Traffic and Retention KPIs

What KPIs are important in betting: player retention rates, bonus performance, traffic conversion and the impact of marketing on activity and profit.
Expert Stanislav Anisimov

The betting platform cannot be managed without clear key performance indicators (KPIs). Well-chosen metrics allow you to track how marketing works, how effectively players are involved and retained, which bonuses make a profit, and which ones make a loss. KPIs are the foundation for strategic decision-making and budget optimization.

Retention KPI

Metrics Description
Day 1 / 7 / 30 Retention How many players return after 1, 7 and 30 days
Mean frequency of visits Number of sessions per week/month
Average Session Duration Time spent on platform
Percentage of repeated deposits How many players have made 2 + top-ups
Churn Rate Percentage of players who left during the period

The goal is to increase engagement and extend the user's lifecycle.

Bonus KPIs

Metrics What measures
Bonus ROI Gains from players receiving bonus/costs
