Portuguese start-up FootAR is enhancing the Euro 2024 experience with AR tracking and smart data
With the summer of football heating up, FootAR is showing how live sports can be enhanced with augmented reality. It has created a real-time companion that gamifies the sports experience and emulates player movements with 3D foosball-like figures, adding smart stats and prizes for fans.
FootAR has already made its mark in Portugal, where two notable media organisations have integrated it into their coverage. GMG (Jornal de Notícias) and SportsMultimedia (VSports) use FootAR to bring a 3D experience to Euro 2024 fans.
FootAR is one of 22 companies in the Portuguese games development and creative industries cluster eGamesLab. This ambitious R&D project led out of Madeira aims to attract and develop new talent and technology focused on the growing national video game industry.
FootAR’s platform went live earlier this year. The initial rollout covered Portuguese league games, partnering with some of the biggest Portuguese clubs like SC Braga and CD Nacional before expanding to cover all the matches at Euro 2024. It offers real-time statistics, in-depth analysis, and seamless integration for news outlets covering live games on their websites.
Fans can relive every goal, track every pass, and stay connected to the game with real-time updates and AR-enhanced visuals. The technology allows fans to rewatch the most significant moments in a live game and view them from multiple angles, together with an accompanying audio commentary.
“We understand the insatiable appetite for football data and the desire to go beyond the final score,” says David Olim, Co-Founder of FootAR. “FootAR empowers fans to delve deeper into the action, following their favourite players, teams, and leagues, and is the perfect way for enthusiasts to analyse the beautiful game – but that’s just the start. As a father of two young children, my goal is to shape how younger generations immerse themselves in these communal experiences. Looking to the future, our interests go way beyond sports. We are starting with football, but within five years, we will have personalised experiences for clubs, artists, and brands to build their own interactive events.
Key Features:
Augmented Reality – relive the match’s key moments from multiple angles through 3D AR visuals, and get closer to the action with real-time data overlays to follow the game how you want to.
Custom Data Suite – access in-depth statistics for players and teams such as expected goals, pass accuracy and tackles lost. In-game notifications can be customised, ensuring key moments in the game are never missed..
Audio Commentary – FoorAR can sync with local radio broadcasts, creating a combination of live commentary and live data which really brings events to life.
With FootAR, new avenues for monetizing audience engagement and sponsors are available to media companies and clubs looking for a solution to drive greater fan engagement, as well as opening up new revenue streams through in-game activations.
Fans can transform their football experience today by downloading FootAR for free on Android and iOS and using the Web/Desktop app. Apple VisionPro and Meta Quest versions of the experience are also being developed and will be released in Q3 2024.

Slotegrator enhances retention economy with built-in adjustable engagement toolkit
Slotegrator, a leading software and business solution provider in the iGaming industry, announces updates to its platform that enable operators to create, build, and test retention strategies adapted to different markets.
Operators expanding into new markets now have a tool to rapidly design and configure their player retention strategies. Slotegrator’s Casino Builder module, part of the company’s turnkey platform, offers flexible GEO-adapted retention mechanics integrated directly into the platform ecosystem.
The retention toolkit features a range of options for operators to choose from, including lootboxes, automated tournaments, bonus mechanics, reward systems, a Wheel of Fortune mechanic, and the ability to create proprietary mini-games. Thanks to the platform’s Casino Builder module, all of these retention mechanics can be quickly adjusted to fit any market without the need for a development team.
“Attracting traffic is easy. Retaining it is much harder. The real battle in today’s market is fought over every additional active day in the player lifecycle. Across the industry, we’re seeing a growing trend toward CRM gamification, which consistently delivers a 10–15% increase in NGR through a 15–20% uplift in deposit frequency and improved D30 retention,” says Slotegrator COO Olga Ivanchik.
Operators looking to expand their project into a new market are often frustrated by slow launch cycles, difficult adaptation, and operational complexity. After launch, retention economy becomes paramount if the brand hopes to remain competitive in the long term. Slotegrator’s updated platform accounts for both the initial expansion and the ongoing effort to build a base of players.
Slotegrator’s updated turnkey platform is designed for a fast launch, with new projects opening in as little as 8-13 days. To help platforms perform as quickly as possible, the Casino Builder module offers the ability to instantly customize the frontend with the use of preset templates.
One-size-fits-all mechanics are losing their efficacy as players come to expect more and more personalized experiences. Additionally, players in different markets respond to different retention mechanics. Some markets react better to instant rewards, such as loot boxes, while others prefer gamified progression such as VIP programs. Still others are best engaged by tournaments.
In addition to the individual mechanics, the platform enables operators to adapt their retention logic to their target market. Logic can be adjusted to audience behaviour, bonus strategy, acquisition source, and player lifecycle stage.
The Wheel of Fortune feature has localized retention mechanics that can cater to different GEOs. Rewards, currencies, retention logic, and even the wheel itself can all be adjusted to suit the preferences and behavior of the target audience.
The process of testing exact player preferences in any given market is time consuming and costly. With Casino Builder, however, adjustments can be made on the fly: In addition to independently creating and launching retention mechanics, operators can carry out testing, and adjust their strategic logic accordingly.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Since 2012, Slotegrator has been one of the iGaming industry’s leading software and business solution providers for online casino and sportsbook operators.
The company’s main focus is software development and support for online casino platforms, as well as the integration of game content and payment systems.
The company works with licensed game developers and offers a vast portfolio of casino content: slots, live casino games, poker, virtual sports, table games, lotteries, casual games, and data feeds for betting.
Slotegrator also provides consulting services in gambling license acquisition and business incorporation.
