OptiLive empowers sportsbooks to maximize in-play (live) sports betting by delivering real-time, personalized messages to millions of players during live sporting events 

Optimove, the #1 CRM Marketing solution for iGaming and Sports Betting, today announced the launch of OptiLive, a first-of-its-kind solution that enables sportsbook operators to create CRM-powered live sports marketing at scale. By combining CRM data such as players interests and betting history, with real-time sports data, OptiLive empowers marketers to deliver timely, relevant messages to their players —all in the heat of the action. 

In-Play Betting Drives Higher Player Spending and Garners More Betting Budget

An analysis of 3,794,500 sportsbook bettors found that live betting accounts for 54% of total bets. Furthermore, live bettors consistently spend more than pre-match bettors. For example, in the U.S., bettors’ average monthly live betting spend is $1,583.90, compared to $846.20 for pre-match betting—an 87% increase. This highlights the immense revenue driver in-play betting is for sportsbooks and OptiLive is designed to capitalize on it. Through tackling the complexities of delivering simultaneous, real-time messages across multiple brands, sports and geolocations, OptiLive redefines the in-play betting experience, driving deeper connections with their players.  

A Game-Changing Example in Action 

Imagine a high stakes soccer match between Real Madrid and Barcelona and Kylian Mbappé scores a pivotal goal to put Real Madrid ahead. OptiLive will: 

1. Autonomously identify the relevant sports fans who’ve shown interest in bets related to Kylian Mbappé or the competing teams and,  

2. Instantly delivers a message alerting them of the goal the moment it happens, complete with the latest live odds 

This real-time, hyper-personalized approach captures the excitement, encourages immediate action, and drives higher in-play betting activity—keeping operators seamlessly connected to bettors during critical moments. 

With OptiLive, Optimove elevates mass personalization in marketing to new heights, enabling operators to manage millions of tailored messages across sports, regions, and events simultaneously. This ensures every bettor receives timely, relevant communications, no matter where or when they engage. 

OptiLive Only Delivers Messages Tailored to Each Sports Fan’s Interests 

Sports fans are selective about the games they follow—and irrelevant notifications risk disengagement.

A survey of 396 gamblers conducted by Optimove Insights, the research arm of Optimove, revealed that an overwhelming 86% of online gamblers opt-out from platforms due to an avalanche of irrelevant messages. 

OptiLive’s advanced AI-driven personalization engine ensures bettors only receive messages that are aligned with their interests and betting history. Soccer fans get instant updates when teams they bet on score thrilling goals while tennis enthusiasts are notified the moment the players they bet on win pivotal sets. OptiLive avoids generic, excessive notifications, delivering timely and meaningful updates that drive engagement and conversions. 

OptiLive seamlessly integrates into sportsbook operations 

Designed for scalability, OptiLive integrates effortlessly into sportsbook operations, automating personalized campaigns across all major sports and marketing channels.  

With OptiLive, sportsbook operators can now: 

  • Alert players of key sporting events, such as goals and penalties, in the moment. 
  • Provide players with statistical insights on players and teams to enhance decision-making. 
  • Monitor, analyze, and review campaign performance in real-time. 

“For operators, OptiLive is a game-changing capability to boost player engagement, build loyalty, and drive conversions like never before,” said Shai Frank, SVP of Product and GM of Americas at Optimove. “For the first time, OptiLive empowers marketers with CRM-powered live sports marketing campaigns delivering a totally new experience for players and operators alike. It’s not just another tool—it redefines live sports betting by connecting with personalized, perfectly-timed messages that make every moment more thrilling for players.”  

Frank also noted that the higher average spend by live bettors highlights the potential for operators to enhance player lifetime value through targeted, timely personalized messages to players. 

Optimove is the iGaming industry’s most comprehensive CRM Marketing platform 
 
The launch of OptiLive marks the latest advancement in Optimove’s robust suite of tools and capabilities, further reinforcing its position as the #1 CRM Marketing platform for the iGaming and Sports Betting. Optimove is the iGaming industry’s most comprehensive CRM Marketing platform that is now enhanced with the following:

Play’n GO invites players underwater in Bubblin’ Riches, a 6×4 slot where golden coins and greedy fish collide for submerged surprises.

Set in a playful underwater reef, Bubblin’ Riches brings a burst of colour and charm to the reels. At the heart of the action is a bloated Goldfish with a hoarding habit – every Coin Scatter that lands could feed its fortune, or set off a surprise payout. As part of Play’n GO’s expanding roster of quirky, character-led games, this release turns Hold & Spin mechanics into something far more unpredictable, with a visual flair that brings every coin flip to life.

Bubblin’ Riches thrives on suspense and spectacle. Players can trigger Lock’n Gold by landing six Coin Scatters – launching a sticky respin feature where coins flip to reveal multipliers up to 10x, and a full screen secures an instant 500x win. Meanwhile, the towering coin stack above the reels is more than just a visual gag: it can burst at any moment, showering players with jackpots up to 1,000x. For those chasing longevity, Reward Spins introduce sticky Wild Multipliers and up to 65 spins – all anchored by a spinning prize wheel.

Fans of whimsical, visual-forward slots like Hugo Carts or Nyjah Huston – Skate for Gold will find plenty to love in Bubblin’ Riches. Its character-first design and surprise-based mechanics align with Play’n GO’s wider focus on entertainment, while the bubbling tension of the Goldfish jackpot stack introduces a fresh twist to classic features.

Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said: “Bubblin’ Riches builds anticipation in every spin, with a charming visual twist. It’s a playful example of how we blend innovative mechanics with entertainment value.”

Blueprint Gaming™ has introduced a new four pots mechanic and enlarged 5×3 grid to its latest release, Cash Strike Power Force 5, marking an innovative double debut for the internationally recognised series.

With various iterations from the Cash Strike family consistently ranking in the supplier’s top 10 revenue-generating markets, the new title builds on the impressive momentum from its predecessors.

In a series first, four newly introduced collect symbols are gathered alongside cash icons by their matching symbols sitting above the reels. In an immediate enhancement to base play, once any of the four have been gathered, they pose a chance of triggering the Cash Strike Bonus Game with their respective modifiers – Expand, Boost, Multiply or Respin.

Standing as the game’s showstopper, landing a collect symbol on reel three can also randomly trigger Power Force 5, which sees the bonus game launch with all four pot features in play, considerably boosting the win potential on offer.

If three or more cash or collect symbols are secured on consecutive reels, traditional entry to bonus play is granted, which also features one of the four modifiers in action.

For those in pursuit of further engagement, Power Play is also welcomed back in Blueprint’s October release. Available at 5x the original bet, only cash or collect symbols feature, adding a lavish flair to the reels.

Cash Strike Power Force 5 showcases Blueprint Gaming’s commitment to developing new concepts that attract the attention of players and deliver increased engagement opportunities for operators worldwide.

Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing, PR and Events, said:Cash Strike Power Force 5 represents everything players and operators love about the Cash Strike series, while taking things to the next level with our new four-pots mechanic and expanded reel set.
