Entain PLC is going to double the investment in its in-house games studios to accelerate and expand its ability to provide customers with new and exclusive products and experiences.

Headcount will double to around 300 people across Entain’s three in-house studios in the UK, Italy, and India within a year, to deliver exciting, exclusive new products and experiences across all its markets, including the US. CR Games, Entain’s UK games studio based near Oldham, Manchester, will initially create 8 new roles taking its headcount close to 50.

New content includes free-to-play slots tournaments, believed to be the first of its kind, giving customers a great choice of free games to play and win cash prizes.

Following the recent sponsorship between its PartyCasino and PartyPoker brands and McLaren, customers will get exclusive access to Formula 1 themed casino content and games later this year. Entain is also developing new experiences for customers using immersive technologies and plans to upweight this capability at its in-house studios. The Group’s first VR product for customers – a multi-activity sports club – is due later in the year.

“We love giving our customers great experiences and exciting entertainment as that is the bedrock of what we do. Increasing our investment across all three of our in-house games studios will provide more of that for our customers across all our global brands,” Jette Nygaard-Andersen, Chief Executive of Entain, said.

“By widening our offer with new and exclusive games, such as free-to-play tournaments, we give existing and new customers more reasons to use our products. This not only helps to grow our business but brings fresh insight, so we can further improve the offer for our customers,” Jette Nygaard-Andersen added.

“Our priority is always to create exciting, engaging products that give our customers choice. Not only does this enhance the experience for the millions of people who enjoy our products, but is an important driver of Entain’s growth. These exclusive, innovative, and tailored games are really valued by our customers. Developing more of our own games means we have complete control over what goes into them, not just in giving our customers a great experience, but also keeping them safe,” Colin Cole-Johnson, Gaming Director at Entain, said.

FA CHAI Gaming Introduces Player Achievement System

Published

on

fa-chai-gaming-introduces-player-achievement-system

FA CHAI Gaming has introduced its Player Achievement System, a long-term progression framework designed for online casino platforms and operator partners to drive sustained engagement, repeat play and deeper player connection.

The system moves beyond short-lived promotions by transforming everyday gameplay into structured objectives, visible progress and meaningful milestones. At the centre of this approach is the FA CHAI Card, a cross-game reward mechanism that allows player achievements to extend beyond a single game and into a broader FA CHAI Gaming ecosystem.

The Player Achievement System is more than an add-on feature—it functions as a behavioural engine designed to improve the KPIs that matter most to operators. By combining achievement-based goals, missions and progression rewards, platforms can cultivate stronger player habits and longer lifecycle value.

Sustainable retention: visible progress and long-term objectives encourage players to return consistently.

More stable engagement: achievement-driven tasks support regular activity across sessions and weeks.

Healthier wagering patterns: cumulative goals motivate play naturally, without excessive bonus dependency.

Deeper player attachment: achievements turn gameplay into a personal journey rather than isolated actions.

Stronger ecosystem loyalty: cross-game rewards reinforce attachment to the broader FA CHAI Gaming portfolio.

Many engagement tools in the market rely on short-term incentives that generate brief activity spikes followed by rapid decline. The Player Achievement System focuses instead on the drivers of repeat behavior: clarity, continuity and purpose.

Progress over promotion: players work towards ongoing achievements rather than reacting to one-time offers.

Lower friction, higher satisfaction: rewards are earned through play, reducing frustration and drop-off.

Built-in freshness: evolving goals and rotating missions help prevent engagement fatigue.

Operational efficiency: structured progression reduces the need for constant campaign rebuilding.

Designed to scale: the framework can evolve alongside platform strategy and player growth.

The Player Achievement System is designed to adapt across FA CHAI Gaming’s supported games, with initial implementation focused on slot-style gameplay. The underlying logic remains intentionally flexible, allowing future expansion into additional game experiences without restructuring the system foundation.

Player actions contribute to visible achievement progress through daily and weekly missions, turning routine gameplay into measurable advancement. As objectives are completed, players unlock new achievement tiers and long-term progression paths, creating a clear sense of growth over time.

A core pillar of the Player Achievement System is the FA CHAI Card. Serving as a cross-game reward mechanism, FA CHAI Cards allow players to convert achievements earned in one game into free game opportunities across other FA CHAI Gaming games.

This design encourages players to explore a wider range of games, experience different mechanics and creative themes and gradually become more deeply integrated into the FA CHAI Gaming ecosystem. Rather than isolating rewards within individual games, FA CHAI Cards connect progress across games, supporting long-term player journeys and cross-game engagement.

By extending progression beyond a single product, FA CHAI Cards help operators increase portfolio exposure while offering players a more cohesive and rewarding platform experience.

Optional competitive elements, such as rankings or achievement-based leaderboards, can be integrated into the system to motivate highly engaged players further. These features act as enhancers rather than requirements, preserving balance while offering additional incentives.
