Elys Game Technology Enters into Virtual Sports Retail Distribution Agreements

Elys Game Technology, Corp., an interactive gaming and sports betting technology company, announced today that the Company has entered into retail distribution agreements to deploy its Virtual Generation Limited (“VG”) virtual sports wagering and amusement products throughout Italy.
The agreement is expected to place VG products in approximately 5,000 retail locations operated by both the Company’s Multigioco subsidiary and other licensed operators in the Italian market that would allow patrons to wager on a variety of high-definition virtual sports events such as pre-recorded greyhound and horse racing, virtual horse racing, and Italian league play virtual soccer. With these deployments in the robust regulated Italian market in addition to games such as English league virtual soccer, Keno, Colors, American Roulette and others specifically developed for localized markets, VG is now broadly operating in over 110 global markets. The Company’s objective is to generate accretive organic incremental revenue of approximately $5 – $7 million from our suite of virtual products annually.
“We expect our investments in Virtual Generation to pay-off quickly with deployments in multiple regulated markets including Europe, U.S.A. and Canada, Africa, Asia and in April 2020, VG became the first certified provider of online virtual games through Newgioco Colombia based in Bogota, and is now one of the leading providers of localized virtual sports products in South America,” stated Michele Ciavarella, Executive Chairman of Elys. “VG’s efficient mathematical algorithm and certified random number generator technology could offer our retail partners a superior economic proposition and flexibility compared to many peer competitors in the space, while the highly versatile technology stack is perfectly suited to service all potential operator segments through web and mobile applications as well as land-based client and desktop solutions. VG’s pipeline of new virtual sports interface and graphics development continues to impress potential customers, and we believe that our competitive advantages are essential differentiators that could result in the rapid adoption and global growth of our virtual sports products over the coming years. The growth of our virtual product offering is expected to complement our Elys sportsbook expansion in the U.S. and Canadian betting markets and rapidly contribute to our profitability roadmap and schedule.”

SOFTSWISS Developer Conference Highlights Engineering Strength in High-Load iGaming

SOFTSWISS, a global igaming software provider, has hosted one of its largest internal developer conferences. The closed-door event in Warsaw brought together over 100 product and engineering specialists to share their experience on building robust iGaming infrastructure, scalability, and technology resilience.
Designed to accelerate cross-functional collaboration and drive technical excellence, the conference agenda featured ten selected talks focused on mission-critical topics such as platform architecture, high-load performance, risk management, and structured thinking – all vital to the stability and success of modern iGaming operations.
“Behind every seamless gaming experience is a robust, well-architected platform that can perform under pressure,” said Sergey Kastukevich, Deputy Chief Technology Officer at SOFTSWISS. “This conference reflects our belief that high-performance technology is the foundation of long-term operator success. It’s where ideas are tested, knowledge is shared, and better systems are built.”
The speaker line-up was curated from a highly competitive pool, with three applications submitted for every available slot. The final agenda reflected both the technical depth and practical expertise required to operate at scale in the iGaming industry, offering value beyond core engineering topics.
“Most of the topics revolved around strategic challenges aimed at improving efficiency, stability, speed, cost, and process optimisation. That defines who we are as a company: we are a global tech company with 16 years of experience, our products are mature, and what matters now is how we process large volumes of data reliably and build scalable knowledge bases. These are applied, enterprise-level issues,” highlighted Stanislau Biarkovich, Principal Architecture Manager and one of the internal organisers of the conference.
Among the standout sessions were:
“An Economist’s Guide to Architecting and Building Web-Scale Platforms” – a talk connecting infrastructure decisions with economic principles, delivered by Brian Azzopardi, Head of Engineering.
“How Risk Management Techniques Could Make Business – and Your Life – More Effective” – a session by Sergei Laiter, Risk and Process Manager, highlighting the strategic thinking behind resilient tech systems.
Attendees included engineers and product leaders from SOFTSWISS offices across Europe.
As part of its broader commitment to innovation and community engagement, SOFTSWISS also participated in Code Europe 2025, one of the continent’s top tech festivals. Representing the company on the public stage, Artem Bychkov, Deputy Chief Security Officer, delivered a keynote titled “Groundhog Day: Lessons from 20 Years in Security”, shedding light on recurring cybersecurity blind spots and their impact on digital business resilience – including in iGaming.
With demand for stable, scalable, and secure platforms at an all-time high, SOFTSWISS continues to invest in its global engineering culture to ensure that its partners – including operators, aggregators, and affiliate programs – can grow with confidence.
