The Q1 analysis indicates a marked preference amongst bettors for real-time wagering. This trend enhances engagement and offers sports betting operators higher margins and quicker capital turnover, demonstrating live betting as one of the key drivers of profitability in the sports betting domain.

Moreover, the transition from desktop to mobile continues to accelerate, with mobile devices accounting for 90% of the GGR, up from 86% the previous year. This trend highlights the growing importance of mobile-friendly betting solutions. It also suggests that operators prioritising mobile integration and user experience are likely to capture a larger market share.

A look at the top sports by GGR shows a stable interest in traditional favourites with some notable shifts. Football remains dominant, while tennis has overtaken basketball for the second spot. The inclusion of American football in the top five, primarily driven by the Super Bowl in February, reflects the impact of major sporting events on betting behaviour. Ice hockey remains strong, underscoring the sport’s consistent appeal to bettors.

Alexander Kamenetskyi, Head of SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, reflects on these developments: “The trends we’ve observed in Q1’24 emphasise our platform’s adaptability and growth while also underscoring critical dynamics in player preferences and technological advancements. Our focus on enhancing live and mobile betting capabilities directly responds to these insights, aiming to provide our partners and their customers with superior betting experiences.”

In Q1’24, the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook continued its growth trajectory. Turnover surged by 246% compared to Q1’23, while month-on-month growth from Q4’23 reached 136%. Revenue also saw a staggering increase, jumping 251% year-on-year and maintaining a consistent month-on-month growth of 136%. These figures highlight the platform’s growing popularity and its increasing efficiency and appeal to operators.

Aiming to strengthen the industry, the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook team has recently published a free Sportsbook Budget Calculator, helping businesses considering launching a sports betting project to calculate the costs and benefits. Also, in celebration of its 15th anniversary, SOFTSWISS is offering new Sportsbook clients free access to the Jackpot Aggregator for all local jackpot campaigns for the first 150 days after launch.

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, is heading to SBC Summit Lisbon 2025, where it will celebrate eight years of innovation, partnerships, and standout content in the iGaming industry.

Now home to a portfolio of over 250 titles, Evoplay has climbed to the top tier of the industry by consistently pushing boundaries across slot, instant, crash, table, lottery and skill-based verticals.

Visitors to the stand can take a spin on the Wheel of Fortune, and enjoy signature cocktails inspired by Evoplay’s most iconic games, while a special activity is also planned exclusively for Evoplay’s partners.

The past year saw growth in both Evoplay product portfolio and platforms for partners. Evoplay launched new game types, including its first lottery game, Adrenaline Rush: Scratch, and a football-themed instant game, the latest edition in the Penalty Shoot-out trilogy which combines the best elements of the previous two titles, Penalty Shoot-out: Super Cup. Evoplay also continued to innovate with games featuring new mechanics for the iGaming world like Hot Slice and Tap Craze, which especially appeal to modern players.

One of the most notable achievements was Uncrossable Rush, the studio’s first co-developed title created in partnership with the analytics platform SlotCatalog. Based on SlotCatalog’s deep player insights and data analysis, combined with Evoplay’s innovative design and technical expertise, Uncrossable Rush represents a fresh approach to game creation.

Beyond games, the studio introduced several platform updates, including an enhanced Client Area, and the launch of an all-in-one Affiliate Hub – a platform which provides Evoplay’s media and affiliate partners with access to exclusive materials of Evoplay’s innovative slots and instant games. The company also introduced Evoplay Media, a resource that shares the latest company news, insightful articles with industry experts, and other valuable content.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “SBC Summit Lisbon is the perfect stage to celebrate eight incredible years of Evoplay. This year’s show is all about saying thank you to our clients, partners, and players, and inviting them to share in the energy and creativity that drives everything we do.

Reflecting on the company’s new NASPL membership, Colin Cole-Johnson, Chief Executive Officer at Bede Gaming, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be joining NASPL as an Associate Member. As a company that’s passionate about supporting lottery customers in achieving their digital transformation goals, this membership provides an opportunity for us to further demonstrate our capabilities and do so in alignment with the highest industry standards.

“Bede is looking forward to working closely with NASPL members and partners to learn about the challenges that they face. Our goal is to explore how our pioneering platform technology can best support their needs, while also contributing to the broader advancement of the lottery industry.”

The NASPL ’25 Annual Conference and Tradeshow this month presents the first opportunity for Bede to do precisely that, with many NASPL members attending, including event host and current Bede partner, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG).

As existing members of both the World Lottery Association and European Lotteries, Bede holds a strong commitment to supporting the future of the industry through innovative digital solutions. In the North American market, this is exemplified by the company’s ongoing successful partnership with OLG, which was a key factor in the decision to pursue NASPL membership and a move that was wholeheartedly supported by the provincial lottery.

“Bede has been a trusted partner to OLG for five years, providing us with innovative products and technical solutions that continue to enhance the digital lottery experience for our players in Ontario,” confirmed Andrew Darley, VP of iCasino and iLottery at OLG. “We were happy to recommend them for this esteemed membership and believe that by joining NASPL, they’ll now have the perfect platform to showcase how their expertise can assist the industry going forward.”
