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.

Gamblers Connect names Gali Hartuv as seventh 2026 Contributors Program voice
The Playa strategic advisor will publish on VIP operations, segmentation and retention, starting with an anonymous VIP Operations Survey 2026.
Gamblers Connect has confirmed Gali Hartuv, Strategic Advisor at The Playa, as the seventh voice to join its 2026 Contributors Program.
The independent B2B iGaming media platform said the programme will reveal one senior industry voice per month throughout 2026, with contributors publishing under the Gamblers Connect Contributor Editorial Code.
Gamblers Connect said Hartuv has more than 15 years’ experience in VIP management, including designing and optimising VIP programmes across more than 50 operator brands, and training “hundreds of professionals” now working in VIP roles across the industry.
Hartuv will publish across four areas: building VIP programmes that drive long-term value; AI-powered VIP identification and player segmentation; hyper-personalisation and retention strategy; and scaling VIP operations across different markets and cultures. His first contribution is a VIP Operations Survey 2026, an anonymous survey intended to benchmark how VIP teams work across iGaming operators, including portfolio sizing, tools, qualification thresholds, workflow standards and where time is spent during the week.
Partnerships and Operations Lead, Luka Dimitrijevic, said: “VIP management is where a great deal of an operator’s value is won or lost, and very few people can speak to it with Gali’s depth. He has spent his career turning high value player relationships into a discipline rather than guesswork, and he is refreshingly candid about what works and what does not. Through the Contributors Program he will share practical insight on VIP strategy, retention, and the smart use of AI, with content grounded in real results rather than recycled best practices.”
