Leading live casino provider Vivo Gaming is heralding the success of its newly launched Promotional Tournament Tool, designed to boost retention and deliver an unforgettable player experience like no other.

The ground-breaking tool, unveiled to operators at the start of the year and first launched with LatSoft, offers brands a unique opportunity to develop and host their own in-game tournaments across a multitude of sites at once, dramatically increasing player engagement and retention.

Early statistics from operators utilising the tool have shown that they have seen an impressive 65% increase in daily active players and an 82% increase in the number of daily number of rounds played.

In addition to offering countless winning opportunities, the Promotional Tournament Tool displays boosters and informs participants when they are close to reaching the top spot of in-game leaderboards, keeping them on the edge of their seats at all times. This innovative tool also allows for unlimited players and real-time communication.

The tool is currently integrated with Vivo Gaming’s premium roulette title and is also set to be added to blackjack and baccarat in the coming months.

Neil Howells, CCO at Vivo Gaming said: “We are thrilled with how our Promotional Tournament Tool has performed so far and the feedback from our operator partners has been phenomenal. What’s more, we are absolutely delighted to have diversified our award-winning offering with such an innovative and engaging product as this.”

Damian Ramirez, Director of Marketing at LatSoft, added: “Implementing Vivo Gaming’s Tournament Tool has really helped us increase player retention across our brands, serving as a major step forward for our own ambitions. We urge any operators that are looking to better manage their performance to consider utilising this tool themselves.”

Veikkaus will deploy the latest version of OpenBet’s Neccton AI-enhanced responsible gambling platform across its digital and retail channels, the companies said on 16 June 2026. The rollout comes as Finland’s newly approved Gambling Act increases operator obligations to spot and address risky gambling behaviour early, including active intervention where risk indicators emerge.

OpenBet said the Neccton platform is designed to identify potentially risky gambling behaviour in real time, generate automated alerts, and support tailored player interventions. The system summarises behavioural data, risk markers and historical context in plain language, and provides AI-assisted explanations intended to support compliance teams while maintaining human oversight.

Susanna Saikkonen, Vice President for Sustainability at Veikkaus, said: “Veikkaus’ individual gambling safety net model is based on identifying risky gambling as early as possible and offering players both support and concrete limitations. The Neccton platform provides us with an ISO-certified, extensively security tested and scientifically validated tool that strengthens our ability to identify risk and support our customers in gambling responsibly.”

Dr Michael Auer, Managing Director of Neccton at OpenBet, said: “In today’s regulatory environment, operators must demonstrate how they actively prevent gambling-related harm. The latest version of the Neccton platform enables real-time, data-driven intervention and measurable duty of care. We are proud to expand our partnership with Veikkaus to further strengthen its responsible gambling framework.”

The Neccton deployment extends Veikkaus’ existing relationship with OpenBet. OpenBet has been powering Veikkaus’ next-generation sportsbook platform and providing Managed Trading Services across digital and retail channels since May 2025, according to the companies. Veikkaus is preparing for Finland’s expected market liberalisation in 2027.
