Wagering Behavior: Players participating in betting activities over multiple days during the tournament tend to place higher wagers, indicating a correlation between sustained engagement and increased betting volumes.

According to Pini Yakuel, CEO of Optimove, To leverage these insights effectively, sportsbook operators are encouraged to adopt targeted marketing strategies and employ journey orchestration techniques. With these insights, operators can tailor experiences for first-time depositors, ensuring maximum engagement and retention throughout the tournament and beyond.”

The report also offers other recommendations for sportsbook operators, including the following:  Segmentation and Personalization: Understanding the diverse profiles of bettors is crucial for effective journey orchestration. Operators should segment customers based on their potential lifetime value and personalize their marketing efforts to cater to each segment’s unique preferences.

Retention Strategies: With approximately 50% of players not returning after their first bet, effective retention strategies are paramount. Sportsbook operators should focus on post-initial interaction engagement, offering personalized experiences and incentives to nurture and retain customers over time.
