15 years ago, on 21 July, SOFTSWISS, a leading iGaming software provider, started its path in the industry. As the company celebrates its birthday, it is the perfect moment to reflect on SOFTSWISS breakthroughs that revolutionised iGaming.

Introducing Crypto in Gambling

Back in 2013, SOFTSWISS visionaries were the first to leverage the potential of digital currencies, leading the way for their integration into the iGaming industry. Recent research states that crypto payments represent a long-term trend profoundly influencing the dynamics of online gambling. Namely, in Q1’24, the Crypto Bet Sum demonstrated an over 20% growth year-on-year.

Collecting Richest Game Portfolio

Elevating Service Level

Leading Industry Expertise

SOFTSWISS’ profound expertise allowed it to become an industry pioneer in conducting comprehensive research in various iGaming verticals. Over the past three years, more than 20 industry reports were published, each garnering increasing interest. The 2024 iGaming Trends Report became the most sought-after, with over 3,000 downloads.

In 2024, SOFTSWISS appointed Rubens Barrichello as Non-Executive Director in Latin America. Valuable insights from another highly competitive field, business tips and advice regarding Brazilian business culture are now available for all iGaming stakeholders.

Revolutionising iGaming Marketing

SOFTSWISS realised the vibrant ‘Bringing the Heat’ and ‘Grab Success’ marketing campaigns in 2022 and 2023. Held in Malta, they have made a lasting impact on the discerning iGaming audience and allowed SOFTSWISS to gain the ‘B2B Marketing Campaign’ accolade at the esteemed EGR M&I Awards two times in a row.

Developing Player Welfare

SOFTSWISS innovative advancements led to the creation of an automated Risk Scoring Tool. The instrument detects suspicious player activity, setting a new standard of player welfare. The innovation was rewarded at the SiGMA Africa Awards in the Responsible Gaming Category.

Promoting Social Responsibility

Over the past three years, SOFTSWISS has invested millions of euro in charitable initiatives.

The company provided immediate aid to those affected and organised long-term support for the region’s recovery. Additionally, SOFTSWISS initiated a unique campaign inviting industry players to join the effort, which received widespread support from the iGaming media.

“Such meaningful evolutionary changes are a credit to the SOFTSWISS talented experts. Personally, I am immensely proud of having built an exceptional team.

We have the most cohesive and ethically sound team in the industry,” summarises Founder of SOFTSWISS, Ivan Montik.

Standards body the Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) has represented the regulated betting and gaming sector at a shadow DCMS roundtable held on Tuesday.

The roundtable, titled: Future of the Gambling Industry in the United Kingdom, drew industry leaders together to explore key issues including responsible gambling, regulatory developments and the future of the sector.

CEO Grainne Hurst represented the BGC at the summit, hosted by Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Stuart Andrew MP and Shadow Minister for Gambling Louie French MP inside the House of Common’s Shadow Cabinet Room.

BGC CEO Grainne Hurst said: “It was fantastic to sit down alongside our members and other stakeholders from across our diverse sector to thrash out the challenges and opportunities facing the sector today with the shadow DCMS team.

“We are incredibly fortunate to have Stuart Andrew and Louie French, two dedicated MPs who understand this industry, and are keen to ensure the Opposition are completely across the key pressures facing our members, their millions of customers, and thousands of employees.

“Collaboration is key for the BGC, and we welcome this positive engagement with the shadow DCMS team.”

The roundtable also focussed on balancing economic growth with consumer protections and social responsibility.

Following welcome remarks, the summit heard industry’s perspectives on current challenges and future opportunities plus ways in which the Opposition can support future policy.

Grainne attended alongside representatives from BGC members, Flutter, Entain, Evoke, bet365, Bally’s, The Rank Group, Star Sports and the Hippodrome Casino, plus the UK Tote Group, National Lottery, BACTA and the Gambling Business Group.

BGC members support 109,000 jobs, generate £6.8bn for the economy while raising £4bn in taxes.

Allwyn UK, operator of The National Lottery, has announced that it has secured the European Lotteries (EL) Responsible Gaming Certification, as well as Level 4 of the World Lottery Association’s (WLA) Responsible Gaming Framework – the highest possible level.

The responsible gaming accreditations from these leading industry bodies help ensure that members of these organisations – like Allwyn and other lottery operators worldwide – operate their licensed lotteries with the highest standards of player protection and safety. They also reflect how successfully a lottery has implemented responsible play into its day-to-day operations.

These industry-standard certifications demonstrate Allwyn’s firm commitment to participant protection – with a continuous programme of work to prevent underage and excessive play from the outset.

Allwyn’s CEO, Andria Vidler, said: “Just over a year on from taking over as The National Lottery operator, we’re delighted to announce that we’ve achieved these important EL and WLA Responsible Gaming Certifications.

“National Lottery games are specially designed to be safe and secure, ensuring they don’t appeal to underage or vulnerable players. However, with over 30 million people routinely playing National Lottery games – raising over £30 million a week for Good Causes in the process – it’s crucial that we continue to do everything we can to prevent underage and excessive play.

“So, it’s great to have this external recognition of what we’ve achieved so far, but we also know that our work in this area is never finished. We plan to continue working hard on our responsible play credentials and driving up our own high standards, keeping National Lottery players at the heart of everything we do.”
