Soft2Bet, the leading B2B casino and sportsbook platform provider, showcased its trailblazing Motivational Engineering Gaming Application (MEGA) at the Forbes Future of Fintech Summit in Cyprus on December 7-8. The summit served as a pivotal platform for Soft2Bet to highlight the convergence of iGaming and Fintech, demonstrating transformative strategies set to redefine user experiences across industries.

Uri Poliavich, Soft2Bet’s founder and CEO, headlined a fireside chat alongside Forbes fintech writer Meaghan Johnson. They discussed the potential of Soft2Bet’s MEGA and how it could revolutionise engagement in iGaming, as well as the Fintech and financial services space.

Poliavich emphasised the striking parallels between personalized features in iGaming and Fintech, advocating for seamless integration of engaging elements. “Whether in iGaming or Fintech, mobile apps have the same personalization features. MEGA aims to capture more of users’ screen time, ensuring an engaging and personalized experience,” he explained.

Forbes’s Johnson echoed this sentiment, highlighting the untapped potential for fintech to adopt similarly engaging and interactive elements. “Quite frankly, we [the fintech and digital banking industry] do not do gamification well. There are few and far examples of who actually has launched successful gamification, whether it is for sales of education. It has been interesting to hear Uri’s insights on how and why Soft2Bet can help fintechs elevate their gamification,” Johnson said.

Additionally, during a panel discussion titled “The Future of Fintech in the Game Industry,” Gilad Naim, COO of Soft2Bet, underscored the crucial role of Fintech in gaming interactions. Naim emphasised the significance of streamlined KYC processes and highlighted Soft2Bet’s MEGA innovations as an additional layer of entertainment for players.

Naim explained, “With Motivational Engineering, we have created an additional layer of entertainment for players. The increases in engagement, revenues, and deposits are proof that players will engage if you provide them with the products.”

Soft2Bet’s strategic outlook involves leveraging MEGA to seamlessly integrate gamification strategies into the fintech realm. The company plans to launch a gamified wallet, aiming to capture more user screentime and attention.

Soft2Bet’s participation at the Forbes Future of Fintech Summit signifies its commitment to spearheading transformative experiences in both iGaming and fintech, setting new benchmarks for engagement and innovation. This event was truly an exciting moment for the tech community in Cyprus.

Flexion Reports Revenue Increase of 9% for 2024

Flexion, the games marketing company, has announced that its revenue grew 9% to year-end December 2024. The growth is attributed to the Company’s success in the alternative app store market.

Since its IPO in 2018, the company has built a well-positioned games marketing business around the alternative stores and grown annual revenue 50-fold to almost US$100 million. Its game portfolio represents several billion US$ in gaming IP for alternative market partners like Samsung, Amazon, Huawei, OneStore and Xiaomi.

“With the Digital Markets Act (DMA) coming into force in Europe and recent legal actions in the US, mobile game developers have felt a new-found freedom to explore their market options. We’ve already moved beyond the era when Google and Apple controlled everything. Developers are looking for alternatives that offer better margins, and additional audiences and revenue. Partnering with Flexion opens up a range of market channels with very little up-front investment,” said Jens Lauritzson, CEO of Flexion.

Flexion currently distributes more than 30 high-profile titles on the alternative stores. Top-tier games in the Flexion portfolio make on average US$ 10 million a year based on Q4 2024 run rate. That’s income in addition to their Google and Apple revenue with a business model that adds little to their costs.

In Q4 2024, Flexion-serviced games were, on average, generating 9.3% through the alternative stores of the revenue they made on Google Play. This is a significant boost for Flexion’s partners without major costs or effort.

“If you scale for the size of the stores, the alternatives massively out-performed Google in Q4 for our games. This is exciting both for Flexion’s business and for the future of the games industry as a whole. We’re seeing the beginning of a sea change in games marketing,” Jens said.

“We’re seeing just the beginnings of a major shift in how top-tier developers address their markets. Using Flexion to access alternative stores is an easy first step into the post- Google and Apple world. Many developers are already looking at their options beyond that and Flexion will be right there with them providing the technology and expertise they need to maximise the potential of their games,” Jens added.
