Bragg Brings Fuze™ Player Engagement to Sports Betting Sector
Bragg Gaming Group has expanded its successful player engagement and gamification product Fuze™ to now be available on sportsbooks, offering operators a new way to enhance customer experience.
The Fuze™ toolset – already available to customers of Bragg’s online casino content via its proprietary distribution platform – has now been extended to sports betting products, enabling operators to leverage event-driven betting demand with targeted gamified promotions which punters can track in real-time.
Using the toolset, operators running sports betting promotions could, for example, challenge punters to bet on the outcome of every soccer match in a World Cup group stage, with prizes for participants with the highest ratio of winning bets, all tracked live using Fuze™ leaderboards.
The highly-configurable Fuze™ sports betting promotions open up a huge range of options to help operators promote specific sporting events, allowing punters to compete with each other and boosting wagers.
Additional features to be introduced in the near future include predefined individual challenges with a prize for successful completion, or a journey of multiple challenges with different achievement mechanics in return for rewards.
The technology can also be used to set up and operate loyalty programs where jurisdictions allow, in which punters collect points when making wagers to use later in a rewards store. Campaigns are easily set up thanks to a user-friendly back-office and integration is possible with all major sportsbook engines.
Fuze™ has been available to Bragg’s online casino customers since its successful launch in 2021. Data based on previous active promotions showed that the numbers of online casino bets, game rounds and players almost tripled during Fuze™ campaigns.
Fuze™ marked its sportsbook debut with leading Dutch operator BetCity.nl last week, with other operators expected to roll out with the functionality in the coming weeks and months.
Peter Lavric, Chief Technology Officer at Bragg Gaming Group, said: “Fuze™ is a technologically perfected, modular and scalable product that allows for an agnostic sportsbook engine integration to service clients of any size.
“We have high hopes for this solution as it enables sports fans to enjoy actively competing with each other, rather than passively following the events they love. Our engagement tools take the experience that punters get from sports betting to a whole new level while for operators, Fuze™ significantly helps drive business performance. As an already proven product with our online casino customers, we are certain that Fuze™ will perform as well with sportsbooks as it does with the casino segment and strongly believe that gamification is the future of sportsbooks.”

Eagerly anticipated release now confirmed following a highly successful exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive
Play’n GO has today announced the official US release of its hit title Colt Lightning Firestorm, following a three-week period of exclusivity with Rush Street Interactive brands BetRivers and SugarHouse.
Colt Lightning Firestorm was released in Europe and other jurisdictions in May 2024, and its release in the US comes with much fanfare following the game’s rave reviews in its short exclusivity period. The game is a sequel to the wildly popular Colt Lightning game which was released early last year, and indications at this stage suggest that this sequel may prove even more successful.
This announcement sees Colt Lightning Firestorm available to players in each state and operator with whom Play’n GO is licensed. Play’n GO first entered the online casino market in the US in 2022, and has reiterated its commitment to becoming active in every regulated market around the world.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Play’n GO said: “We’re excited to unveil Colt Lightning Firestorm to the wider online casino gaming community in the US, and have been very pleased to see its strong performance during its exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive. We had high hopes for the game following the success of its predecessor, and we’re confident that these robust results will continue now that the game is available to an even bigger audience.”
Esports entertainment company BLAST has announced plans to host two popular esports events in Singapore in 2024 and 2025.
BLAST will bring both world-class Counter-Strike and Dota 2 tournaments to the heart of Southeast Asia, marking a major step in Singapore’s emergence as an esports and gaming hub. Supported by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), these high-profile events will bring the world’s best esports teams and players from all across the world to compete in Singapore.
BLAST has teamed up with AEG Presents Asia, one of the world’s largest live entertainment entities to bring these events to Singapore. The partnership forms part of BLAST’s ambition to create the best esports experiences by working closely with premier destinations and the biggest and best live entertainment partners.
More than half of global esports views (57%) are estimated to come from the Asia Pacific region, 47% more than any other region in the world with the global market valued at $1.6 billion.
By bringing the top-tier Counter-Strike and Dota 2 tournaments to Singapore, BLAST aims
to attract global esports talent, foster local growth, and elevate Singapore’s status as a destination for world-class esports entertainment.
James Woollard, Director of Market Development at BLAST, said: “We are incredibly excited to bring two of the biggest esports titles to this vibrant destination. Over the coming 18 months, Singapore will become a major hub for esports in Southeast Asia, and with the support of the Singapore Tourism Board, we look forward to delivering unforgettable experiences for fans while helping to build a thriving esports ecosystem in the region. Bringing the first BLAST arena event to Singapore is an exciting first step in this journey. The World Final will see the world’s best Counter-Strike players and teams fighting for a $1,000,000 total prize pool.”
Ms Ong Ling Lee, Executive Director, Sports and Wellness, Singapore Tourism Board, said, “We are excited to host the BLAST Premier World Final and the BLAST Dota Slam in Singapore. The Counter-Strike event marks the first BLAST-branded event in Southeast Asia and the inaugural Counter-Strike tournament series in the region, solidifying Singapore’s position as a world-class esports destination. We are confident that the international participants and their legions of fans will have a memorable experience in Singapore, immersing themselves in the diverse and dynamic offerings of our city.”
The World Final 2024 will take place from 30th October – 3rd November and will be the first BLAST event to take place in Singapore, followed by the BLAST Dota Slam in 2025. The World Final will be the biggest Counter-Strike event to take place in Singapore, where the world’s best eight Counter-Strike teams will compete for a massive prize pool of $1,000,000 and the chance to claim bragging rights as the best team around.
