How much do FTP games for sportsbooks tap into the buzz around sporting events for fans?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As we saw recently with all the attention paid to Super Bowl in the run-up to the game, people were heavily invested to the extent that even the half-time show became the subject of countless articles in the media and commentary on social channels. Naturally, predicting outcomes for teams and players is a major focus for sports fans worldwide and that is where free-to-play (FTP) games come in for sportsbooks by tapping into the sense of excitement. Combining the lure of free rewards and often big cash prizes with the promise of compelling sporting action definitely creates a perfect storm for marketeers. At Splash Tech, we have the technology and product to create tangible results on the back of pre-game noise, be it in the United States or anywhere else in the world, across all sports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In terms of technology, across UI\/UX, data and other areas, what refinements have you seen that have had a big impact in the way end users interact with FTP games?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the FTP vertical has certainly become sophisticated in terms of how slick and engaging games and products are when presented to the end user. The effectiveness of a modern FTP strategy rests on how segmentation is carried out. It is all about rewarding the right user at the right time with the right prize and this is the secret to success.<\/p>\n<p>If we look at dynamic segmentation, player experiences can be tailored to their progress within an operator\u2019s ecosystem. New customers encounter more compelling offers, incentivising initial deposits, while established players experience gamified reward systems, promoting and recognising continued engagement. All incentives are personalised based on player lifetime value, delivering appropriate rewards to each user instantly. By offering players pertinent, timely, and enjoyable games, providers of promotional solutions can significantly boost operator revenue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You recently struck a deal with Wildz Sports to roll out a series of Daily Predictor and Pick 6\u00a0games across a wide range of sports. How do you plan to keep these games fresh and interesting?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Localisation is very important when working with multi-regional partners. You can have the same game types running, but the content has to be tailored to user and regional preferences.\u00a0With the Wildz Sports deal, we are rolling out game experiences across football, ice hockey, cricket, rugby and all US sports. Naturally, you wouldn\u2019t expect a huge take-up for a cricket-based experience in the United States, but operators have found that it\u2019s a sport that is extremely popular with bettors in other geographies. As such, FTP can play a major role in acquisition and retention in countries and regions that love the sport.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finally, what is the future direction of FTP games? How can they evolve to become even more seamless and attractive as both acquisition and retention tools?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FTP can and should start at the top of the funnel and follow a user all the way through their journey with a sportsbook or casino. With the data we now have at our disposal, we can trigger real-time game experiences tailored to user preferences, optimised to enhance their loyalty with a brand.\u00a0Given the diverse preferences of players, a one-size-fits-all approach simply won&#8217;t cut it in what is an extremely competitive market. Highly targeted and relevant engagement is crucial for capturing and retaining player attention and neglecting the tools that enable this can be a costly mistake.<\/p>\n<\/div><p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/europeangaming.eu\/portal\/latest-news\/2025\/02\/10\/175968\/splash-tech-how-operators-can-tap-into-the-hype\/\">Splash Tech: How operators can tap into the hype<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/europeangaming.eu\/portal\">European Gaming Industry News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reading Time:   3 minutes&nbsp;<br \/>\nAdam Wilson, CEO at Splash Tech, looks at how operators can best utilise free-to-play (FTP) solutions to drive engagement with their customers.<br \/>\nIt is often said that one of the main attractions of sport is the anticipati&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"iawp_total_views":7,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[180],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-interviews"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Splash Tech: How operators can tap into the hype - Events by HIPTHER<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/hipther.com\/events\/splash-tech-how-operators-can-tap-into-the-hype\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Splash Tech: How operators can tap into the hype - Events by HIPTHER\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Reading Time:  3 minutes&nbsp; Adam Wilson, CEO at Splash Tech, looks at how operators can best utilise free-to-play (FTP) solutions to drive engagement with their customers.
