What Web Businesses Can Learn From Online Gambling
Building Trust in the Digital World
Online gambling is soaring as one of the fastest-growing sectors in e-commerce, even more remarkable given its illegal status in the US. These websites face significant challenges in advertising and promotion, as major US-based platforms like Google and Yahoo refuse to advertise them.
Overcoming Trust Issues
You’d think it would be nearly impossible for online gambling sites to win users’ trust, especially considering the historical challenges in e-commerce, such as credit card fraud and disappearing websites. The challenge is even greater for gambling sites serving US customers, given the lack of legal recourse for users should a problem arise.
Despite these hurdles, an estimated 60% of online gambling customers are from the US. Gambling with real money online is illegal under federal law, but casinos based outside the US can still serve US customers.
How Do Online Gambling Websites Earn Trust?
1. Trust Symbols
Gambling sites have developed their own trust seals like ECOGRA (E-Commerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance) since they can't use US-based business certifications. They prominently display secure connection certificates from organizations like Thawte to reassure users.
2. Clear Assurances
Successful gambling websites offer explicit assurances of reliability. For example, one prominent site states: "We are licensed and regulated by the Government of Gibraltar, and our games are tested by iTech Labs, ensuring fairness and correct operation."
3. Transparency
Transparency is key. Successful gambling sites clearly display company information and back honesty claims with independent technology audits.
4. High-Quality Design
These websites are visually appealing. Unlike basic HTML sites, high-quality design is crucial to earning users’ trust when money is involved.
5. Low Barriers to Entry
Many gambling sites offer free options or require only a minimal upfront payment, making it easy for users to start.
6. Optimized User Experience
Efficient design means users can quickly get to what they want to do, minimizing time for doubt and hesitation.
Bringing These Lessons to Your Business
If you assume your business's trustworthiness is a given, you might lose potential customers. Learn from websites that can’t take trust for granted: make sure your users feel secure and confident enough to engage financially.
By applying these insights, web businesses can enhance their credibility and attract more visitors, fostering long-term customer relationships.
