Personal assistants and AI bots in casinos

Evolution of support services

Traditional call centers and live chats are gradually fading into the background. Online casinos are introducing intelligent AI bots and personal assistants that perform several functions at once: from solving technical issues to setting up a personalized gaming experience.

Early bots were limited to scripts and standard responses. Today they use NLP (Natural Language Processing) and machine learning, which allows you to conduct a dialogue in a natural form and give the most relevant answers.

Main functions of AI assistants

1. Customer support 24/7 - instant answers to questions on deposits, bonuses, withdrawals.
2. Personal recommendations - selection of games and promotions based on activity history.
3. Responsible game - the assistant can remind about the limits, offer a pause or warn about the risks.
4. Transaction automation - Check the status of payments and bonuses in real time.
5. Voice control - interaction through smart speakers and voice assistants.
6. Behavior prediction - assistants are able to identify a tendency to groom or overspend.
