The media insist on the importance of brand creation and management, but what does that mean in the context of iGaming? Slotegrator has some tips that we can take note of.
Online gambling businesses need a strong brand, according to the Slotegrator team, because of the industry’s high level of competition.
The worldwide gambling market is projected to reach $449.69 billion in revenue in 2025. This is an impressive market volume, generated by plenty of profitable businesses, but it’s just as easy to fail completely. The reason lies in human nature: modern players are not interested in a pure gaming process any more. They want experience, interaction, and reputation. They want to be a part of the process.
“Today, loyalty goes far beyond the typical bonus program designed to reward players based on how much they deposit. That old model — the more you spend, the more you get — might still have its place, but it’s no longer the foundation of real, lasting loyalty. Players have evolved. They’re not just chasing short-term incentives; they’re looking for brands that offer something more meaningful — a sense of connection, consistency, and value” adds Barb Tasci, a co-founder and business director of Revpanda.
Slotegrator has released a guide that covers five aspects of a company’s brand: brand positioning, brand identity, brand experience, brand awareness, and brand loyalty. These components are important for every brand as they contribute to all marketing efforts that come after. Attracting clients, partners, investors, and talents is much easier when the company is an established brand.
“When we talk about business, it’s about money — but brand is where business meets people. Brand building is about giving the business value. The primary goal of a brand is to build loyal relationships with consumers, and loyalty can only be achieved through the value of the product.
One of the key aspects of brand development in the iGaming industry is the need to account for reputational risks related to market regulation, as well as the social responsibility that brands in this niche inevitably carry.
In our work, we follow a brand strategy in three directions:
- B2C — where we focus on meeting the needs of the player;
- B2B — maintaining high-level partnerships to better meet player needs and enable knowledge and experience sharing;
- Internal corporate direction — because the people inside the company are pieces of the brand being built. They become the voice, the visual identity, and bring emotional depth to every process in the business, thereby scaling the brand.
A brand starts with people and ends with people — at different stages, with different tasks” says Jessica Millis, CEO at CasinoRIX.
For each aspect of branding covered in the guide, Slotegrator provides the best practices that are relevant to gambling companies. The guide also includes expert opinions from Barb Tasci from Revpanda.
