Future Anthem, the AI and data science powerhouse, announced a market-first jackpot extension to its real-time personalisation product Amplifier AI that generates personalised audiences for jackpot games, triggered in real-time.

Launched in collaboration with Blueprint Gaming’s Jackpot King games, Amplifier AI’s Audience Identifier empowers operators to seize unprecedented opportunities to engage with players through personalised real-time jackpot marketing messaging.

How Audience Identifier works

Audience Identifier constantly monitors pot sizes, identifying points of player interest. It then generates audiences of relevant players, using recommendation algorithms, and triggers 3rd party messaging or CRM systems, to send player communications in real-time, both on and offsite.

The product, which can be set up and deployed in under four weeks, bolsters engagement across Blueprint Gaming’s market-leading portfolio of Jackpot King titles, with player messaging personalised by game. The legendary jackpot network boasts recent hits like Bankin’ More Bacon Jackpot King and Cash Strike Jackpot King, as well as long-time classics such as Fishin’ Frenzy Jackpot King and The Goonies Jackpot King.

This enhancement marks the first extension of Amplifier AI’s Audience Identifier product to casino, after beginning in sports where operators such as William Hill use it to generate audiences in real-time based on betting behaviours and micro-events.

Chris Conroy, Chief Data Officer at Future Anthem, said: “This is a perfect example of Anthem’s commitment to innovation and excellence in AI-driven marketing solutions that improve player experiences, building on the strong foundations of successfully working with Blueprint for over three years.”

Thomas O’Halleran, Director of Operations at Blueprint Gaming, added: “Blueprint Gaming is driven to provide great player experiences. Our integration with this new audience innovation product provides an industry-leading approach to real-time player engagement. It will also leverage Blueprint’s Jackpot King portfolio and provide a personalised player utility to enhance the entertainment delivered by the gameplay.”

Built to personalise the player experience, Amplifier AI humanises anonymised transactional data with machine learning to enable real-time personalisation.

F*Bastards says its casino content is now available through more than 400 operators worldwide, marking a distribution milestone for the iGaming supplier as it continues to expand its portfolio and partner network.

In a company statement outlining its background, Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas said the team’s earlier attempt to build a game studio fell short due to positioning rather than production capability. “Looking back, we realised we weren’t missing talent. We were missing identity. We could build games, but we hadn’t built something people could remember. That lesson became the starting point for everything F*Bastards would later become.” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.

The company said it intentionally built its brand around differentiation, including the decision to use the name F*Bastards despite the expectation it would split opinion among potential partners. The founders described early progress as incremental, driven by game releases, industry events, operator feedback and relationship-building, rather than a single breakout moment.

F*Bastards also pointed to a fundraising milestone in 2026, saying it secured its first seven-figure investment. The company positioned the round as validation of execution rather than an early-stage concept.

“From day one, the goal wasn’t to become the biggest supplier. It was to build something people would remember. We’ve come a long way, but in many ways, it still feels like we’re only getting started” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
