12th June 2018, London – RISQ, the B2B-only jackpot risk management specialists, have announced a deal with GVC to roll out their unique jackpot solution across the leading operator’s suite of brands. This new partnership begins with a free-to-play prediction game which adds a fresh dimension to customer acquisition and retention, gearing jackpot payouts up to €11 million* on the World Cup.

The Wallchart Jackpot prediction game will be showcased on bwin, GVC’s flagship European sports betting brand, which has launched the ‘Maradona’s Millions’ promotion to tie-in with the brand’s blockbuster ‘Who Stole the Cup?’ World Cup campaign, which as well as featuring Maradona also includes football royalty in Cafu, Vicente del Bosque and Stefan Effenberg. Maradona’s Millions offers players the opportunity to win up to £/€5 million* by correctly predicting the winners and runners-up of each group in the initial stage of the tournament and the winner of every knockout match up to and including the final.

As well as challenging players with forecasting the results of Russia 2018, the free-to-play Wallchart Jackpot mechanic facilitates the combination of various individual stats and player-performance markets in accumulator-style propositions, covering every angle of the event for deeper user-engagement.

The RISQ-backed game forms part of GVC’s wider marketing strategy for this summer’s showpiece event, allowing the multi-brand operator to expand its global footprint across numerous jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks when it comes to both free-to-play and real-money gaming.
