Good on you mate. I've made a point in changing industries as much as possible over my career. There are many transferable skills (depending on your role/experience) and whilst learning the operational/industry specific stuff can be a challenge it can also be very rewarding

Sorry to hear about the job.

So what does the analyst role in igaming entail?

It could be many things - analysis of marketing / CRM effectiveness - which campaigns bring in most first time depositors / repeat depositors other measures of ROI. Could be analysis of product verticals - different games with different RTPs / placement of games on website etc. Could be straight forward finance analyst role.

Good luck mate good industry to work in both professionally and socially. Might see you at Sigma if it takes place this year.

Honestly mate I have worked in industry for over 10 years its a completely different place (among companies with UK licence) than it was when I started out and rightfully so.

There are other less altruistic factors at play too - analysis shows that customers who have deposit limits for example remain longer customers - therefore the revenue is more sustainable for the business and the play is safer for the customer.

Or ....... cold windy day, horrible beer, a rain soaked walk to the ground, crap food crapper beer - lose the game - and get wet going home.
 
Buzzing for you marra, plenty young fanny in them Igaming companies. If I had me head right I'd be back over soon as possible but I'm pretty settled in the civil service now and moving house on the weekend so it will have to wait.
 
Well done for taking the leap mate.
