Relax Gaming, the igaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, is kicking off the year with another blockbuster slot game, Kluster Krystals Megaclusters after becoming the first supplier to gain IP rights to the popular mechanic, with every spin bringing the possibility of upgrading symbols for an incredibly rewarding player experience. Winning clusters kick things up a notch, causing all neighbouring symbols to upgrade to a double, triple or quad. The feature also applies to multipliers, boosting them by up to three times their starting value, causing win potential to soar. Serving up even more action is the treasure trove of Krystals, with three mini features that are guaranteed to trigger a sequence of six avalanches, each offering the chance for players to enhance their game.

 

iSoftBet, the award-winning online games supplier and content aggregator, invites players to ride the reels in its latest galloping hit Mighty Stallion Hold & Win. Set in the Wild West, the 3×5 slot combines both a free spins and respins bonus feature alongside iSoftBet’s highly popular Hold & Win mechanic that has sent many of its titles to the top of the slot charts in the last year. Taking iSoftBet’s Hold & Win format, players start with an initial three respins, which reset every time a fireball lands on the reels. If all 15 reel spots are filled, a gigantic 1,000x a player’s stake is awarded. Players’ chances of winning are not just limited to respins. Within base gameplay, the Mighty Stallion Wild Spin can be triggered at any time, where giant Wild Stallion symbols will spin through, with any landing turning into colossal wilds.

 

GAMING1 has launched its latest engaging slot game, Faëlorn. The 5×3 title invites fearless players to select their hero from a choice of eight, before chasing archenemies across the fields, mountains and deserts where the game is set. The fun-filled release’s cutting-edge SpinQuestTM feature allows intrepid slots players to win a guaranteed jackpot at the end of the adventure, by vanquishing all the rivals of the slot’s eight heroic characters. Live bonus options, free spins and HiRoller games for experienced enthusiasts can all be discovered along the way, with players taking a well-deserved break at the tavern to enjoy a game of cards with their trusty companions.

The fully developed characters and strong narrative are paired with a fun, detailed art style that fully captures the game’s feel.

 

Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the igaming industry, takes players to the land of the Pharaohs in its latest game, Mysterious Egypt. The 3×5, 10-payline video slot allows players to contribute to the expansion of Ancient Egypt in search of unfathomable wins. The base game features modifiers that mix up the immersive experience, including a brand-new mystery scatter symbol that is selected on each spin. The symbols, based on Egyptian artefacts, range from low-paying classic icons to more premium symbols, represented by birds, cats, pyramids, and the special Eye of Horus. The highest paying symbol in Mysterious Egypt is the Eye of Horus, which pays 500x for landing five across a payline. On every spin a special mystery symbol is randomly selected which can expand vertically to cover a reel. Three or more Scatter Symbols trigger the Free Spins mode. The Scatter also acts as a wild throughout all gameplay modes.

 

Blueprint Gaming has enhanced its hugely popular Jackpot King series for the new year with the inclusion of the classic gaming title, 7’s Deluxe. Following the successful additions of Reel Time Gaming (RTG) transitioned games to the Jackpot King progressive system, such as Eye of Horus and Fishin’ Frenzy, the company has moved to broaden the appeal of the industry’s leading jackpot offering with this latest entry. Only three Jackpot King symbols are required to gain entry to the Wheel King in this scorching-hot slot, where anticipation goes into overdrive with the potential to win big from one of three progressive pots. The original RTG game holds extensive market appeal across Europe, particularly within newly-regulated territories. The fruit machine inspired title is based on the classic sevens game and includes Wild Seven Substitutes, where the flaming 7 wild symbol substitutes the classic 7 symbol for extra wins.

 

Playson has unveiled an enthralling new slot title, Super Sunny Fruits: Hold and Win. Following on from the beloved Playson hit Sunny Fruits: Hold and Win, the developer’s latest game enhances that popular classic with the collecting symbol being added to Hold and Win mechanics, which remain a firm favourite among fans throughout the globe. In another exciting twist, the 3×5 title features a new Super Sun Bonus symbol that appears only during the Bonus Game. The symbol collects all visible Bonus Symbol values and adds them to its own total, giving players a thrilling chance to claim even bigger wins. Super Sunny Fruits: Hold and Win marks the most recent addition to Playson’s highly acclaimed Funky Fruits portfolio, comprising smash-hits such as Fruity Crown and Fruit Xtreme, which has helped the studio continue attracting audiences in regulated markets across the globe.

 

GameArt is proud to announce the release of Diego: El Pibe de Oro, a slot that pays homage to Diego Maradona, one of football’s greatest ever players and one of the world’s biggest personalities. Officially licensed through Applovesoft, it’s a game that will resonate with millions of fans around the world.

“No iGaming, marcas sólidas dependem de consistência, experiência e relacionamento de longo prazo”

Com uma trajetória construída em grandes grupos globais de mídia, entretenimento e varejo digital, Andréa Curral chega ao Grupo Esportes Gaming Brasil para ocupar o cargo de Diretora de Marketing em um momento estratégico para o mercado brasileiro de apostas regulamentadas.

Após passagens por empresas como Privalia, Discovery e Warner Bros., a executiva assume o desafio de fortalecer o posicionamento institucional e a estratégia de marca das operações Esportes da Sorte, Onabet e Lottu em um cenário cada vez mais competitivo, regulado e orientado por experiência do consumidor.

Em meio ao amadurecimento do setor de iGaming no Brasil, temas como branding, jogo responsável, aquisição eficiente, reputação e conexão cultural ganham relevância crescente para operadoras que buscam crescimento sustentável e diferenciação de longo prazo.

Nesta entrevista exclusiva ao Gaming Americas, Andréa Curral fala sobre como sua experiência em mercados tradicionais contribui para a construção de marcas mais sólidas no iGaming, o papel do marketing na promoção do jogo responsável, os desafios de equilibrar branding e performance em um ambiente altamente dinâmico e as estratégias do Grupo EGB para ampliar presença durante grandes eventos esportivos e manifestações culturais no país.

Andréa, você construiu uma trajetória sólida em gigantes globais de mercados tradicionais como Privalia, Discovery e Warner Bros.
Como essa experiência em branding e experiência do consumidor contribui hoje para sua atuação no iGaming com o Grupo EGB?

Andréa Curral – O principal aprendizado que trago de empresas de mídia, entretenimento e varejo digital é que marcas sólidas não se sustentam apenas em grandes campanhas, mas em consistência, experiência e construção de relacionamento no longo prazo. No iGaming, isso é ainda mais relevante, porque a relação com o usuário passa diretamente por confiança, clareza e segurança.

No Grupo EGB, buscamos aplicar uma visão integrada entre branding, performance e experiência do consumidor.

Isso significa tratar conteúdo como um ativo estratégico, trabalhar comunicação com lógica editorial e segmentação inteligente, além de utilizar métricas e tecnologia para melhorar continuamente a jornada do usuário.

Minha experiência em ambientes altamente competitivos também contribui para equilibrar crescimento, posicionamento institucional e eficiência operacional em um momento de amadurecimento importante para o mercado brasileiro.

Diante do atual momento de consolidação do mercado regulado no Brasil, quais são os principais focos e diretrizes da sua diretoria para o posicionamento institucional das marcas do grupo, Esportes da Sorte, Onabet e Lottu, dentro desse novo cenário?

O cenário atual exige marcas mais claras, operações mais eficientes e uma relação mais consistente com o público. Nossa estratégia está estruturada em três pilares principais: diferenciação de portfólio, experiência do usuário e construção de reputação.

Esportes da Sorte, Onabet e Lottu possuem posicionamentos distintos dentro do grupo, isso reduz a sobreposição e fortalece a identidade de cada operação. Mas um pilar comum a toda nossa empresa é o jogo responsável. É nossa responsabilidade garantir um ambiente controlado e saudável para a diversão.

Somos uma empresa com DNA brasileiro e nossos contratos de patrocínio vão além da exposição de mídia. Incentivamos a cultura nacional, gerando experiências relevantes, que conectam as marcas a territórios de grande relevância popular, como esporte, entretenimento e cultura.

Ao mesmo tempo, o aumento do custo de aquisição torna essencial uma operação integrada entre marketing, produto, atendimento e retenção, sempre alinhada às diretrizes de jogo responsável e à regulamentação vigente.

O Grupo EGB enfatiza o compromisso com o “jogo responsável”.
Como o marketing pode atuar de forma prática na educação do apostador e na promoção de bem-estar, transformando essa diretriz em comunicação efetiva para o público?

Para nós, jogo responsável não pode ser tratado apenas como uma obrigação regulatória ou uma mensagem complementar de comunicação. Ele precisa fazer parte da experiência do usuário, da operação e da construção de reputação da companhia.

O marketing tem um papel importante nesse processo ao comunicar com clareza, evitar promessas irreais e contribuir para uma relação mais consciente do usuário com o entretenimento.

Isso envolve reforçar mensagens sobre limites, autocontrole, pausas e transparência nas regras.

Também acreditamos que comunicação responsável ajuda a fortalecer um ambiente mais seguro e sustentável para todo o ecossistema. No longo prazo, confiança e reputação são ativos fundamentais para qualquer marca que queira crescer de forma consistente no setor.

Em termos de estratégia de crescimento, como você equilibra construção de marca de longo prazo (branding) com performance de curto prazo em um setor altamente dinâmico e competitivo como o iGaming?

Hoje Branding e performance trabalham em conjunto, de forma absolutamente integrada, para que os resultados de crescimento sustentável não dependam apenas de aquisição. Por isso, trabalhamos uma operação orientada por métricas, dados e otimização contínua, sem perder a visão estratégica de longo prazo.

A construção de marca passa por coerência, qualidade da experiência, clareza de comunicação e consistência na entrega. Esse mecanismo de relacionamento cria comunidade e reforça a confiança do usuário na marca.

A Copa do Mundo é um dos momentos mais disputados pela atenção do público.
Como o Esportes da Sorte está estruturando sua estratégia de mídia, conteúdo e transmissões oficiais para garantir presença forte e multiplataforma durante o torneio?

A Copa representa um dos maiores momentos de mobilização do entretenimento esportivo, então estruturamos uma estratégia multiplataforma que combina mídia, conteúdo e experiências presenciais.

O Esportes da Sorte fechou o patrocínio oficial das transmissões da Copa no SBT e na N Sports, garantindo presença em TV aberta, streaming, canais digitais e propriedades online das emissoras. Essa entrega amplia frequência e alcance de marca ao longo do torneio.

Mas entendemos que presença de mídia sozinha não é suficiente. Por isso, trabalhamos campanhas institucionais que conectam entretenimento, cultura popular e engajamento emocional.

“Torça como um Corinthiano”, por exemplo, usa a relação histórica da torcida do Corinthians com o clube para resgatar a conexão do brasileiro com a Seleção. Já “Convoque” aposta em humor, fantasia e linguagem digital para ampliar diálogo com diferentes públicos.

Tudo isso é desenvolvido mantendo o compromisso com comunicação responsável e alinhada às diretrizes do setor.

Dentro desse ecossistema de marca e entretenimento, quais serão os principais desdobramentos das ações de rua e patrocínios locais durante os períodos de grande consumo esportivo, como a Copa do Mundo?

Para os grandes eventos esportivos, nossa estratégia combina presença multiplataforma com experiências de proximidade junto ao público.

O objetivo é fazer com que as marcas do grupo estejam inseridas de forma orgânica na rotina e nos espaços de convivência dos torcedores, conectando entretenimento, conteúdo e experiência de marca.

Além da presença em mídia e transmissões oficiais, vamos trabalhar ativações proprietárias e ações presenciais em diferentes regiões do país, sempre buscando fortalecer relacionamento, engajamento e conexão cultural com o público.

Essa atuação também conversa diretamente com a visão do Grupo EGB de transformar patrocínios em plataformas contínuas de experiência e conteúdo, indo além da exposição tradicional e construindo relevância de longo prazo para as marcas.

Além do futebol, o Grupo EGB também investe em grandes manifestações culturais e eventos populares, como Carnaval e festivais regionais.
Como essas ativações se conectam à estratégia global de marca e à construção de presença no território brasileiro?

Nossa estratégia de marca está muito conectada à cultura popular e aos grandes territórios de mobilização do público brasileiro. O esporte é um pilar importante, mas não é o único.

Hoje o grupo apoia iniciativas de grande relevância nacional, como o Galo da Madrugada, o Festival de Parintins e o Carnaval em diferentes capitais brasileiras.

Essas propriedades ajudam a ampliar a presença nacional, fortalecer relacionamento com diferentes comunidades e criar conexões mais orgânicas com o público.

Mais do que exposição, buscamos desenvolver projetos de longo prazo que integrem conteúdo, experiência e ativação local. Isso permite que os patrocínios deixem de funcionar apenas como mídia tradicional e passem a operar como plataformas de relacionamento e construção institucional das marcas.

How RocketPlay Closed 100% of Its Complaints in 2025: Inside the System

Published

on

how-rocketplay-closed-100%-of-its-complaints-in-2025:-inside-the-system

In the iGaming industry, bonuses and welcome packages are no longer a brand differentiator. At the same time, compliance pressure is growing, acquisition costs continue to rise, and player trust has become harder to earn — and easier to lose.

As a result, player feedback is becoming one of the industry’s most important operational signals — changing from “nice to have” to a necessary indicator.

According to RocketPlay’s internal research conducted in early 2026, more than 20% of players check review platforms before registering on a casino website. For many of them, community feedback now matters as much as bonuses or game selection.

This shift is changing the role of reviews entirely, as right now review platforms function as public diagnostics systems for operators — revealing where friction appears, how brands behave under pressure and whether communication feels fair when something goes wrong.

From rating to operational signal

For years, many operators treated reviews mainly as a reputation management task: answer complaints, improve ratings and move on.

Today, complaints often reveal operational weaknesses faster than internal dashboards. Delayed withdrawals, unclear bonus rules, verification issues or poor escalation logic usually become visible in player feedback first.

That is why more operators now treat complaint handling as an operational process, rather than a PR layer. Players expect speed, clarity and fairness: they want to understand what happened, why a decision was made and whether the operator is open to reassessing the case.

Currently, some brands are building complaint workflows around 3 key principles: speed, clarity and fairness. Automation helps prioritise sensitive cases and reduce friction, while final decisions remain human-owned — especially in Responsible Gaming situations or complex disputes.

One example of this approach can be seen in RocketPlay’s operational model. The platform applies this approach through a structured 2-stage resolution system that covers both internal complaint handling and external escalations via independent platforms. Instead of treating complaints as isolated support tickets, the company uses recurring player feedback to identify friction points, clarify mechanics and improve communication flows.

In 2025, they closed 100% public complaints across Casino Guru and AskGamblers, with no repeat complaints from the same player. Recurring themes from these cases are consolidated and turned into product priorities, so that the same issue does not reach the next player.

This approach has also been recognized by the industry. In 2026, RocketPlay was shortlisted at the Casino Guru Awards in the category “The Most Effective Handling of Complaints,” reflecting its focus on transparent communication and structured complaint resolution. RocketPlay also won “Innovator of the Year (Operator)” at The International Gaming Awards 2025 for its AI-driven support implementation.

Why speed alone is not enough

Fast responses still matter, but speed alone no longer defines good complaint handling. Players value transparency, contextual reasoning and communication that feels human

RocketPlay’s internal metrics show that around 95% of cases receive a first meaningful response within 24 hours, while approximately 90% are addressed within two hours. AI-powered chat and email automation additionally help resolve a significant share of repetitive requests without requiring agent intervention.

However, the company believes that automation only works when paired with explainability. A rigid “Terms-only” approach may technically protect the operator, but can still damage long-term trust if players feel ignored or unfairly treated.

What this means for operators in 2026

The broader lesson for the industry is clear: reviews are no longer just reputation management. They are operational input.

In 2026, the operators most likely to build sustainable trust will not necessarily be the ones with the largest bonuses or the most aggressive acquisition funnels. Instead, they will be brands capable of listening systematically, reacting transparently and treating player feedback as part of product development itself.

The industry is entering a phase where trust is becoming measurable in public — and increasingly, players are the ones defining what that trust actually looks like.
