iSoftBet Goes Live in Newly Regulated Swiss iGaming Market

Leading online and mobile casino provider, iSoftBet, has announced plans to enter the newly regulated Swiss iGaming market.

The jurisdiction opened doors to licensed gambling operators on July 1st.

Switzerland has recently decided to block all foreign-based online casino and betting sites. However, at the same time, the state is also allowing Swiss companies to offer online gambling for the first time.

One of the goals of the new law is to help combat gambling addiction which is said to cost the small nation over half a billion francs a year. The law will also allow the Swiss government to collect tax online gambling activities.

Going Live from the 1st of July:

iSoftBet will provide the country’s newly licensed operators with over 70 of its proprietary slot titles including recent releases like Hot Spin, Book of Immortals, Lucky Stripes, and Jumbo Stampede.

The developer also has a vast catalog of proprietary and licensed games which may become available to punters in Switzerland very soon.

The country will be the 16th market opening for the developer who already offers its products in the UK, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Alderney, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and others.

Michael Probert, Chief Commercial Officer at iSoftBet, said:

“We’ve had a phenomenal 12 months with a host of leading brands working with us in newly regulated markets due to the quality and breadth of our proprietary and third-party content, and the speed and efficiency with which we help operators launch in new territories. We’re very excited with the potential of the Swiss market and what the future holds as iSoftBet continues to go from strength-to-strength.”

To which Mark Halstead, Compliance Manager at iSoftBet, added: “This is another landmark moment for the business showing how ahead of the curve we are in entering the latest regulated and regulating markets with the biggest brands.
