As per modest estimates of Business Research Insights, the global social casino games market is projected to reach 10 billion euro by 2030. 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.”
Ously Games GmbH founder Jochen Martinez shares his expectations: “We are delighted to forge a strategic partnership with the global technology provider SOFTSWISS.

Collaborating with SOFTSWISS opens new horizons and ensures access to top-notch resources and support essential for thriving in the competitive iGaming landscape.”

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.

BGaming
BGaming Raises €200,000 for DAR Bjorn with its Second Annual Charity Gala
Industry leaders and the local community united in Malta for an evening of meaningful impact
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is proud to announce the success of its second Charity Gala, held at The Phoenicia Malta on May 29 in support of DAR Bjorn. Bringing together more than 400 guests from across the iGaming industry, the local business community, and Maltese society, the event raised over €200,000 for the neurological home and the people it supports.
Ian Borg, Malta’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism, was also in attendance, underscoring the importance of the Charity Gala’s mission to support DAR Bjorn and its contribution to the Maltese community.
DAR Bjorn is Malta’s neurological home, providing care and support for people living with ALS, MS, and other severe neurological conditions. Founded by former iGaming professional Bjorn Formosa following his ALS diagnosis at the age of 28, the organisation now cares for 60 residents while supporting more than 800 people throughout the country.
The funds raised by this year’s event will go directly towards equipping DAR Bjorn’s new Respite Centre with essential medical care and equipment. As part of its ongoing commitment to DAR Bjorn, BGaming is dedicating all money raised to the cause, with the studio covering the event’s operating costs.
One of the meaningful parts of this year’s initiative was a special merchandise collection co-created by Portuguese street artist Gonçalo MAR and residents of DAR Bjorn. Inspired by their stories and creative contributions, the collection gave them the opportunity to become active participants in the project. The merchandise was first unveiled at NEXT Summit Valletta and later made available online in exchange for donations. The initiative raised €5,000 for DAR Bjorn, extending the Gala’s impact beyond a single evening.
BGaming would like to extend its sincerest thanks to all partners whose generosity and support made this year’s Charity Gala possible, including NEXT.io, which was an official media partner for the event.
MyAffiliates were the event’s Golden Partner, while 1spin4win, Finteq Hub, Amusnet Gaming, and TaDa Gaming were Bronze Partners. Supporting Partners included Flutter International, Alea, SiGMA, Focus Gaming News, The Phoenicia Malta, Booming Games, Internet Vikings, Behind the Gloves, EGT Digital and SWAG42.
Marina Ostrovtsova, CEO at BGaming, said, “When we organized the first Charity Gala last year, we simply wanted to help DAR Bjorn and do something meaningful together as an industry. We never imagined it would grow into such a powerful annual initiative.
What inspires me most is not only the amount raised, but the people behind it. Seeing companies that normally compete come together for one shared purpose says a lot about our industry and the kind of community BGaming has built around it.
The impact of this evening goes far beyond fundraising. It helps improve the lives of people at DAR Bjorn, but it also reminds all of us that we have the ability to create meaningful change when we work together.”
Maria Formosa, the executive secretary of ALS Malta and the wife of ALS activist Bjorn Formosa, said, “Charity Gala by BGaming showed the extraordinary impact that can be achieved when the gaming industry unites behind a meaningful cause. The generosity shown throughout the evening will directly help us equip new rooms in our respite home and improve the lives of people living with neurological conditions. It was truly another memorable night in a magical venue filled up with beautiful souls who believed in our mission.
We are profoundly grateful to BGaming, to Madame Lubov for her hard and meticulous work she did once again for the success of the event, to the support received from Next.io and every supporter who helped turn compassion into action.”
