We hope you stuck with us throughout our iGaming blogs this week! In the fifth installment of our iGaming solutions series, we dive into how operators can empower players to control over their own bandwidth consumption and experience, which is crucial in burgeoning iGaming markets including South America, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East and Turkey.
Enhancing the Player Experience Through Adaptive Streaming Solutions
In the competitive world of online gaming, player experience is everything. Today's iGaming operators face a crucial challenge: delivering high-quality, real-time video streams while accommodating players with varying network conditions and data constraints. At Phenix, we're addressing this challenge head-on with our latest streaming innovation.
Our solution builds upon Phenix's existing Adaptive Bitrate Video delivery technology, which automatically optimizes stream quality based on real-time network conditions. This new capability takes player control even further, enabling iGaming operators to offer viewers explicit choice in their streaming experience. By providing multiple stream options, operators can now support players regardless of their network situation or data limitations.
Empowering Players with Choice
Consider a player on a metered mobile data plan enjoying live roulette or blackjack. With our adaptive streaming solution, they can opt for a bandwidth-efficient stream that uses approximately 70% less data than standard FHD streams. In practical terms, this means:
- Standard FHD stream: ~1.3 GB per hour of play
- Bandwidth-efficient stream: ~374 MB per hour of play
This significant reduction in data consumption allows players to extend their gaming sessions without worry about exceeding their data caps.
Real Business Impact
For operators, this flexibility translates directly to business value:
- Increased player retention through longer, uninterrupted gaming sessions
- Broader market reach by accommodating players with varying network conditions
- Enhanced player satisfaction through personalized streaming options
- Reduced player churn due to connection or data-related issues
The Phenix Difference
This capability is part of our comprehensive iGaming solution that delivers sub-500ms latency at scale – ensuring that whether players choose standard or bandwidth-efficient streams, they still enjoy the real-time experience that's critical for live gaming.
Our platform handles these different stream renditions while maintaining the reliability and synchronization that iGaming operators depend on, proving once again why Phenix is the trusted choice for operators who refuse to compromise on player experience.
