Smartico Gamification
Multi ProductFirst PartyAvailability: Bundle OnlySmartico owns the gamification layer inside its combined CRM and player engagement platform. The current product page says CRM automation and gamification are built into the same platform rather than sold as separate modules.
The operator configures missions, levels, leaderboards, tournaments, badges, points, and marketplace rules. Smartico evaluates operator-supplied player events and displays the experience through its widgets or APIs.
Integration: The operator sends profile, payment, casino, and sportsbook events through REST, a database replica, Kafka, or RabbitMQ. A Smartico JavaScript library renders frontend features. For external bonuses, Smartico reads the operator's bonus catalog and sends an instruction to the operator platform; the operator system defines and issues the bonus.

Smartico CRM Automation
Multi ProductFirst PartyAvailability: StandaloneSmartico is an operator-facing engagement suite with a first-party CRM automation layer for player segmentation, event-triggered journeys, campaign content, and multichannel orchestration. It connects to a casino or sportsbook platform rather than replacing the PAM, wallet, or gaming operation.
The same suite also contains gamification and a bonus engine. Those adjacent products can share player events and journeys with CRM, but they are not counted as separate CRM capabilities here.
Smartico can orchestrate messages through its SmartWay service, supported third-party gateways, or an operator's custom gateway. Its integration guide also keeps bonus definitions and award execution in the connected operator platform.
Integration: A deployment can send server-to-server events to Smartico, expose database views, or provide an event stream. The operator can also install Smartico's front-end script for on-site features and connect its own bonus and messaging endpoints. Public documentation does not define one implementation time, hosting region, or customer contract for every deployment.
- Legal Identity
Mobius BG EOOD operates the Smartico website and is identified as its website data controller

- Vendor Reported2026-07-13
- Transaction Status

- Data Integration

Current documented integration paths
- Vendor Reported2026-07-13
- Messaging Boundary
Message delivery can use SmartWay, supported third-party providers, or a custom operator gateway; CRM orchestration does not mean Smartico owns every delivery rail
Email, SMS, and other communication channels
- Vendor Reported2026-07-13
- Bonus Boundary
Smartico retrieves available bonus identifiers and asks the connected operator system to award a selected bonus; the operator system retains the bonus definition and execution logic
Bonus API integration; not a wallet or payment-processing claim
- Vendor Reported2026-07-13
- Data Role
The public privacy notice covers Smartico's own website and does not establish the controller and processor allocation, retention schedule, or subprocessor set for player data in a customer deployment
Deployment data roles remain agreement-specific
