Bets Jump 2.6 Times: SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator Report 2023
The SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator, a comprehensive player engagement solution, shares its 2023 results, highlighting pivotal trends. The 2.6 times increase in bets participating in jackpots indicates the intensity of the operators’ use of jackpots and underscores a surge in player interest in these mechanics.
Bets participating in jackpots demonstrated steady quarterly growth, increasing by 165% from January to December 2023. By the end of the year, the total amount of these bets reached 6.396 billion euro. The number of jackpot campaigns increased by 3.8 times compared to 2022, totalling 230.
The Jackpot Aggregator achieved a significant milestone in 2023 as the number of brands leveraging its jackpot solution tripled from the beginning of the year. By the end of the year, there were over 70 active brands, reflecting a substantial increase in market confidence and interest in the product.
One of the year’s achievements was introducing the new network campaign called the Prime Jackpot. Launched in Q4 of 2023, this innovative feature swiftly attracted significant interest from players across various casinos.
This network jackpot allows operators to join shared prize pools. All rewards are paid from this pool rather than by a specific brand operator. This approach helps provide more significant rewards to attract more players and increase their engagement and loyalty while optimising operator costs.
Aliaksei Douhin, Head of SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator, shares his insights: “The number of clients and connected casino brands has noticeably increased, along with the number and total value of bets participating in jackpots.
We are pleased to see our clients actively using the Jackpot Aggregator, recognising the additional opportunities and value it brings to their brand operations. Our solution allows operators to offer players enhanced gaming experiences and more attractive winnings. We have received vast feedback and carefully analyse it to provide our clients with the most sought-after tools and mechanics.”
In 2024, the Jackpot Aggregator is set to unveil its potential to a broader range of clients. This expansion is grounded in a customised approach, ensuring that each client can tailor the product capabilities to suit their needs.
The SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator team will be at the ICE London on 6–8 February, ready to share their latest advancements and engage in product discussions with existing and potential clients.

Play’n GO games now live with Ivy Casino in the UK
Swedish gaming giant’s industry signals commitment to the UK regulated market by launching it leading portfolio of games with Ivy Casino
Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has today announced that its industry leading portfolio of games is now live with Ivy Casino in the UK.
Ivy Casino’s players in the United Kingdom can now access global smash hits from Play’n GO, including Book of Dead, Legacy of Dead, and Rise of Olympus 100 among many others.
Ivy Casino is a UK-facing online casino brand that launched in 2024 with a focus on delivering a premium, player-centric experience tailored specifically for the UK market.
The brand operates alongside two sister sites, Rose Casino and O’Reels, which also serve UK audiences and share the same commitment to high-quality entertainment, strong user experience and robust responsible gaming standards.
Play’n GO has been one of the leading game suppliers in the UK for many years and is steadfast in its commitment to regulated markets globally.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer of Play’n GO, said:
“We are delighted to launch with Ivy Casino in the UK who, like us, are focused on all the key elements of operating within a regulated market framework. I’m sure this is just the beginning of a long and fruitful partnership.”
Mark Good, representing Ivy Casino, said:
“This partnership with Play’n GO forms part of Ivy Casino’s ongoing strategy to enhance its content offering for UK players by collaborating with leading studios known for creative, engaging gameplay.”
Play’n GO is a proud sponsor of the Moneygram Haas Formula 1 team, and recently launched a fashion brand, Play’n GO Shop, to sit alongside its existing Play’n GO Music brand to give fans more ways to connect with Play’n GO.
In October, Play’n GO set a world record by launching everyone’s favourite slot character, Garga, into space reaching a height of over 35,500m as part of the launch campaign for Reactoonz 100 which instantly became one of the biggest game launches of the year for the company.

Esportes da Sorte strengthens brand presence during New Year’s Eve celebrations across four Brazilian capitals
Esportes da Sorte, one of Brazil’s leading online betting platforms, will be the official sponsor of New Year’s Eve celebrations in four Brazilian capitals: Salvador, Recife, Natal and Maceió. The initiative reinforces the brand’s growing presence in the national cultural calendar and its strategy to connect with large-scale public celebrations beyond the digital environment.
New Year’s Eve is one of Brazil’s most significant annual moments, marked by intense domestic travel, international tourism and mass public participation. By supporting celebrations in four key destinations, Esportes da Sorte aligns its brand with tradition, culture and shared experiences that resonate deeply with local communities.
“Sponsoring New Year’s Eve celebrations in four capitals reflects our commitment to being present in moments that bring people together,” said Marcela Campos, Vice President of the Esportes Gaming Brasil Group, owner of the Esportes da Sorte brand. “Supporting these cities means valuing their cultural identity, strengthening local ecosystems and celebrating the people who keep these traditions alive year after year.”
Across all four capitals, the brand will activate its presence through immersive experiences, public-facing activations and the distribution of branded giveaways — a hallmark of Esportes da Sorte’s engagement strategy at major events. The activations are designed to enhance the festive atmosphere while reinforcing the brand’s connection with culture, entertainment and responsible enjoyment.
The New Year’s Eve sponsorships build on Esportes da Sorte’s broader cultural engagement strategy, which includes long-standing support for large-scale events such as Carnatal, in Rio Grande do Norte — a key fixture in the state’s tourism and cultural calendar. Together, these initiatives reflect the company’s commitment to expanding its footprint in cultural sponsorships nationwide.
Esportes da Sorte’s participation also mirrors a wider trend within Brazil’s regulated betting market, as operators increasingly diversify their sponsorship portfolios beyond football. Music, festivals and cultural celebrations have become strategic platforms for brands seeking broader visibility, deeper community ties and more sustainable engagement with the public.
