Using Big Date to Target and Retain Players
Using Big Data to target and retain players
1) Introduction
Big Data has become the foundation of the modern online gambling industry. Whereas casinos used to rely on basic analytics (number of deposits, average bet size), in 2025 the focus is on behavioral patterns, segmentation, and predictive models. Australian operators operating under the control of ACMA are actively adopting Big Data technologies to improve profitability and audience retention.
2) What data is collected
Online casinos analyze hundreds of parameters:
3) Big Data in targeting
Player segmentation. Based on the data, groups are formed: high rollers, "session players," beginners, loyal customers.
Personalized offerings. Adaptive promos are sent to each segment: beginners - freespins, high rollers - exclusive VIP promotions.
Optimization of advertising expenses. Big Data allows you to reduce the cost of attraction (CAC), excluding ineffective campaigns.
4) Player retention
Predictive analytics. Algorithms predict the likelihood of a player leaving and automatically offer a bonus or cashback to keep him.
Gamification. Based on the data, the player is offered personal challenges and tournaments.
Individual limits. To reduce the risk of ludomania, the systems offer mild restrictions while maintaining engagement.
5) AI and machine learning in Big Data
Algorithms analyze millions of transactions and build models of the probability of player actions.
AI determines which push notifications will work best at which point.
Systems predict behavior after wins and losses by setting up communication.
6) Risks and regulatory constraints
Big Data can increase addiction problems if it is used only to stimulate spending.
ACMA in the future may oblige operators to implement "Big Data for responsible play" - algorithms that automatically detect pathological activity.
Balancing commercial casino interests with player protection will be a key industry challenge.
7) Forecast to 2030
By 2030, Big Data will become the basis for the total personalization of gambling experience.
Probable directions:
8) Conclusion
Big Data is revolutionising online gambling in Australia, turning it into a personalised, predictable and controlled process. However, the further development of this technology directly depends on the extent to which operators can combine business interests with the requirements of a responsible game.

2) What data is collected
Online casinos analyze hundreds of parameters:
- frequency of logins;
- the time of day when the player is most active;
- Favorite game types (slots, live, desktop)
- reaction to bonus offers;
- history of deposits and withdrawals;
- duration of gaming sessions;
- socio-demographic data (within legal limits).

By 2030, Big Data will become the basis for the total personalization of gambling experience.
Probable directions:
- integration of Big Data with AR/VR technologies;
- predictive self-control systems for players;
- government audits of algorithms to prevent abuse.
