NSoft exceeds growth expectations, delivering strong Q4 2021 results
by Dražan Planinić, COO at NSoft
The dawn of the second COVID-19 year was all but the COVID-coloured. The entire 2021 was shaped to fit our further development and the expansion of the business, therefore the last quarter of the year was a worthy closure.
The markets where NSoft is traditionally strong continued to grow steadily with new customers, some returning customers and enhancing co-operation with the existing ones. Fourth-quarter results reflect NSoft’s strategic investments in its core product categories. The overall stake in Q4 2021 grew by 20% YoY and the number of tickets surpassed Q4 2020 data by 12%.
Stake growth by the distribution channels:
- Land-based betting business: 22.5%
- Online: 14.3%
Land-based vs online business ratio continued to improve in Q4 2021. A great portion of new business in 2021 was online with notable growth for some particular games. The most prominent was Roulette and Next Six draw-based games together with Virtual Penalty Shootout and Greyhound Races from the virtual sports betting and racers categories.
Optimove CRM Marketing Solution integrated into our Seven Sportsbook platform
We were closing the integration process with the industry-leading CRM Marketing Hub Optimove in the last quarter of 2021. The partnership with Optimove came as we aspire to provide the best-in-class solutions for betting operators to boost player lifetime value, boost retention rates, and significantly scale multi-channel personalization. Balkan Bet, a long-time client of ours, was the first one to introduce Optimove’s AI-mapped CRM. The system allows the operator to maximise players’ lifetime value by micro-segmenting its audience and ensuring that every player is approached with the most personal message, every given time across every channel. The time of Dear Customer is long gone. Both the players and the operators know better and are aware that personalisation of the message and the delivery of the exact content player needs is imperative. Players don’t want to be bothered with irrelevant information.
T-1000 Self-Service Betting Terminal on US Market
In the previous quarterly update, I have announced the partnership with Suzohapp, a world leader in the manufacturing and distribution of gaming, amusement and sports betting products. Suzohapp carries a vast portfolio of components available for immediate distribution and for developing custom-built solutions. The company is our representative for the US market and already in Q4 2021, T-1000, Stark’s premium self-service betting terminals, were sold to the first buyers.
The certification of the terminal for the USA was done before in Q3 2021.
Industry recognition: GGA 2022 nomination in the category Retail Supplier of the year
In December 2021, we received one more confirmation of excellence. NSoft has been shortlisted for the Global Gaming Awards London 2022 in the Retail Supplier of the year category.
NSoft’s betting platform serves more than 60,000 devices daily, with a 20% increase in the number of punters and it is used by clients across 5 continents. This decision was merited by unique solutions for the retail business such as Remote device management that provides a sense of presence in any given betting shop by having full control over devices and daily operations even if you are physically miles away from it. Once again we are honoured and humbled to be recognized as one of the industry’s leading betting and gaming suppliers.
In total, NSoft has been shortlisted for 23 awards in 2021 in different categories – from Sportsbook and individual games to iGaming platform categories.
Lottery in Retail
In Q4 we have extended the Lottery to the retail channel as well. NSoft Lottery is provided through Betradar Unified Odds Feed (UOF), which covers 160+ lotteries from over 30 countries. Also, UOF minimises the possibilities of errors and disturbances in production. World lotteries have never been closer to the punters. Seven admin platform tool allows operators to choose the custom offer of tournaments and events for printing.
People@NSoft
As a result of Sales Boot Camp, an intense one-month-long programme for sales forces we have conducted during the course of October and November, we are richer for four new colleagues in our Business stream. New forces in Sales have already tackled the challenges of constant growth in clients and new markets.
We are immensely proud that our Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) increased to 61. This indicator represents the number of employees who would recommend their employer as a great place to work. The scale is ranging from -100 to +100 and is the ratio between employees detractors and employees promoters. The eNPS score above 50 is considered to be excellent so we are on the right track when it comes to the power of the team!
In general, hybrid work and clear business strategy and goals, together with healthy and stable corporate culture, helped us navigate throughout the entire 2021 with success.

New CMN and SPA rules reorganize the iGaming and sports betting landscape in Brazil
Rafael Brunati and Celso Basílio, lawyers at Silveiro Advogados specializing in regulated markets, corporate law, and competition law, analyze the recent measures adopted by Brazil’s National Monetary Council (CMN) and the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA/MF) and their impact on the iGaming and sports betting industry.
In this article, they examine how the new regulatory framework reshapes the boundaries between betting, financial instruments, and emerging digital market models, while reinforcing Law No. 14,790/2023 as the central pillar of regulation in the sector.
ByRafael Brunati and Celso Basílio
The set of measures recently adopted by the National Monetary Council (CMN) and the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting of the Ministry of Finance (SPA/MF) marks a new chapter in the regulatory consolidation of Brazil’s iGaming and sports betting market.
More than a targeted response to so-called predictive markets, these initiatives signal a broader effort to redefine the boundaries between authorized betting activities, financial instruments, and operations considered irregular in the country.
CMN Resolution No. 5,298/2026 prohibited the offering and trading of derivatives linked to betting, sports events, online games, and political, electoral, cultural, or entertainment themes without a financial-economic reference.
In the same direction, SPA/MF Technical Note No. 2,958/2026 classified predictive market platforms as illegal fixed-odds betting operations, leading to the blocking of dozens of platforms by Anatel.
The move clearly reinforces Law No. 14,790/2023 as the exclusive regulatory framework for fixed-odds betting in Brazil.
In practice, the government has begun to draw a sharper line around who can operate in this market and under what conditions.
Platforms that previously positioned themselves as financial markets, event-based contracts, or alternative technological structures are now being materially treated as betting operators.
The regulatory message is direct: if a product targets the same audience, uses similar economic logic to betting, and involves risk linked to future events, it is likely to fall within the SPA’s regulatory perimeter.
From a competitive and regulatory standpoint, this produces a meaningful effect for licensed operators. Companies that have invested in licensing, compliance, anti-money laundering controls, sports integrity, responsible gaming policies, and regulatory infrastructure are no longer competing with platforms operating outside these requirements under alternative legal interpretations.
This indirectly strengthens the economic value of the license granted by the SPA.
At the same time, this strengthening comes with a significant increase in operational and compliance obligations.
The recent measures also reopen an important discussion on the regulatory limits of so-called betting exchanges and peer-to-peer models.
SPA/MF Technical Note No. 2,958/2026 itself acknowledges that betting between users and the existence of dynamic pricing do not necessarily alter the nature of fixed-odds betting.
This interpretation is relevant because it brings predictive markets closer to exchange-style betting structures already contemplated under Law No. 14,790/2023.
This point could, in the future, open space for regulated betting exchange models in Brazil, provided they fall within the SPA’s authorized perimeter. However, operational rules for such formats have not yet been defined by the regulator, leaving a significant area of uncertainty for operators seeking product innovation.
From another perspective, these measures are also likely to generate substantial litigation.
There are important debates regarding the limits of the CMN’s authority to restrict certain types of derivatives, the SPA’s interpretative role regarding predictive markets, and even the blocking of platforms without judicial orders.
Regardless of the outcome of these disputes, the fact is that Brazil’s iGaming and sports betting market is entering a new phase.
Regulatory logic is no longer focused solely on formal authorization to operate, but increasingly incorporates issues such as financial integrity, protection of vulnerable users, data governance, payment traceability, and continuous operational supervision.
The sector continues to grow, but now within a significantly more sophisticated—and more demanding—environment. For licensed operators, this simultaneously creates a barrier to entry for unregulated competitors and increases compliance costs.
In an increasingly regulated market, competitive advantage is likely to depend less on the ability to offer bets and more on the capacity to operate with regulatory security, operational integrity, and rapid adaptation to new state requirements.

Every FTD Counts HELL Partners Launches €20,000 World Cup Race 2026
HELL Partners (IVIBET / Hell Spin) is kicking off its biggest affiliate competition to date — the World Cup Race 2026 — a two-month performance sprint running from May 15 to July 15, 2026, with winners announced on July 31.
The competition is open to all affiliates, new and existing, and is built around one simple idea: drive first-time depositors to IVIBET / Hell Spin Sportsbook (plus an additional brand that may be launched during the campaign), climb the leaderboard, and take home a share of a €20,000 prize pool — plus guaranteed revenue share bonuses on top.
How It Works
Affiliates drive traffic to IVIBET & Hell Spin Sportsbooks, generate FTDs, and get ranked on a live leaderboard maintained by affiliate managers. Rankings are based on FTD volume and traffic quality. The minimum threshold to qualify is 10 FTDs from Tier 1 or Tier 2 GEOs.
Prize Pool Breakdown
The top 10 finishers split €20,000 in cash prizes: 1st place takes €5,000, 2nd earns €4,000, 3rd receives €3,000, 4th and 5th get €2,000 each, and places 6 through 10 receive €1,000 apiece. Places 11 through 20 receive a limited-edition merch pack.
RevShare Boost — Guaranteed on Top of Prizes
Every qualifying affiliate also unlocks a guaranteed RevShare boost based on their FTD count — independent of their final leaderboard position. Affiliates who bring in 10 to 19 FTDs receive a +5% RS boost for one month. Those reaching 20 to 50 FTDs get +10% RS for two months. Affiliates who hit 51 or more FTDs earn +10% RS for three months. The logic is straightforward: the stronger the performance, the longer and more profitable the terms.
Built for Every Affiliate, Not Just the Top
The campaign is designed to reward volume at every level. There is no all-or-nothing mechanic — earnings scale directly with output, the rules are transparent from day one, and the playing field is genuinely open. Whether you’re an established partner or just joining the network, the structure is built to make participation worthwhile.
