💬 "Curiosity and intellectual honesty have always been my anchors. I’ve experienced the most enduring progress when I changed my perspective in the face of new facts." (Thomas Kolbabek) 👉 As part of their "CTO in Focus" series, Gaming Eminence spoke with Thomas Kolbabek, CTO of Golden Whale about building resilient systems, leading with curiosity, and embracing experimentation within regulatory constraints. Thomas shared why intellectual honesty and modular architecture have shaped his approach across industries, and how a “no-integration” data platform reflects his instinct to challenge norms. From enabling autonomy in fast-feedback environments to likening compliance to “flying a helicopter in a living room,” Thomas unpacks the evolving intersection of deep tech and behavioural insight—and why the future of gaming must be driven by data, not assumptions.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿-𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁? 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁? Most operators say they put the player first. But is that reflected in their marketing? In the latest NEXT in Marketing, Golden Whale COO Claudia Heiling breaks down how a player-first mindset drives retention, loyalty, and lifetime value. Start by tracking the full player journey. From first interaction to long-term loyalty. Let data shape your strategy. Machine learning can help you predict what players need. Then let your team add the human touch. Speak when the player wants to listen at the right time and place. Make rewards feel timely, not generic. Design loyalty that’s personal, not programmatic. The most successful brands blend automation with empathy. Don't just market to players. Market for them. #iGaming #Marketing #Retention #Automation #MachineLearning
