What Operators Expect From Tech Providers? Kantar Survey Insights for SOFTSWISS
How to stay ahead in the face of fierce competition? SOFTSWISS, a leading tech provider with over 15 years of experience in iGaming, shares fresh insights from a customer survey conducted by Kantar in November 2024.
With around 25% of the world’s population ever involved in iGaming, according to Global Gambling Statistics, the industry hosts thousands of projects and hundreds of software developers. To gain data-driven insights into the needs and expectations of iGaming operators, SOFTSWISS invited Kantar, the world’s leading analytics agency, to conduct a comprehensive customer survey.
Expertise Comes First
The survey revealed the top 5 most important characteristics for iGaming operators when choosing a technology supplier:
- High level of professionalism and expertise in the team
- Security of operations at all stages
- Supplier’s long-term and reliable reputation
- Flexible approach to collaboration terms
- Creation of new opportunities for business revenue growth
Notably, many of the characteristics highlighted by respondents in the Kantar survey align closely with those outlined in the recent iGaming Trends 2025 Report.
Fewer operators prioritise a strong client portfolio and responsible gambling initiatives, as these are not viewed as immediate business drivers and have a less direct impact on operator success. Furthermore, responsible gambling tools are mandatory under licensing requirements in many jurisdictions, making them a standard feature in the offerings of licensed providers.
Valentina Bagniya, Chief Marketing Officer at SOFTSWISS, comments: “Delivering exceptional products starts with a profound understanding of client needs and expectations. That’s why marketing research and customer surveys are integral to daily operations. By sharing valuable insights with our partners and competitors, we actively contribute to driving innovation and growth across the industry”.
Sources of iGaming Insights
According to respondents, the top 5 sources of information about the iGaming industry are:
- Recommendations from colleagues, partners
- Industry news resources
- Company websites that provide products and services
- Employees of partner companies
The importance of companies’ websites almost tripled compared to the previous year’s results. Similarly, the value of recommendations also increased significantly, climbing from fourth place to the top of the ranking.
“The trend of growing recommendations’ importance extends beyond the iGaming industry. In 2024, consumers are navigating an overwhelming media flow, where much information gets lost. While brands still communicate actively, capturing audiences has become harder. Personal connections are becoming more significant, offering a more direct and trusted way to reach consumers,” shares Kateryna Kaliuzhna, Senior Client Partner at Kantar.
The primer position of recommendations underscores the growing importance of partnerships and networks, highlighting the value of community-driven insights from trusted experts. This dominance also amplified the role of news resources and company websites, which serve as key channels for industry professionals to share their expertise. These shifts reflect a broader trend towards trust, transparency, and the demand for credible, easily accessible information in the rapidly evolving iGaming market.

SOFTSWISS is an international technology company with over 15 years of experience in developing innovative solutions for the iGaming industry. SOFTSWISS holds a number of gaming licences and provides comprehensive software for managing iGaming projects.

GIANTX unveils its team for the Spanish Superliga of League of Legends
The global esports organization GIANTX has officially presented the roster for its League of Legends Superliga team, the most prestigious esports competition in Spain, organized by the LVP. The roster includes Feisty (midlaner) and Aetinoth (ADC), who continue for another year after establishing themselves as key players for the organization, and newcomers Badlulu (toplaner), Ferret (jungler), and Lospa (support).
The team, known as GIANTX Pride, will be led by Fearless, a veteran coach who has already won three Superliga titles with GIANTX. After previous stints with teams like Guasones and Rebels, Fearless returns to lead this young and promising roster as they pursue the organization’s long-awaited eighth Superliga trophy, with the season set to begin in January 2025.
The roster was revealed during an event at the Home of GIANTX in Málaga, attended by over 150 fans and supported by Opel, the team’s main partner in the Superliga. The event featured activities, giveaways, and a showmatch against Barça Esports, where fans got a first glimpse of the team in action.
Feisty (South Korea, 2003) and Aetinoth (Turkey, 2005) return for another year, having gained recognition as rising talents with potential for the LEC, Europe’s premier competition in which GIANTX also competes. Badlulu (France, 2002), with prior experience in the Superliga at CASE Esports, joins as the toplaner. Ferret (Turkey, 2001), a promising jungler from the Turkish scene, comes from FUT, while Lospa (South Korea, 2002), a former Iberian Cup champion, joins as support after training in Gen.G Academy.
GIANTX Pride is the most decorated organization in Superliga LVP history, with seven titles to its name. The last victory came in the summer of 2021, and the team is determined to add the elusive eighth trophy to its collection. The Superliga for 2025 will feature ten teams, including Barça Esports, Guasones, Los Heretics, LUA Gaming, Movistar KOI, Ramboot Club, UCAM Esports, VENI VIDI VICI, and ZETA, competing across three splits—winter, spring, and summer.
The LVP, part of Grupo Mediapro, has introduced changes to the Superliga’s format for 2025. The updated calendar will be released soon, setting the stage for another thrilling season.
