Neccton’s mentor protecting Ontario players

 

Leading Neccton customer already live with Responsible Gambling software, more coming online in key market soon

A growing number of players in Canada’s number one online gambling market, Ontario, are now protected by Neccton’s mentor software after a key operator went live in the province – and more Neccton customers are expected to follow.

SkillOnNet went live to players with key brands PlayOJO, SpinGenie and SlotsMagic on June 8th, aiming to make a splash with new customers in the booming gaming market.

April 2022 saw Ontario open its doors to international operators. Hopes are high for the market potential, with 14.5 million occupants potentially waiting to play. Analysts expect the market to grow to $1bn in revenue in the next two years.

SkillOnNet already holds licences in major European jurisdictions, including the UK, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Malta, as well as Latin American markets like Mexico.

The move into Ontario underlines SkillOnNet’s commitment to working in key newly regulated markets and ensuring compliance with local laws, while providing an unparalleled online gaming experience. With the PlayOJO brand’s ethos as the ‘fairest’ online casino, they are the ideal partners for Neccton, who pride themselves on putting player protection front and centre.

SkillOnNet’s Safe Mate program is powered by Neccton’s mentor software. Safe Mate allows customers to track how much money they have deposited, how much money has been wagered and how much time has been spent on the site over the last six months. It also acts as a Safer Gambling assistant for each player that visits the site and gives them a health score and friendly nod when their habits are changing.

In addition, Safe Mate allows players to compare what they think they have spent with what they have actually spent. And if a player is considered at risk, they are given personal feedback and tailored communications to help prevent problem gambling from occurring.

“We started our research in gambling over 15 years ago and have published multiple academic studies in the area of player tracking and responsible gaming,” said Neccton director and head of development Dr Michael Auer. “We have shown that players who gamble responsibly are more loyal, and their customer lifetime is significantly longer.

“It is our aim to protect players to the best possible extent everywhere in the world, and working with well-established internationally-respected companies like SkillOnNet and their brands is helping us to do exactly that.”

Anastasios Vasios, Director of New Regulated Markets Compliance at SkillOnNet, said his company takes its obligations towards responsible gaming extremely seriously. “Player protection is the cornerstone of Ontario’s new online gaming market, and it’s also a crucial issue for SkillOnNet in all jurisdictions we operate in. Neccton’s software not only helps us comply with regulations, but it helps us meet our own extremely high standards of responsible gaming.”

mentor also includes modules for Fraud, AML and aCRM so Neccton’s customers can solve many issues with a single supplier.

PointsBet Canada Renews The Sweep 16 Bracket Challenge with Spotlight Sports Group Ahead of Second Annual PointsBet Invitational Curling Tournament

Published

on

 

Spotlight Sports Group (SSG), a world-leading technology, content and media company specializing in sports betting and fantasy sports, announced that it has built a fully-managed bracket challenge for PointsBet Canada to support its second annual curling tournament.

This partnership follows a successful execution of The Sweep 16 bracket challenge last year, which was well received and saw thousands of participants. This year’s platform has been updated to include new features such as allowing users to create private groups for additional play and enjoyment. This year’s bracket challenge also debuts one-click buttons that promote community connectivity and allow users to share their bracket on any social media platform.

The bracket challenge is hosted on a stand-alone platform and was built with a direct connection to the PointsBet Canada sportsbook so bracket challenge participants can easily place bets on the PointsBet Invitational as well as other sports.

Like last year, participants are competing for a $1 million grand prize, should they create a perfect bracket. The bracket challenge provides a one-stop-shop connection to the men’s and women’s tournaments via an up-to-the-minute tournament tracker that showcases match results in real time.

Commenting on the continued partnership, the US B2B Partnerships Senior Vice-President for Spotlight Sports Group, Rick Wolf, said: “When you have great success in a collaboration like we did last year, it was obvious to expand with PointsBet Canada. The SSG SaaS Games Engine is unique in its ability to create this custom solution with the design and direction of PointsBet’s team. The user experience is paramount and that is why we ensure participants can follow the tournament entirely on the platform and place bets with ease.”

The Chief Commercial Officer for PointsBet Canada, Nic Sulsky, added: “Last year’s inaugural PointsBet Invitational was a resounding success on the ice and The Sweep 16 bracket challenge brought the audience engagement to a new level. The top-notch SSG team manages everything from beginning to end, which allows us to focus on delivering the audience. Our combined success last year meant we could create a platform that mirrored our branding and provided a superior user experience again this year.”

The PointsBet Invitational will run from September 27 through October 1 at the Sixteen Mile Sports Complex in Oakville, Ontario. The Sweep 16 bracket challenge can be filled out at any point before the tournament begins.
