Building Cost-Effective Sweepstakes Platforms with TRUEiGTECH's AI Gamification
Project Snapshot :
In our present digital market, online gaming is moving extremely fast. With players demanding smoother experiences, funnier, and safer platforms, operators are faced with big problems. Older platforms are slow, costly, and less engaging, especially for mobile players. Most platforms take a huge share of the operator’s revenue, leaving operators with less money for growth. These older platforms designed outdated engagement models that failed to retain players. Their system relied heavily on static content with various manual oversight. And the corresponding result to the operators! Their profits were drastically reduced. Yet, the operators are not given full platform ownership.
Just in time, a client complained about these exact problems to TRUEiGTECH. The client wanted a simple, safe, and cost-effective sweepstake platform, full platform ownership – no shared revenue, and AI gamification to keep their players excited. So, the TRUEiGTECH team of experts stepped in with a different approach. The team designed a mobile-friendly sweepstake platform with full code ownership, end-to-end support, and a cost-effective platform driven by AI-powered gamification. It blends compliance and scalability with behavioral intelligence without sacrificing its speed and security.
The outcome was obvious; the client achieved 35% player retention with an additional 25% profit in revenue. They launched earlier, had full ownership, shared no revenue, and saved more money. At the same time, their players stayed longer, and fraud was reduced by 40%; a win-win for operators and players.
