LeoVegas completes migration of 12 brands to create a better customer experience

LeoVegas operates several brands in the UK under the collective name of Rocket X. During the first quarter of 2020 these brands, including 21.co.uk, Bet UK and Pink Casino among others, were migrated to LeoVegas’ proprietary technical platform. As a result, all LeoVega’s brands in the UK are now run on the group’s technology platform. This creates a more focused and efficient business, which fully utilizes the Group’s economies of scale in technology, product and organization. The migration contributes to a better customer experience in the form of greatly expanded game offering, payment options and faster functionality.
ADVANTAGE OF PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
The UK market for online gaming has changed dramatically in recent years, such as with respect to stricter requirements in compliance and higher gambling taxes. In parallel with this, since acquiring the assets of IPS (today referred to as Rocket X), LeoVegas has conducted its operations in the UK using a third-party platform solution. The switch from a third-party provider means that the Group now has full control over all technology, and it reduces the complexity of daily operations. The migration is contributing to a significantly expanded game offering, where LeoVegas’ exclusive titles as well as games developed by third parties are accessible. The payment options and other functionality have also been expanded.
Owning and having control of the technology is a strong competitive advantage that eliminates the need for any redundant development that is needed for multiple platforms at the same time that it provides greater speed and flexibility in connection with rapidly changing compliance requirements.
“This is a milestone for the entire Group, but above all for our technology organisation and all of our employees who work in the UK market,” comments Gustaf Hagman, Group CEO. “I am incredibly impressed by how the migration was carried out in a short time and during a period and situation in which our people are working from home. It shows that our culture of empowered and determined employees is a competitive advantage. The migration to our own platform makes us even more scalable, and our brands in the UK will now be able to benefit from all of the innovation that is developed on our platform. Such an example is our recommendation engine, which is a success for the LeoVegas brand. Our customers in the UK will have a better customer experience with a wider range of games, many more payment options and generally a faster site and app. We have high aspirations for our brands in the UK, and this migration is a great step for us in delivering according to our vision to be King of Casino in all our markets.”

Slotegrator Launches New Platform for Online Casino Operators

Slotegrator has announced the launch of a new platform that includes a wide range of functions for online casino and sportsbook operators. The product was released on May 16.
The technologies included in the modern microservice architecture of Slotegrator’s new platform have improved the product and provided the company’s customers with a higher level of service by optimising speed, security and stability. The project launch process for operators has been significantly accelerated — a typical launch will take no more than a few days, and the requests of end users, online casino players, will be implemented in the shortest possible time.
The new platform gives the operator more opportunities for integration with various systems, including game content developers, payment services and mobile applications. The user-friendly interface of the back office and intuitive dashboard make the onboarding process as comfortable as possible for operators. The adaptability of the back office for tablets and smartphones is provided for managing projects from anywhere in the world.
Slotegrator’s longstanding clients are already using the product. The features retained from the previous platform have been upgraded. For example, the bonus module has been improved in terms of UI — now it is much easier to create bonuses In addition to modules from the previous platform that were updated and transferred to the new model, the new platform has new tools and modules — in particular:
Casino Builder, which allows the client to make various changes to his gambling site using simple tools. From the back office, the operator can independently build a lobby and fully customise the frontend of his project, making it easier than ever to create its layout by choosing how to display providers, banners, etc. There is also a set of ready-made casino front-end presets for deploying the project in 3 clicks.
The business intelligence (BI) module, which gives the operator access to the site’s analytics, such as key markers like GGR, unique players, marginal profit, and number of active users for a selected period of time — per day, week, month, or year. By comparing performance over different periods and analysing the current situation, the operator can easily make the right strategic decisions and increase productivity. The module is constantly being developed, expanded, and supplemented, providing more and more opportunities for the most effective project management.
A separate KYC module, which helps make the player verification process smoother and more consistent.
The launch of the new platform is an important event for Slotegrator. A number of additional key improvements are planned in the coming months after the launch, which will facilitate the work of all operators. The system is unified — when a developer updates services, customers immediately get access to these updates — so, all operators use a single version of the product.
