Real Money Function to Reinforce SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator’s Tournament Tool
The ‘Only Real Money’ setting is the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator’s new update to its recently launched Tournament Tool. The feature allows operators to calculate tournament results based solely on real-money bets and wins, thereby ensuring a greater focus on players who generate real profit for casinos.
Previously, tournament results were determined by including both bonus and real-money bets in the calculation process. The new feature strategically excludes bonuses from the equation, providing a compelling incentive for players to engage in real-money bets. By unlocking this opportunity, the Game Aggregator anticipates a surge in deposits and, consequently, real business revenue growth for operators.
As a result, operators can now curate events on their platforms, leveraging more profit-generating mechanics. The ‘Only Real Money’ logic amplifies the efficiency of the Tournament Tool while allowing operators to increase their revenue streams and elevate retention rates without compromising the thrill for tournament enthusiasts.
Tatyana Kaminskaya, Head of SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, sees great value in this new feature and states: “The ‘Only Real Money’ setting brings cost-effectiveness into play, enhancing the efficiency of tournaments and accelerating their payback. By redirecting the costs towards real profit rather than bonus turnover, casinos can ensure that their investments in players generate substantial returns.”
To facilitate the flawless operation of the new feature, the active involvement of casinos is pivotal. By engaging in the process, operators will have the opportunity to set configurations on their side and collaborate with the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator to establish the criteria for qualifying bets. Based on the received information, the product team will be able to highlight bonus-based wins and keep them separately from the leaderboard. This capability underscores the Game Aggregator’s commitment to meeting the diverse goals and needs of its operators and showcases the adaptability and versatility of its proposition.
Overall, this year is brimming with significant achievements for the Game Aggregator. Building on the previous success, the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator has secured the prestigious ‘Aggregator Platform’ title at the EGR B2B Awards 2023 reaffirming its position as an industry leader in innovation for the second year in a row. And the introduction of the Tournament Tool, now featuring the ‘Only Real Money’ functionality, exemplifies the team’s unwavering commitment to excellence through technological innovation.
SOFTSWISS will be attending iGB L!VE 2023 on 11–14 July at stand P22, showcasing the array of its high-performing products and solutions, including the Game Aggregator with its latest updates. Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to explore these advancements firsthand at SOFTSWISS’ stand.

SoftConstruct unveils RecSys AI game recommendation system at AIBC Eurasia
In an iGaming Real Talk interview in Dubai, the firm says the tool reads player emotion and context to guide operator actions.
SoftConstruct AI has unveiled RecSys, an AI Game Recommendation System, during an exclusive iGaming Real Talk interview recorded at AIBC Eurasia in Dubai on Thursday 30th April.
Mushegh Khachatryan, Chief AI Officer at SoftConstruct AI, said RecSys is designed to move beyond traditional recommendation models by interpreting player emotions in real time and accounting for context, with the goal of suggesting “the next best action” for operators. “You can understand your customer’s emotions in real time and suggest the next best action. We are building intelligent systems which can reason and act.”
Khachatryan said SoftConstruct built an AI Center of Excellence by hiring talent from outside the iGaming sector, and described RecSys as part of “production-ready agentic AI” intended to support personalised campaigns and decision automation. Surya Palli, host of iGaming Real Talk, said: “SoftConstruct is essentially building a Netflix-style personalised experience for the iGaming industry, where every player gets a lobby made just for them.”
Responsible gaming was also discussed, with the company claiming AI can detect risky behaviour faster and more consistently than human teams, and recommend timely breaks while balancing player protection with sustainable growth.
Khachatryan also stressed the need for explainable, controlled deployment. “AI should help teams perform five times better rather than replace them… Without proper boundaries, short-term momentum boosts with AI can actually hurt your company in the long term.” The company said operators can manage campaigns, personalisation and risk through chat interfaces, with at least 85% accuracy “from the first interactions,” and directed viewers to the full interview on the iGaming Real Talk YouTube channel.
