Retarget.gg transforms blocked customer journeys into revenue, and after reaching 15 million users in three months, it is ready to take the model worldwide

TORONTO, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Twelvio, a leading social and digital entertainment marketing agency, today announced a collaboration agreement with Retarget.gg, an affiliate marketplace that turns geo-blocked and non-converting traffic into revenue.

In its first three months, Retarget.gg recorded:

More than 15 million user journeys retargetedMore than 12 million relevant offers displayedMore than 1 million clicks generated

Retarget.gg addresses a costly problem: businesses pay to attract visitors, but when an offer is unavailable in a user’s location, that customer journey and its commercial value typically ends.

Through a simple integration, Retarget.gg detects where a visitor is coming from, applies geographic rules, and displays relevant offers available in that market. The original business earns from traffic it cannot serve, participating brands reach high-intent potential customers, and the visitor receives a useful alternative instead of a dead end.

Unlike traditional advertising retargeting, Retarget.gg acts when a visitor reaches an unavailable offer, connecting that user with an alternative they can access.

“Businesses continue to invest heavily in acquiring traffic while overlooking the value of visitors already reaching their websites,” said a Twelvio spokesperson. “Retarget.gg turns that missed demand into a new revenue channel. It is more than an affiliate tool. It is a marketplace for customer intent, connecting traffic that one business cannot serve with another business that is ready to convert it. Twelvio will help take that opportunity to new partners, markets, and industries worldwide.”

From North American Gaming to Global Markets

Under the agreement, Twelvio will support Retarget.gg’s growth through affiliate relationships, strategic brand partnerships, performance marketing, market entry, and expansion into new industries.

Retarget.gg is currently deployed across multiple sweepstakes and real-money casino brands in North America. Gaming, with its complex regulatory requirements, has provided a strong proving ground for technology designed to match visitors with offers available in their market.

Beginning in October, immediately following SBC Summit Lisbon, Retarget.gg plans to expand worldwide and beyond gaming.

The model can serve industries where customer access depends on geography, licensing, eligibility, inventory, delivery, or product availability. Retarget.gg’s long-term ambition is to create a global marketplace for customer intent, transforming interrupted digital journeys into valuable commercial connections.

Twelvio and Retarget.gg to Showcase Collaboration at SBC Summit Lisbon

Twelvio and Retarget.gg will jointly showcase their collaboration at SBC Summit 2026, taking place in Lisbon from September 29 to October 1.

Both companies will be represented at the Invicta Entertainment Group stand B551 in Hall 2, where visitors can experience Retarget.gg’s platform in action and meet the teams supporting its partnerships, commercial growth and international expansion.

“Invicta Entertainment Group has spent the past 10 years building, launching, and scaling businesses across the gaming industry. That experience helps us identify ventures with the potential to solve real commercial problems and reshape the market,” said Yuliya Ivanisova, Chief Commercial Officer of Invicta. “Our group invests in the most promising ventures, and Retarget.gg is part of that vision. Together with Twelvio, we are proud to showcase its capabilities at SBC Summit in Lisbon.”

“This collaboration brings together two highly complementary strengths,” said Alex Green, CMO of Retarget.gg. “Retarget.gg provides the technology and a proven monetization model, while Twelvio brings the commercial relationships, performance-marketing expertise, and international reach needed to scale it. Together, we can help more businesses recover revenue from traffic they cannot serve while giving more brands access to high-intent customers worldwide.”

During a live demonstration, visitors will see how Retarget.gg identifies blocked traffic, matches users with available offers, and tracks performance through one analytics dashboard. The Twelvio and Retarget.gg teams will also meet with operators, brands, affiliates, and traffic partners interested in joining the marketplace ahead of its worldwide expansion.

Landmark transaction executed on Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India under SEBI’s Regulatory Sandbox framework, with Trust Investment Advisors Private Limited as Sole Arranger and Advisor

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IIFL Finance Limited (“IIFL Finance” or “the Company”) today announced the successful completion of a ₹25 crores tokenised bond transaction, becoming the first Non-PSU Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) in India to undertake a transaction of this nature. The transaction was executed on the Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India (MSEI), which provided the bidding platform for the deal, with Trust Investment Advisors Private Limited acting as the Sole Arranger and Advisor. The bonds will be listed on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE).

The transaction was undertaken under the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (SEBI) Regulatory Sandbox framework for tokenisation of securities, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of India’s digital debt capital markets.

Tokenisation enables securities to be represented digitally using blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT), offering the potential for greater efficiency, transparency, and speed across debt market processes. By successfully executing this transaction, IIFL Finance has demonstrated the growing adoption of technology within India’s corporate bond market and reinforced its position among NBFCs adopting innovative, technology-led solutions in debt capital markets.

The transaction represents another step towards building a more technology-enabled and innovative debt capital market ecosystem in India, aligning with the broader industry shift towards digitisation of financial market infrastructure.

IIFL Finance’s transaction comes amid growing regulatory and policy momentum around securities tokenisation in India. At the Global Fintech Fest (GFF) 2026 in Mumbai, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Mr Sanjay Malhotra and Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairman Mr Tuhin Kanta Pandey jointly launched a national tokenised corporate bond pilot combining blockchain/distributed ledger technology with the RBI’s central bank digital currency (CBDC) for securities settlement.

SEBI Chairman Mr Tuhin Kanta Pandey, discussing the regulator’s broader tokenisation push, has said SEBI initiated a pilot to explore distributed ledger technology (DLT) for corporate bond tokenisation, noting the shift “could create greater possibility of more liquidity and instantaneous settlement” in the bond market.

Mr Govind Modani, Chief Treasury Officer at IIFL Finance said, “As the first Non-PSU NBFC to participate in India’s emerging tokenised bond ecosystem, we are embracing new-age technology to make capital-market transactions more efficient, transparent and future-ready. The tokenized bond initiative gives us an opportunity to participate in building the financial infrastructure of tomorrow, while gaining valuable experience in blockchain-enabled issuance and settlement.”

IIFL Finance is one of India’s leading financial services companies, offering a comprehensive suite of products, including gold loans, business loans, home loans, microfinance, and other secured lending solutions. With a strong presence across urban and rural India, IIFL is committed to empowering individuals and businesses through accessible and affordable credit solutions.
