Esports betting and casino industry on a path to be sustainable

We’re used to hearing a lot about sustainability lately, and most businesses take it as a badge of honor. While it’s easy to understand when a company from a traditional industry talks about its carbon footprint or manufacturing with the help of renewable energy, something like esports and casinos might seem abstract and harder to understand in terms of sustainability.

Traditional industries have visible supply chains. You can see factories and transportation methods. In tech, much happens behind the scenes. Software development, for example, is intangible. Its environmental impact is not immediately clear. Data centers, essential for tech operations, consume vast amounts of energy. Their carbon footprint is substantial. Not only that, but chip manufacturing and their actual usage also consume a significant amount of energy. For example, one study has found that manufacturing and transport of a popular gaming console produces almost 90 kg of carbon. Energy use in tech is not just about consumption but also about sources. Tech firms may claim green energy use but verifying these claims can be tricky. It's a complex market with limited transparency. Of course, it would be irresponsible to say going green is not possible for tech firms, esports betting and casinos included.

A solution to a Complex Problem? Simple Steps

It’s the simple steps for esports betting and the casino industry. First and the obvious - to adopt green practices. For physical locations, this includes anything from solar panels on the roofs to low-flow faucets and LED lighting. Waste management is critical. Casinos generate large amounts of waste. Recycling programs can mitigate this. Composting food waste from restaurants is also effective. Partnerships with green organizations can help both industries. Working with environmental groups can provide valuable insights. It also shows a commitment to sustainability.

Online Casinos as a Perfect Case Study

The online casino industry is a perfect case study for sustainable practices. These businesses can adopt eco-friendly practices more easily than their physical counterparts. The reason is obvious - by operating entirely online, there’s no need for physical facilities. This also means fewer people traveling to physical locations, reducing transportation-related emissions. Most online platforms also offer virtual customer support. This eliminates the need for physical call centers. It reduces energy usage and supports remote work, further decreasing the environmental impact.

Another part of it is the nature of casino games. They simply don’t require that much computing power compared to video games. GPU chips are incredibly energy-hungry, especially when they do a lot of computing, sucking electricity at an incredible rate. While brands like Rizk offer hundreds and hundreds of casino games, even the most graphically advanced titles are nowhere near the computing requirements of modern AAA games. On top of that, online casinos often utilize cloud computing. This helps to optimize energy use. Cloud servers are typically more energy-efficient than traditional data centers.

Esports Betting on the Right Path

Esports betting platforms (or betting for that matter) are often tied with online casino platforms, meaning they can adopt the same sustainability practices in one go. Most of these platforms don’t have their own data centers, which gives them the flexibility to choose those server companies that are partially powered by renewable energy. Technology optimization is something these platforms take very seriously, and efficient coding practices mean their systems use less energy. Partnerships play a crucial role too. Esports betting platforms collaborate with eco-friendly organizations. These partnerships can lead to joint projects that benefit the environment. For example, Playing4theplanet is one of those initiatives that proves gaming and sustainability can work together.

One thing is especially important – transparency. It is a key in these efforts. Platforms need to openly share their sustainability goals and achievements. This in turn builds trust and encourages more sustainable practices across the industry. Hopefully, that is the future.
