SOFTSWISS Sportsbook Reflects on Second Winning Year since Launch
Almost 55% of all sports bets in 2022 were made on soccer, which proves the sport’s leadership position with its 20% year-on-year growth. The solution for online betting projects offered by the innovative tech company SOFTSWISS celebrates its 2nd anniversary and shares expert conclusions about the industry over the years.
Regarding the product statistics, the most popular sports bet on through the platform were as follows:
- Soccer – 54.64%
- Basketball – 16.32%
- Tennis – 15.67%
Commenting on the most popular sports by Bet Sum in 2022, Alexander Kamenetskyi, Head of SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, highlights that despite the third position, betting on tennis leads by profitability.
“American football and cricket are among the Top 7 sports, which pleasantly surprises us. This shows that they are represented well at the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, and our partners’ marketing campaigns work great for them.”
From the esports perspective, the hugely popular Counter-Strike titles account for almost 75% of all bets. In addition, the rise in the popularity of League of Legends is also noteworthy, with its share of esports betting exceeding 15%.
The FIFA World Cup 2022 played a huge role in captivating bettors, attracting 37.5% of all sports bets during the winter tournament timeframe. The average bet at the tournament was 74 EUR, and the most popular match was the final duel between Argentina & France. However, the most profitable match in terms of betting was Morocco vs Spain, where Morocco, the ‘Cinderella’ of the World Cup, beat the favourites in the championship.
The Sportsbook has increased its GGR by 485% year-on-year, while the total bets rose by 795%, and the turnover was up by 654%. These spectacular numbers highlight the important area of growth the Sportsbook platform unlocks for SOFTSWISS.
Alexander Kamenetskyi comments on the product growth: “We are thrilled that the Sportsbook is growing on all fronts: bets, turnover, profits, and of course, its functionality.
The flexible margin system mastered by our risk team has been a major contributing factor. Twenty new projects and three platforms have also helped us achieve this phenomenal growth. The launch of unique bonuses contributed to the attraction and retention of players in the projects, which also played a significant role.”
2022, in particular, was a breakthrough year for the solution, with the comprehensive back-end work allowing it to be integrated with the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, ensuring that operators get two high-quality products in one swift link.
“I want to thank the team and partners for bringing our big cross-product integration to life. It is really hard and professional effort that has gone a long way to meeting the demands of our clients. I am confident it will help us develop even faster and grow even more in 2023!” extends thanks Mr. Kamenetskyi.
The sports betting software SOFTSWISS Sportsbook now offers markets on more than 180 different sports, as well as three exclusive bonus systems: the Lootbox Bonus, Freebet Booster, and Hunting Tournaments. In addition to its burgeoning sports betting offering, it has benefitted from the relationships with a number of well-known brand ambassadors, including esports commentator Kostya Sivko. The Sportsbook and other innovative products by SOFTSWISS will be presented at ICE London 2023, stand N8-231.

New product allows American bettors to log-in directly to their bank accounts at online sportsbooks’ cashiers to fund real-time wagers
Paysafe, a leading payments platform, today launched Pay by Bank for iGaming, a new solution allowing U.S. online bettors to instantly and securely fund deposits at operators’ cashiers directly from their online bank account as well as cash-out winnings seamlessly. This product expands the capabilities of Paysafe’s Gateway, the iGaming payments solution that connects U.S. operators to the market’s most comprehensive range of traditional and alternative payment methods via a single integration.
Building on Paysafe’s 25+ years’ history streamlining iGaming payments, the company added Pay by Bank to respond to the growing demand from U.S. players for payment choice. The Gateway already connects operators’ cashiers to Paysafe-processed card payments, the Skrill digital wallet, the Paysafecash online cash solution, and third-party payment products. Strengthening operators’ player acquisition, Pay by Bank provides their customers with yet another payment option that is particularly appealing to the 27% of bettors who prefer transacting via direct bank transfer, according to Paysafe research.
Leveraging Paysafe’s single-integration Gateway, U.S. online gaming operators can now offer Pay by Bank to their customers, giving first-time users the ability to sync their checking or savings account in just seconds, then fund their player account securely in real-time. For returning bettors, the process is even easier, with Pay by Bank supporting one-click payments from linked accounts.
Winnings can be withdrawn from players’ sportsbook accounts just as seamlessly, with Pay by Bank enabling rapid payouts directly to linked bank accounts, again initiated through a single click.
For operators, all Pay by Bank transactions are indemnified, reducing liability if a player’s deposit from their bank account defaults. Along with helping to drive player acquisition by providing more payment choice, Pay by Bank’s other benefits for operators include strengthening customer retention by improving the overall payment experience. According to Paysafe research, transactional speed and financial security are players’ top-two priorities when it comes to the payment experience.
Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, said: “We’re delighted to unveil our new Pay by Bank product for our iGaming solution, which will almost certainly prove very effective in both converting and retaining players for U.S. operators, with the product’s impressive transactional speed and robust security. Through Pay by Bank, we continue to grow the Paysafe Gateway by providing American operators and their customers with unparalleled payment choices, all through a single integration.”
Paysafe will be showcasing Pay by Bank and the Paysafe Gateway while exhibiting (Booth A270) at the SBC Summit North America in New Jersey from May 7th to 9th, 2024.
