The iGaming industry is one of the fastest-growing in the world, so it is no wonder so many people are interested in finding jobs in the sector.
Working in the world of iGaming is a dream for a lot of people, with the industry extremely attractive to a range of individuals.
Here are four of the top reasons people want to pursue a career in the iGaming industry.
Various job opportunities
While some sectors have quite a narrow range of positions within them, this is certainly not the case when it comes to iGaming.
Jobs opportunities in the iGaming sector include everything from roles in PPC, customer relationship management, affiliate marketing, risk management and SEO.
Once a person has got a job in iGaming it is relatively easy to switch jobs within the industry too, giving it a level of flexibility that is simply not seen in a lot of other sectors.
Despite 2020 being an extremely tough year for the job market overall due to the coronavirus crisis, new positions continue to be opened up in the world of iGaming too.
Furthermore, a lot of iGaming jobs can be performed from home without too many difficulties, which could be good news in the post-pandemic world.
All this means that iGaming is a very exciting sector to be working in right now and will continue to be for many years to come in the future too.
Good pay
The iGaming industry is known around the world for its generous salaries, which will without a doubt be one of the key factors that attracts people to try to find jobs in the sector.
As stated in the recently released Boston Link iGaming Salary Survey, which focused on Malta, pay in the industry has been shown to be up by more than 10 per cent year on year.
Tom Smelt, head of iGaming recruitment at Boston Link, explained in an interview with Yogonet that there is now a bigger talent pool for companies in the industry to choose from.
“Decrease in revenues and profit margins mean companies are more aware of their bottom line. It is more important for companies to keep a closer eye on the numbers,” he said. “However the caveat is that there is an increase in demand for more specialist roles and a greater need for lawyers, regulatory compliance and finance.”
As the iGaming industry continues to mature in the coming years, pay should rise even more.
Strong perks and benefits
A variety of roles and good pay is a solid place to start, but jobs in the iGaming industry are known for providing a strong array of benefits and perks as well.
