In addition, ICONIC21 will further expand its product portfolio which will boast more variety and innovative features so that its content caters to a wider audience and with deeper player engagement.
This includes focusing on unique, innovative content and games, never-seen-before formats and bonus features, with a greater focus on the ever-popular live gameshow segment.
The company’s robust promotional engine will be further enhanced with the introduction of additional products and tools, enabling partners to run comprehensive, targeted campaigns aimed at driving acquisition and retention
ICONIC21 remains committed to setting the standard for customer personalisation, allowing operators to tailor the live dealer and live games experience offered to their players in a way that perfectly aligns with their branding and player expectations and preferences in each market they target.
Edvardas Sadovskis, CPO at ICONIC21, said: “Our transition to ICONIC21 is a strategic step forward that reflects our vision to lead with a passion for innovation, oriented toward our partners and players. Our commitment to customer-centricity has been at the heart of our success.
With our new brand, we will accelerate our growth plans, bringing more groundbreaking content and unique game formats to the market.
Rebranding as ICONIC21 symbolizes a new era where we can deepen our commitment to becoming the must-have provider in the gaming industry.
