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.
GGL set to systemize and monetize the world’s largest untapped entertainment audience – the over 3 billion people who play video games worldwide
Las Vegas, NV, April 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Global Gaming League (GGL), a global gaming entertainment and media company, announced today the raise of $10 million for its SAFE round led by Solyco Capital. GGL was founded by Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum music producer and entrepreneur Clinton Sparks, in partnership with music icon T-Pain and tech visionary Jeff Hoffman (Priceline, UBid, Booking.com).
The Global Gaming League is a first of its kind multi-title gaming league with celebrity owned teams made up of four players each – high profile influencers, actors, athletes, artists, casual and professional gamers – who compete in live events playing everything from first person shooter, sports titles and fighting games to the latest releases and retro favorites. The GGL is not an esports league – it’s a gaming entertainment league that brings together every style of play and every kind of player. It’s multigenerational, multicultural, and converges gaming, music, sports, fashion, celebrity, competition and culture.
“There are over 3 billion gamers around the world,” said Clinton Sparks, Founder and CEO of GGL. “But there’s still no centralized platform that gives everyday players the spotlight—while authentically connecting brands, celebrities, and competition in a way that’s truly entertaining. That’s where GGL comes in. Imagine the energy of the Super Bowl, the fandom of Comic-Con, and the culture of ComplexCon and Coachella. There is currently no place for investors to have any meaningful return on a gaming investment, brands to consistently get an ROI with gaming, publishers to expand their IP to new audiences, celebrities to have an authentic footprint in gaming and nothing set up for all gamers to build a career as a gamer, and have a chance to be recognized globally as true athletes. Until now.”
The GGL’s matches will take place at their state-of-the-art campus and arena in Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world and the home of the Global Gaming League. GGL’s studio facility The Campus powered by Vū, is set to elevate the city’s connection with the video gaming community forever. It is the most technologically advanced studio in the area, boasting the largest wrap-around digital screen in the Western U.S. (second only to Sphere) and 43,000 square feet of space with everything for Hollywood-level film and television production and VIP events of all kinds. GGL delivers unforgettable experiences, high-impact sponsorship moments, and a new entertainment format where the audience is just as important as the action.
“Everybody games,” said T-Pain, GGL Director of Strategy and team owner. “67% of people between the ages of 5 and 90 game in some form—in fact, more people watch video gaming than any sport (short of the NFL). 46% of gamers are female, colleges give scholarships for gaming now. and the average gamer is 36 years old, despite most thinking it’s only for kids. Gaming is a faster, cheaper and safer path to success than traditional sports.”
The Global Gaming League is providing real opportunity for gamers around the world to be drafted and earn a salary as a player on a celebrity owned team through the global nomination submission process where gamers can log on to globalgamingleague.com and sign up. Since announcing this, the league has over a quarter of a million entries to play for one of the celebrity-owned teams.
The first team owners to be revealed include:
- T-Pain – Grammy-winning artist and beloved voice in gaming culture
- Bryce Hall – TikTok star, Bare Knuckle brawler and digital entrepreneur
- Flavor Flav – Hip hop legend, reality show icon, and official host of the Olympics
- Ric Flair – 16-time world champion legendary professional wrestler known for his flamboyant personality and signature catchphrase, “Wooooo!”
GGL will be announcing more team owners in the coming weeks pulling from music, film, sports, fashion, social media and gaming.
Game time is the new prime time.
Gaming is projected to surpass $300 billion by 2026—outpacing TV, film, and music combined. But it’s not just the revenue—it’s the attention. Unlike traditional media, where viewers are distracted, multitasking, or skipping ads, gaming commands full focus. There’s no second screen. No passive scrolling. Just millions of fully immersed fans, locked in and actively engaged.
For brands, this isn’t just a new channel—it’s a new kind of consumer. One who’s not just watching, but participating. One who’s emotionally invested in the moment and wide open to authentic brand experiences that enhance gameplay rather than interrupt it. This is where advertising stops feeling like an ad—and starts becoming part of the story.
“Gaming is a blue ocean opportunity for brands, investors, and new business. Gamers spend 30% more on retail than non-gamers and that number goes up in key categories like automobiles, travel and technology,” said John Garcia, Founder and Managing Partner of Solyco Capital. “Gamers don’t just play—they influence. Today’s gamer spans generations and lifestyles. They watch, buy, and move culture. When I met Clinton Sparks and listened to his vision, I knew this wasn’t just another business idea—it’s a key future in media.”
More Than a League — A Launchpad for Talent, Education, and Opportunity
The launch also includes the GGL Academy—a first-of-its-kind initiative focused on empowering advancement through gaming education, career pathways, and scholarship opportunities. The Academy is built to train, mentor, and connect aspiring gamers, creators, and professionals to real-world roles across the gaming, entertainment, and tech industries.
Strategic partnerships with NYU, UNLV, and Syracuse are already underway, building a direct pipeline from the classroom to the arena. With 74% of Gen Z expressing interest in careers in gaming or digital media, GGL is creating the infrastructure to meet that demand—especially in underserved communities where access to opportunity has been historically limited.
“I came out of retirement for this,” said Jeff Hoffman, GGL Chairman of the Board. “Because this isn’t just about gaming—it’s about access. GGL has the power to connect cultures, build international bridges, uplift underserved communities and close age gaps. And it’s not just meaningful—it’s good business. We’re building a platform that can monetize at scale while making a positive impact. That’s rare, and that’s why I’m all in.”
Sparks adds, “The Global Gaming League is positioned to make gaming a household name in the same manner that the WWE did with wrestling and the UFC did with mixed martial arts, by systemizing and democratizing an industry that already exists with billions of users and hundreds of billions already being generated. Get familiar with the Global Gaming League.”
About Global Gaming League:
GGL is a new kind of league—where gaming, culture, music, sports, fashion, and reality TV collide. With celebrity-led teams, live competitions, global fan engagement, and next-gen media experiences, GGL is building the first entertainment system for the world’s largest and most engaged audience.

FRVR, a global web-based game distribution company providing instant access to thousands of games, has today announced a collaboration with k-ID, a company committed to protecting and empowering kids and teens through age-appropriate online experiences. The partnership will see k-ID’s first-of-its-kind global compliance engine integrated into one of FRVR’s most popular online games, Krunker.
Acquired by FRVR in 2022, Krunker is a free-to-play first person shooter with a large, engaged community of 3 million monthly active players. The integration of k-ID’s safety and privacy compliance technology ensures rigorous online protection for Krunker’s younger players, creating a blueprint for other web-based games and platforms to follow.
k-ID utilizes an age gate as the first line of defense in age verification, providing a simple and intuitive way for users to declare their age. It also offers an optimized, low-friction Verifiable Parental Consent (VPC) flow, which obtains and manages parental consent in a way that meets global regulatory requirements and adapts based on the user’s location. Together, these solutions ensure that every player on Krunker receives an age-appropriate experience while gaming.
Web-based gaming experienced an initial peak in the mid-2000s with games made in Flash. Driven by technological and legislative advances, web games made primarily with HTML5 are projected to become an $8 billion market in 2025. At the same time, laws such as the UK’s Online Safety Act and the EU’s Digital Services Act aim to create safer digital spaces for children. With its collaboration with k-ID, FRVR doubles down on its commitment to foster a better environment for kids and teens online — both on their platform and the wider web.
Quentin Staes-Polet, CEO of FRVR, said:
“As the web gaming sector continues to grow, FRVR is dedicated to ensuring young players have secure spaces to have fun and express themselves online. We’re thrilled to collaborate with k-ID, who bring the best in class tools we need to provide a safer and more responsible experience in Krunker.”
Kieran Donovan, Co-founder & CEO of k-ID, said:
“We are thrilled to help empower and protect the large, engaged community in Krunker. At our core, we’re driven by a mission to deliver empowering, safe experiences that resonate deeply with kids, teens, and everyone. What I love most about Krunker is its accessibility—it’s easy to pick up and naturally creates entertainment and connection between players.”
This fresh collaboration follows recent successes for both companies, with FRVR securing $13.2 million towards its AI engine, Upit, and k-ID being named one of the 2025 AI Gamechangers.
