BI Analyst (iGaming)
Turns the stream of bets, deposits and sessions into reports and conclusions the company acts on.
Who is this and what does he do?
iGaming generates a lot of data, and all of it is money: every bet, spin, deposit and bonus. A BI Analyst (iGaming) builds data marts and dashboards, calculates cohorts and LTV, works out why NGR dipped in a particular geo and checks whether a promotion actually paid off. The key difference from analytics elsewhere is that you have to understand GGR, NGR, bonus cost and the gap between turnover and revenue.
