– Caesars will pay BetMakers: an initial upfront integration fee; ongoing minimum monthly fees; and a percentage of wagering turnover (net sales) from the Services.

– in Nevada, BetMakers will provide its Pari-mutuel services exclusively to Caesars until at least December 2022, which may be extended by 6 months if BetMakers is appointed to provide additional totalizator services for a specific location;

– the parties are targeting to submit a proof of concept for certification by mid-February 2022 and to launch the Services in all Caesars locations in Nevada by 30 June 2022; and

David Grolman – SVP Retail at Caesars Digital at Caesars Entertainment, Inc said:

“Caesars is delighted to have reached agreement for BetMakers to be our partner for tote services at our retail sportsbooks in Nevada [and Iowa]. We recently collaborated with BetMakers in providing the technical solution for the NTRA handicapping tournament hosted by Caesars at our Bally’s property in Las Vegas, which was executed seamlessly and delivered perfectly with some challenging timelines.”

BetMakers CEO Todd Buckingham said:

“We look forward to working with Caesars and assisting with the roll-out of BetMakers racing solution on their network of Pari Mutuel locations in [Iowa and] Nevada. BetMakers is especially excited to be in a position to advance the integration of its custom racing wagering technology in the U.S. We strongly believe that racing as a betting product in the U.S. will be a popular part of the total wagering offering, and Caesars are a great brand to be working with to extend this vision. As we have previously indicated to the market, BetMakers sees the U.S. as a sizeable market opportunity to expand our world-leading B2B racing technology products and services, including those that have been highlighted in this announcement. “

Increase Redirect Speed by 5 Times with Affilka New Feature

 

SOFTSWISS, a global tech company with over 15 years of experience in iGaming, introduces a new Geo-Distributed Redirect feature of Affilka by SOFTSWISS that helps operators improve engagement and conversion rates by reducing user redirect times.

The Geo-Distributed Redirect feature intelligently routes users to destination landing pages via regional clusters closest to their location. This geo-optimised infrastructure minimises redirect times, increasing successful website visits from referral links. The feature is designed for seamless scalability across multiple regions and enhances performance globally, wherever needed.

With the new feature, Affilka by SOFTSWISS reduced redirect duration by 2.5 to 5 times. At one of the regions, for example, extensive simulated tests showed a decrease in redirect times for users from 1.5 seconds to 300-500 milliseconds – this is one of the fastest responses available in the market. As a result, the feature implementation leads to a 3.5% to 7% growth in users successfully reaching casino sites. This increase in site traffic, in turn, directly contributes to more registrations and deposits.

The Geo-Distributed Redirect feature boosts conversions, accelerates redirects,  enhances fault tolerance and high availability, and improves service reliability for users globally. Even during unexpected challenges, the system dynamically reroutes traffic to alternative resources, ensuring a seamless experience.
