The company lifted the lid on its groundbreaking new AI solution at ICE London and will be on hand to explain its benefits to attendees in Rio.

The opening of the Brazil office and appointment of Camargo is the latest stage in Xtremepush’s growth plan in LatAm following deals over the past few months with casino platform and game developer Vibra Gaming, Brazilian sportsbooks Playr.Bet and Betsul and Arena Esportiva.

Tommy Kearns, CEO of Xtremepush, said: “Brazil and the wider LatAm region is a key strategic focus for Xtremepush in 2024, so it’s incredibly exciting to be opening our first office in São Paulo.

“There are huge opportunities in Brazil, and we already have a solid footprint there, but we are looking to grow quickly and I’m delighted to welcome Álvaro to the Xtremepush family.

“We’ve known him for a long time and he has a really deep understanding of Brazilian marketing and CRM in general. Xtremepush offers a unique combination of CRM, gamification and loyalty marketing powered by AI, so I’m sure he will be a fantastic addition.”

“As we’ve seen in the US over the past few years, acquisition is the initial battle but to win the war you need retention and Xtremepush’s platform is the perfect fit for the Brazilian market.

Quick Custom Intelligence (QCI), a leading provider of data-driven casino intelligence and player engagement platforms, announced that Dania Beach Casino is continuing to benefit from its deployment of the QCI Nimble platform. While the property currently focuses on the QCI Host and QCI Marketing modules, it has expressed enthusiasm about the capabilities of the new AGI56 release and its impact on future customer engagement strategies.

Josh Crowder, Director of Marketing at Dania Beach Casino, said: “QCI is the tool that we use to connect to our players, enabled with deep data that has guided us in critical business initiatives. AGI56 shows QCI’s commitment to their core product. They have completely refreshed the technology stack, added deeper tooling for precise marketing initiatives, and Chatalytics.com in AGI56 provides tooling that enables us to build AI-managed data interactions.”

AGI56 represents the most ambitious release in QCI’s history, with the platform undergoing a full refresh of its technology stack, improved integration of advanced analytics, and the introduction of generative AI-driven tooling through Chatalytics.com. This evolution ensures that casinos can not only continue to run data-driven marketing campaigns and player development initiatives but also begin to take advantage of next-generation artificial intelligence to manage complex customer data interactions.

Andrew Cardno, Chief Technology Officer of QCI, said: “We have invested eight figures of R&D into AGI56, transforming it into a platform that not only supports today’s casino marketing and host teams but can also grow across the entire spectrum of customer engagement. Our commitment has been to deliver a technology stack that empowers operators like Dania Beach to achieve precise, data-driven outcomes while building a scalable foundation for the future of AI-enabled player interaction.”

QCI Nimble, the solution deployed by Dania Beach Casino, is designed specifically for properties with under 1000 slot machines. It provides the full capabilities of QCI’s enterprise platform in a form factor that is right-sized for smaller operations. With the release of AGI56, Nimble customers gain access to many of the same advanced tools as larger properties, including refined marketing segmentation, deeper player development capabilities, and AI-powered analytics that bring enterprise-grade insight to local and regional markets.

QCI’s platform is currently deployed in more than 350 casinos worldwide, supporting properties that collectively manage over 42 billion dollars in annual gross gaming revenue.
