SOFTSWISS Casino Platform Introduces Referral System
The SOFTSWISS Casino Platform, an innovative software for online casinos, launches a Referral System. The service is designed to address two key objectives. Firstly, it assists operators in reducing player acquisition costs, and secondly, it empowers them to maximise potential revenue, leveraging existing user bases to attract new players.
With the Referral System implementation, operators gain full control over referral bonus rules and the ability to determine the size of the invitation rewards, allowing them to create reasonable conditions for attracting new audiences. From the players’ perspective, the referral system operates through a user-friendly algorithm that involves five simple steps to refer a new player. Inviters need to:
- Create a link.
- Send it out.
- Fulfil referral conditions.
- Claim the reward.
- Reap the results.
The Casino Platform Referral System is tailored to cultivate a strong community and promote player loyalty, encouraging gamblers to stay engaged and continue playing on the operator’s platform. The absence of reward limits serves as an enticing incentive for existing users to actively invite more participants, maximising their potential rewards and sustaining a continuous inflow of new referrals. Additionally, the newfound system offers trackable statistics that enable inviters to monitor their performance, track their invitees’ progress, and stay enthusiastic about fulfilling the conditions for claiming invitation rewards.
Daria Avtuchovich, Head of SOFTSWISS Casino Platform, comments on the launch: “Implementing such a cost-efficient marketing tool into the Casino Platform is a great step forward in helping our partners to increase their player base. Moreover, referred users usually exhibit higher conversion rates, leading to increased lifetime value and stronger brand advocacy. By tapping into social proof, referral systems expand brand reach and positively impact player retention while fostering enhanced engagement. The Referral System solidifies the SOFTSWISS commitment to providing innovative solutions for its partners and enhancing the overall gaming experience.”
The SOFTSWISS Casino Platform has recently obtained the vital GLI-33 certification, which serves as a testament to its exceptional performance and also paves the way for entry into new regulated markets. Among the latest updates, it is worth mentioning the ‘Super Casino’ design template that enables the creation of a unique frontend design up to three times faster than before.

Former WBC cruiserweight champion to appear at PartyPoker Tour UK stops and take part in online activations.
PartyPoker has appointed former WBC Cruiserweight World Champion Tony Bellew as a brand ambassador for the remainder of 2026, with appearances tied to the operator’s live PartyPoker Tour and online poker offering.
The company said Bellew will be “a regular face” at its remaining UK tour stops this season following an earlier appearance at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. Bellew will also take part in online activity linked to the PartyPoker schedule.
“I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me,” Bellew said.
PartyPoker said Bellew is scheduled to attend each remaining UK stop on the 2026 PartyPoker Tour: London in July, Glasgow in August, Cork in November, and London in December. The operator also referenced a series of exclusive online events running alongside the live calendar.

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity
Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.
The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.
In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.
“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”
The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.
For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.
The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
