Turn Gaming Into Subscriber Engagement

FGN gives broadband operators a managed esports and gaming platform for tournaments, leagues, leaderboards, rewards, community activation, and subscriber engagement.

From the living room to the leaderboard

A program that starts in the household and ends up in the community.

FGN Esports and Gaming is available today. Operators decide the market, the audience and the brand presence. FGN runs the program.

Who takes part

  • Households and playersSubscribers and their families who choose to take part.
  • The local communitySchools, clubs, venues and community groups in the service area.
  • The broadband operatorKeeps the brand, the customer relationship and the local presence.
  • Sponsors and partnersOrganizations that want to reach an engaged local audience.
  1. Households and players

    A household hears about it

    A subscriber sees a competition promoted by the operator they already pay every month, in the market where they live.

  2. Households and players

    They register and play

    Registration is open to the community, eligibility is confirmed and communication consent is captured at sign-up.

  3. The local community

    Community competition builds

    Brackets, schedules, standings and leaderboards give people in the same market a reason to keep showing up.

  4. The broadband operator

    The operator is visible throughout

    The program runs under the operator brand, across local channels and community partners, operated by FGN.

  5. Sponsors and partners

    Sponsors and partners take part

    Sponsorship, prizing and partner involvement attach to a program that already has an engaged local audience.

  6. The broadband operator

    Participation is reported

    Participation and engagement reporting for the agreed scope informs what runs in the next season.

Community competition

Competition your community can join, run by people who do this every day.

FGN operates the scheduling, the brackets, the rules, the officiating and the day of event support. The operator stays visible without having to build or staff a gaming program.

What the operator gets back is engagement in the market it serves: households taking part, a brand present in something people choose to join, and reporting for the scope that was agreed.

  • Subscriber engagement

    A reason for households to interact with the operator brand outside of billing and support.

  • Service differentiation

    Something present in the market that competing providers are not offering.

  • Sponsorship opportunity

    A program that sponsors and local partners can attach to, with a defined scope.

  • Opt-in first-party engagement data

    Participation data captured with consent at registration, within the agreed program scope.

Gaming is already part of the subscriber experience

Your subscribers are already playing.

Gaming spans households, age groups and communities. It shows up in the living room, the dorm room, the community center and the phone in someone's hand, and it happens on the network the operator already provides.

That makes gaming one of the few activities where an operator can be present in the experience rather than only in the bill. FGN does not publish market sizing figures here. Any figure used in a proposal is sourced, dated and shared with its assumptions.

  • Across households

    Gaming is a shared household activity rather than a single subscriber behavior.

  • Across age groups

    Participation reaches well beyond the audience operators typically plan for.

  • Across communities

    Local competition connects schools, community groups, employers and sponsors.

Make your brand the place the community competes

Your brand on the bracket, the leaderboard and the trophy.

The program runs under the operator brand so the community associates competition, recognition and local pride with the network that makes it possible.

  • Tournaments and leaguesOne off tournaments for reach, and seasonal leagues for repeat participation.
  • Community leaderboardsStandings that give participants a reason to return and to bring others.

Frequently asked

Straight answers.

  • Does our team have to run the events?

    No. FGN operates the program. The operator decides the brand presence, the market scope and the level of internal involvement.

  • Will this reduce churn or raise revenue per subscriber?

    FGN does not guarantee either outcome. Any revenue, churn or average revenue per user example shared during an engagement is labeled as a model with its assumptions stated.

  • Can this run alongside Simulation Skills Challenges?

    Yes. Many operators run competition and skills challenges together so the same community activity also connects participants to training and employers.
