How AI-powered analytics in the iGaming sector helps operators accelerate growth

iGaming operators face a persistent challenge: turning marketing investments into predictable growth. By combining strategic transformation expertise with AI-powered intelligence, Deloitte and Fieldstream are collaborating to help operators move beyond spend-led growth toward real-time, value-driven decision-making.

In the fast-moving world of iGaming, operators face a persistent challenge: turning marketing investments into predictable and reliable value. With shrinking margins, substantial budgets, and fragmented channels, the pressure to demonstrate return on investment (ROI) has never been greater.

Yet, many operators still rely on disparate tools, sub-optimal or even manual processes, and partial visibility into what truly drives revenue and long-term value.

A collaboration built on complementary strengths

Deloitte and Fieldstream are strengthening their collaboration to help iGaming operators address this challenge head-on. Together, Deloitte and Fieldstream will enable operators to move beyond spend-led growth and acquisition metrics, towards real-time, value-driven decision-making.

“iGaming operators face intense pressure to balance growth ambitions with economic discipline,” says John Debattista, Deloitte Malta’s gaming sector leader. “By combining Deloitte’s AI-driven transformation expertise with Fieldstream’s value-focused intelligence, we can help clients move from spend-led growth to value-led decision-making.”

When Deloitte integrates a client’s data environment with Fieldstream’s platform, the result is a unified analytics capability that most operators do not have access to today.

Real-world impact: How operators benefit

In practice, many operators run campaigns across multiple markets, brands, and platforms. Without integrated analytics, answering critical questions about profitability, which acquisition channels deliver the highest lifetime value, or where budget is wasted becomes slow, manual, and uncertain.

Through the Deloitte-Fieldstream collaboration, operators gain:

All customer and marketing and data is present on a single analytics dashboard including spend, impressions, conversions, customer behaviour, and lifetime value. Teams gain clear insight into which channels and markets drive real value, not just volume.

Instead of waiting for monthly or retrospective reports, teams can monitor performance in real time. Underperforming campaigns can be paused, while budget is reallocated to higher-return markets and channels.

Before launching new campaigns or entering new markets, operators can model expected ROI using historical data and market conditions. This enables better forecasting, reduces risk, and stronger investment decisions.

“We bring a platform purpose-built to support the operational and economic realities that underpin profitability in iGaming,” says Fieldstream CEO Staffan Engström. “This enables operators and executive teams to move beyond short-term acquisition metrics and evaluate marketing decisions through the lens of sustainable value, not just volume.”
