Examining the 2023 online casino landscape and early 2024 trends reveals that slots still hold over 80% market dominance. However, there are notable shifts in the popularity of specific games. Leveraging data from its Game Aggregator, a leading hub for iGaming projects, SOFTSWISS shares insights gathered by analysing more than 300 clients and 16,500 games.

 

Slot Games

In 2023, slots consistently ranked as the most popular game category, both in terms of Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) and Total Bet Count, capturing 85.56% of the market. Although there was a slight dip to 83% at the beginning of 2024, the expectations are that slots’ popularity will stay above 80%.

Throughout 2023, Pragmatic Play’s Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza asserted their dominance, consistently holding top positions in the top 10 games. However, the landscape shifted in early 2024 when Push Gaming’s Retro Tapes ascended to the pinnacle, relegating the previous leaders to the second and third places.

 

Live Dealer Games

While slots dominate, the leaderboard also features other game types, reflecting diverse player preferences. Beyond individual titles, live dealer games emerge as a highly popular category following slots.

Distinguishing itself from slots, the live dealer game category attracts a different target audience. Players in this segment seek the atmosphere of a live casino and tend to place higher bets. For instance, the average Bet Sum in card games in 2023 was 49.95 euro, whereas in slots, it was only 0.75 euro.

Within this category, roulette and card games capture the spotlight, reflecting the enduring appeal and widespread popularity of classic casino offerings among players.

 

In Q1 2023, the live casino game Crazy Time held the third spot, slipping to the fourth by year-end. Yet, at the start of 2024, Prive Lounge Blackjack 5 outperformed it, securing a higher rank.

Playtech’s live roulette game, Roleta Brasileira, stood out in 2023, ranking high at the beginning and end of the year. Although its global position might change in early 2024, the game remains a top choice for players in Latin America, highlighting its ongoing popularity in that specific market.

 

Crash Games

The crash game category, emerging as the next most popular genre after live casino games in terms of GGR, showcases its appeal, with Aviator by Spribe leading the charge. This game notably ascended into the top three rankings in the last quarter of 2023 despite starting the year from the sixth place. However, by early 2024, Aviator saw a slight decline in popularity, returning to the sixth position, illustrating the dynamic nature of player preferences within the crash game category.

Tatyana Kaminskaya, Head of SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, comments: “Analysing just the first month of the year doesn’t provide the full picture, yet we do this to predict emerging trends. While slots continue to reign supreme in the gaming world, the diversity we see among the top-ranked games highlights the varied interests of our players. It emphasises the critical need to maintain a diverse portfolio that meets different layer preferences, ensuring a rich gaming experience. Adopting this strategy helps attract a wider audience and retain players by offering them various options, reducing the likelihood of them seeking alternatives.”

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Safer Gambling Week runs from 17-23 November 2025 and is all about educating the public on responsible betting and gaming and how to seek help if they think they may have a problem with gambling.

SGW also runs training courses and provides educational assets to the iGaming industry and other sectors, as well as schools and charities.

https://safergamblinguk.org/

Operator perspective

Midnite

“Safer Gambling Week is an important time for our industry to unite with the aim of promoting the importance of customers utilising the support available to them to stay in control. But to paraphrase the famous Dogs Trust campaign: Safer Gambling is for life, not just for Christmas.

“At Midnite, Safer Gambling is at the foundation of everything that we do all day, every day, year-round. We want our customers to have first-class experiences and bring them closer to the games they love, but we want them to do so in a responsible, safe and enjoyable manner.

“We’re proud of the way that we help players to stay in control with the tools, advice and support we offer, and Safer Gambling week is a great time to shout about it. We empower our players to make smart moves to set limits, to gamble safely and in moderation, and we’re working hard to innovate ways to help our players stay in control.” – Thomas Fearns, Head of Safer Gambling, Midnite.

Affiliate perspective

Quantum

“Safer Gambling Week is an important week for both the iGaming industry and the general public, and it’s important to help champion it where possible.

“As a marketing affiliate and comparison site, Quantum is often the first port of call for iGaming customers – which means we have a keen responsibility to make sure that we only market to the right audience. We put our data-driven technology to work to deliver high-quality, responsible gambling traffic to our partners.

“We believe in supporting a balanced approach where gambling remains what it should be: safe, enjoyable entertainment.” – Andrew Lee, COO, QiH Group.

Legal perspective

Poppleston Allen

“As a firm whose main focus is licensing across the UK, compliance is a daily topic of discussion at Poppleston Allen’s offices. We help clients stay within the Licensing Conditions and Codes of Practice and the licensing objectives, as well as staying abreast of hot topics, upcoming government consultations and the Gambling Commission’s latest statements.

“But in addition to the work for our clients, we are also personally passionate about safer gambling – it’s vital that we raise awareness of safer gambling and signpost the professional help and support services that are available to those who need it – ensuring the millions of people who enjoy gambling responsibly continue to do so in a safe environment.” – Richard Bradley, Lead Solicitor, Poppleston Allen.

Supplier perspective

Tugi Tark

“iGaming brings fun and entertainment to millions worldwide, but for some players, it can become more than occasional enjoyment. Protecting vulnerable players is a responsibility the industry shares.

“While in-person interaction is surely a fast way to pinpoint problematic patterns, most gambling takes place online, which means that our job is to create digital solutions to digital problems. As supporting players is what drives our company, Tugi Tark has built algorithms to catch problematic behaviour and language early.

“These aren’t the rigid systems of the past, where true issues pass undetected and safe, happy players get mistakenly caught up in a wide net. Tugi Tark’s AI Agents are intuitive and flexible. They work seamlessly alongside operators’ existing safeguards and support teams to identify player risk before it escalates.

“Building safer gambling digitally benefits all of us, and we’re pleased to participate in Safer Gambling Week 2025.” – Harpo Lilja, CEO, Tugi Tark.

Payments perspective

Paysecure

“Safety and security are fundamental to any payments journey, but it is a particular focus when that transaction is between igaming operators and their players.

“Payment orchestration enables operators to create safer playing environments without adding friction to the user experience. Through intelligent customer segmentation, for example, operators can identify trends and detect when players may be overreaching or playing beyond their usual limits. This depth of data-driven insight helps keep players protected while maintaining a seamless journey, mitigating additional checks or barriers to entry.

“Furthermore, operators using Paysecure’s orchestration platform benefit from our proprietary Trust Score system designed to flag potential fraud and identify unusual behavioural patterns in real time. This intelligence empowers operators to safeguard both their players and their own operations.” – Mike Peplow, Chief Operating Officer at Paysecure.

From $12 to $54,719: The Story of a Big Win at Betandyou!

Published

on

There are thousands of bets placed on Betandyou every single day. Some place small bets, some go big, and sometimes someone hits a win that stands out from everything else.

That’s exactly what happened this November – one of our players placed just $12 and hit a life-changing $54,719 payout!

What Happened Before the Big Win

It all started like any ordinary bet. Football filled the screens – Manchester, Barcelona, Milan, Porto.

The player with ID 6301********, a part of our community since June 2023, opened the Betandyou app and placed his usual pick. No big stake. No drama. Just a regular moment of excitement for the game.

The Four Predictions That Changed Everything

A $12 accumulator and four football matches. Most impressively, exact score predictions – something you don’t see every day and a true sign of confidence. And here’s how the night unfolded:

  • Manchester City – Bournemouth: 3–1
  • Barcelona – Elche: 3–1
  • Milan – Roma: 1–0
  • Porto – Braga: 2–1

One by one, the results started to fall into place. The first two games, perfect 3:1 calls. Then Milan held Roma to 1:0. And finally, Porto sealed it with a 2:1 win. Four matches. Four exact scores.

4560 Odds: A Moment You Can’t Predict

  • Total odds? 4560.
  • The payout? That’s $54,719!

When the final whistle blew, the numbers on the screen told a story we don’t see every day, the kind of win that makes your heart skip a beat and your hands tremble just a little before hitting “Check balance.” That’s the kind of moment every bettor dreams about, when the impossible suddenly becomes reality.

CEO Betandyou: Official Comment

“Wins like this always draw attention,” says the CEO of Betandyou. “But what excites us even more is the story behind it. Our players don’t just bet, they feel the game. They analyze, they take risks, they follow their passion. This win isn’t just luck; it’s the perfect mix of intuition, strategy, and a love for football. At Betandyou, we live for moments like these, because every big win starts with a small belief.”

More Than Just Numbers

This player has been with us for more than a year, and this time their loyalty, patience, and boldness paid off in the best possible way. It’s not really about the amount – it’s about that feeling when your choices turn into something real. When your screen lights up and you realize that yes, you just did that.

At Betandyou, that magic happens every day, sometimes quietly, sometimes spectacularly. But one thing is certain: there’s always another story waiting to be written.

So who knows? Maybe the next headline will be yours.
Stay in the game with Betandyou!
