Hey folks, I’ve been diving deep into the iGaming space lately and I’m exploring launching a startup in this sector. I’m particularly interested in understanding how different iGaming models—like sports betting platforms, online casinos, or game development studios—should be pitched differently to potential investors. Is there a standard approach, or do investors look for unique things in each model? Would love some real-world advice, especially if you've pitched or raised funding in this niche.

Greetings, I’ve had some success in the iGaming space and I can tell you firsthand that tailoring your pitch depending on the type of startup is essential. Investors typically focus on scalability, regulatory readiness, user retention strategies, and your unique edge. For example, betting platforms need to prove their legal frameworks are airtight, while game studios should highlight originality and player engagement metrics. I highly recommend reading this detailed article which covers exactly what investors are looking for: https://www.psuconnect.in/articles/igaming-startups-what-investors-are-looking-for. It breaks down the nuances between models and what matters most to backers. A must-read if you're pitching in this space.
