Soft2Bet at iGB Live: Innovative Tech and Partner Celebrations

Soft2Bet, a renowned B2B platform provider, made a significant impact at the 2023 iGB Live conference in Amsterdam. As one of the industry’s premier events, iGB Live brought together leading names and innovative newcomers, all sharing insights, trends, and projections in the online gaming and affiliate marketing sectors.
Chief Commercial Officer Gilad Naim had a dynamic presence at the conference. “Our participation in the iGB Live was a testament to Soft2Bet’s commitment to fostering strong industry relationships and staying ahead of market trends. We are continually evaluating opportunities for expansion into different regulated markets and we can say that we are excited about several potential markets and are looking forward to further global expansion this year. We are guided by the principle of ensuring fair and secure operations, which will continue to underpin our expansion strategy.”
During the conference period, on July 12, Soft2Bet also held its own party, celebrating its partners and friends who joined the provider’s team in Amsterdam. The party, which took place in the magical atmosphere of the Fabrique des Lumieres museum, made a lasting impression on the guests.
The immersive show – a combination of music and the video mapping projection on the walls and floor – made Dali’s and other artists’ paintings seem to come alive. This experience was organically continued in a neon show of acrobats and dancers who immersed the audience in a phantasmagoria of images. Among other attractions, the Shisha zone just outside the museum was especially popular, hosting a relaxed atmosphere for the next-level networking.
The party had become a huge success before it even began: Soft2Bet had to expand the guest list from the planned 300 people to 500 due to a huge demand. And after the party, people were talking about nothing but it – the best testament to its overwhelming success.
Soft2Bet leverages events like iGB Live not only to gain insights and network with industry players, but also to showcase its innovative and customizable platform solutions, unique gamification engine, and other parts of its comprehensive product kit. The company encourages businesses looking to excel in the iGaming space to partner with Soft2Bet for an engaging and customer-focused approach to B2B iGaming solutions.

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. We’re committed to being the number one operator in South Africa, and partnering with Play’n GO is a significant step forward on that journey.”

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.

April Fool’s Day
No fooling! The All-Inclusive Hotel Room Package is back for summer stays at the Plaza Hotel & Casino

Tomorrow might be April Fool’s Day but this is no joke, the Plaza Hotel & Casino is bringing back Las Vegas’ only all-inclusive hotel room package starting at $125 per person per night.
The Plaza introduced its all-inclusive hotel room package last summer. It was so well received by guests that the iconic downtown Las Vegas property is bringing it back and extending it for all of June, July and August.
“At a time when tourists are concerned about increasing costs in Las Vegas, including resort fees and paying to park, we wanted to give our guests a more affordable summer vacation option by again offering our all-inclusive hotel room package,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino.
The Plaza’ all-inclusive hotel room package waives all resort fees, but guests will still have free access to the fitness center, self-parking, and rooftop pool. It also includes bottomless drinks from the Omaha Bar and Sports Book Bar on the casino floor as well as breakfast and dinner from various dining outlets, and more.
The Plaza’s all-inclusive hotel room package is available for booking beginning today. Rooms must be booked online by Aug. 29 for a stay June 1 through Aug. 30.
