NSoft: Push notifications in the Betting and Gaming
The global sports betting & gaming market is thriving like never before. According to the findings of the Zion Market Research study, the sports betting industry gathered revenue of about US$ 131.1 billion in 2020 and is slated to earn revenue of approximately US$ 179.3 billion in 2028. As numerous markets worldwide are on the path to becoming regulated ones, new opportunities are arising for providers in LatAm, Africa, and the United States.
The sports betting and gaming software providers join forces with local suppliers and operators to expand in the local markets and implement player protection and anti-money laundering measures.
As the competition is getting heavier in acquiring new punters, here at NSoft, we strive to give our customers and partners the best practices and tools to help them market their products in healthy and responsible ways.
Our ongoing commitment to implementing the Responsible Gaming Policy is a critical part of our everyday business practices. With players’ safety in our mind, the focus is also on using only cutting-edge technology to unleash the creativity of our developers and designers; NSoft aims to deliver effective customer-centric solutions for audiences worldwide.
Innovations within the Seven Sportsbook platform
The foundation of any successful betting and gaming business lies in a powerful and unified platform that runs like clockwork.
NSoft’s iGaming platform Seven empowers the brand and builds loyalty by providing an omnichannel experience on each channel: retail, terminal, responsive online, and mobile dedicated App – a native one, both for Android and iOS, not just “mobile view” sold as an App, with several paying methods. Our sports betting applications provide a user-friendly interface and higher performance for mobile users.
Years of experience are behind us. Seven is omnichannel, feature-rich, scalable, jurisdictionally compliant, and provides a full range of player monitoring and management tools, including segmentation tools, advanced reporting, payment, etc. security, all in one place.
Seven betting platform was recently improved by enhancing it with another module – the integration of the Xtremepush module for the online channel, emphasizing mobile apps. Since push notifications are a handy communication platform, betting operators can benefit from them on multiple levels, including reaching new customers, onboarding, and delivering highly engaging content.
Personalizing players’ on-site experience to reach high engagement levels
NSoft is focused on the players and their reactions while they’re playing our virtual games, placing wagers on attractive matches, or spinning the reel of our Casino games.
Delivering dynamic content and real-time player experience with all of our products is most important. What drives the punter to place the deposit and make his first bet?
The synergy between the provider, NSoft, and our partners, comes to light here with the common goal of engaging the audiences across every device and channel.
Who are they? What are the punters looking for? What drives the excitement?
Players’ segmentation and profiling help us create personalized and valuable offers and relevant content that resonates with their needs.
The push notifications come in handy here. As mentioned above, thanks to the integration of the Xtremepush module, the online channel is now enriched with a form of a highly personalized piece of communication – push notifications.
Now we can optimize player acquisition and fuel engagement by sending relevant messages via push notifications. This valuable communication channel with the punters is quite direct and beneficial and provides real user value to the customer.
And let’s not forget how time is vital for push notifications. We gain so much by doing the customer segmentation first and then targeting the right customer with carefully planned and personalized messages at the right time. The higher levels of App engagement are easy to reach as push notifications are a remarkable tool for communication.
Simple and effective push notifications
After the segmentation and profiling of the players are done, we are fully aware of their preferences and desires, so the next step is taking action to create relevant content that resonates with their needs.
What else can be achieved with push notifications?
Increasing bet frequency is also one of the goals to be reached. A personalized app push notification can be sent at the right time to users based on their previously shown interest and behavior on mobile. Thus intelligent segmentation drives players towards odds they have shown interest in.
With the help of Xtremepush, NSoft has valuable insight into the analytics of players and their preferences. Re-engaging the dormant players is one of the challenges. When they are inactive for some time, we can spark their interest by sending them intelligent notifications with data aligned with their past actions and interests. For example, engage them with odds and offers you know are likely to appeal to them because they’re connected with their favorite football team.
Delivering real-time odds to players at the crucial moments will help us capitalize on the essential Live events and matches. In that case, the push notifications can nudge the players by offering them additional bets (penalty decisions, yellow cards, etc.) on games they have already bet on or shown interest in.
Through the highly personalized user journeys backed with data-driven analytics, push notifications are a powerful tool for increasing engagement and bringing players back into Apps by offering them relevant and exciting content.

Nolimit City revisits the brutal factory life in Outsourced: Slash Game
Nolimit City takes you back to the grind with its latest release, Outsourced: Slash Game. For those who thought their consumerist cravings were a safe indulgence, think again. Following in the footsteps of Outsourced, this new addition pulls back the curtain on the sweat and sacrifice lurking behind those everyday luxuries—this time with a dash of danger. Outsourced: Slash Game is the studio’s second venture into crash-style gameplay, the first being xCrash™ in Skate or Die – but this time it’s a standalone crash game!
In Slash Game, players have to make some cutthroat decisions as a laser traces the outline of their hand, increasing the multiplier with every pass. Players hit “stop” to cash out, locking in the multiplier when they feel the timing is right. After which, they will be shown the potential winnings if they wouldn’t have stopped. But here’s the catch: if players hesitate a second too long and the laser slips, all the winnings are lost. A live scoreboard displays the Top Win, Top Miss and Last Round, so that players can keep track of their previous rounds.
Outsourced: Slash Game is not a familiar Nolimit City slot to some players but could cause some excitement with an increasing multiplier and a maximum payout of 1,500x the base bet. Outsourced: Slash Game, unlike Nolimit City’s high-volatility slots, is rated as ‘Medium Volatility’ but don’t let that fool you as it still includes the risk of losing your hand.
Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “Get back to work, will you? We’re bringing players back to the unrelenting factory floor of Outsourced with an all-new twist. Slash Game is a standalone take on our crash-style games, and it’s packed with plenty of heart-stopping moments (and maybe a few hand-stopping ones, too). We’re thrilled with how it turned out and we hope that our fans will be too!“
‘Outsourced: Slash Game’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on November 5th, 2024.

The mobile gaming market is growing and attracting new companies. GAMIVO is the latest example
Usually, consoles and PCs come to mind when discussing the gaming industry. The mobile sector is often treated as a child of a lesser god, even though it generates almost as much revenue as console and PC combined. Some companies can see this potential. For instance, the e-commerce platform GAMIVO has recently entered the mobile market, allowing players to buy in-game items cheaper.
Back on course
The entire video game industry has evolved incredibly, but the most spectacular has been the growth of the mobile sector. It expanded from 36.9 million dollars in 2016 to 93.2 billion in 2021. Unfortunately, the gaming market suffered from a decline that stemmed from the overoptimism of the pandemic era. As a result, the mobile gaming industry revenues dropped to 92.2 billion in 2022 and to 90.5 billion in 2023. Recent information has indicated this was a necessary correction rather than a long-term trend.
The latest Newzoo report, issued in August 2024, shows that the industry is on the right track again. According to analysts, the mobile sector will generate revenues of $92.6 billion, representing +3.0% growth year-on-year. It’s nearly half of the entire gaming industry.
Billions of players
Revenues are crucial, but they only show part of the story. To fully understand the size and potential of mobile gaming, it’s necessary to consider the number of players, which constantly grew even when revenues dropped. Newzoo estimates that it will reach 2.8 billion in 2024. It means that almost twice as many people play on mobile devices than on PCs and consoles combined. Currently, every third person on Earth plays on mobile devices, and there’s still space for further growth.
“There are emerging markets where smartphones and mobile networks can expand, providing new potential players. Furthermore, this type of entertainment has a low entry barrier because most popular games are free and don’t require high-end devices,” explains Mateusz Śmieżewski, the CEO at GAMIVO.
One hobby, different habits
GAMIVO is an example of a company that has recently joined the party to get a piece of the mobile pie. “We examined the mobile market for a very long time, trying to find a suitable place for us. It’s essential to understand that mobile gaming and mobile gamers differ from their PC or console counterparts. You can’t do the same things you do with PC and consoles and hope to replicate your success,” said Mateusz Śmieżewski.
Studies confirm this observation. Average PC and console players spend about 2.1 hours a day in virtual worlds. It’s half an hour more than mobile gamers. However, things get interesting when we take a look at playtime per week, which is the same for mobile and console (5.4 hours) and slightly longer for PC (5.7 hours). Moreover, typical PC and console owners play 2.6 and 2.7 days a week, respectively, while mobile players play 3.4 days per week.
Those statistics prove that PC and console players are more dedicated, spending more time in games’ worlds once they enter them. However, mobile gamers prefer shorter but more frequent sessions. They play while commuting or have a short amount of free time.
“Mobile players are more willing to uninstall games and give another title a chance. Hence, the gameplay has to be captivating and designed to provide quick but intense sessions.
Furthermore, even though the average weekly playtime is identical to PC players, many mobile players don’t think of themselves as gamers,” clarifies Mateusz Śmieżewski.
Another major difference regards the way in which revenue is generated. PC and console games traditionally represent the premium model, where players buy the game. Most popular mobile releases are free and generate revenue with microtransactions. Almost all titles allow players to spend their real money on virtual coins, crystals, and other items that can be used to unlock additional content or reduce cooldowns.
Entering the mobile market
Those contrasts and nuances scare most companies from the mobile market. Let’s see how GAMIVO has coped with this.
“We decided to launch a new product category dedicated to mobile gamers. Our model allows them to top up in-game accounts cheaply. As a result, they can save up to 30% on buying virtual items, upgrades, and other content. The GAMIVO offer includes the most popular mobile titles, such as Genshin Impact and PUBG Mobile, and still extends,” describes Mateusz Śmieżewski.
“We dedicated a lot of time to research and analyses. Also, the development process required a lot of work to provide GAMIVO customers with safe transactions and a user-friendly environment. The first reactions are very positive, confirming our belief that our decision was right and there is still more space in the mobile game market,” concludes the GAMIVO CEO.
