SOFTSWISS Launches Independent Tool to Estimate Sports Betting Business Expenses

SOFTSWISS, a global tech provider with over 15 years of iGaming expertise, has launched the Sportsbook Budget Calculator, a free online tool designed to help operators estimate the costs of launching and running a sports betting business in 2025. The interactive calculator generates a 12-month financial projection based on user input, offering market players a data-driven foundation for strategic decision-making.
Built to support industry newcomers and experienced operators alike, the Sportsbook Budget Calculator by SOFTSWISS provides a transparent view of what it takes to enter or scale in the sports betting market. The calculator breaks down key cost categories across three core areas:
- Pre-launch expenses (licensing, development, setup)
- Operational costs (platform, team, marketing, infrastructure)
- Revenue estimates
Based on the data they enter, users receive a tailored projection of their expected profit and loss, based on a realistic business model.
To make the process intuitive, the tool guides users step by step, allowing them to adjust variables such as legal setup fees, software acquisition, team size, and ARPU.
A quick calculator mode is also available for high-level estimates based on just four inputs, making the tool suitable for early-stage planning as well as more detailed budgeting.
Users can also request a customisable spreadsheet pre-populated with their data for in-depth analysis via the same page.
“Our goal is to bring clarity to the complex process of launching a sportsbook,” says Victor Sekushenko, Head of Sales at SOFTSWISS Sportsbook. “With this calculator, we want to empower businesses of all sizes to explore new opportunities with confidence, using a data-informed approach. Whether you’re entering a new market or evaluating a vertical expansion, understanding your potential investment and return is critical.”
With the launch of this tool, SOFTSWISS continues to share its expertise and support the industry with practical, accessible resources. The company previously released the ‘iGaming Software Playbook’, a guide to building software from scratch or buying out of the box, as well as the ‘iGaming in South Africa’ market overview, and the annual ‘iGaming Trends’ report.
The Sportsbook Budget Calculator by SOFTSWISS is available for free on the company’s website.

As a founding partner since the channel’s launch in April 2021, Sky Bet will continue as the headline sponsor of The Overlap Interviews and Fan Debates, key formats that have helped the channel become a leading voice in football content.
Featuring in-depth conversations with major figures from sport and entertainment, as well as dynamic debates between football legends and fan creators, The Overlap has built a dedicated audience and strong community.

SPRIBE Drops Aviator Challenges

The world’s number one crash game gets even more thrilling with the addition of Missions, Races and Tournaments
SPRIBE, the award-winning developer behind the original crash game, Aviator, has added another tool to the box with the launch of Challenges, bringing even more excitement, entertainment and competition to the experience.
Aviator Challenges allows operators to launch Missions, Races and Tournaments, forging an additional competitive layer and even more social interaction, while providing a fresh way for players to engage with the game, which is now played by more than 60 million people per month.
Missions see players complete a task before a set deadline, while Races are similar but with a limited prize pool up for grabs, creating a strong sense of FOMO while helping operators control promo budgets. Tournaments then take the classic and well-loved format.
SPRIBE gives operators full control over creating and running Aviator Challenges, and they can choose the type, timing, prize, names, descriptions, colours, and tasks for deep personalisation and granular localisation.
Aviator Challenges has debuted with operators in Africa and will be rolled out globally over the coming weeks and months. This will be followed by the launch of regional tournaments, which again will debut in Africa before being made available internationally.
The launch of Challenges will drive even greater engagement with Aviator, which currently sees players place more than 400,000 bets per minute across 5,500+ online casinos and sportsbooks worldwide.
Giorgi Tsutskiridze, CCO at SPRIBE, said: “Challenges take the Aviator experience to a whole other level for both players and operators.
“Those that have already embraced Challenges have seen an immediate, positive impact on player behaviour across core KPIs such as retention and bet numbers per player.
“To get the most out of Challenges, operators do need to be creative, especially when it comes to marketing support, segmentation, prize zones, rewards and tasks.
“But we have ensured Challenges have the flexibility to do this and a whole lot more.
“Aviator is already the number one crash game in the world with more than 60 million players a month, but with Challenges, we expect that number to climb ever higher.”

“Skateboarding is more than sport – it’s fashion, music, culture, and raw energy. That’s exactly the space Stake loves to play in, and SLS is the perfect partner to bring that to life,” said Akhil Sarin, Chief Marketing Officer at Stake. “This alignment makes it an excellent partnership for our brand.”
