Soft2Bet, a leading casino and sportsbook platform provider, displayed its Motivational Engineering Gaming Application (MEGA) last week at SBC Summit North America 2024, one of the preeminent conferences for the online betting and gaming industry in the U.S. and Canada.

Soft2Bet Chief Business Development Officer (CBDO) Martin Collins gave a keynote presentation to a crowded room on driving increased engagement and ROI across Casino and Sports Betting brands. He described we are currently “in a race-to-the-bottom with unsustainable acquisition, engagement, and retention strategies of high-cost CPAs and bonuses that do not create customer loyalty.” During the presentation, Martin shared insights on how personalized gamified experiences can reduce costs and increase profitability for operators in tightly regulated markets.

“There’s a lot of chatter about the lack of new favorable regulation for the industry in 2024,” said Collins. “So in order to stay afloat in this environment, you need to get sticky to your consumer, and you do this by adding some spice to your platform. MEGA is the spice that will give operators a huge advantage when it comes to engagement, screentime, and overall loyalty.”

In addition to Collins, Soft2Bet executives including CEO and founder Uri Poliavich, CFO Max Portelli, and General Counsel David Yatom Hay, met with regulators, operators, and other industry partners to discuss Soft2Bet’s launch in North America, as well as its MEGA solution, which can be integrated seamlessly into operators’ platforms and customized for local markets. Soft2Bet has submitted for both operating and supplier licenses in New Jersey, with plans to use its innovative technology and MEGA solution to revolutionize the online gambling market in the U.S.

Soft2Bet, which offers an extensive suite of iGaming products is now making off-the-shelf and unique casino gamification mechanics available to any operator, all via a seamless API integration. MEGA combines online casino and sportsbook solutions with casual gaming narratives and has proven to increase Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) by 45% and Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) by 60%. These gamification features can be personalized to the needs of any individual consumer and have demonstrated an increase in screen time by 4X, and increased deposit amounts by 50%.

With a pending launch in Ontario in the coming weeks, and work being done to gain a license in New Jersey, the Soft2Bet team intends to remain focused on the North American Market and to dedicate its resources to complete these launches. The team will be back in the US to meet with partners and showcase MEGA at Global Gaming Expo (G2E) on October 7-10 in Las Vegas, Nevada.‍
