ActiveWin Announces Support for Gambling Brands

ActiveWin Media Group has announced that it will support the betting brands during the coronavirus crisis by offering free auditing services for PPC, display media, SEO, social, CRM, and live chat reviews to help sportsbook operators, game developers, virtual sports, and white-labels.
The company also waived the monthly PPC management fees for the first month of activity, with reduced costs for the following two months for new clients to ease the economic impact of global lockdowns.
“Digital engagement is now critical for the survival of betting sites. Since we offer a full suite of digital options, we can share expertise beyond PPC and affiliate marketing. Our speciality is multi-channel campaigns that work in conjunction with each other for acquisition and retention, taking a holistic approach to how a brand performs across all player touchpoints. In-house experts execute the majority of our work instead of relying on automated third-party services to make strategic decisions, so if brands glean even a small advantage from our advice, we consider it a win,” Mark Baker, Marketing Director of ActiveWin, said.
“Our initial priority was to do everything we possibly could for our brand partners like Betfred and Kerching once the lockdown hit. Immediately, we collaborated with clients to support them in every way we could. My team has executed the strategies beautifully, and we are on stable ground,” Warren Jacobs, MD of ActiveWin, said.
“Once we had steadied the ship for clients, we decided to look outwards at ways to help the industry with the resources we have available, and leverage the four-decades of experience that my senior team has accrued in e-gaming. So we will highlight gaps in media bidding strategies that burn through spend and find better ways to optimise campaigns to put brands in a much stronger position when the crisis finally lifts,” Warren Jacobs added.

Gaming Americas Weekly Roundup – September 8-15

Welcome to our weekly roundup of American gambling news again! Here, we are going through the weekly highlights of the American gambling industry which include the latest news and new partnerships. Read on and get updated.
Latest News
IGT announced that its much-anticipated Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin electronic table game (ETG) recently made its world debut at Downtown Grand Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. The vibrant standalone ETG game includes many of the attributes that have propelled the success of the Wheel of Fortune slots franchise for nearly three decades including word puzzles, wheel spins and exciting jackpot rewards. The game is accompanied by an attention-grabbing, 9-plus-feet upright video wheel that stands independent of the ETG terminals and entertains casino guests with the famous “WHEEL-OF-FORTUNE!” chant.
MGM Resorts International has announced that Corey Sanders, Chief Operating Officer, will retire from the company after more than 30 years of dedicated service and leadership. Sanders has agreed to remain COO through Dec. 31, 2025, and to serve as an advisor to the President and CEO through Dec. 31, 2026. The Company intends to name a new COO to serve as Sanders’ successor later this month. Sanders is currently MGM Resorts’ Chief Operating Officer, overseeing the company’s Las Vegas and regional properties as well as multiple corporate departments, including Hospitality, Gaming, Human Resources and Strategic Initiatives. Prior to that, he served as the company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.
Members of Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation, the Sherwood Valley Rancheria of Pomo Indians, the Mechoopda Indian Tribe of Chico Rancheria and Big Lagoon Rancheria gathered outside the State Capitol in Sacramento to protest Assembly Bill 831 (AB 831). If passed, the bill would limit economic opportunities available to less wealthy tribes in the state by banning legitimate online social games using sweepstakes promotions. It would also eliminate more than $1 billion of existing economic activity generated by the industry in California, and close off a potential new revenue source for the state via sensible, modern regulation and taxation.
Partnerships
Genius Sports Limited has expanded its long-term partnership with Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook (Hard Rock Bet) to power the top-rated platform with its market-leading official data, trading and marketing solutions, as well as its ground-breaking BetVision product. Genius Sports has worked in partnership with the leading operator since 2021, providing the highest quality official data and pinpoint trading solutions across top tier leagues globally, including the Premier League, Serie A, European Leagues, Liga MX, NFL and more. Hard Rock Bet will be able to provide its customers with Genius Sports’ first-of-its-kind BetVision low latency streaming solution.
Quick Custom Intelligence (QCI), a leading provider of data-driven casino intelligence and player engagement platforms, has announced that Dania Beach Casino is continuing to benefit from its deployment of the QCI Nimble platform. While the property currently focuses on the QCI Host and QCI Marketing modules, it has expressed enthusiasm about the capabilities of the new AGI56 release and its impact on future customer engagement strategies. AGI56 represents the most ambitious release in QCI’s history, with the platform undergoing a full refresh of its technology stack, improved integration of advanced analytics, and the introduction of generative AI-driven tooling through Chatalytics.com. QCI’s platform is currently deployed in more than 350 casinos worldwide.
