SoftSwiss offers setup discount of up to 25% for new Sportsbook clients
The 2020 UEFA European Football Championship is upon us this week, and SoftSwiss continues its limited-time offer with the standard discount option for all new SoftSwiss Sportsbook clients. The offer includes up to 25% off on setup costs for Sportsbook and is valid until the end of the tournament (July 11th inclusively).
EURO 2020 is finally here and officially kicks off this Friday. Hence why SoftSwiss is giving away a very special discount offer to new and existing clients who are considering launching their sports betting projects with the SoftSwiss Sportsbook.
The conditions for the standard discount option remain the same as announced previously:
- The limited-time offer does not stack up with other discounts.
- Both first-time clients and current SoftSwiss Online Casino Platform clients are eligible.
- The discount applies solely to the SoftSwiss Sportsbook solution (excluding all other products and services provided by SoftSwiss).
- Bundle projects including both SoftSwiss Sportsbook and Online Casino solutions will receive a flat discount option, which is equal to a White Label or Turnkey project.
Alexander Kamenetskyi, Product Owner of SoftSwiss Sportsbook, noted: “We all cannot wait until the start of the tournament that the whole of Europe, and I guess the world, has been waiting for so long! We wanted to celebrate this major event alongside our clients, so we decided to give something truly special to all those wishing to come on board with us this June! We are very excited and hoping to see many new interesting projects join us on our journey with the SoftSwiss Sportsbook”.
The limited-time offer started at the end of May and has already attracted massive attention to the sports betting industry newcomer. The provided discount of up to 25% marks the second phase of the limited-time offer and will last until the very end of the EURO 2020 tournament (July 11th).
SoftSwiss Sportsbook Platform was officially released in late 2020 and has been consistently expanding ever since, including its recent strategic move to the Indian market with the newly-launched Premium Cricket package.
Sportsbook keeps on heavily investing in R&D and innovation, as just this week the sports betting software brand launched brand-new functionality for players introducing three different types of free bets — NoRisk, AllWin, and OnlyWin — ahead of the grand summer of events.
Many more features are planned to be added later in 2021.

Betting sector moves forward amid regulatory debate and reinforces the need for clear rules and a safe environment in Brazil
The advancement of sports betting regulation in Brazil has placed the sector at the center of important discussions regarding legal certainty, tax revenue, and economic development.
Amid recent debates over possible market restrictions, the postponement of new projects such as the launch of Caixa Econômica Federal’s betting platform, and the ban on prediction markets, specialists continue to emphasize the importance of consolidating a regulated, transparent, and sustainable environment for the industry.
More than just a trend, the legalized betting market is increasingly being viewed as a strategic opportunity for the country, with the potential to generate jobs, attract international investment, and significantly boost public revenue.
Regulation is also seen as an essential path toward ensuring consumer protection and combating informality.
In this context, BiS Brasília, confirmed to take place on June 2 and 3, positions itself as the leading discussion forum for the sector in Latin America.
The event will bring together authorities, operators, regulators, and experts to debate the future of the industry at what is considered a decisive moment for its consolidation in Brazil.
“It is not simply about allowing or banning betting, but about how to structure a responsible market that creates value for the entire chain—from operators to consumers—while remaining under effective public oversight,” said Alessandro Valente, chairman of BiS Brasília.
“Legality brings predictability, attracts serious companies, and creates more effective control and enforcement mechanisms.”
Another key point is the role of regulation in promoting responsible gaming. With clear rules in place, it becomes possible to implement stronger policies to prevent risky behavior, while also ensuring greater transparency in operations.
“Brazil has the opportunity to build one of the most relevant regulated markets in the world. Events such as BiS are essential to align expectations, share international best practices, and accelerate this process responsibly,” he added.
Held in Brasília, the center of the country’s main political and economic decisions, the meeting reinforces its strategic role by bringing together the different stakeholders involved in shaping this new scenario.
Expectations are that this edition will go down in history as a milestone in the maturing debate over the legality of betting in Brazil.
BiS Brasília
Now in its second edition, BiS Brasília is an iGaming and betting industry event dedicated to fostering dialogue between the private sector, government authorities, and society on the development of the regulated gaming, casino, and lottery market in Brazil.
Held in the federal capital, the event gathers business leaders, authorities, and experts to discuss strategic topics such as regulation, integrity, innovation, taxation, and responsible gaming.
BiS SiGMA South America is part of the SiGMA World group’s portfolio of events, a global leading brand in organizing B2B events and a business platform for the gaming and betting ecosystem worldwide.

The supplier is nominated for Game Aggregator of the Year and Employer of the Year ahead of SBC Summit Malta on April 29.
Alea has been named a finalist in two categories at the upcoming SBC Awards Europe: Game Aggregator of the Year and Employer of the Year. The company announced the nominations on April 28 from Barcelona.
Founder Alexandre Tomic said the double shortlisting reflects a link between product delivery and company culture. “If people don’t care about what they’re building, it shows immediately. In the product, in the details, everywhere. Reliability can’t be bolted on later, it’s a consequence of that care.”
“We’ve spent years building a team that takes ownership and holds a certain standard. Seeing both nominations together just tells me we’re doing something right.” Tomic added.
The news comes ahead of SBC Summit Malta, where Alea said Tomic and COO Ramon Glieneke will take part in conference sessions on April 29. Tomic is scheduled to appear on “Casino vs Sports: Can Gamification Truly Cross Over?” while Glieneke is due to join “The COO Horizon: Challenges and Opportunities in 2026/27.”
Alea said its wider team will be onsite throughout the summit at Booth D22.
