Salesforce for iGaming: Capabilities

The competition in the iGaming industry is fierce…

iGaming grows by leaps and bounds year after year, and even economy-wide dips are smaller in the industry when compared to the market’s median.

But while the number of operators is also on a steady growth, the number of players is not. In fact, players have trouble differentiating brands, a major possible inflection point since 29% of players are there to have fun, not to win.

...without Salesforce to even out the odds

Therefore, investing in player experience, with great interfaces, promotions, and support systems, is paramount to make your brand stand out.

There’s where Salesforce comes in: there’s hardly a better way to understand your player’s needs than a state-of-the-art CRM solution.

Improved player acquisition and retention

How to win with Salesforce in iGaming

Acquisition, engagement, retention: a powerful CRM platform boosts all three main pillars of player enticement by streamlining advertising, enabling cross-selling, improving customer service, and most importantly — allowing iGaming operators to better understand how their players behave.

Drivers

An iGaming company can only grow so much before there’s too much data to handle, the need to get rid of overwhelming manual processes or better automate player engagement. There’s where Salesforce steps in.

Adoption

Every adaptation process is daunting at first. Don’t fret though, because the strategic value of Salesforce comes out real fast by obsoleting spreadsheets, automating redundancies, and giving your team a way easier time.

Benefits

In short: reduced costs and increased revenue. Salesforce achieves the former by optimizing resources in general (and especially on player acquisition), and the latter by increasing productivity, consolidating customer data, and, therefore, delivering smarter and faster customer service.

Challenges

Common Salesforce challenges, usually triggered by poor implementation, include a low rate of user adoption, how hard it can be to customize it, and data migration complexity. Luckily, those concerns vanish into the thin air with an experienced partner at your side.

The dynamics of iGaming players

Understand why Salesforce has all the correct tools, aligned along every strategic step of the player’s journey, to generate value for both the company and the players.

Acquisition

Salesforce leverages data, including from current players, to nudge you towards key media channels and automate email / SMS campaigns that attract the most valuable player segments to you based on preexisting patterns.

Engagement

Once they’re in, Salesforce is invaluable to ensure a seamless player journey from registration to entertainment. Player data and behavior step in to deliver personalized offers that keep players engaged.

Retention

Automated loyalty programs, milestone celebrations, and new offers wrap up the relationship development Salesforce excels at, building a long-term trust between the brand and the players to edge up chances they’ll keep coming for more.

Salesforce products in action

The Salesforce ecosystem englobes many different solutions for every link of the customer chain. Let’s have an in-depth look into how they all come together to provide a brand‑defining player experience.
