  SBC: What would you highlight as the greatest opportunity in the betting and gaming industry over the next number of years?
  
  MC: The most significant chance today is absolutely in the booming LATAM markets. Brazil, in particular presents a distinct chance for smart operators to expand quickly and secure a considerable share of the marketplace. But it's not simply about pumping cash into acquisition efforts. Operators needs to be acutely conscious that players are trying to find more than simply huge bonuses-they desire brands that really understand their preferences and needs and can provide remarkable player experiences.

  SBC: What core obstacles do you assist resolve for your customers/partners?
  
  MC: While we solve dozens of marketing problems for iGaming and Sports Betting operators, I will cherry-pick a couple of things that are of particular interest today based on the countless discussions we have had with the leading operators worldwide.
  
  Overall, we assist operators:
  
  - Leverage relationship with existing players to enhance gamer life time value.

  The focus is to grow through their existing players, rather than through costly player acquisition. We empower these operators to acquire and deepen their players trust and commitment.

  One secret difficulty operators deal with is personalization at scale. Delivering personalized experiences to a huge gamer base without frustrating marketing groups is vital.

  Another considerable obstacle for operators is multi-channel marketing orchestration. Coordinating marketing efforts throughout multiple channels to supply a seamless player experience can be daunting. Our CRM Marketing Platform permits operators to manage and synchronize campaigns throughout email, SMS, push alerts, and more, guaranteeing a consistent player experience.
  
  While I have actually touched on a few subjects that are front and center right now for operators, as I noted that are literally lots more than we address.
  
  SBC: Who have you particularly enjoyed working with over the previous year (partner/client) and why?
  
  MC: Over the previous year, I've particularly enjoyed working with our customers throughout various areas like Europe, North America, and Latin America where we're experiencing a huge development that is outpacing the growth of the industry.
  
  As the number 1 CRM marketing service for the iGaming market, we deal with hundreds of brand names, including 8 of the leading 10 operators in the US, and we're making substantial strides in LATAM just recently opening a 2nd office in the region. Each operator we team up with presents distinct market difficulties and requirements, making every partnership an amazing and rewarding experience.
  
  What's most rewarding is seeing our customers harness the power of the Optimove platform to get rid of these obstacles and broaden via their existing gamers, properly to grow.

  SBC: What are you wanting to gain from the conference at SBC Summit and which components of the program will you be focusing on the most?
  
  MC: I'm fired up about the chance to connect with online marketers at the SBC Summit and really get into the weeds of their obstacles and discomfort points. It's one thing to understand trends from a distance, however there's absolutely nothing like those face-to-face discussions to get a true sense of what's taking place on the ground.
  
  When it comes to the sessions, I'm especially interested in the conversations around Brazil and lottos. Brazil's recent regulative changes, specifically with sports betting and land-based gambling establishments, are producing a great deal of buzz. The marketing landscape there is developing rapidly, specifically given the country's enthusiasm for sports. Hearing from specialists and networking with others who are either developed in or entering this market will be important.
  
  The lottery sessions also caught my eye. The shift in the European lottery landscape due to market liberalization is interesting, specifically with the pressure to innovate and digitize in the face of new competitors. CRM Marketing plays a key role in the success of this digitization process.
