Malta-based company opts for market-leading player protection software for key iGaming brands

Play North has joined Neccton’s roster of top iGaming companies using the company’s celebrated mentor player protection software.

Players of one of Finland’s top iGaming brands, Pikakasino, will now be guarded by mentor’s AI-based solution that analyses player behaviour in real-time to prevent problem gambling habits evolving.

mentor recognises possible problematic gambling behaviour and works to help both player and operator to identify and address the issue.

mentor is a ground-breaking player tracking tool which identifies possible problematic gambling behaviour, alerts the operator and contacts players who display critical behaviour directly. For example, players are informed when their deposit frequency is increasing significantly, and helps customers make better informed decisions about their play with individualised feedback.

Dr. Michael Auer, Director and Head of Development at Neccton, explains: “One of the key tools in the system is using messaging to directly communicate with the player and create a sort of cognitive dissonance, so they can evaluate their own play and make better decisions. Customers who are looked after this way are proven to be customers for longer, with much greater overall value to the operator, without falling prey to the dangerous behaviours of gambling addiction.”

Patrick Azzopardi, Director at Play North added: “We know and we all feel that we have a big responsibility towards our customers, the people who trust us and play at our brands. We constantly aim to provide our customers with one of the simplest, quickest and most innovative online casino experiences possible. We aim to provide all of this while also remaining one of the most responsible gaming operators. We encourage our customers to play and enjoy our sites – as long as they are in control. To further ensure this, we have now partnered with Neccton, who we view as market leaders in assisting us and our customers to identify possible problematic gaming behaviour. A fantastic addition to the many tools we already have in place to ensure that our customers can control their entertainment whenever needed.”

The second highest football league in Denmark will again be known as NordicBet Liga

Betsson Group, through its brand NordicBet, and Divisionsforeningen, have agreed to resume the sponsorship of the first division football league in Denmark. With this renewal, the second highest football league in Denmark will again be known as NordicBet Liga.

NordicBet has been sponsoring this league since 2017 and was paused last year due to a change in regulation. The sponsorship can now resume as the regulations were amended. The newly signed agreement covers the 2021/2022 season, meaning that this league will once again be known as NordicBet Liga when it starts on 25th July 2021.

Claus Thomsen, CEO of Divisionsforeningen is glad that the unfortunate suspension of the deal did not diminish NordicBet’s commitment towards Danish football. The restart of the sponsorship sends a positive signal of support benefitting both the participating clubs and NordicBet Liga in general.

“We are happy that in cooperation with NordicBet, we can announce such positive news and continue our great cooperation after a year’s break. In NordicBet, we have a dedicated and stable partner with a focus on responsible gaming. They are a partner that is supporting Danish football even in such a challenging time for world football. This extension sends a signal that Danish football is still worth supporting”, says Claus Thomsen.

The collaboration between Betsson Group and the Danish First Division has been going on for a number of years. It started with Betsafe (2012-2013), NordicBet (2013-2014) and NordicBet (since 2017).

Ronni Hartvig, Chief Commercial Officer at Betsson Group, said “even though our sponsorship was on pause, we still continued supporting the clubs by looking on from outside the pitch and now we are happy to step back in the pitch and resume this great partnership. Our goal is to continue in strengthening the league and drive new initiatives which we hope will bring fans even closer to the clubs they support.”
