  • Optimove Combines Realtime Segmentation with Predictive and Historical Data for Hyper-Personalized CRM
  • New Capabilities Allow for Enhanced Customer Insight Discovery and Message Relevancy as Brands Scale CRM Marketing Operations

Optimove, the leader in CRM Marketing, today announced the launch of its new realtime segmentation capabilities, which combined with the existing next-gen AI-driven CRM journey orchestration technology, provides brands with unmatched customer analysis, segmentation, and communication power.

The new capabilities are a direct result of Optimove’s acquisition and integration of Axonite’s realtime event streaming platform. Optimove’s realtime segmentation is powered by customer attributes created through a no-code user interface, built to answer the needs of today’s agile business users. Unlike other solutions on the market that allow for the creation of customer attributes solely based on either realtime or batch data, Optimove allows brands to combine the sophisticated modeling and rich context that stems from batch processing of historical data, with the speed and relevancy of realtime data to create powerful customer segments. This, in addition to realtime or batch only scenarios.

With Optimove, brands can now scale their CRM Marketing, leveraging historical and predictive data to answer the question of “who is their customer,” while using realtime data to answer, “what are they doing right now.” As such, Optimove becomes the first solution to truly allow organizations to understand their customers behavior in order to provide superior personalized customer experiences across channels, at unmatched scale.

“Organizations looking to drive growth through their existing customers and effectively communicate with hundreds of segments need to be able to take into account their customers’ past, present, and future, so their communications are always relevant,” said Shai Frank, VP of Product at Optimove. “By blending realtime, historical, and predictive segmentation, we provide CRM marketers with the most robust set of targeting capabilities in the market, further helping brands significantly increase their customers’ value.”

This combination of capabilities unlocks powerful use cases such as:

· Aligning CRM and Compliance efforts – Gaming operators can create segments with predictive responsible gaming attributes such as “predicted player risk level,” and a “Monthly Loss Limit” attribute that combines each day’s closing balance with the realtime results of players’ activity. Optimove can then immediately migrate players who approach their self-set limits and are at risk of developing unhealthy behaviors from promotional campaigns, towards messages that focus on fomenting healthy behaviors.

· Eliminating the risk of broken CRM journeys – Ecommerce brands can combine customer lifecycle attributes such as “churned,” and predicted ones such as the “probability to reactivate”, with a “Days Since Last Order” attribute that updates with each new purchase. Optimove can then automatically remove customers who purchased today from a daily campaign targeting churned customers with a high predicted probability to reactivate.

· Orchestrating the optimal customer treatment – Retail brands can bring together customer attributes such as “favorite category”, with predicted attributes such as “risk of churn”, and a “total order amount” attribute that consolidates the last known balance from batch processes with the realtime purchase. Optimove can then autonomously determine the next-best-offer for each customer from a pool of available options for risk of churn customers, based on the combination of the above attributes.

“In today’s world, effectively combining batch and realtime data is key to scale CRM Marketing and boost customer lifetime value,” said Pini Yakuel, CEO and Founder of Optimove. “Optimove’s unwavering commitment to providing a next-gen technology that allows brands to intelligently scale their CRM Marketing is what led us to these new capabilities. Segmentation based on the combination of historical, realtime, and predictive data is helping our customers break through the limits posed by single-faceted solutions, while firmly placing organizations on a path to reap the benefits of having the hundreds of segments that compose their AI-mapped CRM journeys.”

Using Optimove, organizations can power their realtime segmentation by leveraging data streamed via Segment.com, Kafka Streams, customer support systems such as Zendesk, eCommerce platforms such as Shopify, iGaming platforms such as SBTech, server-side events, and API, in addition to Optimove’s web and mobile SDKs.

Ontario Certificate is hugely promising as Soft2Bet continues its regulatory expansion

Soft2Bet, a leading provider of online betting and gaming solutions to regulated operators worldwide, is delighted to announce that it has been granted a Certificate of Registration in Ontario, Canada’s largest province, moving it one step closer to being able to launch its Tooniebet.com iGaming brand.

Obtaining its Certificate of Registration (Nbr: OPIG1280338) from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) will enable Soft2Bet to continue its expansion into the world’s largest regulated jurisdictions.

Ontario has been a major success story for regulated online sports betting and casino in North America in the past two years. The province launched its regulations in April 2022 and latest figures for the fourth quarter of 2023 showed that operators recorded a 21% rise in wagers to CA$17.2bn and a 22% increase in gross gaming revenues to CA$658m, the highest ever revenue total in Ontario’s wagering history. Online casino was the main driver of this growth and generated CA$13.7bn of the total stakes and CA$471m in GGR.

Elisabeth Isaksson, Head of Regulatory Compliance at Soft2Bet, commented: “Being registered with the AGCO in Ontario is testament to the work our compliance and regulatory teams are doing daily to enable our continued expansion in the world’s largest regulated markets. We’re immensely excited about taking our first steps in North America and look forward to licensing and launching in more jurisdictions in the region.”

Chief Business Development Officer Martin Collins added: “This Ontario certification is another significant and important step in our corporate expansion plans. It fits perfectly with our stated aim of growing our regulatory footprint and we very much look forward to continuing forward on this path.”

Soft2Bet is also actively working to obtain a licence in New Jersey and continue its expansion in the Americas. This activity comes after the group obtained B2C licences in Italy, Greece and Romania in 2023.

Technology has become a great source of entertainment to many. Video games particularly have garnered interest from all demographics. In Canada, the gaming industry has experienced significant growth, fuelled by increased accessibility to gaming platforms and the growth of online gaming communities.

Statistics indicate that a large percentage of Canadians are engaged in gaming activities, whether it be playing console or PC games, mobile games, or online multiplayer games. The popularity of video games extends beyond leisure pastimes, with many Canadians participating in gaming competitions, attending gaming conventions, and consuming gaming-related content on platforms like Twitch and YouTube.

The number of video game users in Canada reflects how broad the sector is, from mobile games to digital video games, download games and live streaming. In 2024, the gaming sector will see millions of users in each of these categories. Statista projects 13.38 million users for digital video games and 7.35 million users for online games respectively. It estimates that revenue in the Canadian video game market is expected to reach US$3,925.00m in 2024, so it is no surprise to observe the increasing popularity of the sector.

Well-known online casino provider BetVictor has compiled some key points from major surveys detailing the video game market to give further insight into its makeup and potential. The gaming culture in Canada is growing, which means the type of games and genres will grow along with the sector. Statista recently conducted a survey of 1 576 respondents aged 18 – 64 who are avid video game players, with telling results. ​​In December 2023, a survey about preferred video game genres in Canada revealed the top four genres as being Action, Action – adventure, Adventure and casual games accounting for 31% of respondents’ preferences.

David Winter, Marketing Manager at BetVictor notes that “We’ve seen a steady increase in the popularity of action-themed and adventure-themed slots and many providers are exploring how to expand further into this market.”

The popularity of Action games such as platform and fighting games can be attributed to various factors, such as: social interaction, accessibility and inclusivity, social appeal, and cultural influence. With such a diverse audience, all these factors are crucial to understand the appeal of Action games.

In the digital age, gaming has transcended mere entertainment to become a cornerstone of culture, and nowhere is this more evident than in Canada. From coast to coast, a diverse community of gamers is thriving, reflecting the country’s inclusive spirit and passion for technology. Whether it’s the casual gamer enjoying a quick session on their smartphone or the dedicated enthusiast meticulously building a custom gaming PC, Canada offers a welcome haven for all kinds of gamers.

Diving deeper into the Statista results, Strategy games accounted for 29%. This shows us that players have a strong interest in tactical and decision-making games. While role-playing (RPG) and sports games garnered 22% each, simulation and shooters trailed slightly behind at 21% and 20% respectively.

MMO (massively multiplayer online games), as well as MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role-playing games) and MOBA (multi online battle arenas) came in at 13% and 8% respectively, representing a significant but niche following. With such a diverse array of preferences, the survey underscores the multifaceted nature of interests among Canadian gamers. It highlights the need for game developers to cater for a wide range of genres and gameplaying styles in the Canadian market.
