3 Oaks Gaming has added a new bonus mechanic, Flexible Free Spins, to its promotional tools offering, the company said.

The feature allocates free spins based on a total value rather than a fixed number of spins at a set stake. Players can then select how to use the award from up to 20 options, choosing between different combinations of bet size and spin count while staying within the same budget.

3 Oaks Gaming said each option is mathematically pre-calculated to remain within the defined value. When the award is issued, players see a modal pop-up with the available choices, with the default selection set to the median option.

Anna Nozdran, Acting Product Owner at 3 Oaks Gaming, said: “Flexible Free Spins deliver a fresh take on the traditional bonus setup within an online slot, providing players with greater control over their gameplay experience that suits their preferences.

“Every option is pre-calculated within the same budget, ensuring consistency for operators while offering a more dynamic experience for players. We firmly believe this new addition will complement the existing 3 Oaks Gaming portfolio and deliver greater value for our partners.”

Blask data: lottery drives 78% of France’s gambling search demand

New category-level analysis breaks down non-branded iGaming demand by vertical across France, Brazil, India, Italy and Switzerland.

Blask says lottery-related queries account for around 78% of total gambling search demand in France, outweighing online casino (~10%) and live dealer, betting and poker (each ~4%). The company positions the data as evidence that sports betting is not the primary driver of gambling demand in every market.

Blask said the figures come from non-branded search data and are part of a new category-level analysis feature designed to break down demand across verticals and subcategories within each market. The tool is intended to help operators compare player intent across jurisdictions, including “lottery in France, football betting in Brazil, or culturally driven formats in India.”

Outside France, Blask’s data shows Brazil is more betting-led, with online betting at ~52% of demand, which the company attributes largely to football. Lottery represents ~25%, fantasy sports ~11%, while casino (~6%) and live dealer (~2%) remain smaller segments.

India is described as more evenly distributed, with lottery at ~35% and live dealer at ~29%, and online casino, betting and fantasy each at roughly 10%. In Europe, Italy’s demand is reported as seasonally influenced by football, with fantasy sports leading at ~37%, while Switzerland is presented as casino-first, with online casino at ~38%.

Across the markets analysed, Blask said two themes recur: older categories often remain the biggest, and regulation heavily shapes demand. Where certain verticals are restricted, the company said interest tends to shift into adjacent or offshore segments rather than disappearing.
