NSoft: Push notifications in the Betting and Gaming
The global sports betting & gaming market is thriving like never before. According to the findings of the Zion Market Research study, the sports betting industry gathered revenue of about US$ 131.1 billion in 2020 and is slated to earn revenue of approximately US$ 179.3 billion in 2028. As numerous markets worldwide are on the path to becoming regulated ones, new opportunities are arising for providers in LatAm, Africa, and the United States.
The sports betting and gaming software providers join forces with local suppliers and operators to expand in the local markets and implement player protection and anti-money laundering measures.
As the competition is getting heavier in acquiring new punters, here at NSoft, we strive to give our customers and partners the best practices and tools to help them market their products in healthy and responsible ways.
Our ongoing commitment to implementing the Responsible Gaming Policy is a critical part of our everyday business practices. With players’ safety in our mind, the focus is also on using only cutting-edge technology to unleash the creativity of our developers and designers; NSoft aims to deliver effective customer-centric solutions for audiences worldwide.
Innovations within the Seven Sportsbook platform
The foundation of any successful betting and gaming business lies in a powerful and unified platform that runs like clockwork.
NSoft’s iGaming platform Seven empowers the brand and builds loyalty by providing an omnichannel experience on each channel: retail, terminal, responsive online, and mobile dedicated App – a native one, both for Android and iOS, not just “mobile view” sold as an App, with several paying methods. Our sports betting applications provide a user-friendly interface and higher performance for mobile users.
Years of experience are behind us. Seven is omnichannel, feature-rich, scalable, jurisdictionally compliant, and provides a full range of player monitoring and management tools, including segmentation tools, advanced reporting, payment, etc. security, all in one place.
Seven betting platform was recently improved by enhancing it with another module – the integration of the Xtremepush module for the online channel, emphasizing mobile apps. Since push notifications are a handy communication platform, betting operators can benefit from them on multiple levels, including reaching new customers, onboarding, and delivering highly engaging content.
Personalizing players’ on-site experience to reach high engagement levels
NSoft is focused on the players and their reactions while they’re playing our virtual games, placing wagers on attractive matches, or spinning the reel of our Casino games.
Delivering dynamic content and real-time player experience with all of our products is most important. What drives the punter to place the deposit and make his first bet?
The synergy between the provider, NSoft, and our partners, comes to light here with the common goal of engaging the audiences across every device and channel.
Who are they? What are the punters looking for? What drives the excitement?
Players’ segmentation and profiling help us create personalized and valuable offers and relevant content that resonates with their needs.
The push notifications come in handy here. As mentioned above, thanks to the integration of the Xtremepush module, the online channel is now enriched with a form of a highly personalized piece of communication – push notifications.
Now we can optimize player acquisition and fuel engagement by sending relevant messages via push notifications. This valuable communication channel with the punters is quite direct and beneficial and provides real user value to the customer.
And let’s not forget how time is vital for push notifications. We gain so much by doing the customer segmentation first and then targeting the right customer with carefully planned and personalized messages at the right time. The higher levels of App engagement are easy to reach as push notifications are a remarkable tool for communication.
Simple and effective push notifications
After the segmentation and profiling of the players are done, we are fully aware of their preferences and desires, so the next step is taking action to create relevant content that resonates with their needs.
What else can be achieved with push notifications?
Increasing bet frequency is also one of the goals to be reached. A personalized app push notification can be sent at the right time to users based on their previously shown interest and behavior on mobile. Thus intelligent segmentation drives players towards odds they have shown interest in.
With the help of Xtremepush, NSoft has valuable insight into the analytics of players and their preferences. Re-engaging the dormant players is one of the challenges. When they are inactive for some time, we can spark their interest by sending them intelligent notifications with data aligned with their past actions and interests. For example, engage them with odds and offers you know are likely to appeal to them because they’re connected with their favorite football team.
Delivering real-time odds to players at the crucial moments will help us capitalize on the essential Live events and matches. In that case, the push notifications can nudge the players by offering them additional bets (penalty decisions, yellow cards, etc.) on games they have already bet on or shown interest in.
Through the highly personalized user journeys backed with data-driven analytics, push notifications are a powerful tool for increasing engagement and bringing players back into Apps by offering them relevant and exciting content.

Phantum Introduces High-End Mousepads with Collectible Packaging and Parisian Design Roots

Bridging the gap between functional hardware and considered design, Phantum debuts its first line of high-performance mousepads. The collection is built for users who demand precision but won’t compromise on aesthetics. Developed in Paris by founders Amine G. and Victor B., the mousepads combine minimalist design with carefully selected materials and collectible elements, positioning the product as a functional tool and a design object.
Created for gamers and digital creatives, Phantum’s mousepads emphasize tactile performance while remaining visually restrained. The surfaces are crafted using Japanese Poron and advanced fabrics chosen for their durability, responsiveness, and sensory qualities. Each product is designed to enhance, not distract from, the overall composition of a desk setup.
The company’s visual language draws on space, transparency, and disappearance themes, an intentional move to create objects that integrate flawlessly into a work or play environment. “Every detail reflects our DNA: clean, sharp, and futuristic,” said co-founder Amine G., whose tech-focused YouTube channel, MRG TECH, has built a following of over 200,000 subscribers. “We create tools that disappear under the hand but leave a lasting impression through design, feel, and finish.”
Phantum’s founders launched the brand after finding few products that met their standards for both performance and design integrity. The debut line is only the beginning: the team is developing glass mousepads and matching performance sleeves, with plans to expand into a broader ecosystem of desk essentials. Each new release will continue to feature collectible packaging designed to add narrative value rather than act as decoration.
Though recently launched, Phantum is already drawing attention beyond France, particularly in Latin America, where design-conscious gamers have begun to integrate the mousepads into their setups. The first collection is now available on phantum.co, with new formats and accessories to follow.

CyberPowerPC India launches ‘Play Guarantee’ campaign for a transparent and gamer-first experience

In a market where gamers often make high-investment purchases without knowing exactly how their machine will perform until they bring it home and install a game, CyberPowerPC India is changing the game. With the Play Guarantee, CyberPowerPC India reinforces its confidence in the performance and reliability of its systems, offering buyers added assurance that what they receive will meet or exceed expectations. This is a first-of-its-kind offer in India’s custom PC market.
Every system sold under the Play Guarantee will be built using 100% brand-new parts sourced from authorized manufacturers. Each PC will come pre-installed with a genuine and activated version of Microsoft Windows at the BIOS level, ensuring users avoid post-purchase license issues or hidden software costs.
Additionally, customers will receive one year of on-site support, with certified technicians dispatched to their location for repairs or replacements, eliminating the need for long shipping delays or third-party service centers. Before dispatch, all the PCs undergo rigorous stress testing using global industry benchmarks to ensure performance integrity across GPU, CPU, thermals, and memory.
Vishal Parekh, Chief Operating Officer, CyberPowerPC India commented,“As more Indian gamers upgrade to high-performance PCs, trust becomes a critical factor. Gamers shouldn’t have to take a leap of faith when buying a PC. They should know what they’re getting and know it works right out of the box. We at CyberPowerPC India always believed in transparency, may it be sharing FPS benchmarks before purchase or building with only brand-new components. The ‘Play Guarantee’ campaign aligns perfectly with our commitment to building a credible, consumer-first ecosystem in Indian PC gaming, especially as the community becomes more competitive and discerning.”
According to a NeoGrowth study, 54% of Indian consumers prefer offline shopping due to the assurance of authenticity and product quality, underscoring a strong demand for transparency in purchase decisions. CyberPowerPC India’s ‘Play Ready’ campaign aims to replicate this confidence in the online custom PC market.
This campaign follows the company’s recent efforts to strengthen grassroots esports infrastructure, including its partnership with Indian esports organization Orangutan to power ApeCity, a dedicated esports arena in Navi Mumbai, with high-performance systems.
As part of its ongoing investment in the growth of India’s PC gaming market, CyberPowerPC India is also working to make high-performance gaming setups more accessible to a wider range of gamers. With the launch of its ‘Play Ready’ campaign, the company aims to foster a gaming culture built on transparency, trust, and a seamless user experience.
