Loyalty program utilization:
Dermot Smurfit, Chief Executive Officer for London-listed GAN, stated that the renewal will moreover involve FanDuel Incorporated licensing his firm’s United States-patented loyalty program technology, which allows land-based casino patrons to ‘receive loyalty points in exchange for online gambling.’ The executive proclaimed that this ‘US Patent’ innovation allows operating partners ‘to greatly enhance online engagement’ and leads to improved retention and monetization rates that increase lifetime values.
Smurfit’s statement read…
“The contract extension combined with the US Patent licensing represents a significant milestone in GAN’s United States evolution and reinforces our view that, in the heavily regulated United States online gambling market, effective and compliant ‘platforms’ are a premium component of the supply chain rather than a commodity. GAN is, therefore, very well placed to capitalize on the growth in United States online gambling markets in terms of new operator clients, new states and underlying growth momentum.”
