Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

eCOGRA a leading provider of a range of testing, inspection and certification services, have announced a new brand campaign, including a refresh of their brand identity, and the launch of their new website. In addition to the logo, visual identity and website, eCOGRA have also updated their messaging to reiterate their commitment to navigating complex regulatory environments and providing customers with confidence and peace of mind that they are engaging with an independent, impartial and world renowned accredited testing agency.

“While our company has grown rapidly over the past number of years, our focus has centred on maintaining our exceptional levels of service, and so our brand identity has not evolved at the same pace as the wider business. We are therefore thrilled to unveil our brand refresh which represents yet another major milestone,” said Shaun McCallaghan, CEO at eCOGRA. “Our updated branding is a reflection of our commitment to fair gaming, responsible conduct, player protection and regulatory compliance, and we are confident that our new website will provide our customers with a more streamlined and engaging experience.”

The brand refresh and website launch come at an exciting time for eCOGRA, which has seen strong growth in recent years and is poised for further expansion in several jurisdictions across the globe. In recent months eCOGRA have been authorised to offer certification services as an independent testing laboratory (ITL) in Pennsylvania and Michigan on the satisfactory completion of rigorous checks by the relevant Gaming Control Boards. eCOGRA is the first laboratory headquartered outside of the US to be authorised to operate in these states, a welcome addition to their US jurisdictions which also include Colorado and New Jersey. The company plans to continue expanding their jurisdiction and investing in their products, services, and technology to better serve their customers and maintain their position as a leader in the compliance space.

Initial elements of eCOGRA’s brand evolution include:

New Logo: The new logo is still recognisable with the company’s signature tick mark which stands for quality of service and high standards, placed on a blue and grey playing card shape, a subtle nod to the industry eCOGRA operates in. The strong geometric shape of the new logotype signifies the weight of the company’s reputation, and the ‘e’ is highlighted in a warm orange tone, calling out eCOGRA’s warmth of approach with customers and specialisation in online gambling industry.

New Brand Video: The new brand video, which sits on the homepage of ecogra.org, provides an engaging and informative overview of eCOGRA’s products and services. The explainer video was created to help customers and stakeholders better understand the benefits of working with eCOGRA to achieve their testing, inspection and compliance goals. The video features clear and concise messaging, and a compelling narrative that highlights the company’s unique value proposition.

New Website: The new website features a modern design and user-friendly interface, with enhanced functionality and improved navigation. Visitors can browse the site to learn more about key services such as Product Certification, Cyber Security Assessments and ADR, access resources such as Certified Client Verification and Survey forms, and easily contact the company for further information.

New Brand Purpose Statement: Compliance Without Compromise.

Extendy – Premier platform for affiliate teams looking to create online casinos.

An innovative platform for creating turnkey online casinos is entering the market, developed over more than four years by a team of 150 engineers in collaboration with top arbitration experts. The platform’s main advantages are its exceptionally quick return on investment, a fully autonomous turnkey operating system, and a focus on mobile traffic.

Owning a casino brand offers arbitration teams several benefits. The primary advantage is that investing in paid traffic can build free, high-quality organic traffic from social media, SEO, external sites, etc., over the long term. When traffic is directed to a partner, the team receives immediate financial returns but loses out on the long-term bonuses of owning their brand.

Return on Investment in 6 Months

Close partnerships with top arbitration teams over several years have allowed thousands of hypotheses to be tested, resulting in an ideal product tailored for these teams. This product maximizes player lifetime value (LTV) and reduces traffic payback time to just six months.

This effect is achieved through numerous technical solutions that enable real-time analysis of advertising campaigns and predictive determination of which to halt and which to scale up. One such solution is the “Traffic Light” technology, which quickly predicts whether the traffic will be profitable. Each partner is marked with a colour: green for excellent traffic that should continue, yellow for questionable traffic that requires caution, and red for bad traffic that should be stopped immediately. Arbitration teams that have used the “Traffic Light” technology for some time report that quick traffic analysis makes it almost impossible to incur losses.

Best ROI for Mobile Traffic with AppAI Technology

One of Extendy’s standout features is its unique AppAI technology, which unlocks new possibilities for attracting mobile traffic. A specially developed neural network analyzes the user’s profile and the ad they came from, creating a unique onboarding flow that significantly increases conversion rates. This drastically reduces the return on investment time for this type of traffic.


“AppAI is a perfect demonstration that Extendy is created by professionals for professionals. During the development process, our arbitration partners repeatedly emphasized the importance of working with mobile traffic. We dedicated a significant amount of time to optimizing the product for mobile players,” said Aivar, CBDO of Extendy.com.

Autonomous Operating System and Turnkey Brand

Another key advantage of Extendy is its fully autonomous operating system, which meets the highest industry standards.

The entire infrastructure is designed so that arbitration teams receive a fully functional casino for long-term development and profit without the need to manage any operational processes.


The CRM, Support, VIP, Content, Payment, Legal, and other operational components of the product are fully automated and self-sufficient. Ready-made, tested, and unique retention funnels, email sequences, gamification systems, 24/7 support, and VIP support in all languages, along with many other solutions, allow casino owners to fully focus on marketing and player acquisition.

In a closed beta phase, dozens of successful casinos were launched on the platform, including BetOnRed, CryptoLeo, BDMBet, and many others. Millions of players are attracted and an average traffic payback period of six months proves that the platform is effective and ready for public launch and further growth.

All you need to create your online casino on the Extendy platform is to submit an application on the Extendy website. Within 2 months of signing the contract, you will receive a license, necessary payment gateways and game providers will be connected to the brand, and final adjustments will be made.

To celebrate the platform launch, a promotion has been launched. Write in the comments of your application that you are from EuropeanGaming and receive special setup conditions.

Since the beginning of 2024, content aggregator and solution provider Slotegrator has been analyzing case studies and conducting careful research. Why did the company choose this development path? What results have been achieved, and what can be expected in the future? It’s time to take a look at how 2024 is going — and maybe get a sneak peek at 2025.

Since the beginning of the year, Slotegrator has continued to actively present its new and updated solutions, like the company’s turnkey online casino platform and its key modules, including the KYC, BI, and Casino Builder modules, alongside many others. These modules are strategically designed to streamline online casino management, covering tasks like analyzing big data, assessing risks, and enhancing platform performance.

The modules have proven to be very effective, partially because they satisfy clients’ concrete needs. The primary sources of inspiration for these cutting-edge innovations are the company’s internal research and case studies of successful clients.

According to Slotegrator’s internal research, clients reported that the integration of these updates came at just the right time. Customers particularly valued the revamped player segmentation module, offering customization options and personalized marketing options, and a renewed anti-fraud module that utilizes a color-coded risk scale that allows operators to set risk levels.

“This feedback from our customers is a great foundation for Slotegrator’s future report on future iGaming trends in 2025. We’re constantly collecting and updating information on new technologies, game types, payment methods and player behavior, and honest feedback on the new features of upgrades helps us understand the direction of our future development,” comments Yana Khaidukova, managing director at Slotegrator.

Innovation is key to keeping up with the fast-paced iGaming industry. In 2024, the Slotegrator team is focused on enhancing product quality and publishing insightful case studies to better demonstrate the capabilities of its products. So far, Slotegrator has published multiple case studies analyzing its clients’ success. Here are the two latest examples:

 

When it comes to modern iGaming trends, many of them haven’t changed — we should expect to see more VR integration in esports, AI, blockchain, and cryptocurrency adoption. Also, mobile-first gameplay will be a new standard. The Slotegrator team has also noted an increasing emphasis on responsible gaming throughout the iGaming industry. Slotegrator keeps all of these in mind when entering attractive markets with new partners — especially those in Latin America and Asia.

What about licenses? Slotegrator recommends keeping up to date with licensing conditions. Among the most promising jurisdictions are:

  • Kahnawake
  • The Isle of Man.
  • Anjouan

Faruk Aydin, Chief Revenue Officer of Revpanda, a Slotegrator’s media partner, adds to the list of trends some points about promotion on the iGaming industry: “Within the first half of 2024, we’ve seen that human-written content has made a great comeback, thanks to Google’s recent core update. It has started to remove AI-written shallow content across the entire SERPs, and the SEO community expects this trend to continue. Overall, we can say that the first half of the year strongly demonstrates Google’s effort to fill the SERPs with high-quality, engaging, local, and relevant content, avoiding fluff and providing the most useful resources to people.”

William Sarto, PR & Marketing specialist at CasinoRIX or CasinoRIX team, comments:

“In recent months, Google has undergone several significant changes due to a major update that started in March and ended in April. Then, at the beginning of May, they launched another big update. We’ve already seen many affiliate sites affected by this, particularly those that overused AI-generated content. AI has become mainstream, so it’s important to integrate it into processes based on thorough market analysis and real statistical data.

Moreover, there’s a clear trend towards creating projects that offer additional value for players and partners. It’s crucial to build a brand, not just a network of sites, and to add values into what you create while striving to meet customer needs. We fully agree with the earlier comments that in-depth analysis and staying in tune with trends will lead to success and growth. As we can see, all major and well-known projects are steadily growing with these updates.”

NFTs and the future of fan engagement: How NFTs can boost engagement with sports brands

Published

By: Evgeniy Babitsyn, Chief Marketing Officer, Bets.io

The sport industry finds itself amidst its own digital transformation journey with the introduction of new technologies, and at the forefront of this digital shift are NFTs – otherwise known as Non-Fungible Tokens.

NFTs can represent any kind of digital item, and in recent years have commonly been used for quirky collectibles and art work – but they now enter the sports arena in a unique way. The beauty of NFTs is the unique metadata and ownership information which is tracked via blockchain, making them a one-of-a-kind digital collectible that cannot be duplicated. As a result of their collectible nature, it’s only natural that NFTs caught the eyes of eager sports enthusiasts and die-hard fans.

In fact, according to Deloitte research, around 40% of Gen Z and millennial sports fans are at least somewhat familiar with the use of NFTs and fan tokens in sports.

But why is that? And how can they boost engagement?

NFTs are rapidly emerging as a powerful tool for sports brands in driving deeper fan engagement and unlocking new revenue streams. This is because sports fans are, by nature, competitive and eager to own exclusive content from their much loved players, teams and brands. They want to be part of the action.

By playing on this feeling, and reinforcing loyalty among fans in this way, sports brands have a huge opportunity to take their revenue streams to new heights and gain a competitive advantage over other brands.

Imagine an athlete releases a limited-edition NFT that represents the most iconic moment in their career, such as the winning shot or a record breaking performance. Fans who own that NFT can then access exclusive content related to that moment including behind-the-scenes footage or interviews.

There really is no limit to these tokens, and depending on the asset, they can be much sought after. As more and more sports fans embrace the digital tokens, sports brands are quickly learning that there is huge potential for fan engagement, if they continue to innovate with this technology.

 

Taking collectibles to the 21st Century

Sports memorabilia and collectibles have for centuries been a way for fans to feel more connected to their favourite teams and athletes. And now thanks to the advances of technology – more specifically, blockchain technology – fans can collect within the digital realm, gaining access to truly “own” unique digital items and experiences.

Beyond just digital art or collectibles, NFTs can also integrate the idea of gamification, exclusive content and experiences into their NFTs – allowing fans to engage more actively while unlocking new revenue opportunities.

The possibilities are endless, extending far beyond just digital collectibles. They can provide fans with access to exclusive digital or in-person experiences, events and merch as well. Think front row seats or the chance for a meet and greet post-game.

With this, NFTs provide an excellent way for brands to diversify their revenue streams by monetising their content and intellectual property strategically.

It really is win-win, fans can own a piece of their favourite team’s history while supporting their team financially. And sports brands can benefit from more loyal fans.

 

Transforming the fan experience

Engagement is everything to sports brands. After all, the fans are really the most important stakeholders in the end. And offering NFTs can be a powerful tool in fostering deeper engagement within fan communities. NFTs provide more innovative ways for fans to connect, prove their loyalty and gain recognition for their allegiance.

Let’s look at NBA Top Shot. NBA Top Shot is the perfect example of a blockchain-based platform that allows fans to own and collect officially licensed NBA collectibles digitally. The platform offers exclusive collectibles including videos of the biggest NBA moments and highlights.

And football teams are also following suit. Manchester City, PSG, FC Barcelona have all joined in on the NFT hype – offering their own NFT collections for keen supporters such as worn jerseys, trophies and more.

 

Sports Betting and NFTs

And when it comes to sports betting, NFTs take the iGaming experience to the next level. Fans can purchase NFTs that represent specific bets, such as the winner of a particular game or the performance of a specific player. These NFTs can then be traded or sold, just like other NFTs, providing a new level of flexibility and excitement for betting.

The use of NFTs in the sports industry is still in its early stages, but has already shown great potential. We can expect more applications to come in the world of sports – including at Bets.io. Watch this space.

Looking ahead, the future is incredibly promising for sports brands who leverage NFTs within their business operations. Those who embrace these new powerful ways to inspire fans and forge deeper relationships with their communities, will see their efforts translate into business value.
