Pronet Gaming’s growth strategy leaps forward
Progressive provider sees massive gains in regulated markets
Platform specialist Pronet Gaming is significantly ahead of its three-year growth plan after just 18 months, according to CEO Alex Leese.
The progressive provider’s platform solutions are increasingly popular across global markets, including Africa and LatAm, and have delivered a two-fold rise in turnover.
Its esports and virtual sports product lines have exceeded all expectations with 300% growth, following successful content integrations and upgrades from fellow providers like Golden Race, UltraPlay and Sportradar.
Pronet Gaming has signed over 35 new clients in the past 18 months since Leese kick-started the plan for the company’s new owners.
A cornerstone of his plan of action was the release of a number of industry-first features, including Fastbet, which has helped to maximise the player experience. This solution enables users to wager multiple single bets across all sports at the touch of a button without creating a betslip.
As well as this, its Popular Bets and Popular Events widget automatically displays the bets and events that are most popular in a jurisdiction, refreshing every five minutes – an innovation that has seen massive uptake since its release in October.
By offering an entirely modular system, Pronet Gaming’s clients have been able to cherry-pick the sports betting features that suit their unique needs in regulated markets, allowing them to create fine-tuned experiences for their audience that increase revenues while retaining and engaging players.
Their focus on customisation, speed-to-market and product innovation has also led to a string of industry awards recognising Pronet Gaming this year, including the Gaming Intelligence Awards, EGR B2B Awards and Starlet Awards, as well as being shortlisted for the upcoming SBC Awards and Global Gaming Awards.
Alex Leese, CEO of Pronet Gaming, said: “Operating in all the right regulated markets is really paying off. It’s always great to be on track, but being so far ahead of the game is significantly more satisfying, particularly considering the challenges we’ve faced during this time.
“This degree of growth in such a short space of time is even more than we had hoped for, but we are not slowing down any time soon. We will continue to see that our partners receive a first-class product.”
Ioannis Skoulides, Pronet Gaming’s Chairman, said: “We have seen a great deal of change globally over the past two years, but since taking over Pronet Gaming in 2019 we have seen unparalleled growth and thus the decision to appoint Alex as CEO has proven to be a resoundingly positive one.
“That has been exemplified not only our by growth over the past 18 months, but also by Pronet Gaming’s nomination for three categories in the upcoming SBC awards as well as our expansion into so many new markets.”
Bobby Longhurst, Pronet Gaming’s CCO, said: “These are hugely positive results, but our success story has only just begun. We are excited to build upon the momentum we have generated by continuing our expansion plans and stretching our international footprint even further into more regulated markets.
“The next big step will be attending ICE 2022, where our stand will be three times bigger than our inaugural one in 2020.”
Pronet Gaming now boasts 6,500 of the world’s best games from more than 90 providers and its sportsbook solution provides over 55,000 in-play events every month and more than 500,000 pre-match events a year across more than 1,500 betting markets, with a daily bet count exceeding 20,000,000.
Key to this rapid growth has been the company’s portfolio offering end-users with thousands of betting opportunities across more than 35,000 live events in more than 65 sports, with its live horse racing solution being the latest.

SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator: Largest Content Hub Certified in Brazil
The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, the largest content hub in the iGaming industry, has secured Brazilian certification, becoming one of the first in the market to achieve this milestone.
Regulatory rules for iGaming come into effect in Brazil on 1 January 2025. According to them, platforms, aggregators, sportsbooks, and providers must undergo certification. Companies aiming to provide their services in Brazil in 2025 and beyond have been preparing for this transition throughout the year.
The SOFTSWISS team announces that its Game Aggregator is the first to fully comply with regulations, completing all necessary preparations and receiving the certificate to ensure smooth and efficient operations for its clients.
SOFTSWISS has also obtained certification for integration with the world’s largest game providers – Pragmatic Play, Evolution, and Playtech. These providers offer a diverse range of games tailored to suit the preferences of Brazilian players, from immersive live dealer experiences to engaging slots and table games, ensuring entertainment for every type of player.
According to recent Kantar research conducted in November 2024, the overall satisfaction index for the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is 8.1 out of 10. Remarkably, half of the respondents rated the product a 10 or 9. Customer support service satisfaction scored even higher, at 8.4 out of 10.
The Game Aggregator also boasts a key advantage: consistent 99.999% uptime, which is crucial for the iGaming business.
Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, notes: “According to our information, the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is the first aggregator fully prepared, both technically and legally, to work in Brazil when the new regulations take effect. This is a significant achievement that the team has worked on diligently and systematically. Our work doesn’t stop here – we are actively adding new providers to help our clients expand their presence in this promising Brazilian market, which is no longer ‘the sleeping giant’. It has awakened, and SOFTSWISS is at the forefront of this exciting transformation.”
To support this high level of performance, earlier this year SOFTSWISS appointed Rubens Barrichello, the Brazilian Formula 1 legend, as a Non-Executive Director, demonstrating its strong commitment to the local market. To ensure efficient operations and promptly address ongoing matters, SOFTSWISS also has a dedicated team of local business development managers in Brazil.
SOFTSWISS team will be available to discuss partnership in Brazil and other markets at the first major iGaming event of 2025 – ICE Barcelona, taking place on 20–22 January, at stand 2G42.
