Ahead of ICE Barcelona, iGaming software company Endorphina has initiated a viral LinkedIn campaign that swiftly attracted the industry’s interest. The Roach Challenge, a creativity initiative powered by AI, naturally inundated LinkedIn timelines with cockroach personas of iGaming experts without any paid advertising.

The challenge encourages participants to generate an AI image depicting themselves as a cockroach and post it on LinkedIn, tagging Endorphina and including the hashtag #RoachChallenge. Although seemingly strange at first, the idea directly embodies Endorphina’s forthcoming ICE booth design and the release of its new slot game, Cockroach Fortune.

The campaign expands on Endorphina’s “house of roaches” idea, using a bold, playful, and somewhat chaotic visual style that deliberately disregards conventional exhibition marketing in favor of distinctiveness, humor, and lasting impact.

100% Organic Results in the First 24 Hours:

8,066 impressions (+328% organically)
2,704 reached users (+357% organically)
747 clicks (+104%)
189 reactions (+373%)
12 comments (+140%)
6 reposts (+200%)
450+ organic interactions, with a 9% CTR

Within the initial day, over 100 iGaming experts, featuring delegates from operators, suppliers, affiliates, and B2B platforms, participated in the challenge, transforming it into a community-focused industry event instead of a solely brand-driven initiative.

The Roach Challenge is active until January 21 at 14:00, the last day of ICE Barcelona. Two winners named Mr. Roach and Mrs. Roach will each get an iPad mini, delivered either on-site or in the EU.

Endorphina’s team initiated the trend early by posting their AI-created cockroach versions, sparking a surge of user-generated content and natural reposts throughout the LinkedIn iGaming community.

Through complete reliance on organic engagement and community involvement, Endorphina illustrates how bold creativity can create significant visibility and dialogue even prior to the exhibition’s opening.
