Brand Loyalty in Online Casino Sites
We talk a whole lot about branding here at GambleCraft, but it’s actually rarely
about the branding of actual companies. Theme branding on online casino games
and slots titles is a huge market all over the world – gamblers simply eat up
the fun movie and television themed games. But there is certainly a whole other
type of branding at play in the gambling industry, the brand loyalty that
gamblers feel toward their chosen online casinos and betting companies. Apiafi
Associates just announced a new study into ten of the most popular gambling
groups in the industry to note which companies inspire the most brand loyalty
within the market as a way to measure the strength of each of these company’s
brands.
The study actually provides a riveting look at the nature of the current online
casino gambling industry and the way that internet gamblers interact with their
chosen gambling group. Some of the top gambling groups studied by Apiafi
include: William Hill, Paddy Power, Ladbrokes, PokerStars, Bodog, Bwin, Betfair,
Party Poker, Bet365 and 888. These gambling groups represent the essentially the
biggest names in the industry and they each have a huge following of loyal
gamblers who regularly come back to gamble on the site.
A key component of this test was to monitor Google Alerts for each of the online
casino gambling groups – and the results indicate that Bodog is incredibly
active in the internet community. There was no further depth to determine if
it’s Bodog’s social networking skills that are giving the gambling group a
larger web presence than the other gambling groups, but the research indicated
that Bodog was certainly doing something right concerning the company’s online
presence. |
