Nanocosmos collaborates closely with iGaming providers worldwide to integrate the nanoStream Cloud, a real-time video streaming solution, achieving content delivery in less than one second. This includes target countries in South America and games such as baccarat, roulette, blackjack, and bingo, but also microbetting and other interactive use cases. The company provides more details about this solution in a special article.
The list of providers using nanocosmos as their video streaming service includes companies from all regions of the world, such as Highlight Games, Betgames, and LiveG24.
Interestingly, LiveG24 offers live casino games and licensed bingo broadcast globally to operators focusing on growing regions like Brazil. Their interactive dealer games are streamed with the nanocosmos solution 24/7/365 from studios in Europe to audiences worldwide, including the emerging market of South America.
They also make use of multi-angle streaming with their bingo game, one camera on the dealer and one on the ball, to create a more dynamic and engaging experience.
Typical challenges for providers when streaming interactive content to various regions include buffering, latency, bandwidth, video quality, and security.
Latency requirement for creating interactive live dealer games
Interactive live dealer games like blackjack, for example, require ultra-low latency. Streaming games to players in less than one second is essential to maintain an engaging gaming experience, as well as to increase the betting window and enhance monetization.
With the nanocosmos solution, providers achieve sub-second latency streaming, for example, from Europe to Brazil. Considering the diverse internet capabilities, this is extremely competitive.
Another challenge related to latency is ensuring that the streamed games run smoothly. Any disruption in viewing experiences can directly harm monetization efforts, emphasizing the paramount importance of flawless gameplay, regardless of the player's location or device.
To prioritize the quality of experience (QoE) for players, the LiveG24 client requires comprehensive visibility into their streaming workflow.
Advanced monitoring and analytics for optimal streaming
To maintain minimal latency, clients leverage the nanocosmos world map displaying latency values by country. It is part of the nanoStream Cloud Analytics. This tool helps to monitor the backend of the streams, ensuring that latency remains minimal.
Additionally, the pie charts within the analytics suite offer insights into the stream's performance based on the operating system or country, allowing for targeted optimizations.
Especially in regions without dense coverage of cutting-edge internet, the varying network qualities must be addressed. Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) streaming is crucial for maintaining smooth streams, especially in regions with inconsistent internet connections. ABR adjusts the video quality in real-time based on the viewer's network conditions, ensuring a smooth experience even in areas with suboptimal connectivity.
Another challenge is distributing live games or betting via streaming across all areas. A strong and reliable Content Distribution Network (CDN) supports an uninterrupted experience across all regions. With servers strategically positioned, nanocosmos clients can navigate the challenges, delivering real-time games flawlessly.
Many providers run non-stop broadcasts, and issues need to be addressed as quickly as possible, translating into a one-minute timeframe. This challenge is addressed by nanocosmos with their approach of providing in-house support 24/7/365.

The need for a solution that offers continuous ultra-low latency streaming 24/7/365 across all regions and devices is paramount for many nanocosmos clients. The combination of multiple requirements provides a unique solution: adaptive bitrate streaming with adjustable transcoding profiles that rely on a strong CDN, easy access, and compatibility with all devices, and live control in Analytics.
Additionally, with security and 24/7 operations, the complete solution ensures high-quality streaming and ultra-low latency for interactive live dealer games, supporting the continuous growth of the gaming industry in emerging markets like Latin America.
