The virtual draw-based betting games have been steadily thriving for years, and recently there has been a significant resurgence of bingo in online markets.

The exciting bingo-style games with colorful, eye-catching graphics also feature a host of bonuses and extra chances to win, thus the player’s favorite.

NSoft has its share of enchanting the players worldwide with our virtual draw-based betting games. With simple yet immersive gameplay challenges, our top 3 virtual draw-based betting games include Lucky Six, Roulette, and Spin and Win.

Bingo Type Games offer a Powerful Revenue-Generating Model

Fast-paced entertainment in virtual form brings bingo and lottery games to players every few minutes. The ability to enjoy the draws more than 280 times each day, combined with an excellent user interface, has proved to be a massive success with players and a revenue-generating model for our customers.

NSoft brings an omnichannel experience as our products are available on various channels, devices, and operating systems. Customers choose the delivery channel depending on their needs – land-based or online.

The action of virtual number games is based on the results produced by a random number generator (RNG). Approved testing laboratory for online gaming systems, iTech has confirmed that our games are statistically random and unpredictable. Thus the results cannot be influenced or adjusted.

Lucky Six – millions of tickets daily across 40+ countries

Our draw-based, bingo-style game Lucky Six recently celebrated its 12th birthday. It was our firstborn game and a solid foundation for soon becoming a successful business in the gaming industry on a global level. Everybody loves Lucky Six – millions of tickets are played daily across 42+ countries with our clients.

Since the V1, the game was simple, neat, running on any device, with good (configurable) RTP. The RNG-driven entertainment soon became a must-have for any betting shop. And yes, it was first made for bet shops.

Through NSoft’s years of experience in the iGaming market, with our partners, and 150 betting and gaming operators from 42 countries, we have gathered invaluable information from the players. Lucky Six’s secret – the players, helped us polish it!

Now we know what it takes to boost player engagement and retention levels. The game was renewed with visual enhancement, better performances, new bonus games, simpler UX, richer statistics, sound effects, etc.

How to play Lucky Six?

A total of 48 numbers are divided into eight groups. Every group has its color so that the player will find red, green, blue, purple, brown, yellow, orange, and black colored balls with numbers. In the hope of choosing the Lucky Six winning numbers, the player chooses six to ten numbers, and 35 out of 48 numbers will be drawn from the drum. To win the draw, the player has to guess six numbers correctly.

The global success of Lucky Six

Globally, the game is offered across 9,000+ bet shops and 4,800 terminals (28% increase YoY). The number of punters playing Lucky Six online reached impressive figures and held to it during 2020 and 2021.

As a result, the reporting period recorded 14% more tickets and almost 20% turnover (total turnover 2021 vs. 2020 in %).

To boost the game for the online channel, the NSoft team has created a Lightning Lucky Six – an even faster version of the original game. Another novelty in our growing Casino portfolio is a spin version of Lucky Six. The game is called Slingshot 6 and proudly represents the latest upgrade of our classic.

Slingshot 6 is a casino game for the online channel. It is a spin game based on bingo which brings diversity into inevitable video slots category and ultra-popular crash categories.

Roulette – the simplicity of this game attracts millions of players

The game of Roulette is one of those games that has barely changed over the centuries. It is often mentioned in mainstream media and movies, with references connecting it to luxurious casino resorts and lavish parties.

James Bond, 007, was a big roulette player in Ian Fleming’s original books, and his favourite number was 17.

If you visit any brick-and-mortar casino, you can see the crowd of people around the roulette table cheering every spin of the wheel. The game provides a unique excitement that is hard to surpass in other fast games.

Online Roulette has quickly gained popularity and is preferred over slots, blackjack, poker, and other casino games. Online casinos don’t have the same overhead expenditure as land-based casinos so they can offer better and higher payouts to players. Also, online casinos offer a variety of attractive bonuses and incentives to attract new players and increase overall retention.

Roulette is a fast-paced game of chance; players don’t need skills or experience to win this game.

European Roulette features a black and red colored wheel with numbers ranging from 0-36. It has one zero-number pocket, its most distinctive feature.

There are differences between European and American Roulette; thus, they differ in one way. It has an extra slot: Double Zero. Instead of 37, it has 38 slots — numbers 1 to 36, 0, and 00. The presence of an additional slot means American roulette has a higher house edge than European roulette.

Generally, we recommend our clients to use American Roulette in their retail business. Web and terminal businesses can opt for the one that suits their company or players more. Having both versions is also an option.

What are the advantages of NSoft Roulette?

NSoft’s Roulette is a fast-paced modular and engaging game that brings an entirely new experience to players. It is an appealing product, available and running smoothly on all channels. The game features a smooth and intuitive UX/UIX, easy to use for operators in bet shops and players on all channels.

It is a must-have product for our clients with the biggest RTP that simultaneously covers both virtual games and casino categories.

The game is round-based, meaning that all players play together in a single round, and features colourful visuals and eye-catching graphics. A customizable appearance enables a better product experience and generates revenue.

We are constantly working on improving Roulette on all channels by keeping in mind the feedback of our players and clients. Therefore our in-house Casino team once more showed enviable creativity by developing the Lightning Roulette game, as the name suggests, as fast as lightning and round-based.

Spin and Win – a high-speed and highly customizable modern take on Roulette

Anybody who has played our Roulette will enjoy it, even more, the gameplay and bonus options that NSoft’s Spin and Win offers.

Spin and Win was made exclusively for land-based betting businesses, and indeed, it is one of the best spin games in retail. The use of the newest technologies has enabled our Casino team with vast possibilities for development on various devices, even those with lower performance levels. The game is enriched with colorful visuals and eye-catching graphics. A completely customizable appearance according to market specifics and clients’ wishes enables a better product experience and creates revenue increases.

The visualization shows the paytable, the wheel, and the statistic in the stunning color palette. Visual presentation of the game plays a significant role when we talk about engagement. The wheel is always centered and visible whether the round has begun and marked with numbers ranging from 0 to 36. If the countdown for the next round is in progress, available markets on the pay table are highlighted from top to bottom, one by one, approximately every 3 seconds.

The game offers four markets: Straight up, Dozens (1, 2, 3), Odd/Even, and Red/Black.

The statistic displays the most and least drawn five numbers together with the ten latest results.

Groove, the award-winning iGaming platform and aggregator, has emerged from ICE Barcelona 2026 as the definitive growth partner for ambitious operators in 2026.

The event marked a milestone for the brand, generating high-value partnerships and demonstrating strong market demand for an integrated, scalable, and commercially strategic platform.

Over the three-day summit, Groove positioned itself at the heart of strategic conversations with operators and providers seeking solutions for sustainable growth, market diversification, and deeper player engagement. With an unprecedented volume of meetings, a clear trend emerged: operators are moving beyond basic content access, seeking a collaborative, technology-driven partner to navigate global expansion.

“The energy and focus at ICE 2026 validated our core why: aggregation has evolved into a strategic growth discipline,” said Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and COO of Groove.

“Operators aren’t coming to us just for games—they are looking for a roadmap. They want a partner who can provide content, technology frameworks, and commercial tools, like Instant Tournaments, as a seamless growth engine. In a fragmented market, Groove’s integrated approach is not just an advantage—it’s a necessity for serious operators in 2026.”

Groove’s Strategic Edge: Global Content and Localized Growth

Groove’s unique ability to act as a single conduit for global content and localized strategy was a central theme at ICE. The platform’s agility enables operators to thrive in established regulated markets while tapping into high-potential verticals such as Sweepstakes and Crypto gaming. This differentiation empowers operators to diversify portfolios, increase revenue, and streamline operational efficiency.

“We engaged with operators who have concrete 2026 plans, from new entries in Latin America to strategic European expansions,” explained Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove.
“My role is to translate platform capabilities into commercial velocity. At ICE, we moved decisively from concept to pipeline execution. The market recognizes Groove as a partner that delivers with precision.”

Partnerships and Collaboration: Driving Innovation

Groove strengthened its global network by connecting with game studios and exploring exclusive content and technical collaborations designed to deliver innovative gaming experiences faster.

“ICE is ultimately about partnership in its truest sense,” said Rachel Tourgeman, Head of Partnerships at Groove.

“The quality of dialogue with existing and potential partners was exceptional, covering hyper-localized game curation, tournament tools, and strategies for player retention. Groove’s model of acting as an extension of our partners’ teams—providing tools and strategic insight—is exactly what the market needs now.”

Looking Ahead: Defining Growth for 2026

Groove exits ICE Barcelona 2026 not merely as a platform provider, but as the go-to growth partner for the iGaming industry. With a fortified pipeline, strategic market mandate, and a focus on turning aggregation into accelerated growth, Groove is set to define the iGaming landscape in 2026, helping operators expand globally and engage players meaningfully.

Inside NFL Stadiums: How Fans Are Driving Record Sports Betting Engagement During Live Games

During the latest NFL season, one of the most valuable arenas for sports betting engagement wasn’t online or at home—it was inside the stadium itself. Using insights from GeoComply Edge Stadium Data, analysts examined how fans interacted with betting apps while attending live NFL games, revealing a powerful convergence of fandom, technology, and real-time wagering.

From the season opener at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia to the final Wildcard Weekend matchup at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on January 12, GeoComply analyzed in-stadium activity across every NFL venue located in US states with legal sports betting. The findings provide a clear, data-driven picture of how live attendance influences digital betting behavior.

The result is a uniquely detailed view into in-stadium engagement, customer acquisition, and long-term bettor value, offering operators critical insight into where and when fans are most likely to engage.

GeoComply Edge Stadium Data: Visibility Others Don’t Have

GeoComply Edge is purpose-built to measure fan acquisition and betting engagement within precise stadium-level geofences. This advanced location intelligence allows sportsbooks and operators to identify which teams, games, and venues generate the strongest engagement, turning live events into actionable growth opportunities.

Rather than tracking generic app usage, GeoComply Edge delivers insights into:

Which NFL games drive the highest in-stadium betting activity
How frequently fans check betting apps during live action
Where new sportsbook accounts are created inside stadiums
How engagement varies by venue, team performance, and market maturity

This season-long data view highlights how in-person fandom directly translates into digital wagering behavior, offering a deeper understanding of the customer journey.

Growth Leaders: Stadiums Where Betting Engagement Is Accelerating

Five NFL stadiums stood out for year-over-year growth in geolocation checks and active betting accounts—two strong indicators of in-stadium betting engagement.

In many cases, increased engagement closely followed on-field success. Teams such as the Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, and Carolina Panthers returned to playoff contention after turnaround seasons, reigniting fan excitement and digital interaction.

The Las Vegas Raiders emerged as a notable outlier. Allegiant Stadium continues to function as a destination venue, attracting traveling fans from across the country and creating a uniquely strong in-stadium betting environment, independent of team performance.

Engagement Rate Leaders: Quality Over Volume

While total geolocation volume remains important, the most telling metric this season was engagement rate—the percentage of fans inside the stadium actively using betting apps during games.

Top-performing venues recorded 10% to 13% engagement, meaning nearly one in every eight fans accessed a sports betting app at least once while attending a live NFL game. This highlights the growing normalization of in-game wagering as part of the live sports experience.

New User Acquisition: Stadiums as Sportsbook Growth Engines

One of the most compelling insights from GeoComply Edge data is the consistent creation of brand-new betting customers inside NFL stadiums.

Leading venues generated new sportsbook sign-ups at rates between 0.2% and 0.7% of total attendance per game. For a typical 65,000-seat stadium, that translates to 130 to 450 new accounts per game.

GEHA Field, home of the Kansas City Chiefs, led all venues in new customer creation, benefiting from Missouri’s launch of mobile sports betting on December 1, 2025, during the Chiefs’ final three home games.

Reducing Friction with Compliant Onboarding

GeoComply supports operators at every stage of the customer journey. Through IDComply®, the company enables a fully compliant KYC process that delivers 95%+ onboarding success rates, while GeoComply Edge pinpoints where and when these high-value acquisition moments occur.

This dual approach allows sportsbooks to engage fans in a way that is timely, targeted, and non-intrusive, enhancing both compliance and customer experience.

Doing More With “Where” at Live Sporting Events

NFL stadiums have evolved into digital engagement hubs, where live entertainment, mobile technology, and sports betting intersect in real time.

GeoComply Edge Stadium Data brings clarity to this intersection by providing:

Actionable insights into in-stadium betting behavior
Clear visibility into acquisition and engagement trends
A season-long perspective beyond single-game analysis

As the NFL continues to grow and fan experiences become increasingly digital, one conclusion is unmistakable: the future of sports betting is already unfolding inside the stadium.

Leading Brazilian iGaming brand Esportes da Sorte has announced a high-profile sponsorship agreement for the FIFA World Cup 2026 broadcasts on SBT and N Sports, reinforcing its presence during one of the most influential sporting events in the world.

The partnership includes extensive brand activations throughout the entire tournament, spanning television, streaming, and digital media.

The sponsorship package delivers wide national exposure through SBT’s free-to-air broadcasts, simulcast coverage, the +SBT streaming platform, and the N Sports pay-TV channel. In addition to traditional broadcast placements, Esportes da Sorte will activate across the broadcasters’ digital ecosystems, including official websites, YouTube channels, and other owned digital platforms.

According to Marcela Campos, Vice President of the Esportes Gaming Brasil Group, which owns the Esportes da Sorte brand, the initiative strategically aligns the company with one of the largest moments of audience engagement in global sport. The FIFA World Cup represents a unique opportunity to amplify brand recall, increase engagement frequency, and strengthen emotional connections with football fans.

“The World Cup is a global event that concentrates attention, conversation, and excitement on an unparalleled scale. In Brazil, it represents one of the most powerful moments of sports audience mobilisation. Maintaining a consistent and high-frequency presence on SBT’s broadcasts allows us to expand our brand positioning and deepen Esportes da Sorte’s connection with the football fan experience,” Campos explained.

On television, Esportes da Sorte will feature prominently through promotional spots, opening and closing idents, commercial break placements, and video inserts. The agreement also includes sponsorship of a dedicated FIFA World Cup 2026 programme, airing throughout the competition, alongside integrated editorial content within the broadcasters’ schedules.

Digitally, the brand will be embedded within the official World Cup broadcasts on SBT and N Sports, while also appearing in additional content initiatives produced by both channels. This multi-platform strategy ensures comprehensive coverage of the tournament, maximising visibility and engagement across broadcast and online audiences.

With this partnership, Esportes da Sorte further cements its position as a major player in Brazil’s regulated iGaming market, leveraging the cultural power of football and the global reach of the FIFA World Cup to strengthen brand equity and long-term consumer affinity.
