People Digitally Engaged When They’re Having Fun

Today in data, there’s nothing like fun to increase consumer engagement online. An 11-nation study found that 61% of respondents go online to have fun. The same study found that having fun ranked in the top engagement activities with video streaming earning the top spot. Peer-to-peer (P2P) wagering also offers high engagement and attracts new customers, with one out of every two wagerers never having placed a bet before on the Lucra P2P wagering platform.
