Head of Growth Experiments (Gaming)
If you are a Head of Growth Experiments in gaming, you are under pressure to find new angles, funnels and channels that can actually scale, not just bring a few lucky wins. You need partners who understand gaming and iGaming realities and can talk growth in concrete numbers, not abstractions.
A practical first step is to outline your current experiments, key funnels and regions, and then compare them with external ideas and checklists so expectations are aligned from the start and both sides clearly understand what you want to test and how you will judge success.
In brief
- You may be looking for fresh growth concepts in gaming and iGaming, from new funnel structures to alternative traffic sources, and for peers who openly share what really works in high‑volume campaigns rather than theory.
- A suitable format can be expert conversations, checklists and structured discussions around specific verticals like sweepstakes, casino or affiliate growth, where strategies and funnels are broken down in a practical way.
- Before starting, it makes sense to clarify your goals, volumes and risk tolerance, and to agree in advance on how you will evaluate ideas, campaigns and partners so that both sides share the same expectations.
What to do
As a Head of Growth Experiments in gaming, you are constantly testing new approaches and need to understand which verticals, funnels and creatives are worth your team’s time. Content and discussions that go deep into topics like sweepstakes, buying strategies and profit per buyer can help you benchmark your own ideas and spot gaps in your current setup.
For this, formats such as detailed podcast episodes, networking dinners and structured checklists can be useful. In-depth talks about why a particular vertical is a good entry point, which funnels are relevant right now, and what performance levels are realistic give you material to compare with your own experiments. Closed networking events for growth and affiliate leaders create space to discuss growth strategies and potential partnerships.
To start carefully, you can first review available expert materials and checklists to clarify your own criteria for partners and campaigns. Then, when you reach out to an external team, share your current funnels, volumes and constraints so you can jointly decide which ideas are worth testing and what should be checked on your side before any launch.
What to keep in mind
Any external ideas or frameworks for gaming growth should be treated as input for your own testing, not as guaranteed playbooks. Discussions about verticals, funnels and profits are useful for orientation, but each product, region and traffic mix behaves differently in practice.
There can be limitations related to your internal resources, compliance rules, data access and reporting. It is important to agree in advance on what will be checked on your product or site, which metrics matter most to you, and how you will attribute impact from external campaigns or partners.
This makes the next step more reasonable: you come into a conversation with a clear view of your current situation and constraints, use external checklists and expert talks as a guide, and then jointly decide which cautious, measurable experiments to run first instead of overcommitting to untested ideas.
