Top Insider Tips To Getting That iGaming Job Without Experience

Posted on 01/02/2023

Thinking of stepping into the world of iGaming? Discover some top insider tips to landing a job in this exciting industry without previous experience in the field!

  1. Research the industry — Begin your journey by researching the iGaming industry to understand its key components, including online casino, esports, and sports betting. Familiarise yourself with the key brands, current trends, and local regulations.
  2. Find a company that focuses on education Seek out education-focused companies for maximum growth opportunities. It would also be a good idea to take related courses (there are plenty online!), such as courses in compliance or marketing. Having a certificate or two under your belt is likely to give you an advantage over other applicants who have none.
  3. Seek junior positions — Check for vacancies for junior or entry-level roles, such as customer support, quality assurance, and junior graphic design positions. You are more likely to get hired for such positions without prior experience in the industry, and such roles can be a great stepping stone. Make your work noticeable to your manager, and you'll likely be well on your way to getting promoted to higher-level roles.
  4. Already had a customer support position before? — If so, you could apply for a content or product role easily. One of the strongest points to argue in your CV is that thanks to your experience in customer support, you understand the player/customer mentality and therefore, have the knowledge to do this new job well.
  5. Highlight your eagerness to learn — When applying for positions in iGaming, emphasise any transferable skills you have both in your CV and during interviews. Highlight your adaptability, stress your willingness to learn, and express your passion for the industry.
  6. Stay updated — Keep up to date on the latest industry developments by subscribing to blogs and news sources. You could even join online communities such as forums to engage in discussions and learn from others, as this knowledge will be valuable during interviews with industry professionals.
  7. Intern — Consider internships or freelance work that are as closely-related to the industry as possible. Such opportunities can provide hands-on experience and connections that may lead to full-time employment.
  8. Apply for generic roles — If you are an accountant or work in HR/office management, such roles typically don`t require previous iGaming experience and may help you get a foot in the door, and provide you with the opportunity to prove your worth.
  9. Be patient! — Considering how competitive the industry is, landing your first job in iGaming may take some time. Do not give up! Be persistent, keep applying and working on your skills and education (see point 2). Of course, take into consideration your location — you might need to relocate to areas with a higher concentration of iGaming companies.

With dedication, perseverance, and the right approach, you can successfully enter this dynamic field without previous experience in the industry. May the odds be ever in your favour!
