SoftSwiss Sportsbook Platform powers first sports betting brand
SoftSwiss is excited to announce the launch of the very first betting project to run on its recently released Sportsbook Platform. SoftSwiss Sportsbook’s first client is JooSports, the project of the successful JooCasino, part of N1 Partners Group.
The pioneer project JooSports invites players to enjoy the extraordinary sports betting experience with its fast-performing and high-conversion user interface, powered by SoftSwiss Sportsbook. Thanks to that JooSports will allow players to customise their experience depending on preferences. For convenience, there is a ‘Favorites’ section where users can add the most interesting events, and many more pleasant bits.
Noteworthy, the Joo interface will enable a smooth switch between Sportsbook and Casino websites forming a single ecosystem with the operator’s well-known JooCasino (based on another SoftSwiss solution – Online Casino Platform). Similarly to the SoftSwiss Online Casino Platform, SoftSwiss Sportsbook guarantees its players 24/7 high-end customer support. Furthermore, the Platform is mobile-friendly, as SoftSwiss developers took into account that most bets are made on mobile devices. Therefore, the Sportsbook Platform provides an easily customised mobile-first user experience, which in its turn will increase platform usability.
Operating under the Curacao license, Joo caters to players from around the world supporting 11 languages and about 20 payment methods. JooSports offers over 60+ sports (including esports) in pre-match and 24 in live, with a total of around 1200 unique markets and this is just the beginning. The list is expected to be constantly updated.
SoftSwiss Sportsbook Platform is a recently launched, cutting-edge, all-in-one solution for managing sports betting operations. The solution comes with full risk management, fraud prevention and high-quality customer support. Sportsbook inherits the company’s extensive experience in the iGaming market and all crucial functionality and features from SoftSwiss Online Casino Platform: security, stability, advanced player segmentation, adaptability to operator marketing needs.
Furthermore, Sportsbook by SoftSwiss takes advantage of odds feeds and managed trading services by the globally recognized leader Betradar.
CEO of N1 Partners Alexey Shlapunov noted: “We’re extremely excited to become the very first client to launch on the brand-new SoftSwiss Sportsbook Platform! We’re sure that our partnership will enable JooSports to provide their end-users with flexible, sustainable and high-quality service, which will definitely have a positive impact on our business in the long run”.
SoftSwiss is pleased to welcome JooSports among its first sports betting clients and wishes this project all the success in winning the hearts of sports fans around the world. Meanwhile, Sportsbook by SoftSwiss continues to gain momentum in becoming one of the strongest in the highly competitive sports betting market.

SoftConstruct unveils RecSys AI game recommendation system at AIBC Eurasia
In an iGaming Real Talk interview in Dubai, the firm says the tool reads player emotion and context to guide operator actions.
SoftConstruct AI has unveiled RecSys, an AI Game Recommendation System, during an exclusive iGaming Real Talk interview recorded at AIBC Eurasia in Dubai on Thursday 30th April.
Mushegh Khachatryan, Chief AI Officer at SoftConstruct AI, said RecSys is designed to move beyond traditional recommendation models by interpreting player emotions in real time and accounting for context, with the goal of suggesting “the next best action” for operators. “You can understand your customer’s emotions in real time and suggest the next best action. We are building intelligent systems which can reason and act.”
Khachatryan said SoftConstruct built an AI Center of Excellence by hiring talent from outside the iGaming sector, and described RecSys as part of “production-ready agentic AI” intended to support personalised campaigns and decision automation. Surya Palli, host of iGaming Real Talk, said: “SoftConstruct is essentially building a Netflix-style personalised experience for the iGaming industry, where every player gets a lobby made just for them.”
Responsible gaming was also discussed, with the company claiming AI can detect risky behaviour faster and more consistently than human teams, and recommend timely breaks while balancing player protection with sustainable growth.
Khachatryan also stressed the need for explainable, controlled deployment. “AI should help teams perform five times better rather than replace them… Without proper boundaries, short-term momentum boosts with AI can actually hurt your company in the long term.” The company said operators can manage campaigns, personalisation and risk through chat interfaces, with at least 85% accuracy “from the first interactions,” and directed viewers to the full interview on the iGaming Real Talk YouTube channel.
