The iGaming industry has experienced rapid evolution over the past few years. From static websites to full-scale gamified ecosystems, the industry’s backbone has shifted on research and analytics.
3. Product Research & Platform Optimization
Your gaming library won’t matter if your site frustrates users. Top-tier iGaming companies test every feature with split testing.
Research shows that reducing loading time by 0.5 seconds increases retention by 22%. If players struggle to complete basic actions, no bonus offer can keep them.
Platforms now test button positioning, scroll behavior, and color psychology to optimize engagement.
4. Regulatory and Legal Intelligence Research
Laws shift monthly, especially in regions like the EU, LATAM, and Southeast Asia. Teams often need dedicated compliance analysts or automation tools to monitor and react in real time.
Case in point: Germany’s GlüNeuRStV imposed strict ad limits and RTP caps with almost no transition period.
5. Competitive Intelligence & Trend Forecasting
Tracking your rivals is a research layer most underutilized in iGaming. Benchmarking tools like SimilarWeb, WhatRunsWhere, and affiliate spy networks uncover campaigns before they scale, bonus trends before they peak, and formats before they go mainstream.
Those who react late to these signals spend more on acquisition and lose to the faster, leaner research-backed teams.
Conclusion: Analysis as the Strategy
In iGaming, the more you test and track, the longer you last. Every area of the business — traffic, UX, product, compliance, and even branding — becomes more profitable when led by insight.
