Payments Vital for iGaming Player Acquisition and Retention – Paysafe Research

Published

on

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

Quick and easy payouts trump all other factors for North American and U.K. online sports bettors when selecting a sportsbook, according to the latest All the ways players pay research from leading payments platform Paysafe. The report also reveals the crucial role of the payments experience in player retention as well as sports bettors’ rising interest in digital wallets and eCash.

Surveying more than 2000 online sports bettors in six U.S. states (Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania), the Canadian province of Ontario, and the UK, in November 2022, the research found that quick and easy payouts were prioritised by 36% of players when choosing a sportsbook. They considered payouts more important than brand trust (34%), odds, and promotions (28% for both). Availability of preferred payment methods was a factor for 27% of bettors and prioritised over a sportsbook’s sports markets and team sponsorships (11% for both).

Frictionless payouts are even more of a factor in sportsbook selection for players in Michigan (43%), whose market launched in January 2021, and the UK (39%), with its iGaming industry dating back 20+ years. By contrast, in Ontario, whose expanded market launched in April, players consider brand trust paramount (prioritised by 39%), though payouts were the second most important factor (35%).

The payment experience is just as vital for player retention, with 75% of sports bettors citing this as an important factor for why they remain with a brand. Payments appear particularly crucial for customer stickiness in New York, with 85% of players in the year-old iGaming market giving this consideration.

Players’ payment preferences continue to diversify, though the traditional payment method of debit cards dominates wagering (preferred by 49% of bettors). The U.K. and Iowa gambling regulators’ bans on credit cards for iGaming have likely contributed to this trend, with debit card preferences rising to 59% in both markets. Despite these two markets’ restrictions, credit cards were a payment preference of 25% of all players and are the go-to payment method for New Yorkers (44%).

Overall, the alternative payment method (APM) of digital wallets is now more popular than credit cards, with 28% of all players preferring a wallet. This trends as high as 45% in Iowa, where credit cards are not permitted. Digital wallets’ popularity is strongest with more frequent or VIP bettors, with a wallet the top payment method for players wagering 5-7 times a week alongside debit cards (both 41%). For bettors wagering 7+ times weekly, 34% prefer a wallet, exceeding mobile wallets (33%) and credit cards (24%).

Adoption of other APMs like eCash is also growing, with 16% of players preferring this payment method, trending higher in the U.S. (18%), where cash usage is still relatively robust, and in New York in particular (28%). Future demand also appears strong, with 53% of players saying they would bet online more frequently if they were able to use eCash products.

Operators appear to be largely addressing players’ concerns about payment security, with 59% more confident transacting than they were in 2021. Nonetheless, with 30% of players undecided and 11% less confident, there appears to be no room for complacency for the iGaming industry.

“Our latest research report emphasizes how critical it is for operators to develop a customer-friendly payments strategy as part of their model in order to both convert and retain new and existing players. In a highly competitive market, operators stand to gain a competitive edge if their cashiers feature a comprehensive suite of payment methods, including digital wallets, which support the conversion of VIP players, and eCash, which resonates with cash-focused consumers who are perhaps prioritizing sticking to a budget in their betting,” Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, said.

Casino Management Systems Market Overview

Technological Advancements Propel Growth: Technological advancements play a crucial role in driving the ever-changing Casino Management Systems Market. Advancements like AI-powered analytics, integration with IoT, and mobile compatibility contribute to improved operational efficiency and increased customer engagement. These advancements fuel the need for businesses to improve their operations and provide exceptional customer experiences, leading to the growth of the market.

Rising Demand for Enhanced Security Solutions: Security is a major concern in the Casino Management Systems Market, leading to a high demand for cutting-edge security solutions. Given the rising number of fraudulent activities and data breaches, casinos are actively looking for strong security measures to protect their assets and ensure the safety of customer information. Addressing these concerns, solutions that provide biometric authentication, encryption, and real-time monitoring can foster trust among stakeholders and contribute to market growth.

Increasing Regulatory Compliance Requirements: The Casino Management Systems Market is seeing a notable increase in demand due to the growing importance of regulatory compliance. Comprehensive compliance solutions are required to meet the stringent regulations in the gaming industry. By utilising systems that provide regulatory reporting, audit trails, and age verification capabilities, casinos can ensure compliance with legal requirements and prevent potential penalties. The increasing emphasis on compliance highlights the significance of advanced management systems, driving the growth of the market.

High Initial Investment Costs: One of the main challenges in the Casino Management Systems Market is the significant upfront costs involved in implementing comprehensive management solutions. Acquiring, integrating, and customising these systems can result in significant upfront expenses for casinos. The financial obstacle hinders the expansion of the market, especially for small and medium-sized businesses. Nevertheless, companies that offer adaptable pricing structures and scalable solutions can help alleviate this limitation, thereby expanding the market’s accessibility to a wider array of businesses.

Integration Challenges and Legacy Systems: The Casino Management Systems Market faces significant challenges due to the complexities of integration and the presence of legacy systems. It is common for casinos to have a wide range of IT infrastructures, some of which may be outdated and incompatible with modern management solutions. Implementing new systems and ensuring smooth compatibility with current infrastructure demands significant time, resources, and specialised knowledge. The integration challenges mentioned can impede market growth as they result in longer implementation timelines and higher deployment costs.

Concerns Regarding Data Privacy and Security: In the ever-growing landscape of data breaches and privacy scandals, the Casino Management Systems Market faces significant challenges when it comes to data privacy and security. Casinos are responsible for managing extensive amounts of sensitive customer data, which includes personal and financial information. This makes them highly attractive to cyber threats. With increasing regulatory scrutiny, casinos are under growing pressure to maintain data protection standards and ensure the privacy of their customers. Tackling these concerns necessitates strong security measures and adherence to data privacy regulations, which introduces additional complexity and expenses to system implementations, thereby limiting market expansion.

Geographic Dominance:
The forecast period is expected to see the Asia Pacific region experiencing the most significant growth. Several countries in the Asia Pacific region, such as Macau, Singapore, the Philippines, and South Korea, have experienced significant expansion in their casino industry. Emerging markets are actively expanding their gaming sectors in order to attract more tourists and boost revenue. This expansion requires sophisticated management systems to optimise operations, enhance visitor experiences, and ensure compliance with regulations.

In addition, the Asia-Pacific region has experienced a notable rise in middle-class populations and disposable incomes. As a result, there has been a growing trend of increased leisure spending, with a particular focus on gaming and entertainment. With the increasing number of casino visitors, there is a growing need for cutting-edge casino management systems. This has led to the creation of innovative technologies that enhance customer service, marketing strategies, and overall operational efficiency.
