hinking about starting a career in iGaming but unsure where to start?
Most people don’t realise what a powerful career choice iGaming can be. The assumption many make is that working in iGaming is only for those who want to work in the casino industry. Although, of course, it is a great starting point for those people as well, iGaming is an overlooked opportunity to boost a multitude of different types of careers. There are many benefits to iGaming: it requires very little experience to start with, it has the potential to move up the ranks quickly, it pays well, and it can be incredibly rewarding! Not only are the people that work in iGaming some
of the kindest and most passionate people you’ll meet, but they’re also a very diverse pool of workers that have so much knowledge to share. There are many facets to the industry that can educate you about almost any skill you desire, as long as you put effort into pursuing it and especially if you find a mentor who will give you an extra helping hand. This is particularly true of the many startup companies that have arisen in iGaming. Startups often have a small pool of employees, which makes for more of a “community” feeling, but with more of a demanding workload as well. Although this can be stressful at times, it will encourage and challenge you to grow in ways you
might never have expected. You may be asked to fill multiple roles in these smaller companies as they find their footing, learn the market, and eventually add employees to the team. This exciting environment is the perfect place to gain a great deal of resume-building experience and try out many areas of interest. Meanwhile, larger, stock-listed companies are a bit harder to break into. And, once you do, it will be more challenging to rise through the ranks. Your career within the business will be more focused and less demanding overall, additionally, it will likely be more secure, as a larger company will not face as many challenges and will be more solid in the market compared to a start-up.
