Parimatch began advertising the game earlier in the year with Euro 2020 in mind. “We specifically made a short game session so that players would not get stuck in it for hours, and after a couple of boss fights, they would return to their business,” he says. A crucial part of this strategy is that the game is free to play and is about generating brand loyalty. They not only log on to check the odds in various sports and place a bet but also to play Footboss games and win prizes. “Our goal was to help the player have fun creating their own football story,” Berezhnoy says.īerezhnoy explains that the idea for the game came about as an alternative to the “boring campaign and promotional offers” that were running ahead of Euro 2020, before it was postponed.įootboss, he says, diversifies the reason why a user returns to Parimatch.
