Fintech Companies Learn Gamification Techniques from iGaming Industry Leaders

Published

on

At the recent Forbes Future of Fintech Summit, industry leaders discussed emerging trends within the fintech sector, and how iGaming innovation can help disrupt financial services. One of the key takeaways was the potential for cross-industry application of gamification or motivational engineering techniques, a concept discussed in depth by Soft2Bet CEO Uri Poliavich at the Summit. His insights offered a broader perspective, suggesting that the principles of gamification, while prevalent in iGaming, have significant untapped potential in fintech, financial services, and beyond.

Gamification is often talked about in reference to social gaming, but it is also a key feature in real money gaming and is the feature that has enabled Soft2Bet to grow so strongly in the past year thanks to higher engagement and retention levels leading to sustaining revenue growth.

If the use of gamification in iGaming results in increased engagement, customer retention, and revenue, then applying similar gamification features in the fintech sector could yield comparable benefits. As Poliavich told Forbes fintech contributor Meaghan Johnson during the Summit, the success of Soft2Bet’s gamification technology, called Motivational Engineering Gaming Application (MEGA), serves as an example for the fintech sector to revolutionize its own engagement metrics by implementing gamification within its applications and products.

In Johnson’s article on the subject, Uri explained that, “Now fintech is about neo-banking, customization, and adapting to new technologies that are replacing retail branches. A generation of users prefers to gamify the experience, and this is where iGaming; specifically Soft2Bet, is at the junction of different niches.”

In addition to gamification, several strategies were discussed where fintech companies could learn from the iGaming industry, including localization, personalization, and the use of artificial intelligence to promote a relevant and engaging experience.

Soft2Bet COO Gilad Naim, when discussing the future of fintech, added to Uri’s comments, highlighting Soft2Bet’s MEGA innovations as an additional layer of entertainment for players that could seamlessly be integrated into the fintech space. The company even plans to launch a fintech product of its own, a gamified wallet, aiming to capture more user screentime and attention.

“With MEGA, we have created an additional layer of entertainment for players. The increases in engagement, revenues, and deposits are proof that players will engage if you provide them with the products,” Naim explained.

StatRankings Launches with Aim to Deliver Faster, Cleaner, and Smarter Sports Data Experience

Published

on

 

StatRankings, the ultimate data hub for sports fans, bettors, and fantasy players, announced the launch of its new website. Designed for speed, simplicity, and privacy, StatRankings helps users make smarter decisions by removing the clutter of outdated, stat sites. With more than 500 NFL data points organized on dedicated, ad-free pages, fans can instantly find the data they need to help set fantasy lineups or put together a betting slip without endless tables, pop-ups, or dashboards getting in the way.

“The sports stats industry has been stuck in the past for too long. These sites supposedly designed for bettors, fantasy players, and media are archaic, cumbersome, and confusing. We are committed to keeping the experience of finding stats as smooth and easy as possible, without all the noise. We want StatRankings to represent a new standard in how sports data can be delivered,” said Kevin Adams, Founder of StatRankings and fantasy sports industry veteran.

In addition to the launch of its website, StatRankings created a partnership with One Week Season, a premium DFS (Daily Fantasy Sports) subscription service that offers content, tools, and community. StatRankings data will be used across shows and articles found on One Week Season’s site for the duration of the NFL season.

“One Week Season is all about teaching people the â€how’ when it comes to becoming a better DFS player. StatRankings helps us in that mission by making sharper and deeper data more accessible and doing so in a manner that has previously been awkward and downright clumsy. By incorporating StatRankings into our content, we’re able to offer the most optimized insights to our users for their success,” said One Week Season’s CEO Jordan Tohline.
