// Free-to-Play

Engage. Retain.

It's a numbers game - we turn audiences into players who stick around.

01 · What we do

Acquire. Engage. Retain.

We help regulated operators use Free-to-Play games to increase customer engagement and deliver measurable commercial outcomes.

F2P Game Platform

Our platform powers Pick'Em, Streak, Survivor, Trivia, Daily Spins and more. Every game is fully configured for your audience and seamlessly embedded in your product.

Retention Strategy

Comprehensive lifecycle management and player acquisition frameworks. From first play to long-term loyalty - we design the full journey for your platform.

Data, CRM & Personalisation

Every round generates 6+ data points fed into your CRM. Personalised messaging, smarter segmentation, and more effective customer incentives - powered by real behaviour.

Every stage of the lifecycle.

01 - Attract

€0.14 per play. 8.8% net-new users per campaign.

Free-to-play is one of the cheapest acquisition tools going. A single major-event campaign pulls a wave of brand-new users onto your platform - many of them first-time customers.

02 - Engage

64% return week-on-week. Active 44% more days.

Built for habits, not one-off visits. Players come back week after week and stay active far longer than those who don't play.

03 - Convert

68% convert to paid action. 4.8% click-through on post-play prompts.

Engaged players convert to paid activity at far higher rates than non-players. And every post-play prompt turns a game session into another shot at conversion.

04 - Retain

22.4% lower churn. 40.2% more revenue per player.

F2P players don't just convert - they stay. Lower churn, higher lifetime value: the longer they play, the more valuable they become.

The Platform

Games built to perform.

Our platform powers six core game formats, each engineered to drive specific outcomes across the player lifecycle. Every game is fully configurable for your brand and seamlessly embeddable in your product.

Prediction

Pick'Em

Players predict outcomes, scorers, or events across fixtures. Drives deep sports engagement and delivers highly qualified betting intent signals directly to your CRM.

Daily Challenge

Streak

Daily correct-prediction streaks that reward consistency. Habit-forming mechanics designed to bring users back every single day.

In-Play

Survivor

Live, in-play survival. Questions drop in real time as the action unfolds - one wrong call and you're out. Watch the survivor count fall after every question, and fight to be among the last standing. One fixture, start to finish.

Knowledge

Trivia

Sports-themed knowledge challenges with broad appeal and a low barrier to entry. Ideal for user acquisition campaigns, casual players, and cross-sell audiences.

Reward Loop

Daily Spins

Daily reward mechanic with spin-based outcomes. Drives login frequency, habitual engagement, and seamless CRM trigger points that connect play to commercial action.

Bespoke

Custom Builds

Have a specific audience or major event to capture? We design and build new game formats from scratch - fully configured for your brand, moment, and platform.
