the casino and everything in it to bettors. This is something even live betting can’t give to you. In live betting, bettors can only sit at one place where the camera is. Unless the camera is moved around, the player will not able to do anything, but betting.

 

The future?

Will Virtual Reality actually become the future of betting platform? Well, if everything goes following today’s trend, there is no doubt that Virtual Reality will come to betting industry. We can even tell that it is high likely that betting platforms are experiencing on this platform until it is ready to be launched. However, since this technology requires special gear, perhaps the VR feature (if available) will be only available to select players. That not only will increase the minimum betting cost, but also makes betting more exclusive to certain groups of players, those who can only afford the VR device. Somehow, it ‘violates’ the very dream of bringing VR into this industry: bet from anywhere, at any time. Well, that’s the reason we name it as the challenge, something we should fix immediately. It is our dream.
