Stretch Network is closing the year with another set of platform updates, building on the major improvements rolled out earlier this month. This latest release focuses on increasing player engagement and expanding gameplay options through three key enhancements: a new Mission System, the Button Blind game option, and improvements to the Run It Twice feature.
Mission System Boosts Player Engagement
The newly introduced Mission System allows operators to create in-game objectives that reward specific player actions across multiple game formats. As a result, operators can encourage activity while offering structured incentives tailored to different playing styles.
Operators can now configure missions directly from the Poker BO across tournaments, Sonic Tables, cash games, and Spin & Go formats. For cash games and Sonic Tables, missions can be linked to metrics such as generated rake, bet amounts, hand counts, or cashouts. Meanwhile, tournament-based missions can be calculated using tournament entries, rake, or bet values. Together, these options give operators greater flexibility in designing engagement-driven campaigns.
Button Blind Option Accelerates Gameplay
In addition, Stretch Network has introduced the Button Blind option, which replaces traditional small and big blinds with a single blind posted by the dealer button. This structure increases action and speeds up gameplay, making it especially suitable for Shortdeck (6+ Hold’em) and selected high-stakes formats. Consequently, players experience faster rounds and more dynamic betting scenarios.
Run It Twice Feature Receives UX Improvements
Stretch Network has also refined the Run It Twice feature to improve usability. Previously, the option appeared permanently at the table, which reduced clarity and limited adoption. Now, the feature only appears when relevant, making the interaction more intuitive and player-friendly.
Overall, these updates reflect Stretch Network’s continued focus on enhancing gameplay, improving user experience, and supporting operator growth. The company has confirmed it will continue delivering meaningful platform improvements in the year ahead.
