The company’s commitment to delivering exceptional service and cutting-edge solutions to the Latin American market is highlighted by recent initiatives, including enhancing its server infrastructure and assembling a local team of Regional Business Development Managers.
In Brazil, where football is more than just a sport but a national passion, SOFTSWISS introduces its Sportsbook, aligned with the country’s football fervour. Beyond betting, SOFTSWISS presents a comprehensive suite encompassing the Casino Platform and the Game Aggregator, addressing the escalating demand for diverse online entertainment. The integration of the Jackpot Aggregator and advanced engagement tools not only enhances operators’ portfolios but improves the overall user experience.
“I am Brazilian and also the Regional Business Development Manager for SOFTSWISS in LatAm. I deeply appreciate the significance of a localized business strategy that respects our national identity. SOFTSWISS is keenly aware of Brazil’s fervent sports culture, especially football, and we’ve tailored our products to align with this passion.

Our integrated solutions form an ecosystem designed to flourish in Brazil’s dynamic market, aiming to surpass the expectations of its enthusiastic players,” comments Carla Dualib, Regional Business Development Manager (Latin America) at SOFTSWISS.

GamCare releases Annual Report following record breaking year of support on the National Gambling Helpline
GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline received a record 55,228 calls and online chats from people experiencing gambling harm in 2023-24 – a 25% increase from the previous year – according to the charity’s Annual Report.
In a year marked by uncertainty over the future shape and structure of the gambling harms treatment sector following the previous government’s white paper on gambling reform, the charity continued to prioritise those at-risk of, or currently experiencing, gambling harm.
Of all calls and online chats that were responded to on GamCare’s Helpline in 2023/24, 41,070 (74%) were classed as supportive interventions. This includes supporting people with initial guidance and advice as well as delivering a seamless entry point into structured treatment services, with individuals completing treatment reporting a significant reduction in gambling-related distress and financial harm.
In March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities published an assessment of the gambling treatment system, highlighting that 57% of individuals engaging in treatment were referred by the National Gambling Helpline. This underscores the Helpline’s critical role in connecting people to the support they need. Over 9,100 free treatment sessions were delivered in the year to April 2024, with an average of just 2.1 days’ wait from point of referral.
GamCare’s targeted programmes aimed at young people, women, and the criminal justice system provided training on how to spot the signs of harms and where to signpost into support for 10,344 professionals, and education for 53,324 young people, children and parents. The Women’s Programme, in partnership with organisations such as Refuge, trained 3,813 professionals to recognise and address gambling-related harm among women.
Margot Daly, Executive Chair of GamCare’s Board, says: “Throughout a challenging year and with heightened demand for our services, GamCare’s staff have got on with the job of preventing harm where possible and treating harm where necessary. While we expect important changes in the gambling harms landscape, we have been determined not to let this uncertainty affect our relentless focus on the people who really matter – those at-risk of or currently experiencing gambling harms.
“I would like to thank and pay tribute to our frontline staff who provide 24/7 support for all those at risk or in distress. I also want to thank GamCare’s senior executive team who have steered GamCare through a period of sustained change, and to my fellow trustees for their guidance, unwavering support and the time each has dedicated to ensuring that the charity stays on course and on mission.
“As we look ahead to how the future of the gambling harms sector is shaped, we are committed to working proactively with the NHS and other partners and commissioners to ensure that people are continually able to receive the right support at the right time.”
