Soft2Bet and iGaming Academy: training at scale with a commitment to excellence
Partnering with iGaming Academy has enabled Soft2Bet to train its teams at scale and strengthen its commitment to regulatory compliance and excellence.
As an iGaming operator and supplier that works across a multitude of jurisdictions, Soft2Bet’s scale, reach and size (with more than 1,000 employees across four main sites) meant finding training solutions that answer multiple and varied needs was paramount.
Whether the training focused on compliance, responsible gambling, anti-money laundering or sporting integrity, the need for a centrally-located, comprehensive and scalable training solution that can be applied to all its teams led Soft2Bet to partner with iGaming Academy.
First project quickly expanded
The collaboration at first focused on compliance training for Soft2Bet’s operational teams, but quickly evolved into a company-wide approach. The ability of both Soft2Bet and iGaming Academy to quickly gauge the scale of the requirement has enabled the effective rollout of training to a vast international workforce.
Elisabeth Isaksson, Head of Regulatory and Compliance at Soft2Bet, says: “iGaming Academy’s training platform and courses not only facilitate multi-jurisdictional training whilst reducing repetitive learning, it also offers seamless support for policy uploads and additional training materials. This presents a significant advantage for a large, international and growing company, centralising all training materials in one accessible location to enhance employees’ learning experience and streamline the auditing process.”
Soft2Bet’s partnership with iGaming Academy is an example of its commitment to staff training at every level and of harnessing scale and reach by creating a centralised hub for compliance and regulatory matters.
Rebeka Mizzi, Commercial Director of iGaming Academy, added: “It’s a pleasure to work with such a renowned and exciting company. Soft2Bet’s commitment to staff development and training is visible in the way they’re utilising our platform to create a centralised knowledge hub for their entire business.
This goes beyond our industry courses with more and more teams adding their policies and training onto the system, giving their staff the support they need on an ongoing basis. With the system supporting their team leads to track learning analytics and identify knowledge gaps, it’s a testament to how they have not only partnered with us to conform with their compliance requirements, but to truly understand their staff and equip them with the knowledge to excel at their jobs and take the company to the next level.”
iGaming Academy’s Plug-in Solution
The partnership has also been strengthened by Soft2Bet’s use of iGaming Academy’s new AML and RG Plug-in Solution. This has enabled it to adapt, localise and tailor its training to “multiple jurisdictional requirements and having the option to complement the training with supporting policies through their Policy Hub,” adds Isaksson, “this has proven to be immensely effective for our organisation”.
By leveraging iGaming Academy’s comprehensive training solutions, Soft2Bet is reaping the benefits of a scalable, centralised and efficient platform that has empowered it to navigate the complexities of multi-jurisdictional training.
The Dutch gambling regulator, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), has published its Match-fixing Trend Analysis for 2025.
The number of reports of possible match-fixing in 2025 remained roughly the same as in 2024. However, there was a change within the reports: gambling providers reported more athletes betting on their own competition, which wasn’t the case in 2024.
Gambling providers are obligated to prevent match-fixing as much as possible. They can do this, for example, by not offering bets on high-risk matches. If a provider suspects match-fixing, it can report it to the Sports Betting Intelligence Unit (SBIU) of the Royal Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA). In recent years, the KSA has actively worked to raise awareness about filing these reports.
In 2025, the KSA received 12 reports of match-fixing from 9 different license holders, compared to 13 reports the previous year. It is striking that 4 of these reports concerned betting on the club’s own competition, while this category did not occur in 2024. In this context, the KSA increased its focus on preventative education for athletes in 2025, informing them about what is and is not permitted and the associated risks.
Last year, the KSA published a guideline, “Commitment to Integrity,” to provide providers with additional tools to combat match-fixing. Furthermore, an ongoing investigation into the sports betting offerings of various providers was conducted throughout 2025. This investigation resulted in several warnings and a penalty for prohibited offerings.

Liquor & Gaming NSW (L&GNSW) is putting gambling operators on notice that social media influencers are a key focus of its regulatory priorities for 2026.
L&GNSW is responsible for monitoring online wagering and gaming machine advertising visible to the NSW community, including posts on social media, to ensure they comply with NSW laws.
Hospitality and Racing Deputy Secretary Tarek Barakat said with the rise of social media influencers promoting gambling, it was important businesses including online bookmakers and gaming machine operators understood the law and their responsibilities.
“We are putting gambling operators on notice that a key priority for us this year is examining their marketing and customer retention practices, including the use of social media personalities,” Mr Barakat said.
“Gambling operators should be careful about any affiliate or partnership arrangements as we are holding them responsible for the advertising of their products.
“The things we are targeting include paid and unpaid promotional partnerships with wagering operators and gaming machine operators, influencer content that normalises betting behaviour or glamorises gaming products, and in particular, the use of platforms, including podcasts, with large youth or vulnerable audiences.
“These practices may increase the risk of gambling harm by blurring the line between entertainment and marketing, and by exposing at‑risk groups to persuasive promotional content.
“L&GNSW will require social media content creators to demonstrate that their social media and website content complies with legal requirements.
“We also work with other responsible agencies as required to ensure people abide by the law and gambling harm is minimised.”
Mr Barakat said other 2026 regulatory priorities are targeting:
• barriers to closing gambling accounts, VIP or loyalty programmes and other marketing practices, including direct advertising used by casino and gaming venue operators
• casino governance and integrity
• alcohol-related harm hotspots, including areas experiencing increasing rates of alcohol-related crime and high-risk events.
By publishing its annual regulatory priorities, L&GNSW aims to communicate the key regulatory issues that it is addressing and provide industry with an opportunity to proactively modify or cease behaviour that may raise concerns.
