👋Introduction

In both Web2 and Web3, The iGaming industry has been stuck in a stagnant cycle that no one seems eager to change. For over a decade, online casinos have offered the same generic experience, leaving innovation behind. The result is a dull, repetitive landscape that fails to excite or engage modern players. When everything looks the same, standing out captures attention - it’s time to Play Different with WAIGER.

In the current meta, players sign up, deposit and access the same selection of games like Casino, Slots and Sportsbook that every other casino provides. Nearly 99% of the game content comes from the same few industry giants such as Evolution Gaming, NetEnt and Pragmatic Play. The majority of operators and games are all targeting the same TAM, with little effort to break out into other audience groups to attract modern players and reach mass adoption.

Casinos continue to lean on outdated reward systems like Rakeback and loyalty points. While effective in their own right, these methods are over 20 years old and no longer act as a unique differentiator in player retention. Existing models are overly focused on acquiring players without a unique retention edge. WAIGER has the answers.

Many traditional casinos are simply offering crypto as deposit methods, and new Web3 casino projects are coming to market with bold claims of how they are different and unique… changing the ‘GambleFi’ industry, building on-chain, sharing revenues with players, etc. WAIGER takes many of the philosophical tenets of these projects and bakes it directly into the gameplay & ecosystem to provide an experience that allows players to Play Different.

Throughout this whitepaper we will demonstrate how WAIGER is addressing the following:

• Proprietary content is King

• Players need a user experience they can’t find anywhere else

• Rakeback programs are outdated

• PVP and social engagement will change the industry

• There are untapped markets of potential players

• Web3 will play a crucial role if done properly

• Free-to-play can be effectively monetized
