In this article, Royal Partners outlines how its new FUGU brand is built around retention, engagement, and long-term player value, offering affiliates a product designed to maximize conversion and deliver stable, sustainable income beyond bonus-driven acquisition.

In affiliate marketing, projects that focus not only on bonuses but also on player retention are increasingly coming out on top. Retention, LTV and engagement have become key metrics — and these metrics are at the core of Royal Partners’ new FUGU brand.

FUGU is not just another casino in the affiliate program portfolio. The product was originally created with a focus on maximising conversion and delivering stable affiliate income.

A focus on retention and engagement

Interactive mascot

One of the central elements of the user experience is an animated fish mascot that reacts to the player’s actions. This mechanic helps build an emotional connection with the product and has a positive effect on audience retention and loyalty.

Ranking

FUGU has a ranking system which highlights top players and enhances social competition between players. This encourages repeat visits and increased activity, which directly translates into higher LTV. Additionally FUGU offers personal rankings to each player.   

Presence in media

Royal Partners strengthens brand promotion through streamers and media integrations. This increases brand awareness for FUGU and improves the effectiveness of partners’ advertising campaigns.

Player benefits

In addition to the gamified interface, the brand offers competitive perks for players. 

  • Welcome package up to 250% + up to 500 FS   

  • Increased RTP in slots

  • Daily, weekly, and monthly rakeback 

  • Prize Drops: weekly cash prize draws without wager 

  • Flexible bets allowing up to €1,000 per spin  

  • Selection of slots for high-rollers

  • No KYC for deposits and withdrawals via crypto

To sum it up, FUGU is a player-oriented brand, where close attention is paid to user experience. For affiliates, it means higher conversion rates and stable income.
