Using data to detect insights is a precise science, argues Parimatch Chief Data OfficerReading Time: 3 minutes

 

Rostyslav Maikovych – Chief Data Officer at Parimatch, provides an insight to his presentation at iGB Live! and the challenge of generating reliable data in a post GDPR era, the critical task of drawing as much value from usable data as possible and an exploration of the key metrics that businesses can deploy.

 

Is data like oil in so far as it has to be refined to be meaningful.  No one would put crude oil in a jet plan for example?
Collecting data is only the first stage, but it is essential. To effectively use the data in the processes of business intelligence and machine learning, it needs to be processed correctly, verified and transformed if needed to ensure that everything is correct and accurate and prepared for analysis. Data should be verified based on both accuracy and context. Machine learning requires the right set of features that can be used in ML.
Usually, for normalized data, you need to prepare a relational data warehouse where all information about clients, their behaviour and transactions is aggregated. Then from this repository, you can take data and discover insights, prepare samples for the development of predictive models such as response prediction, or churn prediction, to activate the client on time before he/she loses interest in the service.
You can collect a lot of different data. It can be structured and unstructured data from e-mail, social media, logs, client profile, history of the transaction, etc. In this regard, the search for insights – hidden patterns and features in data sets – is similar to the search for golden sand in a heap of ore. However, it’s still possible.

With so many data breaches how do we build trust with consumers?
We ask for a minimum of personal data. We save all the information we receive, and we do not pass it on to third parties. We take care of the personal data as if it is our own.  The primary source for insights is the behaviour of customers and their bets. Due to it, we divide clients into segments, and we can make targeted offers that are interesting to the particular client. Clients benefit from receiving fewer uninteresting mailings and having more exciting bonus and activation proposals that are tailored to each customer.

Do you think consumers now appreciate the value of their data?
I suspect that they do not notice how much data is being transmitted – clicks, bets, markets, teams they bet on. It is difficult for a person to remember what he/she was interested in over one or another period. Moreover, we aggregate and analyse this information to create a more efficient customer journey and relevant content. At the same time, customers get many benefits – such as less spam as well as more interesting and targeted suggestions.
They give more valuable information, for example, to Google – all the search queries and keywords they were looking for. As a result, they are persistently plagued with advertisements that are mostly irrelevant. It’s easier to feel the value of information in this case as you can see the direct result of collecting something close to you. We do not have such an effect with our data. We are only interested in their preferences towards sports and their behaviour on the site.

How do you draw maximum value from usable data and what are the key metrics?
We must take into account what the business requirements and objectives are. If the primary objective is to achieve an increase in conversion, it will be necessary to analyse which clients are better converted and why, at what stages do we encounter the most significant problems, where it is necessary to make a shorter application form or to change the location of the buttons. The metric here is the sales funnel and conversion rate on each step, namely, its increase after fixing the detected flaws in the processes.
Should the organisation want to quickly grow its share on the new market, we need to analyze what sports events and types of bonuses involve most customers, test different types of campaigns for the acquisition, analyse their effectiveness, and use the best. In this case the metrics are the monthly growth of active users, daily active users and additional profit.
Frequently an organisation’s focus is to increase retention rate. We need to identify at what stages there is the most significant outflow. The strategy would be to give customers an offer that is interesting to them or content that enhances their engagement and brings them back to us on the site. For example, the highest level of outflow appears in the first two weeks among a particular segment of clients. We assign our main activities on them, improve onboarding, send them more exciting offers and announcements. The metric here is the retention rate.

The anatomy of a high-performing iGaming platform: a guide from Slotegrator

Published

on

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Slotegrator, a gambling solutions provider and game aggregator, has released new downloadable material about the key components of a successful online casino platform. The guide includes practical checklists to help beginners set up platforms from scratch and experts enhance their projects.

In the iGaming industry, a project’s long-term success depends on the power and versatility of its platform. But that platform can’t be based on any old software; just like how you can’t have a car without four wheels and an engine, there are vital components to an online casino platform.

So what are they?

Let’s start with first impressions. The frontend is the “face” of a platform. Almost 75% of players judge a gambling website based on its appearance, and 88% of users won’t return after a negative experience.

Key frontend elements include:

  • Branding (visitors should understand the idea from the first glance)
  • Navigation (everything should be simple and easy to find)
  • Transparency (players must have easy access to relevant information)
  • Localization (adoption of language, currency and cultural norms).

If the frontend is the face, the backend is the brain. It should contain all the tools for successful online casino management. A quality backend should give the operator total, real-time monitoring and control over every aspect of a business — payment processing, regulatory compliance, game statistics, player data, retention strategies, analytics, compliance, player support, and everything else.

New operators often find themselves trying to choose whether to build such a platform in-house or to outsource the job. Slotegrator’s report carefully weighs the pros and cons of each option and reaches a clear conclusion: in-house development might save a little money in the short term, but it’ll cost much more in the long run.

“We created this guide to help operators to understand what truly belongs in a successful iGaming platform. An engaging frontend and a powerful backend are essential tools for attracting and retaining players. The guide is a valuable resource for evaluating a platform’s strengths and weaknesses and building a clear promotion strategy”, says Svetlana Kirichenko, Head of Marketing at Slotegrator.

Slotegrator’s guide also includes several key checklists:

  1. Essential frontend functions
  2. Key backend features
  3. Necessary modules for platform architecture (featuring a real example of Slotegrator’s turnkey online casino platform.

PAGCOR ORDERS TAKEDOWN OF GAMBLING BILLBOARDS

Published

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has ordered the immediate dismantling of all billboards and out-of-home (OOH) gambling advertisements in its intensified efforts to regulate gambling-related promotions in public spaces.

In a memorandum issued on July 7, PAGCOR directed all licensees, suppliers, system administrators, and gaming venue operators to take down gambling ad materials, including those displayed on trains, buses, jeepneys, and taxis.

The agency emphasized that only institutional or responsible gaming campaigns—subject to PAGCOR’s approval—will be permitted moving forward.

“We have given all our licensees and stakeholders until August 15 to completely remove all gambling-related ads,” said PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco.

“Prior to that, stakeholders must also submit an inventory of their existing billboard and wallscape advertisements by July 16.”

The inventory, according to Mr. Tengco, must include the size, material, location, rental contract expiration, and the corresponding permit number from the Ad Standards Council (ASC).

The PAGCOR chief said the move is part of the state gaming agency’s commitment to promote a safer and more responsible gaming environment in the country.

“While PAGCOR is mandated to regulate the gaming industry and generate revenues for nation-building, we do not want to encourage a culture of gambling addiction,” he said.

“Regulating excessive and pervasive gambling advertisements is a critical step in protecting vulnerable sectors of society, especially the youth.”

The agency also warned against replacing the dismantled advertisements with new gambling promotions, stressing that non-compliance will be dealt with accordingly.
