Forrester: Optimove’s Total Economic Impact
Why it matters:
The “Goldilocks Zone” is just right — ensuring that players are neither bored with too-easy tasks nor frustrated by tasks that are too hard. In iGaming and sports betting, this just right gamification zone helps operators gain higher player satisfaction, retention, and deeper engagement. In this post, discover how Optimove’s AI-orchestrated gamification keeps players engaged by striking the perfect balance between challenge and ease.
Key takeaways:
Players enjoy games and competitions because of the challenge. The key to their continued happiness lies in finding the perfect balance: challenging but not overwhelming. If a challenge is too easy, it quickly loses its appeal. On the other hand, frustration sets in if it’s too complicated, leading players to abandon the game. This ideal balance, the Goldilocks Zone, is crucial for successful gamification.
Reaching the Goldilocks Zone isn’t simple. As players improve, the challenges must evolve. Challenges that outpace a player’s current skill level can lead to frustration and dropout. Each player’s skill progresses differently, making AI orchestration essential to maintain this ‘just-right’ balance for each player.
Optimove has partnered with Captain Up and Gamanza delivering a first to iGaming and Sports Betting operators: AI-orchestrated gamification. These best-of-breeds partnerships unlock the following for iGaming and Sports Betting operators:
Optimove’s AI-orchestrated gamification ensures players always remain engaged by being in “their Goldilocks Zone.” Player challenges are perfectly balanced to maintain engagement without causing frustration. This approach drives deeper engagement, loyalty, and higher retention rates in iGaming and sports betting.
