CHALKLINE PARTNERS WITH OPTIMOVE TO BETTER CUSTOMER ACQUISITION AND RETENTION THROUGH SPORTS PREDICTION GAMES

Yesterday, Chalkline has announced a partnership with Optimove, the leading CRM Marketing solution for iGaming, to deepen conversion and retention metrics for freeplay sports games.

As the central part of the partnership, Chalkline will be flowing permission-based marketing data into the Optimove system for use in hyper-personalized messaging, enhanced attribution and in-depth customer insights.

With the new partnership, Chalkline’s operator portfolio gains access to enriched customer profiles, multichannel orchestration, accurate marketing attribution, and personalization at scale. Chalkline operators can now engage individual players in real-time with hyper-personalized messages and offers across any channel, boosting retention and player lifetime value.

Players, both new and returning, all have favorite sports, teams and players. As sports betting and iGaming grows throughout North America, operators are using Optimove to employ a customer-led approach to marketing that starts with player preferences.

Chalkline’s unique technology delivers sports prediction games on demand–for a player’s favorite team or sport, and builds a permission-based engagement with players. The data gathered from freeplay games will immediately inform better marketing decisions, powered by Optimove.

Dan De Souza, Director of Partnerships at Optimove:

“As operators and US players continue to face economic uncertainty, customer-led marketing remains the best way to meet that challenge. Placing the player at the heart of every marketing action builds long-term relationships with players and gains their loyalty for life.

As we continue to expand in North America, we are proud to partner with Chalkline and offer our tried and tested multichannel CRM Marketing suite to their operator portfolio.”

Daniel Kustelski, Chalkline CEO & Co-founder, said:

“We’re thrilled to enter this partnership with Optimove. This will immediately make our massive data set of first party data more immediately actionable for operators.

U.S. sports fans, especially casual bettors, are embracing sports prediction games in rapidly growing numbers, and operators will improve acquisition and retention rates with this seamless integration.”

iGaming Ontario has welcomed the decision of the Ontario Superior Court, which found that iGaming Ontario’s model is consistent with the Criminal Code and that iGaming Ontario is conducting and managing igaming in the province.

“We have always been confident in our model and are pleased that the court has ruled in our favour, and that Ontarians can continue to play with confidence in our regulated igaming market,” said Martha Otton, Executive Director of iGaming Ontario.

“Ontario’s model meets the requirements and contributes to the public good by protecting players, their data and their funds, while helping to fund priority public services in Ontario, and bringing well-paid, high-tech jobs and economic development to Ontario,” Otton added.

In dismissing the application brought forward by the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK), the Superior Court found that iGaming Ontario is the “operating mind” behind Ontario’s competitive igaming market in accordance with the conduct and manage requirements of the Criminal Code.

iGaming Ontario will continue to conduct and manage igaming as it has since the launch of the regulated market on April 4, 2022.
