6. Unrivaled gaming experience
Global workforce
Integrating disparate data sources isn’t easy, but in today’s world of
demanding customers, businesses have to know everything they
can about their customers. Qualex Asia has implemented solutions
that combine patron data with POS, retail, social media, mobile
and analytical data. This kind of customer personalization has been
completed for large integrated resorts in Macau, on cruise lines
throughout the ASEAN region and at sports books in both Macau
and Australia.
Casinos can use this information to predict patron attrition, calculate
total patron value, and identify cross-sell and up-sell opportunities. A
reporting framework also allows marketers to track and analyze how
campaigns are working, while providing a consolidated business
view across all of a company’s marketing channels.

to make analytics easy. With 70+ connectors to the most common data sources (like SQL, Google
Analytics, Facebook and Twiter data), and an SDK for those less-common ones, Datameer lets
businesses load structured, semi-structured, and/or unstructured data from any source with ease.
How can Datameer help casinos?
• Spot and act upon fradulent behavior
• Align pricing to table demand almost in real-time
• Understand the true price and cost of VIP customers
• Spot problem or addictive gambling behavior in almost real-time
• Add unstructured social media data to structured patron data to create personalization
• Geo-locate patrons as they move about a casino to understand behavior and floor dynamics
• Enrich data with dimensions like geo-location or merchant metadata and then run time series
analysis to spot marketing opportunities
Datameer enables business analysts to utilize both descriptive and predictive analytics models
quicker and more effectively to dramatically increase ROI. Qualex Asia and Datameer are committed

12. BetWatch™
BetWatch™ is a real time risk management solution developed for the wagering
industry. BetWatch™ tracks individual bets and alerts an end user in a sports book’s
trading department when a segment bets outside the Sports book’s defined
“comfort zone”. A segment that doesn’t consistently beat the book can exceed the
thresholds without triggering an alert; it is only when a customer from a segment
that has been marked as a “watch” segment wagers an amount large enough to
exceed the Sports book’s threshold level that alerts will be triggered. This way a
sports book can proactively manage their risks on offered bets.
BetWatch™ can also assist in the following areas:
• Risk Management
• Customer Profiling
• Customer Experience Management
• Problem Gambling
• Anti-Money Laundering (AML)
