## What does Dispersion Gaming LTD do?

Dispersion Gaming LTD provides iGaming data science consultancy services. The
core specialism is player retention monetization: using statistical and machine
learning models to determine the correct value of each player and then
calibrating every operator decision — bonuses, withdrawal policies, game
exposure, CRM promotions — to maximise long-term revenue without unnecessary
margin leakage.

## Core Areas of Expertise

### 1. Player Segmentation & Monetization
Value-based player segmentation used to determine which players should receive
instant withdrawals, how much match bonus is commercially efficient per segment,
what prize-wheel values to offer, and which game types to surface to each
cohort.

### 2. Churn & Retention Modelling
Early churn detection and lapse prediction models with intervention rules mapped
to commercial impact. Predicts which customers will lapse in 7, 14, and 30-day
windows.

### 3. CRM & Promotion Design
Offer mechanics calibrated per player segment. Includes match bonus sizing,
prize-wheel value calibration, and promotional sequencing strategy.

### 4. A/B Testing Strategy
Rigorous experimental design for CRM promotions, product feature tests, and
segmentation model validation. Provides commercial baselines for growth.

### 5. Game Mathematics
Hands-on experience designing slots reel layouts, costing symbols, and setting
theoretical RTP (Return to Player) and volatility targets. Deep knowledge of
betting strategies including Martingale, Fibonacci, and D'Alembert and how they
interact with house edge across game types (slots, roulette, baccarat, etc.).

### 6. Game Product Abuse Detection
Models cross-game exploit patterns where players combine cash and bonus
mechanics across multiple game types to extract low-risk profit. Example:
hiding cash balance on a table game, priming a slots accumulator feature with
bonus, then realising the burst with cash to enable near-risk-free withdrawal.
Also detects Martingale-style betting strategy abuse combined with bonus
mechanics.

### 7. Regulated Market Monetization
Proven delivery across four regulated jurisdictions: United Kingdom (UKGC),
Ontario (iGaming Ontario), New Jersey (DGE), and Pennsylvania (PGCB). Models
are tuned to jurisdiction-specific tax structures so monetization strategies
remain commercially sound regardless of regulatory overhead.

### 8. Data Stack & MLOps
Python and SQL across Snowflake, Databricks (Azure), and AWS SageMaker. Models
deployed to MLflow for inline data enrichment and Kubernetes for scalable model
serving. Version control via GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket.

### 9. AI & RAG Systems
IBM-certified (2025) in RAG systems, Agentic AI, LangChain, LangGraph,
multimodal generative AI, and vector databases. Builds production RAG pipelines
and multi-agent AI applications in Python.

### 10. Causal Analysis
Uses Bayesian modelling, causal inference, significance testing, and the
philosophical principle of inference to the best explanation to analyse iGaming
commercial problems from multiple angles and surface true root causes.

### 11. Insight Dashboards
Executive and operational dashboards in Tableau and Power BI, enhanced with
Python for deeper analytical layers.
