About 85 million people around the globe daily play at social casinos according to the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
The largest by the number of slot games European social casino, SpinArena.net, provided by Ously Games GmbH, has seen its player base triple since the beginning of 2023, surpassing 700 thousand players. With a collection of over 3,000 games from almost 40 providers, the casino reached a one million euro annual turnover.
Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, comments on the agreement: “Anticipating the development of social casinos within the iGaming industry, SOFTSWISS made strategic investments to diversify its portfolio. Together, we aim to create a comprehensive platform for social casinos, enriching the robust ecosystem of iGaming products provided by our company.”

The phenomenon sets new industry standards and offers players an unparalleled, safer gaming experience by providing a unique blend of gaming, social engagement, and innovation.

Vindral and Sportswik have formed a collaboration to enhance next-generation sports broadcasting with ultra-low latency, superior quality, and worldwide scalability. Sportswik will utilize Vindral Live as its primary live streaming platform to provide real-time sports content to fans and partners around the globe through this collaboration.
Established by a group of Swedish technologists more than ten years ago, Vindral offers a high-performance live video and streaming platform designed for contemporary live broadcasting settings, where quality, control, innovation, and scalability are essential. Vindral Live is a proven low-latency CDN service providing sub-second delivery, precise frame synchronisation, and reliable quality on a large scale. The platform is prepared for the future, having embraced Media over QUIC, a developing internet standard for live media transmission.
Sportswik offers white label applications and media platforms that enable federations, leagues, clubs, and teams, across both grassroots and professional tiers, to create content, engage fans, and generate new revenue while maintaining control over their content and data. Sportswik drives app and media platforms such as Min Fotboll, the official application of the Swedish Football Association. Min Fotboll, with 9% of Sweden’s population registered, facilitates user-generated content for 130,000 matches each year, featuring lineups, real-time scores, photos, videos, and interactive elements such as comments and cheering. In 2025, nearly 14,000 matches were broadcast live via the Min Fotboll app, AI cameras, or professional streaming gear.
“Sports is at its best when it is shared in the moment,” says Martin Wiklund, Founder of Sportswik.
“Our platform lets families, friends, and fans follow the matches that they are passionate about. Vindral Live allows us to synchronise scores and streams in real time, at scale and without compromise. It eliminates the frustration of goal notifications arriving before the action, setting a new standard for digital sports experiences.”
By combining Sportswik’s content and fan engagement platform with Vindral’s ultra-low latency live streaming technology, the two companies create a compelling offering for viewers and sports enthusiasts globally. Fans can experience live sports with minimal delay, synchronised playback and reliable performance, even during high-traffic events.

The partnership enhances Vindral’s status as a reliable technology ally for sports, broadcast, and live media firms pursuing unparalleled live streaming capabilities.

BetConstruct AI Co-Founder Vigen Badalyan Unveils Choice Gaming and KISS AI Live Casino at Landmark Harmony Choice Event
On the eve of the industry’s largest gathering at ICE Barcelona, BetConstruct AI officially launched the 2026 iGaming season with Harmony Choice, an exclusive event held at one of Barcelona’s most iconic venues. During the meetup, BetConstruct AI Co-founder Vigen Badalyan took center stage to deliver two industry-shaping announcements: the official launch of the next-gen studio Choice Gaming and the debut of the revolutionary KISS AI Live Casino.
Choice Gaming: The New Model of Game Ownership
The highlight of the evening was the official launch of Choice Gaming, a next-generation development studio built on the principle of operator independence. Unlike traditional models, Choice Gaming offers operators full rights, full control, and lifetime access to its titles, essentially allowing them to “own” the content they host.
The platform has seen unprecedented immediate adoption, currently live on over 1,000 websites. Mr. Badalyan revealed an aggressive roadmap for the first quarter of 2026, with Choice Gaming projected to be integrated into over 5,000 websites by the end of February.
Key Features of the Choice Gaming Ecosystem:
- Next-Gen Flexibility: High-quality slots, instant, and crash games built with HTML5 for seamless performance across mobile, tablet, and desktop.
- Global Reach: Content is available in 20+ languages with 24/7 technical support.
- Promotional Power: Built-in tools including real-time leaderboards, in-game promotions, and automated free spin campaigns.
- Exclusive Incentive: To reward early partners, BetConstruct AI announced that every 51st integrator will receive the entire Choice Gaming slot portfolio free of charge for one year.
Where Football Culture Meets the Crash: Evra Crash
Expanding on the Choice Gaming portfolio, the event featured the debut of Evra Crash, an exclusive collaboration with football legend Patrice Evra. This title bridges the gap between sports culture and casino gaming, featuring Evra as a central character to bring authority and familiarity to the experience.
Designed for the modern, social player, Evra Crash features multiplayer-by-design mechanics where all players enter the same round simultaneously, creating a shared, networked environment. The title is fully optimized for both mobile users and land-based solutions, ensuring continuity of experience regardless of where the player connects.
Revolutionizing the Dealer Experience: KISS AI Live Casino
The event also marked the world debut of KISS AI Live Casino, the industry’s first AI-first live casino software. Moving away from static studios, KISS AI allows operators to adapt the table, the dealer, and the visual environment in real time.
What Makes KISS AI Different:
- Intelligent Adaptation: The system allows operators to define and adjust dealer appearance, ethnicity, clothing, and background environments instantly to suit specific brand identities or regional markets.
- AI-Governed Dealers: Advanced AI governs dealer interaction, ensuring a consistent and personalized live presence without the logistical constraints of traditional physical studios.
- Initial Lineup: The suite launches with six distinct AI-powered experiences: KISS Roulette AI Alisa, Charlie, Defne, Maria, Rose, and Seo-Yan.
To accelerate global adoption, any partner that integrates the platform by February 25 will receive the KISS AI Live Casino free for one year.
Seamless Integration via Open API
Ensuring that partners can scale at the speed of the market, Open API integration became available on Choice Gaming as of January 19. The new system features streamlined online contract sign-offs, allowing for instant deployment and minimal technical friction.
“At Choice Gaming, we aren’t just building games; we are building a foundation of transparency and shared success,” said Vigen Badalyan. “By merging human creativity with advanced AI, we are giving operators the tools to truly own their future.”
