Focus on Engaging Whales in Freemium Model

In the freemium model, the key focus is on engaging high-spending players known as 'whales'.

The success of products like Stash relies on catering to the small percentage of users who contribute the majority of the revenue. Understanding the non-traditional probability distribution of spend and engagement in this model, which is not bell-shaped but exponentially decreasing, is crucial for navigating the freemium space effectively.
