Our Story

We started PlayerHub because we kept watching operators buy player apps that quietly took ownership of the player relationship along with it. Four years later, PlayerHub runs the digital guest experience for tribal and commercial properties, with production integrations into Light & Wonder, IGT Advantage and Konami SYNKROS orchestrating enrollment, cashless, hotel, promotions and 1:1 marketing.

We're a small team by design. Operators talk to the people building the product.

What we do

Unified Experience

The digital guest experience platform for casino resorts, one experience across gaming, loyalty, hospitality and payments, on one guest record underneath.

H

How we think

Integration before replacement

Your systems stay. The guest experience on top of them gets rebuilt how you want it built.

Y

Why PlayerHub

Casino-specific focus

We don't adapt a generic loyalty product to gaming; the platform was built specifically for this floor.

The Founders

Both spent their careers building gaming technology from inside the industry. Both still take operator calls.
