In 2023, a significant shift has occurred within the sports betting sector as the focus on user retention has emerged as the primary goal for most sportsbooks. This transformation is hardly surprising, given the industry’s maturation and the skyrocketing costs of acquiring new customers. The effectiveness of operators in generating a sustainable and satisfying return on investment through player acquisition has nearly reached its limits.

Consequently, prioritizing retention has emerged as a cost-efficient strategy for enhancing profitability, though it presents a substantial challenge. Recent research by Betting Hero conducted earlier this year yielded a striking finding: 77% of sports bettors expressed their willingness to transition from their current betting platform to an alternative option. This sentiment is bolstered by a separate study, which revealed that merely 4% of bettors maintain loyalty to a single platform for over a year. These findings align seamlessly with the prevailing consumer trend of favoring convenience over steadfast loyalty.

The question arises: how can sportsbooks maintain the engagement and satisfaction of bettors once they have taken advantage of a generous welcome offer and placed their initial bet on the platform?

A multitude of established bookmakers now offer diverse tools to sustain customer engagement. However, in a saturated market where these tools often appear indistinguishable to users, sportsbooks must present a unique value proposition – a clear differentiation that captures their audience’s attention.

While a robust and gratifying player experience remains pivotal to retaining users, the true game-changer lies in personalizing this experience. Customer loyalty to a platform hinges upon its ability to provide a tailor-made encounter, mirroring the personalized experiences that consumers now expect across various industries. This entails an experience that aligns with their expectations and offers targeted solutions to their specific requirements. Despite the substantial appetite among sports bettors for data, blitzing them with generic promotions instead of tailored activations and offers can prove ineffective.

With a legacy dating back to 2012 in the sports betting industry, LSports recognizes the pressing demand for innovative and distinctive solutions. In response, we have recently unveiled an innovative product lineup driven by a narrative of personalization.

In conjunction with TRADE360, LSports’ advanced sports trading system, and BPS (Bookie Performance System), which monitors the market and provides real-time recommendations to operators for adjusting their coverage and margins, our product portfolio introduces cutting-edge tools for stimulating betting activity. These tools are meticulously designed to deliver contemporary and interactive experiences to users while concurrently addressing the challenges of differentiation and bettor engagement faced by bookmakers.

The standout offering within this lineup is our groundbreaking Sports Expert Chat (SEC), a sophisticated language model employing technology similar to ChatGPT. SEC functions as a personalized sports advisor, analyzing bookmakers’ odds to furnish data-driven tips. Moreover, it supplies bettors with customized insights about specific events of their interest, encompassing relevant news, weather conditions, and statistics.

Another intriguing addition coming soon is “Points in-play,” an interactive social betting tool that presents users with captivating contests and activations during live sporting events based on their preferences. This feature heightens the thrill of the betting experience by ensuring bettors engage exclusively with content that resonates with their tastes. Analogous to SEC, “Points in-play” avoids overwhelming users with extraneous information and provides stimulating activations tailored to their favored events.

These innovative offerings undoubtedly empower bookmakers to elevate customer retention in an era where users anticipate more than basic betting odds and lines. Sportsbooks play a critical role in adjusting to the technological landscape and meeting the increasing need for advanced personalized data solutions. Failing to acknowledge this demand might result in their relegation to the sidelines.

LSports proudly unveils its upcoming pioneering innovation for sportsbooks – SEC. Designed to produce an exciting and data-driven player experience while enhancing sportsbooks through heightened customer loyalty and satisfaction, resulting in elevated turnover rates, SEC addresses a primary pain point for operators.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has gained a massive following over the years, with millions of fans tuning in to watch the matches live or following the scores and updates online.

This is where LSports comes in.

During the past year, LSports has dramatically expanded its coverage of Cricket. In March 2022, we supported 230 pre-match fixtures and 102 in-play fixtures. These numbers increased significantly, and currently stand at 1,199 pre-match fixtures and 420 in-play fixtures.

Using STM, our fully automated sports trading manager, bookies can choose their desired fixtures, markets, and settlements and set their preferred margins.

In cooperation with STATSCORE, LSports also arms its clients with Scoutsfeed, a reliable and accurate sports data live score feed delivered by our highly-trained scouts directly from the venues, TV, or our other unique solutions.

World-leading sports data provider shared news about its new service, allowing sportsbooks to manage risks, reduce exposure and improve user engagement

With its vision of empowering sportsbooks with advanced solutions, LSports is proud to announce the launch of its new cash-out service. This product aims to improve user engagement, allowing bookies to manage risk and reduce their exposure.

This service effectively enables punters to settle their bets before the result of an event is determined. Sportsbook operators can offer them this option, with the cash-out amount depending on several factors, such as the current score of the game, the remaining time, and the odds of the original bet.

Bookies can use cash-outs as an in-game betting feature but can also be offered during the season for outright markets.

LSports has experienced a year filled with exciting milestones that ended on a high note with STATSCORE’s acquisition. Our CEO and Co-Founder, Dotan Lazar, spoke with SBC Leaders magazine about what’s in store for 2023.

LSports, the sports data solutions provider, has announced the addition of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive coverage to its bet stimulation product, BetBooster.

The AI-based, real-time betting tips generator now supports over 10 popular sports, including soccer, tennis, basketball and football, among others. CS:GO marks the beginning of new esports games, with other high-profile games following its footsteps, such as League of Legends and Dota 2.

Yoav Ziv, LSports Chief Revenue Officer, said: “For over two years now, we’ve been investing a lot of resources into providing the best Esports data out there. Besides our huge coverage, we wanted to offer our customers an edge and this is where BetBooster came in.

Ziv added: “With the support of both pre-match and in-play tips, sportsbooks can be sure that CS:GO betting is going to get a lot more stimulating and rewarding.”

LSports tracks over 160,000 pre-match and 110,000 in-play events each month, creating an immersive sporting experience for non-stop fan engagement.

Meanwhile, LSports marked various accomplishments in 2022 as it reported a 77% growth in its in-play coverage and 45% in pre-match.

The company has made steps in various regions, with the creation of its own AUDL data, following its exclusivity deal with the up-and-coming league, and the recent agreement with the Brazilian Basketball Confederation (CBB) positioning them as the sole distributor of their data.

In November, Sports data feed and service provider LSports completed the acquisition of Poland-based data company Statscore.

LSports says this acquisition was undertaken to strengthen its data collection capabilities, by integrating a “fully grown” data centre covering 30 sports.
