Eight numbers to bring to the Locker Room

| By iGB Freelance
This Thursday, GR8_TECH will convene a small group of operators for a closed-door benchmarking session built around a short working list – the eight numbers every participant is being asked to bring.

Announced two weeks ago, the format of The Locker Room: World Cup Numbers is deliberately closed, with no media and the Chatham House Rule in effect throughout.

The session isn’t a tournament recap but a working analysis of what operators actually saw across margin, product tools, retention and peak-load performance; how each participant’s version compares with the room; and which learnings from the data can be used for planning the next big events.

The eight questions

To help participants arrive prepared – and to give operators still weighing registration a clear view of the ground the session will cover – GR8_TECH is sharing a benchmarking framework for the attendees: eight questions, answerable in relative terms (percentages, splits and ranges) so operators can benchmark honestly without disclosing absolute revenue. Any operator can pull all eight in roughly 30 minutes:

  • World Cup GGR against your own forecast (%)
  • Live versus pre-match turnover split during the tournament
  • Your top three markets by handle beyond 1X2
  • Your best-performing product tool during the tournament – bet builder, cash out, boosts, streaming, or props – and the one that flopped
  • Share of new registrations acquired during the World Cup window, and how many of that cohort are still active now
  • Promo and bonus cost as a percentage of World Cup GGR, plus the honest verdict: did it pay back?
  • Your peak-concurrency moment, and whether the platform held
  • One win you’d repeat, one miss you’d fix

What participants leave with

After The Locker Room: World Cup Numbers, every attendee will receive a personalised one-page benchmark snapshot: the room’s aggregated poll data, fully anonymised, with each participant’s own answers marked against it. It’s the reference line that doesn’t exist anywhere else – the collective view of where the World Cup actually landed across the room.

Alongside the snapshot, the session itself gives operators direct access to Dinos Doxiadis, head of sportsbook business at GR8_TECH, for its full duration – a working preview of the year-round expertise GR8_TECH clients rely on.

“Come and go deep on your own World Cup numbers with me on Thursday,” said Doxiadis, head of sportsbook business at GR8_TECH.

“This is a rare kind of conversation to have in the industry, and it’s the one I’m most looking forward to: a precise diagnosis of what worked and what didn’t, and a real plan for the next cycle – not a generic playbook.”
