The Client
One of the largest skill-based mobile gaming platforms in its category.
MPL · Player Base
MPL is one of the largest skill-based mobile gaming platforms in its category — with a player base that spans casual mobile gamers, committed cash-game players, and a dedicated bingo community.
MPL engaged Wandr to prepare the brand for a specific strategic move: entering the United States market.

The Challenge
Five problems surfaced the moment we started the audit.
The existing website wasn't built for where MPL was going. Each problem mapped to a different gating factor for U.S. market entry.
Problem 01
Trust.
The U.S. real-money gaming market is one of the most skeptical consumer environments in the world. Players don't download — they investigate. Licensing, fair-play, payment security, and responsible gaming aren't footer items in this market. They're gating factors.
Problem 02
Conversion.
Every audience — bingo players, cash-game players, casual gamers — funneled through the same generic landing experience. Three distinct user motivations, one undifferentiated entry point. Each segment lost on the way in.
Problem 03
Brand positioning.
The site's voice, hierarchy, and visual language didn't match the institutional credibility MPL needed to compete in a regulated, trust-driven market. It looked like a gaming site. It needed to feel like an institution.

Research
Before any pixel moved.
We spent the first phase of the engagement doing three things in parallel — user research, competitive benchmarking, and an audit of the current site.
63.17%
User Research
Three personas grounded in behavior.
Casual gamer, committed player, office-context player. Each with different trust thresholds and conversion triggers.

Competitive Benchmarking
9 platforms audited.
Across gaming, real-money gaming, casual entertainment, and bingo. We looked at how they earned trust — not what they said.

Current Website Analysis
Structured teardown of MPL's existing site.
Where it was costing conversion, and which assumptions about players the data didn't support.
The three personas we built.
Persona 02
The Committed Player
"This is a regular habit. I need to know my money is safe and the games are fair."
Daily session
High stakes
Trust-driven
Persona 03
The Office-Context Player
"I play with colleagues. Social proof and community matter as much as the games."
Social play
Peer-driven
Community-led
Six principles, each tied to
a failure mode.
Principle 01
Trust
Lead with trust,
not game count.
The old site led with breadth. The new site leads with credibility signals — licensing, security, fairness — the barrier to first install in the U.S. market.
Principle 02
Segment
Segment the
landing experience.
Casual, cash-game, and bingo players don't share a funnel. We built differentiated entry paths so each audience sees what matches their motivation.
Principle 03
Bingo
Design bingo as
its own product.
Bingo has its own demographic, competitive landscape, and purchase behavior. It gets its own landing page strategy — not a shared one.
Principle 01 of

THE KEY INSIGHT
20+ templates, each carrying its own role.
Each surface was designed against the trust architecture. The home leads with credibility. The bingo page operates as its own product. Categories segment by player motivation. Every CTA names what the player is committing to.

Client Voice
In their words.
“
Wandr understood the strategic value of design from the start — they helped us build a product story that resonated with both users and regulators, and gave our team the system to execute against without ambiguity.
