40% Client Portfolio Growth YoY: SOFTSWISS Casino Platform Marks a Decade Live and Shares 2022 Results
Presented in 2013, the SOFTSWISS Casino Platform has seen over 400 successful projects launched to date. On the occasion of the flagship product’s 10th anniversary, the leading tech provider for iGaming takes stock of 2022 and shares key achievements and product updates of the award-winning platform.
Today, the Casino Platform powers 200 live brands from Europe, Latin America and Asia, with 73% of all projects supporting crypto. In February 2023, SOFTSWISS reconfirmed its crypto-gambling pioneer status by winning the ‘Crypto Company of the Year’ title at the International Gaming Awards.
2022 GROWTH IN NUMBERS
2022 was a breakthrough year for the product, with:
- 57 new projects launched
- 4.5 million active players
According to the deep industry survey, 86% of the clients are highly satisfied with the Casino Platform. Operators chose SOFTSWISS for the technical and functional excellence of its solutions, noting their versatility, fault tolerance and management flexibility, as well as for the company’s deep market expertise and top-level service.
Yuriy Mogyr, Chief Commercial officer at RocketPlay Casino: “I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to SOFTSWISS for the fruitful cooperation we have. As a key client of yours, we’ve always been impressed with the quality of service you provide. The prompt updates to the platform allow RocketPlay Casino to hold the bar high in a rapidly changing market, which has been recognised with relevant industry awards. SOFTSWISS has proven to be a reliable partner who is always willing to listen to and understand our needs to offer the best solutions. Looking forward to continuing our partnership.”
PRODUCT INNOVATIONS
In 2022, to equip operators with detailed project and player data, the Casino Platform team launched the Event Streaming feature enabling real-time tracking of any kind of casino activity.
Bonus API and Team Tournaments are two more new features reinforcing operator experience and leveraging one of the hottest iGaming trends – gamification. Bonus API helps operators drive player acquisition and retention by crafting personalised and unique bonuses based on a wide selection of parameters and settings. Team Tournaments expand player opportunities to compete and increase chances of winning through team effort, which helps operators engage more players, boost game activity, and, as a result, find positive movements in their profits. The In-Game Currency Conversion feature allows players to convert their crypto balances into nine most used fiat currencies: USD, EUR, AUD, RUB, CAD, NZD, NOK, JPY, and BRL.
2023 has also brought some meaningful product updates. The team has integrated the MetaMask cryptocurrency wallet that interacts with the Ethereum blockchain. Now players are able to deposit their MetaMask crypto balances while gambling. It means they don’t need to manually transfer funds from the MetaMask wallet to the casino wallet, which saves their time and streamlines access to games.
The SOFTSWISS expansion in the international arena is evidently reflected in the progressive growth of its headcount, with the Casino Platform team having redoubled over the last 12 months.
Darya Avtukhovich, Head of SOFTSWISS Casino Platform, comments: “The rapid expansion we have seen from our Casino Platform is a testament to the hard work that everyone has been doing since we went live 10 years ago. This year promises to be one of the biggest years in terms of growth as we continue to develop local markets, expand our crypto offering, personalise content and implement social features. We also plan to strengthen our retention tools and expand our footprint in Latin America.”

Play’n GO announces landmark South African partnership with Hollywoodbets

Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has today announced a new operator partnership in South Africa with Hollywoodbets.
The legendary games studio went live in South Africa in 2024, and this newly announced partnership will see classic Play’n GO titles such as Fire Joker, Rise of Olympus 100 and Boat Bonanza now available to Hollywoodbets players in South Africa.
Play’n GO enjoyed a landmark year in 2024, expanding its reach globally, and recently announced the launch of two brand new slots mechanics, Blitzways™ and Crashback™.
Stuart Trigwell, Director of Business Development at Play’n GO, commented “South Africa is a market of increasing significance in iGaming globally, and we’re very pleased to have gained such a strong foothold in the country with this partnership.
“The Hollywoodbets brand is synonymous with iGaming in South Africa, and this partnership reflects the commitment of both Play’n GO and Hollywoodbets to deliver the best casino gaming experience possible to players in the region. We’re excited for the opportunities that will come from this partnership, and we look forward to many years of success together.”
Wayde Dorkin, Head of Product at Hollywoodbets added “We’re looking forward to welcoming Play’n GO’s legendary games portfolio to our platform, and we know our players are just as excited as we are.

When 5 Votes Make All the Difference: A Special Moment at the GamingTECH CEE Awards

At this year’s GamingTECH CEE Awards, we witnessed something rare—and pretty remarkable—in the “Best iGaming CEO in CEE” category.
With 214 total votes cast across 9 nominees, two names clearly rose to the top, standing apart from a highly competitive field:
- Vlastimil Venclik, CEO at Oddin.gg
- Dario Jurčić, CEO at NSoft
But here’s where it gets interesting: the difference between them? Just 5 votes.
That’s right—after weeks of online voting and a live secret ballot from summit participants, the final count came down to a 5-vote margin. In a category filled with respected leaders, innovators, and visionaries, two CEOs clearly resonated with the industry in a big way.
And while only one person can technically take home the winner’s trophy, this razor-thin result was too significant to ignore. So, for the first time in the history of the GamingTECH CEE Awards, we decided to introduce something new:
- An Honorary Runner-Up Trophy for “Best iGaming CEO in CEE” awarded to Dario Jurčić, CEO of NSoft.
Why This Matters
The intent behind this decision is simple: When excellence is nearly indistinguishable, it deserves to be recognized.
Dario Jurčić has played a vital role in expanding NSoft’s influence, strengthening its presence in new markets, and leading with a people-first approach in a rapidly evolving sector. His visibility, leadership, and impact were clearly acknowledged by the voting community—and with just a handful of votes separating him from the top spot, it felt only right to shine a spotlight on that achievement.
A Testament to a Vibrant Industry
The closeness of this race also speaks volumes about the caliber of leadership we’re seeing in the Central and Eastern European iGaming space. With companies like Oddin.gg and NSoft pushing boundaries in their respective verticals, the region continues to establish itself as a dynamic force in the global gaming landscape.
We congratulate Vlastimil Venclik on his well-earned win, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation and applause to Dario Jurčić for standing out in such a competitive field.
Sometimes, even second place can tell a powerful story—and this year, it certainly did.
