Improving the Payout Process for Skills-Based Gaming

Written by Chris Rechtsteiner | Sep 10, 2024 4:03:08 PM

Over 1.1 billion people worldwide enjoy online gaming. Many of these players enjoy skills-baed games, which offer payouts for completing challenges or winning competitions. 

Facilitating payouts for winners is challenging for skills-based gaming companies. Fortunately, there is a solution that can help these companies organize payment processes and promptly distribute rewards to customers.

 

The Problem of Payouts for Skills-Based Gaming

Skills-based gaming companies face numerous challenges when paying their players. Here are the biggest issues that MassPay can resolve: 

Payment Speed

Skills-based players expect a fast payment turnaround when they win. In an industry that celebrates instant gratification, players will quickly move on to competitors if a company doesn't provide a quick turnaround with their winnings. 

Slow payouts for players erode trust in the organization and reduce player satisfaction and engagement. That means fewer players on the platform and reduced participation. 

 

Complicated Payout Process

Players expect companies to transfer their winnings to their preferred accounts. That means skills-based gaming organizations need a streamlined payment process that integrates with all types of payment methods. Players also prefer clear instructions on how to set up an account with the company. If the process is overly complex, it adversely impacts their experience and increases payment turnaround time.

Gaming platforms must provide players with easy-to-follow instructions for setting up an account, minimizing the number of steps in the process. No one should need to jump through hoops to get paid.

 

Low Customer Retention Rates

Player retention rates are highest in the first few days a new player starts playing a game and decline over time. On average, the one-day gaming retention rate is 29.46%. That number drops to 8.7% after seven days and 3.21% after 30 days. One reason why players stop playing a game is a lack of confidence they'll receive their winnings. 

Gaming platforms that delay payments or submit inaccurate payouts will most likely see big customer retention drops. In addition to losing existing players, they may find it harder to attract new ones due to reputational damage. Players are more likely to stick around if they feel they can trust the gaming company to pay them on time, offer straightforward payment processes, and implement security measures to protect winnings.

 

Lack of Seamless Integration

User experience is important to all players, especially those playing skills-based games for money. No one wants to leave the gaming platform to claim their winnings or — even worse — face an uphill battle trying to connect their payment account with the platform. The payment experience should occur entirely within the gaming platform without messy transitions or disruptions.

By setting up payments directly through the platform, gaming companies can expedite payouts, offer a user-friendly gaming experience, and improve client retention. This is a win-win for both companies and their clients.

 

 

Instant Payment Solutions That Meet the Needs of Skills-Based Gaming Organizations

How can gaming companies overcome common payment problems and improve the customer experience? By implementing the right skills-based and esports payment solutions. 

Here's what to look for in a skills-based gaming payment provider:

Instant & Reliable Payout Experience

Proper gaming financial management starts by offering a practical and trustworthy payout experience. Any organization offering instant or online gaming tournament payouts must live up to its claims. Providing clients with seamless and prompt payouts boosts the likelihood of customer retention and all-around satisfaction.

With MassPay, gaming platforms can provide players with what they want. MassPay guarantees instant payouts, improving user experience and trust. 

 

Global Reach with Local Expertise

When expanding into new markets, gaming platforms must adapt to country- and location-specific regulations concerning payment practices. This can be tricky if the organization lacks qualified local experts to advise on payment laws and regulations.

MassPay addresses the needs of gaming companies by offering global payout capabilities that connect with local payment options and compliance assistance, paving the road for streamlined international expansion.

 

Enhanced Security & Compliance

Gaming platforms often serve clients worldwide. However, regulations and rules concerning gaming payouts vary by country. Compliance in gaming payments is essential to avoid fraud or legal issues resulting in unnecessary fines and penalties. 

With MassPay, gaming platforms can rest assured that our robust security features and extensive compliance solutions prevent bad actors from engaging in fraudulent payment activities on the platform. Our solutions give gaming platforms peace of mind and allow them to focus on what they do best — creating exciting games that clients love.
