Platform and aggregator Groove will be back at iGB Live! on 16-19 July 2024 at the RAI Amsterdam, where the company is looking to connect with over 10,000 iGaming and Affiliate pioneers, converse with experts in developing successful strategies for entering new markets, and find the right relationships. EGR-shortlisted Groove join over 250 exhibitors following the relaunch of their brand at the show last year.

Located at Stand 12-K22, Groove will be exhibiting with a fresh, modern and vibrant stand that drives interpretation of their new brand to greater heights, after its relaunch at iGB Live 2023. Groove was shortlisted in the EGR B2B Awards category for ‘Aggregator of the Year’ and the company’s technology introductions since last year’s show have been impressive.

The Amsterdam event supports the entire igaming ecosystem by helping businesses to navigate the ever-changing igaming landscape, providing networking opportunities, showcasing cutting-edge innovations and sharing crucial market knowledge that will empower igaming businesses to thrive in a dynamic and competitive industry.

Groove has been staying close to their vision of establishing a new standard of service by bringing the joy and excitement of iGaming to operators through a multitude of initiatives during 2024 culminating in the introduction of another round of new technology in the aggregator’s Back-Office that drives additional accessibility and performance.

The company has also just launched their Ultimate Guide to iGaming Aggregation, which is available on the new website at groovetech.com

Adding over 100 new games per month the aggregator has been busy signing new game providers including broadening the game portfolio available with a single-API integration to over 15,000 games, from a roster of more than 100 top content partners. Push-API was developed and introduced during the year so that all game information is now included automatically in the API with no need for operators to take information manually from Groove’s market-leading Back-Office.

Close to 20 new operators were on-boarded in the early part of the year as part of the Groove collaboration with tier-1 operators and beyond to deliver high performance and sustainable revenue around slots, online casino and live casino, poker and table games, as well as crash games. The company has also significantly expanded their lottery offerings which resulted in a partnership with leading lottery provider Sisal.

Groove’s award-winning technology development continued unabated in order to fulfil operator needs and introduced a raft of new technical tools including their data-driven flagship Recommender tool that suggests the best and most relevant content for operators by market.

Since last year’s iGB, Groove is now supporting sweepstakes casinos.

Yahale Meltzer, COO and co-founder at Groove, said: “We just got back from SiGMA Americas and our plans for LatAm expansion and taking shape nicely. iGB Live is a strategic imperative for us and we look forward to showcasing our new technology which keeps Groove at the cutting-edge of the iGaming industry backed by a service ethic that we continue to deepen across all of our market segments.”

Introduction to the New Interactive Features
Slotsjudge’s streamers, Paul and Krista, have recently implemented a number of new interactive feature aimed at diversifying viewer experience and even making viewers participate in the gaming process first-hand. What exactly will these innovations bring to the table?

Engaging Viewers with “Viewergames”
The very first feature, Viewergames, is designed to ensure viewer participation throughout the stream. Paul and Krista choose five random viewers to pick a game to play and try out the bought bonuses in each. At the end of each round, the participant with the lowest bonus amount leaves the game. The last standing viewer at the end of all games then receives the main prize.

Exciting “Bonus Hunt” Experience
Viewer participation is further encouraged in the Bonus Hunt feature on stream. Streamers play a predefined number of games and accumulate bonuses in the process. In the gaming process, the accumulated bonuses are not opened immediately. Instead, streamers keep them a mystery until the end.

Will the bonus hunt end in profit? Viewers can make their guesses by participating in a vote on Discord, and once the bonuses are revealed, Paul and Krista choose five viewers who guessed correctly and reward them with special prizes.

Interactive Giveaways for 100x Wins
Whenever a 100x win is hit during the stream, it triggers a special Giveaway, in which five viewers are chosen randomly to receive a prize. If a 100x win occurs more than once, an increased number of players enter a wheel, which then selects five winners. There can be multiple entries per viewer, which greatly increases their winning chances.

Slotsjudge’s Commitment to Interactive Entertainment
The introduction of the new interactive games for Paul and Krista’s streams has become a major boost for viewer engagement in the entertainment content provided on the platform. Slotsjudge is dedicated to bringing innovation into every aspect of the iGaming sector, refreshing viewer experience and making it more rewarding than ever.

Conclusion: Enhancing Viewer Engagement
Viewergames, Bonus Hunt, and Giveaways for 100x Wins will have a number of undeniable advantages. Most and foremost, they will greatly increase viewer engagement thanks to active viewer participation. Besides, they will build a sense of community among viewers, encouraging them to come back for more rewards and experience their favorite games anew.

Finally, such an engagement rate is based on the uniqueness of each feature, which makes every stream memorable for viewers and thus — skyrockets the visibility of such content among advertisers and sponsors. Slotsjudge is looking forward to reaping the fruit of the new stream games and seeing their positive impact on the iGaming community and the industry as a whole.
