On 8 July 2026, Symplify Chief Sales Officer Christoffer Feldt-Sørensen discussed customer relationship management strategies during an interview with iGF. The discussion focused on converting World Cup 2026 acquisition spikes into sustainable player retention.
The World Cup 2026 is generating a surge in first-time and casual bettors. Feldt-Sørensen noted that treating all tournament traffic identically is a common operational error. "Treating both groups identically is one of the most common and costly mistakes we see," he stated.
This approach over-serves experienced users while under-serving those likely to churn after the event.

Operators are using real-time behavioral analysis to distinguish between long-term users and event-driven players. Data regarding match selection and engagement depth indicates which users require bridging to domestic leagues and which need retention interventions.
The interview was conducted by iGF Head of Content Curtis Roach.
