How VeliEDGE Transformed Marketing Game for Rival Fantasy

About the client
Rival is a Fantasy Sports provider that offers fun and unique sports gaming experiences. With over 1,700 players daily the company offers new experience in fantasy sports both for seasoned enthusiasts and individuals embarking on their journey in this captivating realm.
The Challenge

Managing player retention and engagement in a resource-draining environment:

Rival Fantasy faced a daunting challenge: effectively managing player retention and engagement in a resource-draining environment. Traditional processes, such as handling spreadsheets and managing email lists, led to errors and inefficiencies.

Existing marketing platforms offered an overwhelming array of features without truly addressing the unique needs of Rival Fantasy. Add to that the mounting challenges from sports betting competitors and advertising restrictions, and the Fantasy Sports industry landscape became increasingly complex.

The Solution

An all-in-one solution that streamlined marketing and client engagement processes

Rival Fantasy’s ambition was not just to survive but to thrive – aiming to create a more transparent, accessible, and engaging fantasy gaming environment, asserting itself as an industry frontrunner.

To address Rival Fantasy’s challenges, our team implemented VeliEDGE , an all-in-one solution that streamlined marketing and client engagement processes.

Our team initiated a comprehensive solution by automating the fundamental processes, which included the “Welcome flow” and “Transactional notifications” for deposit and withdrawal processes. As the VeliEDGE team scaled up the efforts, advanced workflows were introduced, such as the “Bonus for first-time depositors” and “Referral campaigns,” augmenting a unique approach to user engagement.

Additionally, based on particular understanding of customer interests in specific game categories or types of sports, our team set up reactivation workflows, ensuring a seamless and personalised experience for each player.
