What is LTV (Lifetime Value)?

LTV (Lifetime Value) is the total net revenue a player generates for the operator throughout their entire activity period on the platform. In the operations industry, LTV is one of the most critical metrics because it directly determines profitability.

Basic Formula: LTV = Average Monthly Revenue × Average Active Duration (Months) − Acquisition Cost

Why is LTV So Important?

Marketing ROI: You must know LTV to understand whether player acquisition costs (CPA) are paying off
Resource allocation: Investing more in high-LTV segments increases profitability
Churn prevention: If LTV decline is detected early, win-back campaigns can be launched in time
Affiliate evaluation: Knowing which affiliates bring high-LTV players optimizes commission strategy
