One-to-one CRM approach to benefit retention in CEE market     

Enteractive, the leader in player reactivation and retention, has announced the launch of their (Re)Activation Cloud™ plug-and-play platform for the fast-growing Romanian market, boosting conversions of lapsed or dormant players for operators in the country.  iGaming brands will benefit from Enteractive’s personalised approach to player engagement, helping to activate NRCs to NDCs, and to revive player accounts.

Enteractive started providing (Re)Activation Cloud solutions in this market in April 2020, and the company has found players to be open and receptive to one-to-one conversations.

There are already some fantastic stats pointing towards the potential value in the country’s iGaming sector, and of the player conversations conducted by Enteractive on behalf of clients, around 75% of those contacted were interested to chat, with just 1% opting out from further calls.

Responsible Gambling is also key to the Romanian market, and keeping players safe and engaged means strong health prospects for the future of the region’s iGaming market. Enteractive agents are trained in handling responsible gambling issues, and every call includes checks on player wellness in terms of their gambling experience and possible risks.

In initial calls the company found that just 1% of Romanian players contacted were concerned about gambling problems. Enteractive is the leading engagement and retention provider for the iGaming sector, connecting with players for one-to-one conversations through (Re)activation Cloud. Enteractive thereby plays an important role as a ‘first responder’ when it comes to operators’ Responsible Gambling efforts.

Bartek Michalek, Enteractive’s country manager for Romania, commented, “Our teams love working on the Romania market, reporting both high answering rates, reaching 50%, and long conversation duration that is 38% higher than average.  We speak to around 300 players each day and find them keen to listen as well as chat with us. The feedback we’ve had shows that players are more interested in no-nonsense, uncomplicated bonuses than convoluted offers which helps us achieve an impressive conversion rate!”

As leading iGaming brands eagerly enter this growing CEE market, Enteractive’s unique CRM platform offers a fresh approach to player reactivation and retention, helping to boost operators’ bottom line with oft-forgotten churned players. (Re)Activation Cloud™ is driven by human interaction and personalised conversations on behalf of brands, bringing empathy and a human touch to an industry dense with automated impersonal services.

Mikael Hansson, Enteractive founder and CEO, said: “Romania is a world of opportunity for our clients and the iGaming sector in general.  We’re excited to grow our team for this region, and results seen so far indicate that this Central European region will be a key destination for iGaming brands.”

The second reading of the Ukrainian gambling bill has been postponed again.

On June 19, according to the agenda of the Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian MPs were to begin consideration in the second reading of the bill “On state regulation of activities related to the organization and conduct of gambling.”

However, the plenary session ended and the bill on legalisation of gambling has not been considered.

It was planned that the consideration of the draft law №2285-D would begin on June 18, but later the date was postponed to June 19. However, MPs did not even start the reading of the bill due to lack of time.

Most likely, the second reading of the bill on the legalisation of gambling will be postponed to the next plenary week, which, according to the calendar of parliamentary sessions, should begin on June 30.
