GLMS has published its first in-depth study, ‘ A STUDY OF BETTING OPERATORS AND THEIR SPONSORSHIP OF SPORT‘, exploring the impact of betting operators in their sponsorship of sports competitions and teams.
The study is based on GLMS methodology and includes recommendations for ensuring that betting sponsorship has only a positive impact on the health of sports.
A call to action
GLMS issues this study as a call to action in the face of a systemic global problem that, if allowed to continue, will be to the detriment of global society. The vision and mission of GLMS has been since 2017 to safeguard sport Integrity by developing a culture of Integrity and Social Responsibility through various activities in addition to detecting suspicious betting patterns. This includes advising regulators as to what provisions need to be introduced when it comes to legalising sports betting and protecting sports values and sustainable market conditions.
An in-depth look at the Asian betting market, betting operator sponsorships in sports and trends
The study is based on a specific methodology and addresses trends in betting sponsorships, notably within football and basketball, toucing on other sports as well. A special focus is placed on the Asian Betting Market, its background, growth and the potential risks and threats.
The study takes into account the COVID-19 pandemic, which only highlights the need for more stringent regulation, ensuring that betting sponsorship remain only a positive impact on sports.
The study also looks at facts and figures in a number of countries in Europe, where betting sponsorship is particularly commonplace.
Regulations and recommendations
The study explores in a snapshot the existing regulations and legislations addressing betting sponsorship of sports, including the recently published UK House of Lords ‘Time to Act to reduce gambling-related harm’, as an illstration of the increasing focus being placed on this issue.
The study ends with a number of recommendations facilitating the safe practice of betting sponsorship of sports. While this study focuses on the impact of sponsorship and makes recommendations for regulating that element, it is also clear that the gaming industry as a whole is one that merits wider scrutiny from governments, investigative authorities, internet service providers, technology firms and many others besides. Today, some operators are able to layer their business interests to avoid infringement while simultaneously seeking to attract betting losses from some of the poorest people in the world. In the future, it is hoped that more efforts can be made across the breadth of society to curb these activities. Read the full report here.

William Hill unlocks the power of human engagement with 2mee

Tier-one operator is using the company’s cutting-edge HoloMessage® solution to take player engagement to the next level with a 340% uplift compared to banner ads
2mee, the pioneering technology platform that allows brands to engage with consumers through the power of human connection, has signed a breakthrough agreement with powerhouse sportsbook and casino operator, William Hill.
Through this partnership, William Hill will leverage 2mee’s proprietary HoloMessage® solution to deliver video messages from its team and brand influencers at strategic points, directly to customers across its website and app as a clickable pop-up.
The partnership has proven to be transformational for Hills, which is already using HoloMessage® to scale engagement among reachable customers from its active player base and create awareness of personalised bonuses and offers while increasing its net promotor score and user lifetime value.
Moving forward, Hills will begin deploying HoloMessage® at critical decision points throughout its customer journey. Influencers will be empowered to record messages directly from their smartphones and deploy them via the 2mee platform.
For its first campaign, William Hill targeted a segmented audience with a HoloMessage® aimed at driving players to opt-in to marketing campaigns. The results were extraordinary: a single influencer HoloMessage® impression outperformed 31 days of a persistent banner ad by an incredible 340%.
The campaign achieved an average engagement rate of 55% with a peak of 64.9% leading to a major increase in customer opt-ins which is expected to deliver a substantial increase in projected annual revenue.
2mee’s HoloMessage® has a myriad of use cases for operators such as William Hill. This includes delivering important educational and information messages around compliance and responsible gambling, especially when it comes to player onboarding where a lack of education around the process often leads to significant drop-off.
Additionally, HoloMessage® can be utilised for player retention efforts and win-back campaigns, ensuring continued engagement with existing players and re-engaging lapsed ones.
James Riley, CEO of 2mee, said: “We are thrilled to be working with such a high-calibre operator and for William Hill to have enjoyed such a significant uplift in engagement, sign-ups and ultimately revenues from the very first deployment of 2mee’s HoloMessage®.
“This is of course just the start of our partnership and we have already identified many other areas in which HoloMessage® can strengthen engagement, foster brand loyalty and ultimately provide a significant boost to customer lifetime value and revenue.”
Matt Baulk, Head of Personalisation & Product at William Hill, added: “We’ve achieved remarkable success with our initial deployment of HoloMessage®, leading us to expand its usage across various touch points in the customer journey, from compliance messaging to sportsbook offers. The technology’s simplicity, from recording to deployment, makes it incredibly user-friendly”.
