Visitors can see the gamification software in action, as well as a first look at Gamanza’s new
real-time CRM, which has been purpose-built for iGaming.
Sportsbook
ICE also provides the ideal platform for Gamanza to present its new Sportsbook venture with sports betting industry experts, OddsCraft. The company specialises in the development of algorithm based risk and margin management models. Visitors can also try out a number of innovative new bet types and a unique free to play game format designed to boost acquisition and retention during Euro 2020.
Casino Games

Gamanza is backed by prestigious land-based casino Grand Casino Baden, the first legal online casino to go live in Switzerland under the new regulations.
