2. why mentor?
mentor benefits the operator, the player and the
community in general.
› › › satisfied players
mentor’s main objective is player protection. For most
players, gambling is an enjoyable leisure activity.
However, a small minority of players can encounter
problems. mentor detects undesirable behavioral
tendencies and initiates personalized communication
with players, preventing problematic developments.
Players continue to enjoy your product, and customer
satisfaction increases.
››› increased loyalty
The gaming market – especially the online market – is a
highly competitive environment. Attracting new players
is expensive, and every customer lost is a lost invest-
ment. Loyalty is the key to an increased player lifetime.
The longer players use your products, the higher the
revenue per player. Once players run into gambling
problems, however, they are quickly lost forever. mentor
helps players to enjoy gambling within limits, while
extending their lifespan as a player. This gives you the
opportunity to build up a stable and profitable customer
relationship. In this way, mentor benefits both players
and operators.
› › › increased trustmark
Attracting players in the highly competitive gaming
market requires extensive marketing investment. How
can players distinguish trustworthy operators? mentor’s
objective and transparent approach is a true statement of
trust. It signals a strong customer-centric approach. A high
level of trust increases and strengthens existing customer
relationships, and helps to attract new customers. mentor
also signals transparency to regulators and the communi-
ty, which in turn increases confidence in operators.
› › › know your players
mentor not only supports informed player choice. It also
helps operators gain more insight into players’ behavio-
ral patterns. mentor supplies operators with valuable
information through standardized reports. The standar-
dized data interface can be used to immediately answer
ad hoc and recurring questions. This knowledge can in
turn be used to optimize the player experience and keep
gambling safe and enjoyable.

GAMSciLogic can be used across all channels. mentor
comes with multiple player language capability, a central
multi-language wording repository and many more

3. mentor’s scientific principles!
› › › psychology of gambling
Players have different motivations for gambling. Some
players gamble primarily to relax, whereas other gamb-
lers seek action and adrenalin. These, along with several
other motivators, lead to specific playing patterns.
mentor extracts those patterns and advises gamblers
accordingly.
› › › informed player choice
mentor is based on the theory of informed player choice.
Real change can only be initiated by individuals themsel-
ves. mentor provides players with individual and objecti-
ve feedback. Importantly, mentor also provides normati-
ve feedback, which has been proven to be most effective.
› › › motivational self-efficacy enhancement
Studies have shown that messages during or after play
have harm minimization effects on gambling behavior.
mentor goes one step further by personalizing communi-
cation with players. mentor’s communication plan is
based on the concept of motivational interviewing,
which has proven to be successful in a range of areas.
mentor’s GAMSciLogic controls who receives which
message at which point in time.
› › › recovery in the absence of abstinence
Studies have shown that up to 95% of recovered
problem gamblers still occasionally gamble. Primarily,
mentor helps to keep gambling safe and fun. However, it
also supports the small percentage of gamblers who
overextend themselves.
how does mentor work?
mentor utilizes personalized behavioral tracking data in order to give personalized feedback. mentor’s analysis engine extracts
and processes player data. The data is then loaded into the GAMSciLogic, which determines when to tell what to whom.
