Blask reveals global iGaming ranking
In a major stride toward comprehensive industry insight, Blask, a leading AI-powered analytics platform in the iGaming sector, has unveiled its new ‘All Brands’ dashboard, enabling operators to assess their brand performance on a truly global scale.
This development breaks the confines of localized analysis by providing access to an all-in-one worldwide database, helping companies identify growth opportunities and refine strategic priorities.
“The new features offer operators the chance to fully grasp where their brands stand globally and swiftly adapt to new opportunities across different regions,” says CEO and co-founder Blask Max
Tesla. “A holistic view of the market is essential for strategic growth, as a localized lens can obscure the broader industry picture. “All Brands” replaces the patchwork of disparate data reports with a unified environment for evaluating brand performance and planning further expansion”. Until now, iGaming operators often relied on fragmented data to evaluate performance, examining metrics on a market-by-market basis. The new “All Brands” interface addresses this challenge, bringing together key indicators from across the globe. It consolidates data for every active iGaming brand, incorporating each brand’s presence in specific markets as well as Blask’s proprietary metrics.
