United Remote take the Fast Track to player engagement
Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Rapidly-growing iGaming aggregator, United Remote, has selected Fast Track CRM (FT CRM) to drive player engagement across the platform.

United Remote is the aggregator of choice for a number of top-flight operators, with the company focus on ensuring that United Remote’s platform has content available for all strategic jurisdictions for operators seeking to expand their global footprint. With a new service model and rapid on-boarding, United Remote is proving to be instilling better technology, processes and disciplines while meeting the rigorous standards of operators seeking to deliver across multiple jurisdictions.

United Remote has gone through an intensive period of restructuring since industry-veteran Jeremy Fall was appointed CEO, and has undergone a period of unprecedented growth since Fall took the reins. United Remote’s resurgence under Fall has been amplified by the hiring of a crack team to push the iGaming platform’s performance and to focus on developing revenue from the company’s impressive base of assets.

Apart from putting a new management team in place, Fall has been instrumental in changing the service ethic at the company, bringing a fresh, new approach that puts customer experience and the customer journey at the centre of all United Remote’s activities. This has resulted in adapting the agreements the company previously had put in place, de-risking the entire enterprise, and focusing very particularly on customer protection, hence the choice to go with Fast Track CRM. United Remote will roll out FT CRM across their portfolio over the coming twelve months.

The tie-in with FT CRM is part of the on-going process to embrace innovation to deliver a sharper response and United Remote took the plunge on the software provider to streamline new integrations and provide operators more profitable real-time data. This is all part of upping United Remote’s service to the iGaming industry and ensuring that the B2B-channel is given priority.

FT CRM is the first CRM platform built specifically for iGaming and allows operators to automate real-time engagements with their players. The platform was first launched at ICE 2019 and has seen a high level of interest from operators globally over the last year.

Simon Lidzén, co-founder and CEO of FAST TRACK, said: “We are very excited to work with United Remote. They are fast-growing and ambitious, with some interesting ideas for player engagement. The flexibility that we are able to offer with FT CRM makes it a very good fit for a business with creative ideas. We are looking forward to a great long term partnership”.

Jeremy Fall, CEO of United Remote said: “We believe that in order to succeed in the future we need the right technology that enhances service and value for our customers. FT CRM is the solution we have been looking for to manage our player engagement. The platform’s impressive real-time capabilities are just what we need to support our player retention strategies as we continue to grow.”

Dutch Mental Health Care Calls for Total Ban on Online Gambling Advertising

The Dutch mental health service is calling for a total ban on online gambling advertisements in the Netherlands.

Although a ban on untargeted gambling advertisements and a ban on the use of role models has been in effect since 2023, a recent research by KRO-NCRV’s Pointer shows that (illegal) gambling companies and sports tipster platforms are still enticing young people via social media such as TikTok and Snapchat.

By using influencers and terms like “free money”, they try to attract a young audience and thus lower the threshold to start gambling. This concerns both legal online casinos and online casinos that do not have a license in the Netherlands. The Gaming Authority has started an investigation based on Pointer’s findings.

Pointer’s research shows that part of the gambling industry deliberately targets young people who are often susceptible to promises such as “fast money” and the influence of role models. Ruth Peetoom, chair of the Dutch mental health service, compares this approach to that of the tobacco industry, where similar marketing strategies were used to get young people to smoke.

Despite the existing advertising ban, gambling companies continue to explore the boundaries of the law, according to Peetoom. The Dutch mental health and addiction care associations in the Netherlands therefore push for a total ban on online gambling advertising and stricter rules for the duty of care of gambling providers.

With the call for a total ban, the Dutch mental health care sector hopes to prevent further normalisation of gambling behaviour among young people and to protect them from the temptation and consequences of online gambling.

  • the number of online slots sessions lasting longer than an hour increased by 9 percent YoY to 10 million. The average session length remained at 17 minutes. Approximately 6.1 percent of all sessions lasted more than one hour compared to 6.6 percent in Q2 the previous year.
