99.9% uptime sounds reliable, until you realise it means 8+ hours of downtime a year. For an iGaming operator, it is a business threat. One hour offline during a major promo can erase months of planning, budget, and player trust. Multiply that by eight.

New Optimove Report Reveals Online Players’ Behavior and Preferences: A Guide for iGaming Operators to Drive Player Loyalty and Reduce Marketing Fatigue

 

While most respondents welcome relevant messages and promotions from iGaming operators, still 86% do unsubscribe from sites spurred by excessive and irrelevant messages

Optimove, the #1 CRM Marketing Solution for the iGaming Market, has released its highly anticipated ” 2023 Report of Players’ Preferences in iGaming Marketing: Insights that increase iGaming operators’ odds for player loyalty.” This comprehensive study offers valuable insights into the preferences and behaviors of online gamblers, providing actionable recommendations for gaming sites seeking to enhance player loyalty.

The report, based on responses from 396 U.S. citizens who are active online gamblers, delves into various aspects of the online gaming landscape, shedding light on industry trends, player motivations, and effective strategies for retaining and engaging players.

 

Key Findings from the Report:

Player Loyalty: The report underscores that competitive odds (40%), a user-friendly interface (23%), and generous bonuses (23%) are the primary drivers of player loyalty. It emphasizes the significance of providing an enticing gaming environment.

Marketing Fatigue: The study reveals that an overwhelming 86% of players say they unsubscribe from sites. Almost one-third of players (30%) find the frequency of promotional messages from iGaming operators overwhelming. Personalization, relevancy, and preferred communication channels are key to keeping players engaged. The relevancy of an offer, cited by 56% of respondents, is the most important factor that incents a player to open a communication from an operator.

 

Responsible Gambling: Responsible gambling tools emerged as a trust and loyalty booster for 75% of players. This highlights the growing importance of responsible gambling measures in the industry.

 

The survey revealed that 85% of respondents gamble weekly, with 56% gambling daily. Sports betting emerged as the most popular activity, preferred by 76% of participants.

According to Pini Yakuel, Founder and CEO of Optimove, “iGaming marketers armed with individual player data and proclivities have a roadmap for marketing that drives loyalty. Insights drive the right actions in the marketing flow including creation and orchestration. Enabled by AI, marketing can now move at the speed of the player’s whims.”
