Soft2Bet releases MEGA Shoot football module during the 2026 World Cup
Soft2Bet has expanded its MEGA lineup with a new gamification module, MEGA Shoot, designed for the wave of football interest around the 2026 World Cup. The company has already launched the product across several of its iGaming brands, including Betinia, Swiper, Campobet, ToonieBet and Elabet.
The rollout also has a broad geographic footprint. MEGA Shoot is available in Denmark, Greece, Mexico, Romania, the United States — in New Jersey — as well as in Canada, including Ontario and the other provinces.
The module itself is built around a penalty shootout of up to five kicks. Players take turns as the shooter and the goalkeeper: they choose where to aim their shot, then decide which way to dive when defending the goal. The mechanics are simple, easy to grasp and a natural fit for the football calendar, especially when the tournament is already attracting so much attention.
For Soft2Bet, this is not just a seasonal add-on with a ball and goalposts. The company has long used its MEGA lineup as a player retention tool, and MEGA Shoot clearly aims to turn football interest into extra activity inside the casino product. It does not rely on complicated rules, but on a short gameplay loop where each decision takes only a couple of seconds.
According to Soft2Bet, engagement among active players reached 31.9%. Another figure stands out even more: 71.2% of users who played their first match moved on to a second one. For a gamification module, that is exactly the type of metric an operator looks at first: not just a user who drops in, clicks once and leaves, but one who comes back for the next round.
The launch of MEGA Shoot shows clearly how operators are trying to use the 2026 World Cup for more than match betting or themed promotions. Here, football becomes a separate engagement layer inside the product, where users do not need to understand odds or wait for a specific game. They can simply log in, take a penalty and try to win the shootout.
