terminology

LTV Lifetime Value

Lifetime Value (LTV) in iGaming is a critical metric used to predict the total net profit attributed to the entire future relationship with an individual player. By analyzing player engagement, wagering patterns, and retention rates, iGaming operators determine long-term player value and understand how much they can profitably spend on acquiring new users. This metric shifts focus from short-term gains to long-term sustainability, fostering a deeper understanding of player economics within the iGaming sector.

This metric guides operators in optimizing marketing strategies, tailoring player incentives, and designing effective loyalty programs to enhance overall profitability and strengthen player retention.
