WAVEUP VIEW

The challenges of gambling startups

Navigating the dynamic terrain of the gambling industry requires agility, making startups grapple with distinct complexities when pursuing venture capital funding.

Assessing operational efficiency

The swift evolution and absence of standardised benchmarks in the gambling industry complicate decision-making, particularly for investors, hence requiring startups to clearly measure and communicate their business performance to potential funders.

Customer loyalty and retention

Building a strong brand presence and fostering customer loyalty are key challenges of gambling startups. Establishing a recognizable brand identity, creating a positive brand image, and delivering exceptional customer experiences are essential for gaining customer trust and drive strong retention.

Driving responsible growth

Companies in the gambling industry must ensure growth while upholding responsible gambling practices. Despite the availability of various market strategies and growth frameworks, the businesses we engage with often struggle to answer two pivotal questions – when should we scale, and how fast?
