In the iGaming industry, a smooth onboarding process is crucial to keeping new players engaged. Here’s how you can improve it:

Main Onboarding Problems

New players often face three key issues: lengthy sign-up processes, delays in ID verification, and unclear guidance.

Long Sign-Up Forms

Too many fields can frustrate users and lead to drop-offs before they even start.

Slow ID Verification

Delays in completing KYC (Know Your Customer) checks can discourage players from continuing.

Unclear Instructions

Confusing steps and the absence of progress indicators leave players unsure of what to do next, increasing the likelihood they’ll quit.
