PlayStar partners with Intelitics ahead of New Jersey debut

Leading performance marketing and analytics provider will assist challenger brand with player acquisition in the Garden State and beyond
Intelitics, the leading performance marketing and analytics provider, has been selected by challenger online casino brand PlayStar to support its imminent launch in New Jersey which is set for the first quarter of next year.
The partnership will see Intelitics provide PlayStar with its scalable customer acquisition tracking platform, allowing the operator to make informed, data-driven campaign decisions across all user acquisition channels including affiliates and paid media.
Intelitics platform and product suite will also provide PlayStar’s affiliate and marketing partners with access to real-time data and analytics as well as flexible pixel tracking to allow them to effectively manage their own campaigns and monitor their effectiveness quickly and easily.
For PlayStar, the partnership with Intelitics forms part of its wider mission to provide US players with an online casino experience like no other. This will be achieved by focusing on three key areas – personalisation, engagement and customer experience.
The operator has developed a unique player engagement concept that remains a closely guarded secret, and Intelitics’ powerful platform and toolset will allow PlayStar to track the effectiveness of all engagement activity with new and existing players in real time.
For Intelitics, the deal with PlayStar is the latest in a string of partnerships with US operators including the likes of BetRushmore and reflects a wider market demand for quality insight on user-acquisition in what is the fastest-growing online casino market in the world.
Brands entering highly competitive markets like New Jersey, where player life-time values are high but so too are acquisition costs, need to have a marketing tech stack that empowers them with granular, optimizable data and that is exactly what Intelitics provides.
Allan Petrilli, VP of Sales and Growth at Intelitics said: “We’re very much looking forward to teaming up with PlayStar and to allow the operator to leverage our industry-leading user-acquisition platform to ensure it gets off to the best possible start in New Jersey.
“We’re particularly excited to be working with its incredible team which has a track record of high-level success in the igaming industry and look forward to being an integral part of its success story for years to come.”
Adam Noble, Chief Business Development Officer at PlayStar, added: “Intelitics’ technology fits with our goal of making our players feel like the star of the show from the first moment they engage with our brand, and it will also help us to drive tremendous efficiencies as we continue to scale.
“It has been a pleasure working with the Intelitics team as we prepare to launch PlayStar in New Jersey early next year and we look forward to a long and successful partnership between both businesses as we navigate the fast-paced, high-growth online casino market in the US.”

Major Casino Operators Ready to Invest if Georgia Lifts Casino Ban

As discussions about legalizing gambling in Georgia gain momentum, major casino operators like Wynn Resorts and Boyd Gaming are poised to lead the charge if the state changes its restrictive laws.
During a recent Georgia House study committee meeting, Christopher Gordon, president of Wynn Resorts’ development arm, expressed keen interest in building a multibillion-dollar casino should legal barriers be removed. Similarly, Boyd Gaming’s government affairs vice president Ryan Soultz highlighted Georgia’s market attractiveness.
Wynn’s model would be similar to its $2.6 billion Encore Boston Harbor, suggesting that a new Georgia casino could employ up to 4000 workers and contribute substantial gaming tax revenue.
Although specific locations have not been chosen, both companies have indicated they would need constitutional changes to move forward. Their willingness to invest heavily in the Peach State demonstrates a strong belief in the untapped potential of the state’s gambling market.
Such developments offer a compelling argument for lawmakers to consider gambling expansion, marking a shift toward economic incentives as a primary motivator for legislative change.
Should Georgia proceed with legalizing casino gambling, the legislative language will be crucial in shaping the industry’s landscape. Key proposals may include requiring casino companies to invest at least $1.2 billion per resort and generate a minimum number of jobs, often set at around 10,000 per license. This ensures that any developments bring tangible benefits to the local economy.
Additional legislative demands include rigorous background checks for key personnel, proven industry experience, and adherence to strict technical and financial standards. Only companies with substantial capital and robust infrastructure, like Wynn Resorts and Boyd Gaming, are likely to meet these stringent requirements.
