State of Online Gambling reveals 74% of industry sees data as focus area and 50% more organisations share data with suppliers and partners than 12 months ago

The improved use of data has been one of the main contributors to positive performance in the last 12 months, according to Future Anthem’s State of Online Gambling survey, with 74% of respondents saying it is a focus area for the year ahead.

Furthermore, 87% say their data is structured – an increase from 76% in Future Anthem’s 2021 state-of-the-sector survey – including 32% who say it is very structured.

Gambling companies re-shaping their use of data

The improved use of data is being harnessed to build better experiences. Operators and studios are putting data at the heart of the way they are growing their businesses, using it to conquer markets, move into new areas and create products across more devices.

Future Anthem, the pioneering AI and game data science specialist, found that while there is a growing understanding and clear support for the use of data – the industry has yet to realise its full potential.

Although double the amount of organisations (24%) as last year share their data with at least five suppliers and partners, the size of the potential to improve performance from data is shown by a total of 41% of respondents not sharing their data with suppliers and partners.

This is underlined by 33% feeling that their organisation does not extract the full value of their data and – even more so – by only 26% of respondents saying that their data-driven decisions are measurable.

Data-driven insights needed to compete with Netflix and Amazon

Data science brings many benefits to operators and studios, allowing the chance to address several industry challenges around game and portfolio optimisation as well as increasing responsible gambling standards.

“Having taken the industry’s pulse once again in our 2022 State of Online Gambling survey, it is clear that data is key to future growth. The majority of respondents cite the improved use of data as a major focus area (74%), and 50% more organisations share data with suppliers and partners than 12 months ago,” said Future Anthem CEO Leigh Nissim.

“We expect these trends to accelerate as the industry increasingly reaps the benefits in key operational areas. Online gambling is competing with the likes of Netflix, Amazon and other kings of recommendations – being more data-driven is the only way to win minutes and eyeballs.”

Future Anthem is trusted by some of the world’s leading gambling operators and studios with their use of data, including Betfred, Big Time Gaming, Blueprint Gaming, Gamesys (a Bally’s Corporation Company) and Paddy Power Betfair.

Bronze card has been claimed during the group stage; silver and gold prizes remain available until 31 July.

Tonybet said it has paid out its first major prize in its World Cup Card Collection campaign for Canadian customers (excluding Ontario), after a player secured the promotion’s bronze card worth $15,000 CAD.

The operator said the World Cup Card Collection includes 51 cards to collect during the tournament: 48 digital cards tied to participating World Cup nations, plus three unique cards—gold, silver and bronze—linked to a $150,000 CAD total prize fund.

According to Tonybet, the bronze card has been available through the World Cup’s group stage and has now been claimed. The silver card is available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals, while the gold card is held back for the closing semi-finals and final.

Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “With Canada co-hosting the World Cup for the first time, the tournament has felt closer to home than ever before for Canadians, and it has already delivered a moment most supporters could only dream about with the national team advancing to the knockout stages.

“For one lucky Canada supporter, it has now produced another story that will be worth retelling long after the final whistle has gone – with our lucky winner among the first Tonybet customers to win one of the unique cards in our World Cup Card Collection, taking home a cool $15,000 for managing to get his hands on bronze. Who will end up with silver and gold?”

Tonybet said the same three unique cards are also in circulation across its other markets, with varying outcomes so far. The World Cup Card Collection campaign runs until 31 July, with a $150,000 CAD prize pool for Canada and separate prize pools in other markets.
