I had added Limelight to my online gaming and gambling watchlist along with GAN because an article I read had talked about their LLNW solutions for online gambling which is set to rise in demand so it is not just video. From their website:
Each year, online gambling commands a larger share of the overall betting market. But online betting has challenges that don’t apply to land-based facilities. To deliver an entertaining, fast-paced gaming experiences on every device, you need to overcome technical issues like latency, availability, compatibility, authentication and security. Limelight Networks has proven solutions that help online gambling platform providers and operators grow thriving, profitable online gaming businesses.
