Cashout Cancellation and Timezone Management: SOFTSWISS Casino Platform Unveils Updates
The SOFTSWISS Casino Platform, an award-winning software for online casinos, releases two bonus features. Cashout cancellation bonus and Timezone management are aimed to influence two vital casino project metrics – engagement and retention.
Cashout Cancellation Bonus
The Cashout Cancellation Bonus allows players to receive a reward for cancelling their cashout requests. Players can cancel their entire cashout or choose to cancel 25%, 50%, or 75% of it. When a player cancels their cashout and receives the bonus, both the bonus funds and the cashout amount are locked in their account until the bonus wagered requirements are met. This feature is available for both the client’s and SOFTSWISS’ frontend platforms. Its primary function is to retain players.
Timezone Management Bonus Feature
The Timezone Management feature allows casinos to consider different time zones when issuing bonuses. Projects using the SOFTSWISS Casino Platform can specify time zones to issue or restrict bonuses to players within certain time zones. This feature aims to increase personalisation and engagement with the casino’s bonus policies, especially for casinos operating across multiple time zones.
Darya Avtukhovich, Head of SOFTSWISS Casino Platform, reflects on these updates: “Despite the many awards, we haven’t stopped to rest on our laurels. Player engagement and retention are crucial elements of an iGaming project’s business strategy. Acquisition costs are extremely high, which is why operators need to work closely with engagement and retention. We are putting much effort into further developing our product features that work towards these metrics.”
These new features are part of SOFTSWISS’ ongoing actions to enhance the company’s robust ecosystem of products for the online casino industry. For licensed operators looking for a complete software solution, the SOFTSWISS Turnkey Casino Solution offers a full suite of services to support smooth operations. To ensure a more successful project implementation in the competitive iGaming market, an operator can leverage Managed Services, which delivers a full range of B2C solutions as well as its own affiliate marketing program based on Affilka by SOFTSWISS platform.

SoftConstruct unveils RecSys AI game recommendation system at AIBC Eurasia
In an iGaming Real Talk interview in Dubai, the firm says the tool reads player emotion and context to guide operator actions.
SoftConstruct AI has unveiled RecSys, an AI Game Recommendation System, during an exclusive iGaming Real Talk interview recorded at AIBC Eurasia in Dubai on Thursday 30th April.
Mushegh Khachatryan, Chief AI Officer at SoftConstruct AI, said RecSys is designed to move beyond traditional recommendation models by interpreting player emotions in real time and accounting for context, with the goal of suggesting “the next best action” for operators. “You can understand your customer’s emotions in real time and suggest the next best action. We are building intelligent systems which can reason and act.”
Khachatryan said SoftConstruct built an AI Center of Excellence by hiring talent from outside the iGaming sector, and described RecSys as part of “production-ready agentic AI” intended to support personalised campaigns and decision automation. Surya Palli, host of iGaming Real Talk, said: “SoftConstruct is essentially building a Netflix-style personalised experience for the iGaming industry, where every player gets a lobby made just for them.”
Responsible gaming was also discussed, with the company claiming AI can detect risky behaviour faster and more consistently than human teams, and recommend timely breaks while balancing player protection with sustainable growth.
Khachatryan also stressed the need for explainable, controlled deployment. “AI should help teams perform five times better rather than replace them… Without proper boundaries, short-term momentum boosts with AI can actually hurt your company in the long term.” The company said operators can manage campaigns, personalisation and risk through chat interfaces, with at least 85% accuracy “from the first interactions,” and directed viewers to the full interview on the iGaming Real Talk YouTube channel.
