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:

N1 Partners team has wrapped up its participation at iGB L!VE London 2026. Over the course of the two-day conference, the company unveiled its new N1 Duality booth concept, presented exclusive art collaborations as part of a capsule collection created with fashion illustrator Clym Evernden, launched the first drop of custom designer toys in collaboration with Yoomoota, and introduced the limited-edition SPLIT: London merch collection.

Special attention was also given to N1 Sport Promo — a campaign for affiliates working with sports traffic and the Prediction Markets vertical.

Over the two days, the conference served as a platform for hundreds of meetings with partners, conversations with industry media, and presentations of new opportunities for scaling affiliate businesses.

N1 Duality: When Art Becomes a Part of Networking

Throughout both days, N1 Partners’ booth remained one of the busiest destinations at iGB L!VE London. N1 Duality concept brought together business networking, contemporary art, and interactive experiences, transforming it into a space for meetings, new connections, and discussions of future collaborations.

The experience centrepiece was a live art performance by British artist Clym Evernden, who has collaborated with global luxury brands including Hermès, Prada, Tiffany, Diptyque, and others. Throughout the exhibition, he created a large-scale artwork directly on the booth walls using his signature continuous-line illustration technique.

Visitors were able to watch the creative process unfold in real time, receive original sketches, signed postcards, and exclusive merchandise from the capsule collection designed specifically for N1 Partners by the artist, including a tote bag, T-shirt, scarf, socks, and scented candles.

Another major premiere was the collaboration with designer and creator Yoomoota, whose works have been exhibited at PAD London, Art Miami, and the Red Dot Museum and featured in Forbes, Hypebeast, Vice, Elle Decor, and Designboom.

Exclusively for the conference, Yoomoota created a collectible designer toy that became part of N1 Partners’ limited-edition gift collection and quickly turned into one of the most talked-about pieces of the brand’s exclusive drop. 

And this is only the beginning — new exclusive designer toys created by N1 Partners and Yoomoota are already in development for SBC Summit Lisbon and SiGMA Europe Rome.

The interactive DICES game, branded giveaways, and an atmosphere of open communication made the booth a natural meeting point for affiliates, clients, and industry professionals throughout the event.

iGB L!VE London 2026 Highlights

iGB L!VE London provided an excellent opportunity to reconnect with existing partners, meet new industry professionals, and discuss future cooperation opportunities.

Among the key outcomes of the conference for the N1 Partners team:

  • Presentation of the N1 Duality concept and the new SPLIT: London merchandise collection;
  • Exclusive art collaborations with British fashion illustrator Clym Evernden for the capsule collection and designer Yoomoota for the custom collectible toy series;
  • Presentation of N1 Sport Promo for affiliates working with sports traffic and the Prediction Markets vertical;
  • 300+ meetings with existing and prospective partners;
  • 10+ interviews and media productions with leading industry publications;
  • More than 2,400 pieces of exclusive merchandise and branded gifts distributed by N1 Partners.

iGB L!VE London 2026 has been one of the most exciting and productive exhibitions of the year for us. We held dozens of meetings with partners, explored new opportunities for business growth, and received an outstanding response to N1 Sport Promo.

I’d also like to highlight our creative collaborations with designers Clym Evernden, who developed our exclusive capsule collection, and Yoomoota, who created our custom collectible toys. Together, we succeeded in bringing affiliate business, art, and creativity into one shared experience.

We’re grateful to all our partners for the productive meetings we had during this event in London. Face-to-face communication is what lays the foundation for new projects, stronger partnerships, and long-term growth,” said Alexa Bond, Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners.
