Bacta pledge support for Safer Gambling Week as industry drives awareness campaign

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Bacta is at the forefront of initiatives to encourage responsible gambling with the leading trade association for the land-based low-stake sector joining the Betting and Gaming Council, the Lotteries Council and the Bingo Association as organisers and supporters of the 2024 edition of Safer Gambling Week (SGW) which runs 18th – 24th November.

With a core objective of encouraging people to talk and take action to gamble responsibly, the initiative which is running for its eighth year, will feature what the official SGW web site refers to as a ‘blitz’ of safer gambling messages online and in land-based venues in order to spark a nationwide conversation about responsible gambling and the safeguards that have been put in place by the regulated industry.

George McGregor Bacta’s Executive Director (Government Relations) believes the initiative continues to make a significant contribution to the industry’s endeavours to reduce further the incidence of problem gambling. He stated: “The first point to make is that Safer Gambling Week draws attention to what Bacta members are practicing every week and every day of the year. This commitment and culture is something that every Bacta member should be extremely proud of.

“The consumer-facing Safer Gambling website poses a series of questions to consider and outlines how to use safer gambling tools such as setting time and deposit limits and how to self-exclude from gambling.”

He added: “As an awareness raising initiative Safer Gambling Week has demonstrated its value. Safer Gambling Week 2023 smashed previous social media records, generating over 50 million impressions across Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

“The website received half a million visits and the campaign engaged with a large number of cross-party MPs and peers who gave their backing as did Premier League clubs West Ham United and Brighton and Hove Albion.

“Safer Gambling Week demonstrates that Bacta, its members and the industry at large is fully committed to delivering a safe, responsible and enjoyable gambling entertainment experience for all of its customers.”

Exploring the Strategic Benefits of Cashback Programs with Bojoko CEO Joonas Karhu

Published

on

The significance of cashback programs extends beyond mere player retention.
Reading Time: 3 minutes

The significance of cashback programs extends beyond mere player retention. They are a compelling incentive for new player acquisition, particularly among demographics that value financial reassurance during gameplay. By offering a partial refund on losses, operators can create a more forgiving gaming environment, encouraging players to engage more freely and frequently.

To gain deeper insights into the strategic advantages of cashback programs, we spoke to renowned industry expert Joonas Karhu. He is the CEO of Bojoko, a leading online casino affiliate platform known for its expertise in everything from exclusive offers to optimizing bingo bonuses.

In this interview, Karhu shares his insights on how cashback initiatives impact player acquisition and retention metrics, the specific player demographics that respond positively to these incentives, and the potential financial implications for operators. He also provides practical advice on effectively implementing cashback programs to maximize their benefits while mitigating associated risks.

How do cashback programs impact player acquisition and retention metrics?

From a retention perspective, cashback offers create a more forgiving gaming environment. Players are more inclined to return, knowing that some of their losses will be reimbursed. This assurance can reduce churn rates and extend the customer’s lifetime value.

You might not think that cashback programs could be a driver for new player acquisition, but they actually do have this effect, much more than UK casinos might expect. We have a page highlighting British casino sites with cashback bonus offers available, and from this, we have seen some interesting data.

Hundreds of Brits are specifically looking for casinos with cashback every month, and while smaller than many other searches, such as free spins, etc., this traffic and niche interest should not be ignored. Additionally, players will also take cashback into consideration when reading casino reviews and comparing websites. Adding cashback is a positive factor across the board.

Are there specific types of players who respond more positively to cashback incentives?

Cashback programs tend to resonate particularly well with the types of players you want at your casino, namely regular recreational players and high rollers.

For the former group, it is about a safety net and better odds. The logic is somewhat similar for high rollers, but the numbers they are playing for are huge, and you should strongly consider making your cashback for VIP rollers real cash rather than bonus money. Highrollers are used to getting money straight into their hands, have alternatives, and will be picky.

What are the potential financial implications for operators offering cashback programs?

While cashback programs involve returning a portion of losses to players, the long-term financial benefits often outweigh the immediate costs. Yes, you will lower the house edge, but in return, enhanced player retention leads to sustained revenue streams.

However, it’s crucial for operators to carefully design these programs to ensure they are financially sustainable, balancing player incentives with the company’s profitability goals. This is especially key for highroller incentives.

How can operators effectively implement cashback programs to maximize their benefits?

Operators should tailor cashback programs to align with their target audience’s preferences and behaviors. If you have a solid VIP or high roller base, have a separate system for them. Tiered loyalty programs or VIP programs work as well. It is also possible to only make cashback available for your VIP players if you have data showing that your regular incentives do enough to retain recreational players.

Are there any risks or downsides associated with cashback programs that operators should be aware of?

The only real risk is miscalculating your profit margins, especially when it comes to high rollers. Be careful that big wins from one set of players, coupled with high cashback payouts to others, are planned. The unexpected does happen, and you need to be prepared for it.

If you plan cashback right, there is no real risk. You are simply trading a small percentage of your house edge for retention. Just ensure the house edge is squarely on your side, and should you end up with a very high RTP overall, be sure to advertise it for maximum potential. There’s also a very large group of British players that really cares about payout percentages, and being over 96-97% can give you a nice additional boost in acquisitions.
