Hands-on tips on elevating your online casino business through custom iGaming content
In today’s world, where everything is personalized, the iGaming industry is no different. There are so many games out there, and every casino wants to attract and keep players for as long as possible.
A noticeable shift has occurred since 2020 when casinos could effortlessly attract new players due to surging demand. In 2023, operators must adopt strategic approaches to both acquire and retain customers.
Game customization is becoming a big deal in the iGaming industry that gives players unique experiences and helps casinos compete. Let’s look at why tailored games are vital for keeping players and how online casinos can do it best within the success story of Blaze Casino and BGaming.
To customize or not? That’s the iGaming dilemma
At BGaming, we understand the growing demand for personalized iGaming content in a world where people want unique experiences instead of scrolling endless options. Creating special games for operators or adapting games to match a casino’s style boosts player engagement and loyalty.
Personalized content also builds trust and keeps players coming back. So, having custom games exclusively for your platform is a smart way to give players what they want and promote your online casino brand.
However, making customized games can be expensive and time-consuming, which can distract from regular releases. That’s why most exclusive games on the market today are relatively simple, with just changing logos and colors.
It’s also important to remember that making a customized game isn’t enough. To get the most out of it, you need a solid game development strategy and effective promotion. The rewards from custom games come when you do them right. Let’s move on to the bright case study of Blaze Casino and BGaming that applied the proper tailored game production tactics and achieved great success.
Effective game customization: it’s more than just changing logos
To create a personalized gaming experience that works for all parties, game providers and operators need to work closely together. We recognized this principle and involved Blaze Casino right from the start of game development, as they knew their audience better than anyone. This way, everything in the game meets the online casino’s brand and goals and matches the casino-registered players’ preferences.
This kind of game customization requires collecting and analyzing a lot of player data. For example, collaborating with Blaze Casino, we study how their users behave, what they like, their ages, where they’re from, and how they play. This helps us make data-driven decisions that result in a game concept that appeal to casino players the most.
But creating custom games is only part of the story. The real magic of customization happens when operators not only create tailored games but also use them strategically in promotion activities. BGaming and Blaze Casino’s success story proves this. After developing 5 custom and branded titles following a comprehensive approach, games showed 30-80% growth for mission-critical KPIs, such as GGR, player retention, bets count, average bet, and others. The top-performer game solely heightened GGR by 4 times, while the fifth custom game without branding words or elements didn’t demonstrate such stellar performance as ones of previous titles.
What made the difference was the operator’s timely promotion. By creating special promotions tied to events or holidays, operators used customization to connect with players on a deeper level. This shows that customization isn’t a waste of money, but a smart way to engage players.
In a nutshell
The process of game customization is a path filled with challenges and possibilities. As the iGaming industry charts this course, it’s evident that personalization and customization aren’t mere add-ons – they’re vital strategies.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:
“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.
“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.
“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”
Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:

ThrillTech secures AGCO supplier licence for Ontario launch
ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.
The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.
Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”
The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.
ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.
