How Infingame and 3 Oaks Gaming View Regionalization as a Key Driver in Game Aggregation
The heads of Infingame and 3 Oaks Gaming explain how regional behavior redefines aggregation strategy, impacting portfolios and content development in regulated markets.

Key Takeaways
- Regional behavior is the main factor in defining game aggregation in iGaming.
- Operators and aggregators shift from numerous catalogs to portfolios curated by local preferences.
- Infrastructure, promotions, and game mechanics require adjustments for each market.
- Studies and distributors like 3 Oaks Gaming develop games with regional audiences in mind from the start.
The strategy of aggregation in iGaming no longer adheres to a single global model. According to Infingame and 3 Oaks Gaming, the specific behavior of players in each region redefines how operators, aggregators, and studios design and distribute their portfolios. Regional customization and local affinity have displaced the approach of large generalist catalogs as the main predictor of sustained engagement.
Regionalization and Preferences: The Core of Effective Aggregation
Infingame, recognized as one of the most powerful aggregators in the sector, along with 3 Oaks Gaming, a consolidated distributor of slots, argue that treating markets solely by massive regions — Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe — is a conceptual mistake. Preferences can be radically different even among neighboring countries, impacting everything from preferred volatility levels to average sessions and reception of promotions.
According to their analysis of regional KPIs, operators are actively seeking to differentiate their catalogs based on local demand and actual player behavior. Lasse Hjelm Mathiasen, Head of Account Management at Infingame, states:
“The era of building the same casino in every market is over. Operators that decode the specific behavior of players in each region consistently achieve greater engagement.”
Keys to Success: Regional Indicators and Portfolio Curation
Modern aggregation implies that the success of a title rarely replicates equally across all geographies. For example, a leading game in one country can go almost unnoticed in another, even within the same region. Infingame's analysis highlights that the trend is no longer to maximize the number of titles offered but to select those that truly fit:
- the best-performing provider in a specific market (e.g., Brazil),
- the mechanic that drives the most recurrence in North America,
- themes that resonate with young mobile audiences,
- studios that maintain long-term retention and not just launch effects.
The result is a healthier diversification of player activity across studios and categories — reducing reliance on a few flagship titles. Many operators shift featured content following regional patterns and seasonal event data. Regionalization also impacts factors such as volatility preferences, session duration, tournament participation rates, reaction to gamification, promotional frequency, exploration of new games, and devices used.
A clear example: in Europe, campaigns are typically optimized for retention (segmentation and long cycles dominate), while in Latin America, many operators aggressively leveraged tournaments to capture registrations and create dynamism in initial contacts. Simple mechanics like Bet Race and Win Race tend to outperform more complex promotional structures due to their accessibility and understandability.
Infrastructure and Technology: Tailoring Delivery to Each Market
Infrastructure is also regionalized. In markets where mobile users predominate, low latency and technical lightness are demanded; in regions with a strong desktop base, experience criteria may differ. Elements such as payment methods, network quality, and device types compel aggregators to optimize every aspect of delivery, not just the content itself. As international operators expand their presence, technical consistency becomes essential to maintain uniform engagement rates across different jurisdictions.
Mathiasen from Infingame summarizes the shift:
“The successful operator no longer asks what games are popular globally. They ask what games work best for their specific players, in their market, under their own business strategy.”
The success model shifts from being based on catalog breadth: the key is to select and deliver the right games, in the appropriate environment and at the right time.
The Provider's Vision: Regionalization from Each Game's Concept
In the case of 3 Oaks Gaming, regionalization starts from the design phase. By collecting data from multiple regulated markets, the distributor adjusts concepts, mechanics, volatility, and promotional horizons to respond to the specific tastes of the local audience. Collaboration with aggregators like Infingame provides critical insights to understand the evolution of tastes and the actual reactions of players, allowing portfolios to be adjusted to specific segments and geographies instead of opting for indistinct games for all.
Federico Miele, Head of Account Management at 3 Oaks Gaming, asserts:
“Regional preferences are a key variable in the entire development process. While every game starts with attractive gameplay, we clearly see that mechanics, themes, and promotions must adapt to each specific audience. Close collaboration with aggregators allows us to provide real relevance and sustained engagement.”
For 3 Oaks Gaming, the central metric shifts from the mere quantity of integrations with operators to the actual impact of each game in its corresponding niche and market. The approach blends quality content, market intelligence, and regional expertise.
