All customer relationship management (CRM) divisions sometimes reach a dead end of options.

Sent emails? Tick. Sent short messages? Tick. Sent push notifications to mobile apps? Tick. Sent social media posts? Tick. Sent pop ups to website visitors? Tick.

Well, all done. What to do next?

This is where gamification comes in handy. Gamification kills the CRM cul de sac.

How Exactly Can Gamification Contribute to CRM?

Gamification can be the steroid that boosts the efficiency, productivity and the conversion rate of any CRM. It offers multiple attractive options to ensure customer engagement.

Take for instance Smartico Gamification tool. It functions as an add-on over its CRM platform. Practically, it is a fountain of creative and surefire marketing campaigns.

To know what gamification can contribute to a CRM, one needs to understand just one or two features of gamification. In the case of Smartico Gamification tool, let’s focus on such a feature, namely Smartico Tournaments.

Before going to the operational part, here is a quick overview of Tournaments.

Tournaments, in a Nutshell

Smartico Tournaments basically makes customer activity a competition.  Two or more players can compete against each other for the activities they do on a betting platform, for instance. The activities can be virtually anything: just logging in, actual betting, bets or amount won, and so on. It is up to the CRM operator to decide on.

Smartico Tournaments offers a bunch of options to the operator to create a tournament for the customers. It automatically tracks customer’s activity on the betting platform and compiles a leader board on the basis of points won by each customer.

The best thing about Smartico Tournaments is its near plug-and-play ease of use. It does not require elaborate software installing. It neither necessitates any tweaks to the existing system infrastructure. It mostly works as an extension of the existing platform.

How Can a CRM Operator Benefit from Tournaments

Tournaments help customer engagement in multiple ways. The following example is kind of self-illuminating.

Consider the case of simple tournament. Let it be based on the players’ number of betting wins. That is, the tournament is based on the number of wins for a player in a particular time frame. The time frame can be set for one hour, a single day, or specific dates.

The CRM operator can announce the tournament through multiple channels to entice the potential punters. The operator can decide on which type of users are eligible for participation, for example, VIP customers or punters in a particular game of football.

Once the eligibility rules, time frame and the type of customer activity are set, Smartico Tournaments engine will swing into action. It automatically tracks the customer activity within the given conditions and rules and compiles the points for each participant. A leader board will be displayed to the players, causing much enthusiasm and interest among them.

In this tournament, the player who has won the most bets on the platform during the time frame will emerge victorious.

This is just an example of a tournament. As you can imagine, tournaments can be set in any number of ways.

For example, a tournament based on the amount of money wagered during a particular period too can be conducted. Here, the player who wagers the maximum amount in that time frame will be the winner.

Here are some of sport betting tournaments a CRM operator can conduct to good effect:

  • Players who made or won most bets on a single team, such as Liverpool or Barcelona
  • Players who made or won most bets on a single real-life tournament, such as Euro Cup or Copa America
  • Players who punt on or above a certain odds

 

A leader board with bonus points will act as a good discussion starter among players and subject of social media posts.

So, the benefits of tournaments should now be obvious. The major benefits can be summarized as below:

  • Encourage interaction among players and build a sense of community
  • Provide value-addition by allowing the players to compete among themselves
  • Build brand loyalty among players by offering them points and bonuses

What the Players Gain from Tournaments?

Surely they gain better enjoyment out of tournaments. And there is always a feel good factor, especially who do well in the tournament.

As for any rewards, it’s up to the operator to decide on this after careful consideration of the cost-benefit scenario. The Smartico tool offers three options:

  1. The players win Points, which is part of Smartico Gamification tool and allows players to buy bonuses and other items from the Gamification Shop.
  2. The players win bonuses directly from the operator. For this, the Gamification tool requires API access to the platform’s bonus system.
  3. The players win gifts directly from the operator. The gifts can be anything that the operator deems fit, such as an iPhone or a PS5.

To sum up, Smartico Tournaments is a hassle-free tool to enhance customer engagement and activities. With tournaments, you can be sure of one thing: the CRM division will not hit a dead end.

In-demand content provider extends reach into largest iGaming market in the world with its full suite of games made available via iLottery aggregation platform

Gaming Corps, a publicly-listed game studio based in Sweden renowned for creating industry-leading games, has made its debut in the US market through a breakthrough agreement with leading lottery provider, EQL Games.

The distribution agreement will see Gaming Corps’ full suite of games made available to EQL Games’ powerful iLottery Aggregation Platform, developed to provide lottery operators across America with direct access to a portfolio of proprietary and third-party games.

Following the integration, EQL Games’ lottery operator partners will be offered proven Slots, Table Games, Multiplier Games, Mine Games and Plinko Games, as well as titles under Gaming Corps’ innovative and trademarked Smash4Cashℱ series.

The deal and integration come at a time of growing demand among online lottery operators in the US for non-traditional content, a format that Gaming Corps has excelled in, especially with its Smash4Cashℱ games, which have been a hit with players in global markets.

EQL’s aggregation platform has been developed to allow online lottery operators to quickly and easily access content from multiple game studios simultaneously through one integration and one commercial agreement.

Its iLottery Aggregation platform simplifies the process of adding new games to an online lottery brand across regulated states. In addition to the third-party content provided via its aggregator platform, EQL Games has a portfolio of in-house titles.

This includes games produced under licence with Team USA which were rolled out by several state lotteries for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris this year, with new titles being planned ahead of the Winter Games in Milan (2026) and the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles (2028).

Juha Kauppinen, CEO of Gaming Corps, said: “The USA has always been somewhat of the holy grail for game developers like us, which has been further emphasised as markets in several states have become regulated. The potential in the American market is enormous, and the impact for us is a bit difficult to assess, but we have great hopes for the collaboration with EQL Games, which has an impressive platform towards U.S. lotteries.

“We believe it will have a significantly positive impact on our revenues. I would like to personally take the opportunity to thank EQL Games and Brad Cummings for the collaboration, and we are now working hard to complete the integration so that all our games will be offered to EQL’s customers via their platform.”

Brad Cummings, CEO of EQL Games, added: “Including Gaming Corps as a supplier to the EQL Games iLottery Aggregator is an exciting step forward in our mission to offer unique, high-quality content to state lotteries. Gaming Corps’ expertise in iGaming, along with their unique game portfolio, fits perfectly with our vision of enhancing the lottery experience through dynamic and engaging content.”
