Ways to Attract the Upcoming Generation of Bettors

With the introduction of new sports bettors from younger generations to the industry, comes a need for operators to continue to adapt to the many new developments and trends that come their way.Gen Y players (better known as Millennials) are the first digitally native audience and are rapidly increasing their use of mobile devices and streaming, both for entertainment and sport. Meanwhile, Gen Z players (18–24-year-olds) on average began using mobiles from a very young age, often spending hours playing on their parents’ devices. It’s safe to say that they are never without some form of digital connectivity and this makes them a vital audience for sports betting, both now and in the coming years.It is crucial to understand what motivates the new generation in order to then supply them with relevant products, services, and content they are looking for. There are several vital ways to do this:

• Utilize technology: The next generation of sports bettors is very tech-savvy and comfortable using mobile devices and apps. Offer an intuitive and user-friendly betting platform that can be accessed from a mobile device and make sure it's updated with the latest technology.
• Offer a variety of betting options: Offer a wide range of betting options, including in-play betting, live streaming, and virtual sports, to cater to the diverse preferences of the next generation of sports bettors.
• Gamification: Use game-like elements such as rewards and leaderboards. These can make sports betting more exciting as well as building brand loyalty.
• Focus on responsible gambling: The next generation of sports bettors is more likely to be socially conscious and mindful of the impact of gambling. Emphasize responsible gambling practices and offer resources to help bettors stay in control.
