In-demand software supplier teams up with innovative UKGC-licensed casino platform to bring Swintt’s Elysium Studios titles to a wide new audience

Having celebrated its much-anticipated entry into the UK market earlier this year, hotshot software provider, Swintt, has announced this month that it will soon be increasing its online footprint in the country through an exciting new partnership with MrQ casino.

Established in 2018, MrQ prides itself on providing all of the fun of an online casino without any of the faff – a bold mission statement that’s backed up by the fact that the operator currently boasts over 900 mobile-optimised titles and features absolutely no wagering on any promotions.

The good news for players on the site is that following the casino’s partnership with Swintt, MrQ will now be able to expand this impressive game roster with the addition of Swintt’s state-of-the-art titles, including new releases in the popular Elysium Studios catalogue.

With the recent launch of Wild Wild North, MrQ is set to offer players an exhilarating new Viking experience. Looking ahead, anticipation is already building for the release of Pirate Pledge Hold & Win, slated for March. This upcoming title promises to be a hit, offering swashbuckling adventures on the high seas with its engaging Hold & Win mechanics.

With these exciting additions to the Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt line-up, the collaboration continues to deliver fresh, innovative content that both parties are eager to share with players.

Lars Kollind, Head of Business Development at Swintt, said: “Going live in the UK last year was obviously a huge deal for Swintt, so we’re excited to be able to build on the strong foundations we’ve already laid down by partnering with one of the market’s top online casino brands in MrQ.

“With its huge collection of games and wager-free promotions, the operator has established a loyal following among UK customers and adding exciting new releases from our Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt range to its platform will ensure that they reach more players than ever before.”

Daniel Pascoe, Senior Casino Manager at MrQ, said: “Given that MrQ is an online casino that’s all about fun, providing the best collection of games on the market has always been a top priority for us – and adding Swintt titles to our line-up will definitely enable us grow stronger in this respect.

“With exciting releases like Wild Wild North and I Hate Fairytales already proving popular in the UK market, we’re sure these games will go on to become hugely popular with our players and we can’t wait to see how they all perform.”

Movers and Shakers: How Micro-Influencers Are the Key to Capturing the Magic of Live Events

Powered by GameOn and supported by HIPTHER, this op-ed series delves into the key players, emerging technologies, and regulatory changes shaping the future of online gaming.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the scene, “Movers and Shakers” is your go-to source for staying ahead in the rapidly evolving iGaming landscape. 

 

The world of sports is littered with cliches, some true, some not so much. One enduring truth, however, is that few experiences can match the electrifying thrill of a live event.  Live sporting events bring a unique atmosphere and energy almost impossible to replicate. Being able to capture this has been something promoters and marketers have struggled with for decades, however, the rise of micro-influencers and content creators has changed this.

Micro-influencers and content creators, through the use of video content, can provide audiences with a direct connection to a live event, placing them right in the heart of the action with real-time reactions and experiences. These are particularly useful for sports betting events like horse racing, where the tension is high and the outcomes are unpredictable.

By having content creators attend live events, audiences can gain insight they might not otherwise be able to access. At the same time, brands can generate authentic exposure that can not be replicated through more traditional marketing techniques.

Unmatched Authenticity

With AI and curated content everywhere we look, sports fans and bettors are constantly searching for more authentic experiences. Influencers live-streaming at events provide the perfect solution to this issue.

Their followers are given the chance to experience an event in its most authentic way, with influencers able to share their reactions to events in real-time.

This technique has become increasingly popular in horse racing. I was following this year’s Cheltenham Festival in the UK, and my newsfeed was full of live-streamers and micro-influencers sharing their reactions to the events.

So, how do events and companies benefit from this? Well, in the same way, companies have always benefited from freebies—exposure. However, the exposure they gain from these deals is much more impactful than just someone showcasing something or name-dropping them.

By allowing influencers to attend their events, companies can show what they can really offer. This is a warts-and-all experience that typical marketing strategies are incapable of highlighting.

Last year, one of our micro-influencers, Brettski, was given free hospitality and tickets to the Breeders’ Cup. The company simply provided him free entry and let him work his magic. In the video, he ends up leaving the races up, but whether he wins or loses is not the point. The video does an excellent job of showing people the company’s quality of service.

This type of content will be much more effective for the company than hiring a celebrity to shoot a promo video in a box. Micro-influencers and content creators can bring a raw honesty to the experience that resonates with audiences. Not only that, micro-influencers have a reliability and trust with their audience, which is extremely difficult to create and invaluable to companies trying to sell a product or experience.

Increased Promotional Lifespan

Another massive benefit to having content creators attend live events is that it significantly enhances the promotional lifespan of the event. If you are a company or a team hosting an event and using traditional promotional tactics, you will get some pre-event hype and, if you are lucky, some in-event content, but it typically ends there.

When using a content creator, you will get pre-match excitement and coverage, in-play action, and some post-event content. There is also always the possibility of creating an authentic viral moment, such as capturing the reaction to a horse race, giving your event’s coverage even longer life.

This coverage goes far beyond what you would get from a traditional advertising campaign or a high-end endorsement. When it comes to ROI, having a micro-influencer attend your event is one of the smartest moves you can make.

A Human Approach to Modern Marketing

As scepticism over the authenticity of online content continues to grow, allowing micro-influencers and content creators to attend events in person can be a game-changer for businesses.

It provides a human side to marketing and invites customers to experience something alongside people whose opinion they trust. Providing companies put their trust in the content creators and allow them to show their products and events off in their own unique way

Welcoming influencers to live events is a strategy that can change the marketing landscape for the right brands. It humanises marketing, allowing a brand to create a deeper, more honest connection with its audience that will prove hugely beneficial in the long term.
