Vegangster Integrates JackpotX Across 5 Brands, Reaches ~25% Player Opt-In.
Vegangster has expanded its partnership with Shared Luck by integrating JackpotX, a player-funded jackpot system now live across five client brands. Early results show an average opt-in rate of around 25%, with players actively choosing to join the jackpot via a simple opt-in toggle.
Across these deployments, JackpotX is configured as a player-funded system, where a portion of player activity contributes to a shared prize pool. This creates a continuously growing jackpot that runs alongside standard gameplay, adding a persistent betting incentive without interrupting the core gaming experience.
Unlike traditional fixed or operator-funded jackpots, this model scales with player activity. As participation increases, the prize pool grows, reinforcing visibility and engagement over time.
For operators, the integration introduces a retention and monetisation layer that is directly tied to player volume. Because the jackpot is funded through gameplay, it reduces reliance on upfront promotional spend while still creating a strong engagement loop.
Michael Oziransky, Chief Product Officer at Vegangster, commented:
“What stands out with JackpotX is flexibility. Operators can run multi-brand jackpots and tailor how they work, with real-time performance visibility. This made it easy for us to use a player-funded approach and boost engagement without additional operator spend.”
The integration requires minimal operational overhead and can be deployed across brands without complex configuration, allowing operators to activate jackpot-driven engagement quickly.
With JackpotX now live and scaling across brands, Vegangster and Shared Luck plan to expand the partnership further, focusing on deeper gamification mechanics and wider rollout across the Vegangster client network.
About SharedLuck
Sharedluck builds engagement infrastructure for online casinos. JackpotX, its flagship product, provides flexible jackpot creation, multi-brand management, real-time analytics, and tools built to increase player retention and overall casino revenue.
