GiG signs Swedish artist, Erik Segerstedt, for audio collaboration agreement with GiG Games

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG) has signed an agreement with Swedish artist Erik Segerstedt, who will deliver all audio for the upcoming game ‘Popstar’ which is being built by GiG’s in-house casino games developer, GiG Games.

‘Popstar’ is planned to be released in H1 2019 across all markets where GiG Games has a presence.

Mathias Larsson, Managing Director of GiG Games, says: “We are very excited about this agreement as it is the first time in our industry where a renowned artist has been involved from day one to compose audio for a game. Erik will create all audio for the game ‘Popstar’ which include computer sound generated effects, background music and much more. On top of that, GiG has taken a stake in the upcoming album from Erik which will be released simultaneously with the game launch.”

Artist, Erik Segerstedt, says: “I am very excited about this opportunity. I am used to co-working with record labels, however this is a totally new experience for me. Making sounds and effects for the game is very inspiring and I believe my expertise and experience as an artist will bring a new dimension to the game ‘Popstar’.”

Carlos Barth, CEO of Summit Music Management says: “This is the start of a revolution in the music industry where partners of an artist are going to be backing an album instead of a record company. These collaborations are going to support bringing new music to the audience as the business model is not limited as it was before. Now, we can be more flexible in finding ways to ensure both partners reach a successful result.’”

Popstar’ will be released in H1 2019 across all markets where GiG Games has a presence.

BetBright Partner with ConversionBet to Boost Personalisation Capabilities

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Irish based gaming operator, BetBright, has partnered with leading behavioural player acquisition experts, ConversionBet, in an effort to accelerate its personalisation capabilities to their proprietary Casino products.

The ConversionBet solution would be used to better understand and influence customers’ behaviour, which the company believes would help them stand out among their competitors.

“Understanding why someone visits our site in the first place is fundamental to delivering our differentiated product in the right way, the right person,” commented Ed Fogarty, Acquisition Manager of BetBright.

“The ConversionBet platform will allow us to communicate with our visitors prior to entering our registration process making for a smooth and highly personalised acquisition journey that will not only impact our conversion figures, but also lifetime value stats.”
“It’s vital that BetBright retain control of our milestone roadmap. To ensure this, a flexible and agile approach aids swift innovation allowing us move faster than our competition. ConversionBet provides this for us.”

BetBright would make use of the ConversionBet real-time technology, with its tools and functions integrated across its casino vertical in order to optimise its offerings. The behavioural-based model would allow the operator to offer the right message over the right channel at the right time, in order to improve their customers’ sign-up experience and thus, life-time value of each converted player.

ConversionBet has provided customisation and behavioural-driven products to a number of operators in the gaming industry, providing them with the experience to help BetBright excel and challenge other betting firms ‘in a crowded marketplace.’ Some of its other gaming partners include Betsson Group, Mr Green & the GIG Group.

“When operators like BetBright choose ConversionBet it demonstrates a shared mission to put an end to meaningless experiences,” stated Dan Morrison, Founder & CEO of ConversionBet. “We’re now in a partnership to help BetBright continue to be customer centric and be one of the most innovative operators in the gaming market.”

CEO MICHAEL HOLMBERG COMMENTS THE QUARTER

“I am happy to announce another quarter with strong growth and high profitability, driven by our clear focus on organic growth. Revenues for the third quarter amounted to EUR 7.0 million, an increase of 42 percent compared to the corresponding quarter last year. The organic revenue growth amounted to 29 percent. Growth compared to the second quarter was 16 percent. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 4.1 million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 59 percent.

The strong organic growth was achieved by our strategy to capitalise on our existing assets (which we refer to as Raketech Core). Over the past couple of years, we have invested in building a scalable business model. We have developed new technical platforms and data analysis tools, and we see it starting to pay off. With this foundation, we are not only well-equipped to grow our existing products in Raketech Core, but we are also in an excellent position to innovate and roll out new products from Raketech Lab (new innovative services built in-house or via partnerships).

We are well prepared for the upcoming regulation of the Swedish gaming market and I am confident that Raketech will maintain a strong position in Sweden when regulation comes into effect on 1 January 2019. We have re-negotiated terms with our partners and secured new partnerships with large gaming operators entering the Swedish market for the first time.

We are pleased with our achievements in the last quarter and have maintained the momentum into the fourth quarter with some exciting product launches and new partnerships. We are on course to meet our targets for the remainder of the year.”
