Customer Engagement

Engage, Excite, Retain

The iLottery landscape is evolving rapidly, and Allwyn is at the forefront of this transformation. We understand that the way lotteries communicate with and engage their players must also evolve to meet the changing needs of players and the dynamic gaming environment. We are committed to enhancing player engagement through innovative, player-centric strategies that leverage cutting-edge technology and deep insights into player behavior.

We provide data-led marketing capabilities that are fully integrated with the iLottery system and provide tools to manage communication, optimize player journeys, reward behavior, provide promotions and build loyalty.

Our advanced bonusing engine, Optex, transforms promotional possibilities across gaming platforms. Optex provides dynamic and engaging promotions across all game verticals as part of a comprehensive iLottery deployment, or for our eInstant-only offerings if customers take our Nexus remote gaming server (RGS) aggregator. Optex supports a wide range of promotional activities, including free plays, bonus funds, promotional and second-chance draws.

Using our intuitive admin console, operators can effortlessly create, manage, and track promotions while leveraging advanced tools for segmentation, scheduling, and budget management. Optex ensures secure and efficient execution of campaigns, delivering maximum player engagement, retention and revenue growth.

Promotion Management

Optex allows operators to create, approve, manage, and monitor promotions through an intuitive admin console with full auditing capabilities. Promotions can be one-off, or left to run for any period of time, utilising dynamic segmentation and machine learning models to re-engage players and achieve a consistent long-term returns on investment.

Reward Options

Operators can utilise various promotional rewards, including free plays, bonus funds, promotional codes, loyalty points and second-chance or promotional draw entry, ensuring full control over promotional activities. Rewards can be used for cross-promotions, encouraging players to explore and engage with game verticals they may not usually play, leading to higher lifetime value.
