SOFTSWISS Helps Operators Save €6m in H1 2024

SOFTSWISS, a global tech company with over 15 years of experience in iGaming, reports that the Anti-Fraud team within its Managed Services helped clients secure around 6 million euro in H1 2024.
This result highlights a one-third reduction in the amount at risk compared to last year’s figures. By using advanced tools and methodologies to effectively mitigate fraud attempts, including bypassing restrictions and breaching terms, the Anti-Fraud team helps operators create a more secure operating environment.
In the first half of the year, the Anti-Fraud team handled around 54,000 tasks, including operator and verification requests, fraud and responsible gambling notifications. The amount of these requests was 8.5% lower than in H1 2023.
Ilya Nesterov, Anti-Fraud Team Lead, shares: “The most common types of fraud our team deals with are bonus abuse, identity theft and documents forgery, which account for almost 90% of all fraud cases. We are pleased to see the number of operators’ requests and fraud notifications slightly decreased this year. This trend also testifies to a more responsible attitude on the part of players.”
Simultaneously, the number of player complaints submitted to regulators or at industry forums increased by 12.4% year-on-year, reaching 118 for the first six months of 2024. Due to SOFTSWISS extensive expertise in analysing these cases, operators were able to resolve issues, saving their reputation and nearly 250 thousand euro.
The Anti-Fraud team recently implemented an innovative Risk Scoring Tool, capable of identifying potential issues in real time to take proactive measures and provide a safer gaming experience. By embracing new developments and leading responsible gaming practices, the SOFTSWISS team gained recognition in the Responsible Gaming category at the SiGMA Africa Awards.
Partners can book a meeting at the stand 12-F30 at the iGB Live! on 17–18 July to gain more insights on best responsible gambling practices and SOFTSWISS innovative solutions.

Veikkaus Continues Preparations for the Partial Multi-license System Set to Open in 2027

Reading Time: < 1 minute
Veikkaus is continuing its preparations for the partial multi-license system set to open in 2027. The company aims to remain the market leader in the Finnish gambling sector in the coming years.
Veikkaus has been systematically preparing for the future for a long time. Efforts to strengthen the company’s competitiveness are ongoing: Veikkaus will continue to focus on its core business and, through this, ensure growth in gross gaming revenue in a responsible way.
Many gambling companies aiming to enter the Finnish market are actively preparing to challenge Veikkaus when the licensing market opens.
“Competition will certainly be very tough, as many signs already indicate. Veikkaus is a strong company that will succeed in the competition, but as an organization, we must transform to meet the new situation,” said Reija Laaksonen, EVP, People, Culture and Communications at Veikkaus.
As part of the company’s strategy, Veikkaus will initiate change negotiations affecting three different functions. In total, at the time the negotiation proposal was given, 75 Veikkaus employees are within the scope of the negotiations. The planned measures could, if implemented, lead to personnel impacts as defined in Section 16 of the Act on Co-operation within Undertakings, such as redundancies or unilateral changes to essential terms of employment.
According to current estimates, the negotiations may result in the termination of a total of 20–31 employment contracts and substantial changes to the terms of employment for 20–30 employees. At the same time, it is planned that 22–28 new roles and positions will be created within the functions involved in the negotiations.
“When targeting possible measures, Veikkaus will pay particular attention to the requirements of business operations and ensuring competence in line with Veikkaus’ strategy. Any measures will be implemented in accordance with applicable legislation,” said Laaksonen.
