Soft2Bet has launched Swiper, Romania’s first online casino built around the swipe-driven design of social media apps. Designed for mobile users, Swiper blends intuitive navigation with casino gaming, making it easy for players to browse, choose, and enjoy thousands of titles with a simple swipe.

The product embraces a rising trend that brings together the best of casino entertainment and mobile gaming dynamics — fast, engaging, and tailored to today’s digital habits. At the heart of the project is short-form video content, a format familiar to all mobile users, which enhances interactivity and keeps the experience dynamic and immersive.

With over 75% of global users engaging with mobile applications for entertainment, Swiper meets players where they already are. Its interactive interface replicates intuitive gestures from known social apps, enabling users to effortlessly explore and customize their gaming universe, while the design caters to the mobile-native generation and reflects a keen awareness of evolving digital user behavior.

Fully powered by Soft2Bet’s proprietary MEGA (Motivational Engineering Gaming Application) technology, Swiper redefines user engagement, creating immersive, personalised interactions with every swipe. MEGA, developed entirely in-house by Soft2Bet, represents an independent and innovative technology dedicated to enhancing traditional gaming experiences with missions, challenges, and quests that encourage players to stay engaged for longer, increasing screen time and LTV.

The launch in the Romanian market builds upon Soft2Bet’s recent success with Don.Ro, a brand that was recently recognised as the “Best Launch of the Year 2024” at the 12th Meeting of Gambling Professionals by Casino Inside magazine. Leveraging the same powerful technology stack that propelled Don.Ro to prominence, Soft2Bet again demonstrates how its platform excellence consistently translates into compelling new market entries.

“As a leader in the iGaming industry, we know how to build strong brands, understand what our players truly want, and deliver products that resonate,” highlighted Yoel Zuckerberg, Chief Product Officer at Soft2Bet. “Our B2C launches serve as proof of concept for the strength of our technology, data-driven insights, and market knowledge. Swiper is a clear example of this approach in action, offering a standout experience tailored to Romanian players.”

Swiper introduces several key features to local players :

• One-handed swipe navigation for rapid game discovery
• Over 3000 Games, 50 Roulette tables, 120 Blackjack tables, table games, and live casino offerings
• Over 85,000 live and 70,000 pre-match sports betting events covering diverse sports markets with competitive odds
• Localised promotions tied directly to Romanian events and holidays
• The design is adapted to local player preferences and cultural context

Zuckerberg further commented, “Customer experience is our top priority. We know what today’s players want—they value speed, simplicity, and familiarity. With Swiper’s social approach, we’re excited to see how this fresh UI/UX impacts engagement and loyalty.”

Operating under a Class I licence from Romania’s National Gambling Office (ONJN), Swiper, powered by Soft2Bet’s expertise across 19 licences and 11 jurisdictions, guarantees a regulated, safe, and responsible gaming environment that meets stringent international standards. This strong regulatory foundation not only builds credibility for Swiper but also reflects Soft2Bet’s commitment to redefining modern gaming through scalable, innovative, data-driven solutions that enhance player retention across regulated markets, as evidenced by the success of brands like Betinia, CampoBet, QuickCasino, Don.ro, ElaBet, ToonieBet and others.

World’s most popular online casino sets industry standard for advanced, passwordless security  

Stake, the world’s most popular online casino and sportsbook, has become one of the first major iGaming operators to offer passkey login, giving users a faster and more secure way to access their accounts.

Passkey lets Stake users verify their login with biometrics or a device PIN, bypassing passwords and one-time codes altogether. This makes sign-in nearly instant, eliminates the hassle of password resets, and reduces vulnerability to phishing attacks.

Key benefits of passkey:

• Instant login with fingerprint, facial ID, or device PIN

• Streamlined sign-in—no passwords or codes to remember

• Dramatically reduces phishing-based takeovers

Stake’s passkey is built to the globally recognized FIDO standard, the same protocol used by the biggest names in tech. Microsoft reports a 98% sign-in success rate with passkeys, three times higher than with passwords. PayPal reported a 70% drop in account takeovers after replacing passwords with passkeys.

“In an industry where trust and security are paramount, the move to passkey was an obvious next step”, said Stake Head of Product Andrew Forte. “We’re setting a new benchmark for player protection and convenience, removing password risk and proving that the most secure experience can also be the easiest.”

Passkey offers impressive improvements in speed. According to Google, sign-in with passkey typically takes 15 seconds while passwords require 30 seconds, or twice as long. With Stake seeing over 100 billion bets a year, including during live events, passkey enables more responsive and real-time play.

Passkey rollout began in mid-September and will be gradually made available to all users via account settings in Stake.
