Casino Guru breaks down Gamalyze Campaign data and success

Casino Guru, the leading online casino database and advocate for responsible gambling, has taken a further look into the success of the Gamalyze campaign it ran on the occasion of Safer Gambling Week 2024.

Hosted as a joint effort and collaboration with Mindway AI, a respected data science company with a particular focus on analyzing gambling behavior and integrating seamless technology-driven consumer protection measures.
The Gamalyze game, which sought to analyze and inform consumers about their gambling habits, was launched by 10,479 visitors, Casino Guru News previously reported, and 7,116 of the launched games were completed through the end.

Now, Casino Guru has dug into the newly surfaced data the collaboration has revealed and has carefully studied feedback from the campaign to help improve future iterations of the ambitious player protection initiative, discovering that the actual results were better than what was previously thought to be the case.

A total of 279,000 people saw the Gamalyze campaign on the Casino Guru’s website, with 65% of the people who visited the game detail deciding to play it – or some 13,000. Casino Guru was not only able to calibrate its initial numbers for how many people visited the game, or played it, but also derived other vitally important metrics.
First, the number of high-risk players has dropped to 15.6%, down from 17% in the previous campaign’s iteration. In contrast, the number of high-risk players, according to overall data, is 17.3%.

Upon completing the game, the players received advice and feedback on how to improve their gambling behavior.
Another interesting trend that Casino Guru noted was that for the most part, players were able to accurately predict the level of risk they were taking.

For example, only 15.6% of all players had underestimated their risk level – the same as the prior iteration of the Gamalyze campaign. In contrast, the overall average number is 15.2%. These players had too received advice on how to improve their gambling behavior and avoid unnecessary risk-taking.
51.7% of all players showed signs of normal loss sensitivity, which was down from 61% in the previous iteration of the campaign, indicating that players during this campaign showed less concerns over increased losses.

These findings highlight the meaningful impact of the Gamalyze campaign and reinforce the value of data-driven responsible gambling initiatives.

Encouraged by these results, Casino Guru and Mindway AI remain committed to refining their approach, expanding their reach, and continuously improving player protection efforts.
Each iteration presents new opportunities for Casino Guru and Mindway to empower consumers to make responsible gambling decisions.
