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.

Awards

NuxGame Wins Casino Platform of the Year at the iGaming News Awards

NuxGame has been named Casino Platform of the Year at the inaugural iGaming News Awards, the first edition of the awards programme run by industry publication iGaming News.

The Casino Platform of the Year category recognises the platform technology operators use to build and run their casino businesses — the core system behind day-to-day operation rather than any single feature or campaign. It is a meaningful marker for a B2B provider since it points to the technology operators actually rely on. Winning the category in the programme’s first year adds another point of industry acknowledgement for the NuxGame online casino software.

The award caps a strong year for the platform, one shaped by steady work on the product itself. NuxGame added new player-engagement tools such as Achievements, Spin Wheel, and Rakeback, expanded its game aggregator with thousands more titles, and opened up new markets by launching its Sweepstakes and Telegram products and gaining a Class II B2B licence in Romania.

The category win follows other recent recognition for the platform, such as Best Platform Provider at the 2025 SiGMA Eurasia Awards and Best Innovation in iGaming Technology at the 2025 European iGaming Excellence Awards. Together they create a steady awards record for the technology behind the company’s casino offering rather than for a single product or campaign.

“A casino platform is the part of the business an operator depends on every day, so this is the recognition that means the most to us,” said Daniel Heywood, CEO at NuxGame. “We’ve spent years keeping the platform stable, straightforward to scale, and simple to run day to day. And we work just as hard on the support quality behind it. Seeing that commitment recognised by the iGaming News Awards is a proud moment for the whole team.”

NuxGame says its direction for 2026 is to keep the platform dependable and easy to run. The company will also keep expanding the ecosystem around the platform so operators can add proven, pre-integrated partners as they scale rather than vetting and connecting each one on their own. The company reads the win as confirmation that the fundamentals it has invested in remain important for operators — and as a reason to keep strengthening them.
