Gone are the days when casino games were merely the preserve of brick-and-mortar casinos. Much like every other sector, gaming has long gone digital. In Europe alone, the online gambling industry is projected to generate around €43bn in 2024. According to German data gathering company Statista, the market should reach up to 74.7m users by 2029.

Part of this success comes down to the marketing techniques the industry has been applying to great effect in recent years. So, how do casino operators keep attracting users in droves? And how can new platforms ride that wave to make a name for themselves and thrive in such a heated environment? Let’s delve into three marketing trends worth imitating.

Insightful SEO strategy

Online discoverability is key to making it in the digital world, pushing websites to invest massively in search engine optimization (SEO) to overtake their competitors online. Finding the right keywords goes a long way in ranking higher than the competition. To target the most relevant search terms, casino operators use marketing tools like Google Search Console, Ahrefs, Ubersuggest and SEMrush. Likewise, optimizing a site’s metadata and backlinking can do wonders for search engines.

Mastering the SEO game is no easy task as it requires keeping up with ever-evolving SEO guidelines. From Google to Bing, search engines constantly update their algorithms to improve the pertinence of their results. Websites big and small need to reflect these changes in their SEO approach. Going with the times also means looking into current trends and changes in consumer habits, considering new online behaviours such as voice search. Meanwhile, casino sites always need to comply with local regulations across all the markets they operate in, which translates into a business model fostering adaptability and responsiveness.

A sharp eye for innovation

Operating in an overly competitive environment can be a powerful stimulant. Many iGaming operators are quick to adapt their marketing strategies to emerging trends, just as they are quick to adopt new technologies and innovations to pique the interest of their target audience. Always the trailblazer, the online gambling industry was among the first to invest the mobile space. Over the years, most platforms recognised the needs and preferences of modern players placing convenience above all other metrics, developing ever-so-smooth graphics and user-friendly features on mobile.

Additionally, casino operators have been early adopters of blossoming technologies like virtual reality and blockchain. While many industries were struggling to figure out what is blockchain, major iGaming players went all-in on the technology. Crypto-casinos did much to bring currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum into the mainstream. Incidentally, it is no surprise that metaverse projects like Decentraland made room for virtual casinos into their digital space, with iGaming companies trusting this risky yet daring move to bolster their brand image as tech pioneers. From AI-driven data to AI chatbots answering users 24/7, the AI revolution has also been afoot in the industry.

User-centric approach

Whether online or in the physical space, users increasingly seek validation and acknowledgment of their unique needs – one marketing facet that iGaming operators have been all too eager to exploit by analysing data to roll out personalised bonuses based on players’ profiles, online behaviour, and gaming patterns. Individual users can benefit from tailored recommendations for exploring new games or discovering freshly released titles before anybody else. They may also receive exclusive deals and casino offers. Such promotions might target high rollers and frequent players, affording them special privileges to reward their loyalty. Similarly, high-stakes gamblers may enjoy extended withdrawal limits and earn VIP status.

Newcomers also receive incentives to register on a specific platform. On top-rated platforms, newly registered users can grab no deposit bonuses. While players cannot cash out these extra bundles of cash, they can use these free credits to play a range of casino games. As such, no deposit bonuses are an effective means of allowing users to test a site’s catalogue risk-free. Players can then keep their earnings to bolster their bankroll, with casinos riding on that momentum to drive engagement and keep first-time users logging back on their accounts.

Implementing the right marketing strategies often boils down to analysing what works for the competition. In that sense, the iGaming industry encourages emulation that benefits well-established platforms and new casinos alike. Betting on flexibility, innovation, and personalisation, online casino operators manage to evolve with the times and stay ahead of the current to appeal to a broader range of players from all backgrounds and demographics.

Meridianbet, a member of the Golden Matrix Group (NASDAQ: GMGI), in partnership with Meridianbet Foundation, Expanse Studios, and BC Crvena zvezda Meridianbet announces the launch of a significant humanitarian initiative, ‘Scan. Help.’, aimed at supporting maternity hospitals across Southeast Europe.

The rollout of this action to other market territories is expected in the remainder of 2024.

How It Works

For every scanned QR code and subsequent registration on the Meridian Foundation’s website, funds will be allocated towards equipping five maternity hospitals in Serbia. This innovative approach not only raises awareness but also actively involves the community in our CSR activities.

The initiative is currently ongoing with high media presence and is broadcasted during Southeast Europe’s regional basketball Finals series (ABA League). BC Red Star players wear jerseys featuring the QR code, with additional promotion through basketball arena ads, TV ads, and more, encouraging fans and supporters to participate.

A Unified Effort for Community Impact

The ‘Scan. Help.’ campaign is a collaborative effort involving Meridianbet, Meridianbet foundation, Expanse Studios, and basketball club Crvena zvezda Meridianbet, Southeast Europe’s leading basketball club, of which Meridianbet is the name sponsor. The initiative is designed to leverage our collective resources and influence to make a meaningful impact on local communities.

Multi-Stakeholder Support and Growing Participation

The ‘Scan. Help.’ campaign has received institutional support ad backing from the Ministry of Health, reinforcing the importance and legitimacy of this cause. Additionally, several companies have already expressed their desire to contribute, with provisions made for donations through the Meridian Foundation’s account. This broadening support network amplifies the initiative’s reach and potential impact.

This campaign exemplifies Meridianbet’s dedication to sustainable development and community well-being. In 2023 alone, the company has launched 225 CSR campaigns, reflecting the commitment to making a lasting impact.
