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.”
