Betting economy can maintain growth through internal focus states Zendesk
Reading Time: 3 minutes
The online gaming sector’s success in recent years is often reported as a result of new technology, emerging markets and exciting content but customers’ experience is essential too and excellent service needs to happen from the inside out according to Zendesk.
As the leading customer service and engagement platform across hundreds of industries including iGaming, mobile, retail and hospitality, Zendesk is ideally positioned to analyse the growing impact customer service is having on revenue and brand loyalty within the online gaming sector in recent years. However, with more and more online gaming companies developing and releasing new slots each week Zendesk explains why customer retention isn’t all about keeping players happy and why sometimes it really is what’s on the inside that counts.
Sarah Manning, Human Resources Director, EMEA at Zendesk believes the improvement of employee experience even within sectors which aren’t face-to-face customer facing such as iGaming remains a vital part of overall expansion strategy. Manning explained: “Companies that excel at internal customer service strive to instill a culture of collaboration and cooperation, where everyone is on the same team working toward the same goals. That could mean a marketing manager promptly fulfilling a sales request, or an IT tech patiently resolving system issues for a member of the customer support staff. By having clear systems for employee engagement, you can unite the team around the common mission of delivering a market-leading customer experience.”
“When a company prioritizes internal customer service, its employees are happier and better equipped to provide the type of external customer service consumers expect,” they continued. “Happier employees are also more loyal and help boost the company’s bottom line.”
The essential components of effective employee engagement are not vastly different to the key attributes of what makes a new online slot successful or the basis of any kind of positive relationship. Manning highlights the need for three core essentials for internal customer service; a strong emphasis on communication; an ability to recognise greatness; and, putting the power in employees’ hands.
Communication is a core part of Zendesk’s business and in 2019 the company expanded its omnichannel presence with WhatsApp support integrations as well as developing its relationship with Slack. Manning believes connecting conversations between employees and management on any messaging channel – from websites and mobile apps to the world’s leading messaging apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger – is the path to empowering from the inside out.
“Successful internal customer service requires employees who can effectively communicate,” they said. “When a manager in operations asks for information from finance, they should know who to approach and be comfortable doing it. Employees on the receiving end of the requests shouldn’t just be willing to work together—they should be eager to provide answers. One way to improve in office communications is to encourage alternatives to email. Replacing the passive, time-zapping form of communication with something more active, such as Slack, will encourage conversations, camaraderie, and the use of GIFs.”
Zendesk’s international team pride themselves on being ‘people people,’ and this focus on the individual as part of the whole forms the basis of their internal infrastructure. With online gaming companies ranging from two-person outfits to giant global powerhouses it can be difficult to give the correct credit to staff where it’s due, however Manning believes the key to effective recognition is matching the praise to the employee. “Happy employees lead to happy customers, and one way to keep members of any team in good spirits is to celebrate them when they do well,” she explained. “This could mean a year end bonus to the top salesperson or a end-of-the-week shoutout to the highest rated customer service rep. Letting employees know they’re doing well is a key part of letting know they’re appreciated.”
The final piece of the internal customer puzzle according to Manning is increasing opportunities for self-service making life easier for both the employee who needs information and the employee who has it. Providing a self-service portal via Zendesk’s powerful new product, Gather, can allow staff to look up company holidays or to troubleshoot common email issues hence allowing the HR and IT departments to use their time handling more significant challenges.
“Giving power to your employees isn’t just about convenience,” explained Manning. “When people are allowed to solve their own problems, they grow more comfortable with autonomy and more likely to come up with new, game changing ideas. Along with fostering creativity, the Harvard Business Review found that empowerment creates happy, high performing employees. Those are the type of internal customers you want serving the external ones.”

Betfred Launches Checkd Dev’s Automated Betting System to Strengthen Football Betting Offering
Checkd Dev, part of the award-winning Checkd Group and a leading iGaming technology provider, has signed a multi-year agreement to supply its Automated Betting System (ABS) to UK bookmaker Betfred, introducing new levels of efficiency and engagement to pre-match football accumulator betting.
Through the partnership, Betfred has launched a suite of pre-configured, one-click accumulator bets, powered by Checkd Dev’s ABS technology and seamlessly integrated with Betfred’s proprietary pricing.
The solution enhances the customer betting journey while equipping Betfred’s trading team with a robust backend platform to streamline bet creation, management, and settlement. Customers benefit from football bets that are dynamically assigned probabilities based on historic form, providing greater insight and confidence in their selections.
The launch of ABS reinforces Betfred’s reputation as an industry innovator, offering customers smarter, faster, and more engaging betting experiences.
Checkd Dev has refined its ABS user interface through deployments with multiple tier-one operators. Betfred has further strengthened the proposition by integrating its competitive Acca Flex bonus offer, available from launch. Customers can access additional bonuses if their bet wins, while also benefiting from a money-back guarantee if a single leg loses.
Since its introduction two years ago, Checkd Dev’s ABS has evolved from a statistics-driven tool to increase operator conversion rates into a comprehensive system designed to meet the growing demand for automated, pre-configured betting products, powered by the company’s proprietary BRUNO platform.
This agreement extends Checkd Dev’s recent growth trajectory, following high-profile partnerships with William Hill on a fully automated, stats-powered Bet Builder, and a three-year deal with OpenBet to launch a new Trending BetBuilder to market.
Andrew Grimshaw, Commercial Director at Checkd Dev, commented: “We are delighted to be working with fellow Mancunians Betfred on our Trending Bets product. More and more major bookmakers are recognising the tangible value of our automated betting solutions, and it is especially gratifying to collaborate with a local partner on this launch.”
Mark Hartley, Head of Product at Betfred, added: “Since moving onto our propriety platform, we’ve been able to bring new ideas to market much faster. This partnership with Checkd Dev is a great example, helping us solve a simple problem for football fans: researching and building an accumulator can sometimes feel like hard work!
“With one-click, data-driven selections we’ve made the process quicker and easier, while still giving customers the choice and depth they want. Accas are already one of our most compelling propositions, thanks to our popular promotion Acca Flex, and this launch makes them even more engaging. We’re also looking forward to exploring further opportunities to work with Checkd Dev in the future.”
