In this month's edition of 'The Operator's Edge' webinar series, Chalkline CEO Daniel Kustelski was joined by Victor Rocha, Conference Chair at the Indian Gaming Association (IGA), to discuss the key digital gaming trends driving opportunities for tribal casinos.

1. Online Loyalty Sign-Up
As a tribal casino marketer, ask yourself: How easy is it for someone to sign up for your casino's loyalty program on their phone?
Sure, they’ll need to verify their identity in person. But if they can’t at least begin the process online, you could be missing out on valuable patron data in the meantime.
Not only do loyalty program sign-ups help build your database, but they also keep players engaged with you (even when they aren’t physically at your casino).
2. Sports Promotions are a Major Opportunity for Digital AND Retail
All year long, uncarded sports fans are visiting your casino – but even more so during major sporting events like the Super Bowl and March Madness.
Big events present excellent opportunities to learn more about these fans – and you can use sports promotions as a tool to do so.
You don’t have to splash out on fancy games or expensive prizes, either. Even offering basic pick’em games with simple prizes can attract fans and build your database.
Remember: People who go to casinos love to play (and win). Sports promotion games help you tap into that excitement and passion.
3. Email is STILL the Engagement Champ…so Double Down
There are plenty of exciting new marketing tools to engage patrons, but email remains one of the most powerful. Why?
For one, it’s a channel that most people are familiar with. But on top of that, many folks also appreciate the simplicity of a straightforward subject line and a clear call to action.
Still, you need to give players a good reason to hand over their email addresses. Exclusive giveaways, contests, and in-person events are good starting points.
4. Unified Data View of the Customer Wins
As you collect data about your patrons, the next step is to make sense of that information – and use it to inform future marketing decisions.
For example, with data visualization tools, you can pinpoint which sports and teams fans care about most. Or, you can determine how many players are engaging with you but haven’t signed up for your loyalty program.
Based on those findings, you can craft multi-channel campaigns that appeal to their interests and encourage them to take the “next right step” with you. (Depending on your goals, that step could be something like attending a watch party at your venue, visiting your sportsbook, or joining your loyalty program.)
We'll plan to see you at IGA!
