This transition has been particularly complex for affiliates and casinos, who have long relied on Microgaming\u2019s well-established brand identity. Players, too, continue to seek out and recognize Microgaming titles, presenting a unique challenge as these games now fall under Games Global\u2019s umbrella.<\/p>\n<p>To delve into these issues, we spoke with Christoffer \u00d8deg\u00e5rden, Head of Marketing at Bojoko.ca, who provided valuable insights into how the industry is adapting and how Bojoko is helping users navigate this branding shift. They themselves still refer to the games as Microgaming games and provide their users with an <a href=\"https:\/\/bojoko.ca\/casino\/microgaming\/\">overview of Microgaming casinos available in Canada<\/a>. According to him, anything else would be quite disorienting to players.<\/p>\n<p>In this interview, \u00d8deg\u00e5rden discusses the importance of clear communication in guiding players through these changes and the role of Bojoko.ca in ensuring that users still have access to the games they love, even under the new branding. We will also explore the broader industry impact of this sale, including how affiliates and casinos are balancing the legacy of the Microgaming name with Games Global\u2019s new ownership.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>It has been two years since Microgaming sold their games and much of their business to Games Global, yet Bojoko.ca and many other affiliates still use the Microgaming name in promoting these games. Why is that?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><i>Christoffer \u00d8deg\u00e5rden<\/i><\/strong><span class=\"acssf62a8\">: <\/span>They are still games that were made and released under the Microgaming label. Though they are owned by someone else now, that will never stop being the case. What confuses the issue is that, unlike most acquisitions of slot developers, where the developer continues to exist and a studio, at least in name, the company of Microgaming was not purchased, it was the assets most people associate them with.<\/p>\n<p>The reason Bojoko.ca and many other affiliates still use the Microgaming name is rooted in player familiarity and trust. Microgaming has been a household name in the iGaming world for years, and players have come to associate it with certain standards of quality and reliability. Even though the games are now under the Games Global banner, the Microgaming name carries a lot of weight with players who might not be as familiar with the industry\u2019s internal changes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BetUS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

We\u2019re gradually introducing the Games Global name while keeping the Microgaming brand visible, striking a balance that respects both Microgaming\u2019s legacy and Games Global\u2019s new ownership. It will take a very long time before all, or even most, players become fully aware of what has happened, and it is important that they are still able to find what they are looking for.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How is Bojoko.ca assisting its users in navigating this complex situation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><i>Christoffer \u00d8deg\u00e5rden<\/i><\/strong><span class=\"acssf62a8\">: <\/span>At its heart, it is not that complex. The games are still there, they may simply just be under a different name than players are used to. We prioritise keeping our users informed and confident in their gaming choices. We\u2019ve updated our content to clearly communicate the transition, ensuring that players understand that the quality and enjoyment they expect from Microgaming titles remain intact, even under the new Games Global branding. We also provide detailed reviews and guides that help users identify these games, making the process as seamless as possible.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>With players so familiar with the Microgaming brand, how are casinos and affiliates balancing the need to adapt while still catering to player preferences?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><i>Christoffer \u00d8deg\u00e5rden<\/i><\/strong><span class=\"acssf62a8\">: <\/span>The key here is gradual adaptation. Many affiliates, including us, and casinos are still referencing Microgaming in their marketing and game listings because that name holds significant weight. At the same time, they\u2019re introducing the Games Global brand in a way that doesn\u2019t alienate players. This often involves dual-branding strategies where both names are used or detailed explanations in communications to ensure players are aware of the transition.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do you foresee any long-term implications for the iGaming industry as a result of this portfolio sale?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><i>Christoffer \u00d8deg\u00e5rden<\/i><\/strong><span class=\"acssf62a8\">: <\/span>Even though it\u2019s been more than two years since the sale, players still massively prefer and search for Microgaming-related terms. This shows just how deeply ingrained the Microgaming brand is in players\u2019 minds. Transitioning to the Games Global brand identity is going to take a long time, probably much longer than initially anticipated. Players have built a strong association with the Microgaming name, and shifting that recognition to Games Global is a gradual process that requires careful and consistent communication over time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
