  • Do you know how to effectively localize your gaming offerings for new markets? The key lies in thorough research and a deep understanding of your target audience. 

    Dmitry Belianin emphasizes, preliminary research on your product offerings, payment providers, and operational aspects is crucial. Hiring local experts and consultants can provide invaluable insights to shape an authentic market strategy.

    Measuring the success of your localization efforts through user research, interviews, and analytical tools is essential to ensure your content and marketing resonate with the local audience. 

    Avoid a one-size-fits-all approach, as Dmitry warns that a globalized strategy can backfire, especially in markets like Latin America. Instead, embrace a highly localized approach, incorporating local influences, sports teams, and brand ambassadors to build trust and connect with your target customers. 

    By following these best practices, you can navigate the complexities of localization and achieve success in new gaming markets.

    Eitan Gorodetsky emphasizes that in today's complex iGaming landscape, a blend of brand-building and performance tactics is essential.

  • Do you want to build a network and gain influence in the iGaming industry? The key lies in your approach, according to Pierre Lindh, co-founder of Next.io, a content-driven events, media and publishing company that delivers news and insight to investors and iGaming professionals. 

    Consistency is paramount - delivering on your promises and building a reputation for trustworthiness is crucial. But it's not just about quantity of connections; it's about quality. Lindh emphasizes the importance of creating genuine, authentic relationships, catering to both extroverts and introverts. 

    Forget the speed-networking approach - focus on fewer, more meaningful conversations that foster trust and likability. And when it comes to content, ditch the self-promotion. Develop a strong hook that engages your target audience, and back it up with high-quality, valuable insights. Consistency is key here too, as building a reputation as a thought leader takes time. 

    Follow these networking and content strategies, and you'll be well on your way to becoming an influential authority in the iGaming space.

  • Are you truly engaging your customers? The key to creating an immersive gaming experience lies in putting yourself in your customers' shoes.

    Eugene Danilov, a leading expert in customer engagement, emphasises, the true test is whether you and your team would eagerly return to your own platform day after day. Personalisation and gamification are set to be the driving forces behind retention in the coming years, as attention spans dwindle and customers demand real-time, tailored experiences. 

    Segmenting your most valuable players by their Gross Gaming Revenue, and providing a transparent progression ladder of rewards, can foster a sense of achievement and loyalty. However, the approach must be adjusted based on regional purchasing power to ensure relevance. 

    By truly understanding and catering to your top customers, you can stay ahead of the competition and deliver an engaging experience that keeps players coming back.

  • How can founders successfully turn their startup into a thriving corporate entity? The key lies in balancing growth with stability. As Tim Heath, founder of Yolo Group, explains, it’s crucial to introduce corporate policies and procedures at the right time—not so early that they hinder revenue generation, but not so late that they block scalable growth. 

    Founders should gradually step back from day-to-day operations, empowering a capable management team to foster a self-sustaining business. Bringing in a supervisory board can provide valuable industry insights and fresh perspectives, guiding the company towards long-term success even after the founder's involvement fades. While the transition requires courage, the reward is a resilient, sellable business that can thrive without the founder.

  • What unique factors have contributed to the explosive growth of the Brazilian online gambling market in recent years? The Brazilian market has exploded, with over 600 licensed brands now operating in the country.
