The problem

High-value players (5+ sessions a week) are worth 23× an average player over 24 months, and they were leaving.

What we learned

What the field told us.

01

The decision to leave happens 3 weeks before closing the account.

Play frequency drops 23% at D-21, 50% at D-13, 77% at D-6.

02

12/12 experts cite a missing feature.

In-game notes, hand review, multi-table launch.

Outcome

Roadmap reprioritised on expert features, and a churn signal based on play frequency proposed to act during the 3-week window.
