Over 80% of those who played on Day 1 enter exciting new game type multiple times

Dan Bilzerian’s Battle Royale, GGPoker’s new poker game combining multi-table Sit & Go mechanics with the wildly popular multiplayer battle arena format, has proven to be the online poker room’s most popular new game launch to date.

Other headline statistics from Battle Royale’s first two weeks include:

Total number of games run – 2,821

Average Duration – 53 minutes 25 seconds

Average 1st Prize – 25.5 times the buy-in (15.6 bounty / 9.9 tournament prize)

Top 1st Prize – $317.33 by Excalibur11 in a $10 buy-in on June 12

Percentage of Day 1 players that have played multiple times:

80% played 2 or more
51% played 5 or more
28% have played 10 or more

Battle Royale is a revolutionary new Sit & Go format inspired by battle arena video games, with each No Limit Hold’em Progressive Bounty game beginning once 100 participants have registered. The game is made up of three levels:

Level 1: Rush Zone
- Gameplay Format: this is a non-stop action Rush Tournament level, during which players instantly move to a new table and are dealt hole cards whenever their involvement in the previous hand finishes
- Length: level 1 ends once the number of players is reduced to 50 or at the 15-minute mark if more than 50 participants remain; in this circumstance the top 50 players by chip count advance

Level 2: Shootout Zone
- Gameplay Format: this is a high-intensity shootout level, with the remaining 50 players seated at ten five-handed tables, each playing down to a single surviving participant
- Length: level 2 ends once there is a single surviving player seated at all ten tables; if more than one participant survives at any table after 15 minutes of play, the gameplay changes to Flipout, with the remaining players automatically all-in until all table winners are determined

Level 3: Final Table
- Gameplay Format: standard final table, with each of the 10 remaining players guaranteed a prize and the outright battle royale victor taking home the winner’s share of the prize pool
- Length: as long as it takes!

“The action’s been thrilling and intense in equal measures since Dan Bilzerian’s Battle Royale launched,” said Paul Burke, Head of PR at GGPoker. “The percentage of players coming back to take their shot in multiple games has remained at a consistently high level since Day 1, and the feedback we’re getting is overwhelmingly positive.”

New GGPoker players are eligible to claim the poker room’s Welcome Bonus, earn even more rewards with the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion and automatically join GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program, with regular cash prizes on offer.

Vegangster Powers Reels Points, the New Coin-Based Loyalty System on Reels.io

Reels.io has added Reels Points, a new loyalty layer powered by Vegangster. Players earn coins by playing casino games or placing bets. Coins can be tracked in the player profile and redeemed in the Vegangster-powered Lootbox Shop.

Two bigger steps are next. The first is on-platform: coins will soon be spendable across a selection of games as in-play credit, opening up a second use case beyond the Lootbox Shop. The second is on-chain. Reels.io is heading toward a $REELS Token Generation Event, at which point accumulated Reels Points will convert into Reels Tokens, a publicly traded cryptocurrency.

That turns the loyalty layer into a stake in the brand itself, and gives players a real choice along the way: spend coins now on lootboxes and in-game perks, or stack them for the token conversion later.

The system is 100% Vegangster-developed and currently available only on Reels.io. It will roll out to select partners first, then be offered to all Vegangster clients, with the crypto layer as an optional component depending on each operator’s market.

Michael Oziransky, Chief Product Officer at Vegangster, commented: “Reels.io is the kind of brand that pushes a system to its limits, which is exactly why we wanted them as the first deployment. They are running the points layer and the Lootbox Shop now, with in-game spending and a token conversion already mapped out. What works for them sets the bar for the version we roll out across the rest of our network.”

The Reels.io launch is the first deployment of what Vegangster sees as a long-term loyalty product. With the points layer live, the Lootbox Shop active, and a clear path toward in-game spending and token conversion, the system is built to grow with the brands running it.

About Reels.io

Reels.io is an online casino and sportsbook offering a wide library of slots, table games, live dealer content, and sports and esports markets, along with regular rewards and promotions for active players.

N1 SEO Traffic Cup — the first tournament in the N1 Traffic Cups series is coming to an end, with April 30 as the final day of the promo. Over the 2 months, around 300 teams joined the promo, driving SEO traffic to N1 Partners’ casino and betting brands.

Participants competed not only on volume, but also on efficiency, strategic thinking, and scaling. The more brands a partner drove traffic to, the higher their coefficient for score calculation was. The final results depend entirely on each team’s own performance — that makes the tournament fair and engaging.

The winners will be announced by May 10. In this article, you’ll find out which brands delivered the strongest results in the N1 SEO Traffic Cup, along with key trends in working with this traffic source.

N1 SEO Traffic Cup: Wrap-Up

The N1 Partners expert team answered the hottest questions about the tournament wrap-up — insights that can be valuable for partners who keep running SEO traffic to N1 brands.

1. Which brands showed the best performance during the tournament?

Several brands clearly stood out:

HollyWin
Slot Mafia
Lucky Hunter
RollXO
Slot Lounge

2. What do the tournament results say about the current state of SEO traffic in iGaming?

The key takeaway: SEO remains one of the core channels in iGaming. However, it’s evolving and adapting in response to Google updates. This is no longer about writing articles and getting traffic — it’s about systematic unit economics management.

An interesting point — the tournament mechanics focused not on volume, but on efficiency (FTD + coefficients). This clearly shows that iGaming SEO is shifting from mass traffic to controlled performance.

It’s also worth noting that the rule “There are no fixed winners — KPI execution matters more than leaderboard position” gave every participant a real shot at top prizes, while competitors’ results served as additional motivation for growth.

3. What key trends did you observe among top participants?

Several major trends stood out:

Multi-brand strategy = a must-have
Top performers don’t rely on a single offer — they build strategies around a portfolio of brands. This proves that SEO is moving closer to media buying.
Aggregators, comparison pages, and multi-intent pages are effective
Among the top-performing approaches: offerwall pages, cross-brand strategies, and parasite SEO.

Stay tuned for updates on the N1 SEO Traffic Cup from N1 Partners to find out who landed in the prize tiers and what rewards the top teams received — final results will be announced separately by May 10.

And this isn’t the end — a new tournament from the N1 Traffic Cups series will start very soon. Follow the announcements not to miss your chance and jump back into the competition, sharpen your skills, as well as compete for even bigger prizes.
