CRM Marketing leader Optimove announced partnerships with gamification leaders Captain Up and Gamanza Engage (a business unit within Gamanza Group AG), delivering a first to iGaming and Sports Betting operators: AI-orchestrated gamification. Optimove is the #1 CRM Marketing Solution used by iGaming and sports betting operators.

More than just gamification, these partnerships seamlessly integrate Optimove’s AI-orchestrated marketing with Captain Up’s industry-leading engagement and gamification platform, and Gamanza Engage’s innovative suite of loyalty and gamification features.

AI-orchestrated marketing is a hallmark of Optimove. Optimove was the first CRM Marketing Platform to natively embed AI with the ability to predict customer migrations between lifecycle stages in 2012 and with OptiBot, starting in 2016. Its most recent major announcement, in November 2023, was OptiGenie: a comprehensive AI-powered suite empowering marketers to optimize workflows from Insight to Creation and through Orchestration.

iGaming and Sports Betting operators benefit immensely from the powerful combination of Optimove’s industry-leading segmentation and orchestration engine with Captain Up’s and Gamanza’s cutting-edge gamification technologies. Operators can now deliver an unparalleled AI-orchestrated gamification experience, driving higher retention rates and deeper player engagement.

Partnerships unlock the following for iGaming and Sports Betting operators:

• Integrated Gamification for Personalization: The out-of-the-box integration with Captain Up and Gamanza Engage ensures that all real-time gamification events are automatically synchronized with Optimove. Whether manual or through AI, this allows for precise segmentation and event triggering, leveraging gamification attributes such as level-ups and mission completions. Significantly enhances the efficiency and accuracy of your segmentation with AI, leading to more personalized customer interactions.
• Real-time Orchestration: Brands’ gamification campaigns, executed via Captain Up or Gamanza Engage, are orchestrated and activated alongside all other CRM marketing campaigns. Optimove’s Self-Optimization algorithms empower marketers with real-time data elements like granting XP points, tokens, boosters, or assigning missions/tournaments, enabling them to deliver relevant messages, offers, and experiences on any channel.
• Holistic Campaign Measurement: Optimove’s scientific measurement and Multi-touch Attribution enable operators to accurately assess the incremental impact of gamification activities on customer and business KPIs.
• AI Optimization: OptiBot assists marketers in discovering which gamified campaigns orchestrated from Optimove can be optimized to drive continuous improvement and maximize the effectiveness of operators’ strategies.

Pini Yakuel, CEO of Optimove, said: “These partnerships are the first to deliver a best-of-breed approach for powerful personalized gamification experiences. iGaming and Sports Betting operators now have more than just gamification; they now have AI-orchestrated gamification as part of the entire player journey and experience. iGaming and Sports Betting operators will be able to keep their players engaged at levels that, until now, were not possible. AI-orchestrated gamified engagements are the future of how marketers build strong relationships with both current and new players.”

He added that the partnerships represent Optimove’s continued commitment to advancing personalization in player engagement through sophisticated promotional strategies and seamless integration with gamified experiences, fostering deeper brand loyalty and customer satisfaction.

Uri Admon, CEO of Captain Up, said: “The collaboration with Optimove introduces a new era of value creation for our partners.
