The term ‘iGaming’ originated in North America, but the product has become a household name in Asian and European countries. iGaming refers to any kind of online game that involves online betting, where winning depends on the outcome of the game or event.
The term is most commonly used by gamblers across the globe who want to enjoy the thrill of winning and earning money online by trying out their luck. The online betting and casino industry has slowly gained momentum in India and other Asian countries after becoming a crucial part of the European economy.
