PLATINUM SPONSOR
Raphie is an iGaming-native customer support company with proprietary AI technology. Raphie partners with iGaming operators – sportsbooks, online casinos – to enhance their CX processes and capabilities, transforming customer journeys and positively impacting success metrics, such as player satisfaction, retention, LTV and churn. For eight years, the company has built and operated a turnkey iGaming platform for operators, and ran the player support function itself – hiring, training, and managing teams of up to 200 agents for a single brand. That operational foundation now powers Raphie’s AI platform, which has helped migrate operators from heavy human operations to 80%+ automation end-to-end, without trading away the player experience. Raphie helps operators protect player loyalty and scale player support without rebuilding their operation. Built for regulated markets and enterprise operators.
