NuxGame Launches Provider-Independent Tournaments for Casino Operators

LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Oct. 9, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- NuxGame, a B2B iGaming software provider, has launched a new feature that allows casino operators to run tournaments, leaderboards, and wager races on any game from any provider within their library. This move marks a significant shift in the iGaming landscape, as operators can now create competitions with their own rules, prizes, and entry conditions without needing approval from game studios.

The new tournament engine is integrated directly into NuxGame's platform, offering operators a flexible and customizable solution. Unlike existing tournament mechanics, which are often controlled by individual game studios, NuxGame's system allows operators to define the rules, prize tables, and point rates. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for both real-money and sweepstakes casino operators, as the setup process and filters are consistent across both models.

Operators can schedule tournaments to run on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, or even customize the duration. The tournaments can be displayed on the casino homepage, and a dedicated page lists all upcoming and finished tournaments. Each entry includes a banner, a "How it works" block, the rules and conditions, the prize table, a list of eligible games, and a live leaderboard that updates in real time.

Operators have full control over the tournament setup. They can choose the games by provider, game type, category, or individual title, using the same filters already used for bonuses, achievements, and tiers. The system also allows for point rate customization, enabling operators to promote certain games by increasing their point rates and demote others by lowering their rates. This feature turns the tournaments into a margin instrument, giving operators the ability to influence player behavior and drive engagement.

The mechanic is not limited to real-money projects. On a sweepstakes casino, the setup flow, filters, and leaderboard work the same way, with prize types adapted to that model. Each online casino on the platform gets a dedicated tournaments page listing every upcoming and finished tournament. Each entry carries a banner, a short "How it works" block, the rules and conditions written by the operator, the prize table, the list of eligible games, and a live leaderboard. The leaderboard updates in real time: a player places a qualifying bet, points are added, and their position moves, so they always see where they stand and how far they are from the next prize. Operators can also display the active tournament on the casino homepage, where it updates on its own.

Operators control every step of the setup process. They can schedule the start and end dates and the calculation time, with the system showing how many days the tournament will run. They can set the prizes, including ranks and rewards for each place, with cash to the player's balance, shop points, or experience inside the operator's tier program. The system totals the full prize cost before activation. They can select the games by provider, game type, category, or individual title across everything connected through the casino API integration, using the same filters already used for bonuses, achievements, and tiers. At launch, the feature covers casino content.

Operators can also set point rates, a base rate for how much turnover earns a point, with per-game overrides to raise the rate on titles the operator wants promoted and lower it on titles it does not want farmed. They can set entry thresholds, a minimum qualifying bet, a minimum number of bets, and a minimum total turnover. Players adjust their stake to qualify, which is the practical reason tournaments raise average bet size.

To protect the points economy, risk settings include a control that excludes turnover-risky games, titles flagged for transaction behavior that lets players generate more points than the mechanic intends. Operators can run up to ten tournaments at the same time, and campaign results are available in platform reporting. Segmentation, allowing a tournament to target a specific tier or players active in a given set of games, is the next planned addition.
