Although it is sometimes overlooked, the so-called 'user experience' (UX) is a key issue for the success of any online betting platform. As Bazk is a leading payment partner in the field, I've closely followed the market and have seen how usability influences the relationship with users.
With its direct impact on player loyalty, UX planning is crucial for betting companies. After all, users are looking for fun, not complications. That's why a confusing experience can be a decisive factor in pushing the public away.
User experience goes far beyond a visually appealing or eye-catching interface. The concept of UX encompasses all aspects related to the user's interaction with the service – from ease of navigation to the transparency of information.
When the interface is intuitive, attractive, and functional, it's much easier to build customer loyalty – something that's essential in an increasingly competitive market. So, while there are many things to consider when developing a good UX, it will certainly help to ensure the best results.
Here are five fundamental points that every online betting platform should consider when planning the user experience:
It's unreasonable to expect all users of online entertainment platforms to have advanced technical skills. Therefore, it's important to provide intuitive navigation that makes it easy to access the information you need and place bets without complication.
With the increasing use of mobile devices to access the internet, betting sites must be responsive and provide a consistent experience across different screens.
Offering real-time updates (such as live events, scores and odds) increases user engagement. This is because the clear presentation of data, including odds and statistics, increases player confidence and simplifies decision-making.
The ability to customise the interface according to the user's preferences and behaviour makes the experience more engaging. However, it is important to maintain a professional organisation of the elements to avoid confusion.
Another aspect of UX that makes all the difference to customer retention and loyalty is the checkout, especially in Brazil. According to a recent survey by Opinion Box, 78% of Brazilians tend to abandon online transactions at the final stage (the famous 'cart abandonment'). A study by Signifyd found that 43% of consumers in the country are frustrated by delays in transactional approval. Therefore, in addition to the obvious security, the betting platform's checkout needs to provide an agile and efficient experience.
In short, the user experience is the core of any betting platform and has a direct impact on customer satisfaction and loyalty. Moreover, it can influence the long-term success of the business. So when it comes to UX, you don't want to gamble!
