TRUE, in partnership with the innovative casino game provider TrueLab Game Studios, have introduced NFT gamification mechanics into their game Victoria Wild West by means of TRUE solution for the online gambling industry. Now, the team is ready to reveal the intermediate results since the launch of the project six months ago.

A wild-west-themed slot game Victoria Wild West is the first-to-market production release with the seamless integration of NFT gamification mechanics. This innovative experience is supposed to combine the fast evolving spheres of iGaming and NFT to boost player engagement and retention.

To integrate the NFT drop into the already existing game, TRUE developed a fully-fledged white-label NFT marketplace for the game provider, including all the required functionality for creating the engagement mechanics. Notably, a TRUE Wallet account is automatically created for every new player with one click to store and manage user’s NFTs.

Player metrics results

Initially envisioned as a tool to influence player retention, the Victoria Wild West NFT drop has gone above and beyond, producing far-reaching impacts on user behavior. By comparing metrics between users who activated at least one NFT in the drop and those who did not, the TRUE team discovered the following compelling results:

  1. Number of players. Since the launch, the number of players has surged by an impressive 7 times, reaching a peak of 10 during the promotion. It is worth mentioning, NFT integration into a game, being an innovative engagement tool is an attractive promotional mechanism by itself and can create additional hype for any online casino or game provider.
  2. Total bets volume. The implementation of NFT mechanics has increased the game’s overall bet volume by 3.5 times, and this upward trend continues. The NFT collection has breathed new life into the title as the original game marks its one-year availability in casinos this September. Eventually, the NFT drop not only captured the attention of players but also sparked interest from the operators.
  3. Total bets count. The total bets count has soared by 4 times, and notably, players who have acquired NFTs are more actively engaged in the game than those who did not participate in the drop. On average, players owning at least one NFT place bets 6 times more frequently per session.
  4. Bets volume per user. Remarkably, although players with NFTs still represent a minority, comprising only up to 25% of the game’s user base, they contribute over 50% of the total betting volume. This segment effectively drives the overall performance of the game title.
  5. Players community. One of TrueLab’s notable achievements is fostering a vibrant player community within the game, where participants actively compete for rare NFTs, trade them on the TRUE-powered marketplace, and anticipate new album releases with rewarding incentives.

Currently, the Victoria Wild West NFT collection is integrated into 35 casinos, receiving enthusiastic endorsements from project partners. Operators confirm that NFTs, as engagement tools, boost player retention and frequency, adding extra appeal and encouraging players to select titles with these incentives.

“We are thrilled to be pioneers in bridging the worlds of NFT and iGaming,” remarked a representative from N1 Partners, a network of casinos among the first to implement the NFT Drop. “The results have surpassed our expectations, and we’re delighted to witness its positive impact on our players’ engagement and overall experience.”

Looking ahead, the dedicated teams behind TRUE and TrueLab remain committed to advancing the project further. They are actively working on introducing new albums with unique benefits for players to collect, ensuring a continuously evolving and engaging gaming experience. The success of the NFT drop integration serves as a testament to the teams’ vision and dedication to creating an immersive and rewarding gaming environment.

Meet MegaList: The Rising Force in iGaming Affiliation

Reading Time: 3 minutes

There are affiliate networks, and then there’s MegaList – a performance-first, hype-last kind of operation built for casino and sportsbook brands that prefer results over buzzwords.

In an industry that sometimes feels like it’s powered by vague metrics and recycled content, MegaList steps in as the “Mega Map” – a practical, data-driven network guiding both players and operators to higher ground. Less “look at our reach,” more “here’s your conversion rate.”

So no, this isn’t just another logo-stamped brand promising traffic and delivering bounce rates. This is a carefully engineered affiliate engine built on smart SEO, qualified leads, and just enough caffeine-fueled obsession with results to make even the most skeptical operators pay attention.

The iGaming Affiliate World: Why It (Still) Matters

Let’s be honest – the affiliate space in iGaming has had its fair share of bad actors and empty promises. But when done right, affiliate marketing is still one of the most effective and efficient ways to connect licensed operators with the right players.

Players want fewer popups, more clarity. Operators want actual ROI, not vague impressions.
Enter: the data-driven affiliate network.

It’s simple:

  • Informed players make better choices.
  • Strategic affiliates deliver better traffic.
  • Everyone wins. Except, of course, the shady operators who preferred it the other way.

Meet the MegaList Brands

These aren’t vanity microsites. Each MegaList brand has a specific mission, actual humans behind the content, and a reputation for, well… telling it like it is.

MegaCasinoList


Let’s face it – players don’t need another affiliate promising “top 10 casinos” based on whatever ad paid the most. They need honest, transparent, expert-backed reviews.

That’s where MegaCasinoList comes in – a platform that filters out the noise and delivers legit info on licensed casinos, security, fairness, and gameplay. Slots? Live dealer games? Payout speed? Yep, it’s all in there, and it’s all vetted.

They work with reliable operators only, because – and here’s a crazy idea – not every shiny site deserves your deposit.

MegaTipsList

If you like sports predictions that read like a 20-page legal document, you’re in the wrong place.

MegaTipsList is built for bettors who want real insights, fast reads, accurate tips, and actual value. It delivers predictions, sports news, and timely promotions – minus the fluff and with none of that “win guaranteed” nonsense.

Designed for bettors who like to stay informed without needing a PhD to understand the odds.

MegaBetList

For the practical bettor who just wants the facts: which sites are legit, which ones pay fast, and what to expect before placing your first wager.

MegaBetList reviews betting platforms with a clear, no-nonsense voice. It’s not trying to dazzle; it’s trying to help people bet smarter – and it’s doing a pretty solid job of it.

From licensing to promotions to usability, everything is covered – and everything is filtered through what actually matters to sports fans.

Why This All Matters (And Why It’s Working)

The iGaming world doesn’t need more noise. It needs better filters, smarter partners, and affiliates that actually care whether the traffic leads somewhere useful.

That’s where MegaList comes in – not to impress with buzzwords, but to perform, to scale, and to make sure both operators and players are on the same page for once.

And if we may drop in a little vision while we’re at it:

“At MegaList, we believe informed players and strategic operators shape a stronger, smarter iGaming industry.”

For once, a statement that isn’t just inspirational filler.

So the next time someone pitches you an affiliate network, ask one thing: “Do they have a plan, or just a landing page?”
