You can click here to check it out to see how to build an online casino website for a reputable and famous casino today. This article will give you a few simple tips to get started with creating quality and stylish gambling websites of your own.

Build a good-looking and easy-to-use website layout

The current betting websites all use a lot of advertising images and sounds that confuse users, which makes players not want to return to those websites a second time. Therefore, building a website interface is extremely important. For those who are just getting started with casinos, they will love visiting websites that have a clean interface and layout so that they can quickly find the games they want and learn about the terms and conditions, and the rules of the house in a favorable way. Create the most necessary information for players as soon as they access the website, and minimize the effects of advertising and prizes to avoid distracting and distracting players. Design a simple, clear table of content and use brief descriptions to avoid wasting readers’ time and send them the most specific and concise message about each game.

The citation link is easy to see and there are always backup links

To make it more convenient for players to access the games, you should create text or icon links in subpages so that people can review or continue watching without having to use the “Back” button. or “Forward” of the browser. Also, don’t forget to use substitutions for all graphics and links in web pages to replace graphics when options in the browser are turned off or the player presses the “Stop” button before the page loads. entirety. Not only that, for gambling websites in areas where gambling has not been legalized, you should create more backup links so that players’ access is not interrupted, this will stick for a long time.

Fastest website load time possible

Don’t be afraid to invest to create your browsers that can run smoothly on all platforms, this factor is extremely important. For those who are eager to join the tables, 30 seconds in front of the screen is equivalent to 10 minutes. If you make them wait too long, players will surely leave your website mercilessly. Many designers often prefer to use graphics to decorate, to make the website more eye-catching, but that is also the reason why your products are slow to load. The best way is to use a small icon associated with the image while reminding viewers to wait. In addition, if you want to use the video and audio on the site as a sales tool, consider it carefully because not all regions or regions have high-speed ADSL or fiber-optic connections.

Building a website isn’t easy, but if you pay attention to the basics right from the start, you won’t have problems later.

25 Jan 2022 Blog

As the world enters Web 3.0, the emerging metaverse is going to challenge the way businesses currently operate and it is time for brands to reimagine their marketing strategies. Brands are increasingly recognizing the importance of having a virtual presence in the metaverse, where their customers can interact with their products in a more immersive manner than ever before. Experiences that you currently have over the internet, and many you don’t yet — will one day take place in the metaverse.

According to Sharad Agarwal, The Founder of ONLYwebinars.com, “The Web3-based Metaverse liberates users from the ‘leased’ model of Web2, and opens the doors to the ‘ownership economy’. Recent reports predict the Metaverse marketplace will top US$1.5T in less than ten years.

Gold price forecast for the second half of 2022

12 Jan 2022 Uncategorized

The gold market has been driven by the contrasting effects of persistently high inflation and central banks raising interest rates in response. With the US dollar hitting a 20-year high, gold entered the second half of 2022 with a nine-month low. In this article, we look at the recent drivers and gold price predictions from commodities analysts.

The Gold price in UAE dipped in anticipation of a 75-basis-point rate hike by the Federal Reserve in mid-June.

With the $1,700 an ounce range in sight, gold remains well below the $2,000 level seen in early March. Although a weaker US dollar is providing the commodity with some positive momentum, the fundamental reason for most analysts not having a longer-term bullish perspective on gold — rising US Treasury yields — remains intact.

What are the prospects for the gold market for the rest of the year given the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment? Should you invest in gold now?

According to experts quoted by Bloomberg, “Gold competes against the bond markets as a safe haven… a potential rate hike of 75 to 100 basis points by the [Federal Reserve] might make the bond market a little more attractive to safe-haven buyers than the gold market would normally be.”

Gold had climbed to a high of $2,043.30 at the end of Q1, a rise of almost 15% from the $1,800 level seen at the start of the year, as the Russia-Ukraine war escalated. That was close to the all-time high in dollar terms seen in August 2020 – above $2,070 – and a new record in euro terms.

The US Federal Reserve (Fed) has hiked interest rates three times so far in 2022. The Fed implemented a 25-basis-point hike in mid-March, a 50-basis-point increase on 4 May, and a 75-basis-point rise on 15 June — its biggest rate increase since 1994. Economists polled by Reuters expected the Fed to lift rates further by 75 basis points in July and 50 basis points in September. These expectations have the potential to limit the upside for the gold market soon.

A recession would be supportive to gold prices, but the sharp increase in interest rates being used to tackle inflation has so far been limiting the upside for the precious metal.

Limited market reaction to G7 ban on Russian gold imports

The Group of 7 has recently decided to ban the purchase of newly minted and refined gold from Russia, in the latest move by the US, Britain and their allies to ramp up sanctions on Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine.

“Together, the G7 will announce that we will ban the import of Russian gold, a major export that rakes in tens of billions of dollars for Russia,” US President Biden wrote on Twitter on 26 June.

The market response to the move was limited, as the gold industry had already imposed far-reaching restrictions on Russian gold since

Warren Patterson, Head of Commodities Strategy at ING Group’s research arm THINK, commented on the move in a recent note:

It appears G7 countries are set to announce a ban on Russian gold imports, which on the surface sounds significant, given that Russia is the third-largest producer globally. However, the gold industry has already largely shunned Russian gold. The London Bullion Market Association back in March already suspended the accreditation of Russian gold refiners. This would explain why we are seeing a very limited reaction in gold prices.

Gold analysis & price predictions 

Projections from several financial analysts indicate that the gold price could decline over the long term, with Australian bank ANZ projecting that gold could fall to the $1,600 level by the end of 2023.

Analysts at Arabberg.com also wrote in their recent gold investing outlook for 2022:  

“Gold outperformed other precious metals in three of the last four stock bear markets. Real interest rates will likely be negative until the end of the year, and quite possibly longer, providing a good investment environment for gold. The gold price has been trading in a broad price range for two years and will eventually break out. It is very likely to see gold testing the support level of 1680 during the third quarter of 2022. On the upside, the price will need to climb above $1,900/oz to give an initial sign that the rally has resumed.”

At the end of Q2, algorithm-based forecast site Wallet Investor was bullish in its long-term projections, indicating that the gold price could move to $1,913 by the end of 2022 and continue to rise over the next 5 years to $2,756.

When considering gold price predictions for 2022, it’s important to keep in mind that high market volatility makes it difficult to give long-term estimates. As such, analysts and algorithm-based forecasters can and do get their predictions wrong. 

We recommend that you always do your own research. Look at the latest market trends, news, technical and fundamental analysis, and expert opinion before making any investment decision. Keep in mind that past performance is no guarantee of future returns. And never invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

 

How Important Is Aesthetics In Commercial Gaming Sites?

1 Jan 2022 Blog

Anyone who has grown up with the internet and modern-day video games would find it hard to imagine the visuals that gamers were subjected to a few decades ago.

Looking at the history of computer graphics, the steady progression from monochrome games with simple pixel images to the lifelike rendered 3D visuals of today’s titles is fascinating.

Back in 1961, a small group of MIT students wanted to show off the power of the DEC PDP-1 computer. They realized something graphical would make a stronger presentation. A game seemed the obvious choice, and Spacewar! was born. Two years later, the first computer-aided design program was developed, also at MIT.

Since then, advances in processor power and teams of talented artists have helped to create games that push the limits of what is possible. This focus on strong visuals has also transferred to the internet and mobile games. Gaming website operators are fully aware of the importance of aesthetics to their users too.

Why are aesthetics important to gaming websites?

The term computer graphics didn’t come into existence until 1960, but just one year later, those MIT students had already discovered the impact a few pixel-formed images could have on an audience.

Visiting an online kaszinó will result in an array of games being displayed from blackjack to themed slots and poker tournaments. These games need to be visually appealing to draw players in. Yet there is more to the aesthetics of a gaming site than just the visual appeal.

The way the games are laid out, the quality of the graphics, and the time taken to load the site, are all critical elements. Below are some of the important aspects of gaming sites’ visual appearance, and why it is so crucial.

The overall user experience

Google understands the importance of UX when it comes to websites. So much so, that they introduced metrics to determine how good the user experience was for visitors to websites.

One of the metrics concerns the LCP or largest contentful paint. This refers to how long it takes to load the largest image (or text area) on the screen. The gaming site may have beautiful graphics, but if they aren’t optimized then the visitor may bounce.

The very first online casino licenses were handed out in 1994 in Antigua & Barbuda. A year later, the first online casino appeared. Back then graphics may not have mattered too much as there was little or no competition. Now aesthetics are vitally important, but so too is the loading time.

Aesthetically pleasing gaming sites create trust

Graphics aren’t just used to create appeal, they can also help to develop trust. A gaming site has one main purpose, and that is to make money. If quality graphic design is used then the visitor is more likely to feel that they are at a professional and trustworthy gaming site. Therefore, they will be more likely to deposit funds into the site.

One of the biggest questions asked by people considering gaming is, are online casinos fair and scam free? Cheap-looking visuals, and poorly designed games, will turn players off quickly. Modern online casinos are also understanding the value of mixing graphics with live video now and incorporating real dealers into the gameplay.

Graphics can create the illusion of winning

Two important areas for slots, whether they are online or in a brick-and-mortar gaming establishment are sight and sound. Slot machines flash, they play tunes, they make sounds to enhance different interactions, and they can have visual effects to fool the player.

Studies have shown that even when a player is losing, they can be convinced that everything is going well. This is done through areas of the slot machine flashing at certain moments. This simple visual trick can promote positive feelings in the player, even when things aren’t going well.

Strong visuals can create an immersive experience

Typically, a gaming site will feature 2D or pseudo-3D games. These range from roulette, card games, and slots, to more complex virtual games. Graphics can help to create a more immersive experience, which is why casinos are exploring VR more.

Gaming sites are available on mobile devices and PCs all over the world, but in recent times developers have been exploring the use of VR headsets too.

A virtual casino would allow the player to be fully immersed in a gaming room, and to be able to walk about and play at the different machines and tables. These casinos would be fully rendered in 3D, and be interactive.

Good layouts increase the ease of use

Aesthetics refers to areas of beauty, and appealing graphics certainly bolster these sites. But how all the elements are presented is also important.

Clear and practical design is needed for gaming sites so that the player doesn’t become confused or frustrated. The aim is to keep the visitor playing for as long as possible, and confusing layouts and unclear interfaces will lead to them bouncing.

Color plays a big part too in gaming sites

There is a tendency to picture casinos as bright and gaudy, and there is some truth in that. Traditional casinos tend to have muddled and colorful carpets along with bright lights, and flashing game machines everywhere. Online there is a need to be a little more restrained.

However, bright colors on a gaming site may have the opposite effect than in a brick-and-mortar establishment. There is a need for toning down the colors to stop the risk of eye strain which could lead to a visitor stopping play early. Well-thought-out color schemes can make the site more comfortable for longer play.

Popping visuals have their place, but contrast is needed to make certain areas of the screen stand out. Information such as the player’s balance needs to be in plain sight and very clear.

Summary

Many gaming sites choose a flat-pack construction method and buy in a suite of games. This is one of the simpler and quicker ways to create a casino website.

However, care is still needed to create an aesthetically appealing, and responsive website. Colors, slow loading times, tacky graphics, and muddled layouts, can turn a player off, and even create mistrust. After all, if poorly optimized tacky-looking graphics cause the site to lag and perform poorly, would you trust it with your money?

3 Industries That Can Be Positively Impacted By Blockchain Technology

1 Jan 2022 Blog

Blockchain technology has been theorized and used experimentally for decades, but it was in 2008, with the launch of Bitcoin, that blockchain technology started its ascent into becoming the buzzword it is today. Bitcoin’s popularity paved the way for other cryptocurrencies and non-crypto applications of blockchain technology. Here are 3 industries whose processes and operations can be significantly improved by blockchain adoption.

what is blockchain?

The simplest way to describe blockchain is as a digital ledger of records that is stored across multiple devices within a network. The blockchain platform has a security system for verifying each transaction between members of the network. Once verified, the transaction is recorded into the multiple ledgers. Each transaction is added to a ‘block’, and blocks join together into a digital information chain that is accessible to all members. Also, once a block is included, then its data cannot be changed. This system gives blockchain technology its two main selling points: transparency and security. The record is visible to all, and it can’t be changed. This is why the technology was chosen to support Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It’s also why security conscious businesses like Wildz Casino and other big online casinos are interested in incorporating blockchain in their operations. Another benefit of blockchain is that it is unregulated, there is no ‘middleman’.

blockchain and online gambling
The online gambling industry can only function when players can trust online casinos with their hard-earned money. Government regulators and private sector accrediting bodies all review a casino’s operation structure and its games to ensure that players are not being hoodwinked at every turn. Reputable brands like Wildz Casino are licensed and certified. But regulation comes with its own challenges. For starters, you could have established brands abusing their influence with regulators to hurt competitors. The regulatory and accrediting framework is also very expensive, and these costs are invariably passed on to the customer. Blockchain creates a system where each transaction can be verified to prevent fraud. Removing the middleman (regulators) also makes online gambling more affordable to players.

blockchain and charities
A funds misappropriation scandal rocks major charities every few years, almost like clockwork. This news usually leads to the public being more apathetic towards making charitable contributions since most are not very transparent as to how they spend their funds. With blockchain, charities can have a public ledger showing incoming donations and outgoing expenditure items, thus gaining the public’s trust.

blockchain and online voting
Online voting would solve many of the challenges facing the current voting system. There will be no queues. Vote counting and tallying will be done electronically, reducing delays. Also, more people will be able to access this important democratic function. But this hasn’t happened yet because even the best systems have proved vulnerable to cyberattacks. Blockchain will be able to verify that each user only votes once, and more importantly, voting data and tallying will be available publicly for transparency and security.

The final word
Blockchain’s ability to disrupt industries and processes comes from the transparency and security that it offers. If it is secure enough for cryptocurrencies on a global scale, it is good enough for most industries.

You Can Now Track Cryptocurrency Directly From Your Apple Watch

1 Jan 2022 Uncategorized

Being able to access real-time financial market data on the go has been a dream of traders and investors since the mid-20th century. To a great extent, the advent of smartphone technology and mobile broadband networks transformed this dream into reality a few years ago, but there will always be room to improve and innovate in this regard. Real-time price updates from stock exchanges can be considered one of the greatest improvements made in the history of financial technologies, but the cryptocurrency markets are even more plugged in to the digital revolution, which is why it makes perfect sense for us to check on the exchange price of tokens right from wearable devices.

Technology giant Apple is at the forefront of the wearable devices segment. Sales of the Apple Watch, a wearable device that integrates with the iPhone and the iPad, have jumped from 12.8 million in 2017 to more than 46 million. It stands to reason that many Apple Watch owners are also into cryptocurrency trading and investing, which is why apps such as Crypto Pro are rising to the top of the App Store ranks.

When the Crypto Pro app has been installed, checking the price of Bitcoin and other tokens is as simple as glancing at your wrist. Real-time pricing data is collected from reliable market sources and major cryptocurrency exchange platforms. Aside from Bitcoin, Crypto Pro can also check on the status of 5,000 other digital currencies, and relevant information is neatly packed into the compact display of the Apple Watch.

For the uninitiated, it might seem like just another gimmick on the App Store, but after spending some time with this app, it will become clear that we were not the only people who realized the need for this information right from our wrist. If you are an active Bitcoin traders, you will find a wealth of data on the Crypto Pro app, and the main information is displayed in a graphically attractive format. With other apps, you might have to tap on the time-consuming “Upcoming Events” screen first, but not so with the Crypto Pro app. The information is in our view the main reason behind the interest in the app among other users.

Crypto Pro lets you set up alerts related to the cryptocurrency tokens you are following, and these alerts can be retrieved right on the Apple Watch; however, you can also get notifications on your iPhone or iPad, where you will be able to go more in-depth with regard to fundamental data or technical analysis charts. These are all very much part of the trade and the professional side of cryptocurrency investing.

Not just users from the world of finance are now interested in checking the price of cryptocurrencies right from their wrist. Some Crypto Pro users enjoy the ability to constantly check on prices so that they can get an idea of whether they should acquire some tokens or take a position on the market. To a great extent, Crypto Pro can be a jumping-off point for Apple Watch users who have been thinking about cryptocurrency trading, but who wanted to get a more granular experience when watching the markets.

 

Your Quick Guide to Attack Surface Management

24 Dec 2021 Uncategorized

Cybercriminals are constantly finding new and creative ways to steal credit card info, passwords, and other sensitive data that they can exploit.

 

Even large companies such as Facebook, Yahoo, Alibaba, and yes, even Google, have fallen victim to cyberattacks. 

 

One of the best strategies you can employ to bolster your online cybersecurity is Attack Surface Management (ASM).

 

To better understand attack surface management, know what an attack surface is first and the type of cyber threats your attack surface is vulnerable to.

 

In this guide, we cover several tips on implementing an effective attack surface management system for your business.

What is an attack surface?

An attack surface is the number of all possible points or attack vectors that unauthorized users can use to access a system and extract data or disrupt the system in some way.

 

In layman’s terms, it is the entire area of an organization or system that is susceptible to hacking.

 

Think of an attack surface as a room with numerous windows serving as potential entry points for intruders.

 

Constantly monitoring windows for intruders is essentially similar to monitoring an attack surface. 

 

Some of the ways a hacker can access your system and expose it to a cyberattack include:

  1. Malware attack

Malicious software or malware is computer code designed to disrupt, disable, or take control of your system.

 

It comes in many forms, usually hidden in another file or disguised as a harmless app. It can compromise confidential data and prevent your system from working correctly.

 

Malware works by taking advantage of technical flaws or vulnerabilities in your hardware, Operating System (OS), and software.

  1. Phishing attack

Phishing happens when cyber criminals send fraudulent emails or text messages claiming to be from reputable companies to fool you into revealing personal information.

 

This tactic is often used to steal your user data, login credentials, credit card numbers, passwords, and more.

  1. Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack

A man-in-the-middle attack occurs when a perpetrator positions himself in the middle of a conversation between you and an application.

 

This cyberattack lets hackers steal your personal information by leading you to think that a normal information exchange is taking place.

 

You can minimize the risk of a MITM attack by ensuring the Wi-Fi networks you connect to are secure.

  1. Password attack

A password attack is one of the most common forms of corporate and personal data breach. It refers to any method used to maliciously authenticate into your password-protected accounts.

 

You can drastically minimize the chances of falling victim to a password attack by using unique, alphanumeric passwords.

 

Other basic cybersecurity practices you can follow include installing a firewall and antivirus software.

 

Also, implementing honeypots, which are basically virtual traps to lure attackers, and simply avoiding opening and responding to emails from unknown senders can go a long way in protecting you from potential cyber-attacks.

What is attack surface management (ASM)?

ASM refers to the continuous discovery, inventory, classification, prioritization, and security monitoring of external digital assets that contain, transmit, or process sensitive data.

 

Any weaknesses in your attack surface management can be exploited by hackers and can result in your company’s confidential information, including client details, being stolen, leaked, or wiped out.

 

Many large companies are now prioritizing attack surface management systems as a countermeasure to the increasing number of cyberattacks.

Cyberattacks that shaped the development of ASM

Below are a few of the cyberattacks that have affected major companies and corporations and have since helped shape the development of ASM:

Tips to create an effective attack surface management system

Your company could be vulnerable to cyberattacks without you even knowing.

 

Leverage vulnerability scanning and penetration testing by using a reliable breach and attack simulation platform to strengthen your cybersecurity.

 

Attack Surface Management services can perform these tasks for you, find and address potential weaknesses in your system, and protect you from future cyberattacks.

 

Maintaining a complete inventory of your company’s Internet-facing assets can also give you a deeper understanding of your attack surface.

 

By following the tips below, you’ll be well on your way to creating an effective attack surface management system for your business:

 

  • Get a complete inventory of the internet-facing assets connected to the company infrastructure.
  • Find subdomains and other connected assets easily with discovery tools.
  • A complete inventory lets you leverage technology fingerprinting to understand the risks and values of these assets.  This allows you to get a clear picture of what an asset does.
  • Track your attack surface as it evolves and set up regular monitoring for assets.
