In short

Pick Optimove if

You need a full enterprise CRM marketing hub at the centre of your stack

Pick Sellrise if

You need a forecast for every player and a list of who to keep today, alongside your CRM

Details, axis by axis, below.

What Optimove is

  • Optimove is a well-established CRM marketing platform widely used in iGaming, with an enterprise focus: customer segmentation, multichannel campaign orchestration and a broad marketing toolset.
  • In April 2026 Optimove announced it is acquiring Smartico; per the announcement, both companies keep running independently.
  • For scope, pricing and integration details, talk to their team - we do not state their terms for them.

What Sellrise is

  • Sellrise is a retention CRM with AI forecasts for online casinos.
  • Every morning your team sees who to keep, which promotion from your catalogue to offer, when and through which channel.
  • It works alongside your platform and CRM, or as your main CRM if you do not have one.
  • Your team decides and sends.
  • Priced as a subscription by volume, not a share of GGR, with the whole team included.

Which one fits

When Optimove is the right choice

  • You want a full CRM marketing hub as the centre of your stack, and are ready for a platform-level project
  • You run an enterprise-scale operation with a dedicated CRM team building campaigns and journeys
  • You are choosing your primary campaign and segmentation platform with a broad marketing toolset

When Sellrise fits better

  • You want a forecast for every player and a list for today, without a separate analyst
  • You want the bonus picked per player from your catalogue, and to stop giving bonuses to players who do not need them
  • Your ARPU is thin and you need pricing by volume, whole team included, no share of GGR
  • You want the effect measured on your own players against a control group before you commit

How to compare, axis by axis

We only state facts about Sellrise. For each axis we say how Sellrise works and what to ask any vendor, so you can compare on your own terms.

Integration weight

Sellrise works alongside your platform. Four tables by Player ID, contacts optional, integration at our cost, a separate database for every client. Nothing to migrate.

What to ask any vendor

Ask any vendor what data they need, where it is stored, and how long a typical integration takes for an operator your size.

Offer per player

Sellrise picks the promotion from your catalogue, the time and the channel for each player, shows the reason, and says who should not get a bonus at all. Your team sends.

What to ask any vendor

Ask who picks the bonus: one offer per cohort set by hand, or one per player with a reason you can check.

Per-player forecast

Sellrise scores every player: churn risk, VIP potential from the first week after the first deposit, chance of the next deposit and value over 90 days as a range.

What to ask any vendor

Ask whether segmentation is rule-based lists your team maintains, or a model that scores each player.

Pricing model

Sellrise is a flat subscription by volume: core from $1,500 per month when paid quarterly, up to 10,000 active players, whole team included, no per-seat fee, no share of GGR. Integration and support included.

What to ask any vendor

Ask how pricing scales with your player base and team size, and whether setup or integration is billed separately.

Questions operators ask

Is Sellrise an alternative to Optimove?

For some operators, yes. If what you need first is a per-player forecast and a clear list of who to keep, Sellrise covers that, alongside your CRM or as your main one. If you need a full CRM marketing hub with broad campaign orchestration, Optimove is a strong choice in that category.

Can Sellrise run alongside Optimove?

Yes. Sellrise works alongside your platform and CRM: your scenarios stay where they are, and Sellrise gives your team the lists and suggestions, as an export or over an API.

What does adding Sellrise involve?

Four tables by Player ID: players, deposits, bets, sessions. Contacts are optional, only if messages and calls go through Sellrise. Integration is at our cost, and every client gets a separate database.

How do we know it works better for us?

We do not name percentages before a test. The effect is measured on your own players: a control group, your team as it works today, and your team with Sellrise, over one month, on average turnover per player.

Compare on your own numbers

The honest way to choose is a pilot: a control group, your team as it works today, and your team with Sellrise, measured over one month on your own players.
