“With the official launch of Amplifier AI for sports, Future Anthem is setting a new standard of personalisation for sports operators – and fast,” said Chief Product Officer Ian Tibot.

“The variety of different behavioural styles creates a unique problem for sports operators.

“With Amplifier AI, we’ve worked relentlessly to create a data and AI-powered product that personalises every step of the player journey in real-time.”

Amplifier AI’s ability to personalise in real-time is enabled by its use of cutting-edge AI technologies that can process the unprecedented scale and speed of data in the sports betting industry. It is capable of sending millions of personalised data points to players with seamless data integration.

Operators utilising Amplifier AI’s sports modules will be able to personalise the entire betting experience from homepage to bet slip. It generates live audiences for innovative and personalised marketing campaigns, uses AI to optimise promotions, and prevents churn and identifies risky behaviours in real-time.

The Center’s research, education, and outreach will have an important impact on the lives of state residents, college students throughout the state, gaming industry firms operating in the state, and state gaming regulators.
