How Free-to-Play is Driving User Engagement

How can iGaming operators leverage free-to-play games to drive user acquisition and engagement? According to industry expert Jamie Mitchell, the key lies in creating personalised, data-driven free-to-play experiences that serve as a top-of-funnel entry point for potential customers. By offering incentives like cash prizes or free spins, operators can attract a wide audience and start building valuable relationships. The real power, however, comes from using these free-to-play interactions to collect contextual data on user preferences and behaviours. Armed with these insights, operators can craft highly targeted marketing campaigns that dramatically improve conversion rates from first-time signups to paying customers.  0:00 Free-to-play games benefits.3:54 Why free-to-play games drive user acquisition and conversion.7:45 Personalisation in user offerings.10:39 Measuring free-to-play success: conversion and first-time depositors.12:24 Navigating regulatory landscape for free-to-play strategies.14:54 Key free-to-play KPIs. Join the 15-Minute Mastery newsletter: https://newsletter.15m.com/subscribeFollow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/15-minute-masteryOr follow Dmitry directly: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmitrybelianin/ Watch this show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@15-MinuteMastery Welcome to “15 Minute Mastery,” the ultimate show for iGaming professionals, hosted by industry veteran Dmitry Belianin.
