The SOFTSWISS Sportsbook is upgrading its online betting solution with the launch of an updated Freebet bonus feature – Freebet Booster. The new functionality is part of the Sportsbook’s strategy to gamify the gambling process and player experience. The expanded bonus functionality will help operators offer more attractive terms to players, which will increase their loyalty and engagement.

The new Freebet Booster feature will complement the lineup of existing player rewards. At the moment it includes three types of Freebets (No Risk, AllWin and OnlyWin), Comboboost, and the sport betting platform’s recent novelty – Hunting bonus.

The principle behind Freebet Booster is to multiply the standard Freebet bonuses that can be assigned to players. The Freebet Booster will be given to the user at the same time as a standard freebet. The player will need to activate the Freebet Booster (clicking on it) in order to take advantage of the bonus. The bettor will then be able to get from 1 to 5 additional Freebets identical in value to the ‘boosted’ freebets.

An operator determines the number of freebet bonuses a player receives after activating the Freebet Booster. The SOFTSWISS Sportsbook plans to extend the Booster model to other available bonuses at a later date.

The SOFTSWISS Sportsbook is a reliable sports betting solution which allows for the running of a successful sports betting website. Platform clients have access to data from the leading provider of live odds for eSports, Oddin.gg, and the leading sports odds feed supplier, Betradar. In addition to an extensive set of bonus tools, which now includes three types of bonuses, the Sportsbook offers its clients flexibility in managing sports betting bonuses and promotions, as well as:

22,000+ live events monthly
180+ sports on 1,200+ markets
Advanced player segmentation
eSports and premium сricket odds

“The SOFTSWISS Sportsbook has a number of advantages as a flexible online sports betting solution for both operators and players. We are constantly working to develop our product to reflect the latest requirements of the iGaming industry. Therefore, the launch of the new bonus will be great news for all those who would like to bring gamification elements to their betting sites. Freebet Booster will be appreciated by those players who value interactive and dynamic gameplay. And that is certainly the majority of casino and betting site visitors”, commented Alexander Kamenetskyi, Product Owner at SOFTSWISS Sportsbook.
