The year 2026 has commenced on a high note for SOFTSWISS, a leading name in the iGaming industry, as it secures the esteemed title of Best iGaming Platform Supplier of the Year at the European iGaming Awards held this January. This accolade reflects SOFTSWISS’s commitment to ensuring platform reliability, extensive product scaling, and fostering enduring partnerships with operators in both regulated and emerging markets. Such recognition underscores the groundbreaking technical foundation within the SOFTSWISS ecosystem, which boasts an impressive 99.999% uptime. This reliability ensures that operators can conduct uninterrupted, high-volume gaming operations, where system availability is crucial for daily functionality.
Portfolio Expansion and Robust Product Strategies
Driving SOFTSWISS's success in winning this award are significant advancements made throughout 2025. Notably, the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator experienced remarkable growth, now comprising over 40,000 live games supplied by renowned studios, all maintained with a keen focus on quality over sheer quantity. The aggregator ensures commercially viable content through stringent quality control mechanisms, meeting the diverse needs of operators worldwide. Furthermore, the Sportsbook product played a vital role in securing the award, as it offers seamless integration within a week on proprietary platforms and third-party systems. During the previous year, the Sportsbook revealed two Network Jackpot campaigns. The first campaign delivered a single payout of over 80,000 euros, while the subsequent campaign distributed more than 130,000 euros in prizes to multiple players and associated brands using the innovative Multi-Prizes feature.
Industry Acclaim and Forward-looking AI Initiatives
The prestigious award also highlights SOFTSWISS’s commitment to building transparent and dependable partnerships. Mykhailo Hrechyna, Head of Operations at SOFTSWISS Casino Platform, expressed the company's philosophy succinctly: 'This award is an important signal from the market that technological stability matters, but it's not enough. Operators value partners they can trust for transparency and predictability. Our focus has always been on building solutions that perform reliably and on maintaining open, honest relationships with partners. Recognition like this confirms that the industry values that approach.' Looking forward, SOFTSWISS has outlined an intent to enhance the partner experience within its ecosystem throughout 2026, a direction consistent with themes in its annual iGaming Trends report. This report identifies trust as a pivotal factor for sustainable growth in a progressively mature market landscape. Reflecting its strategic focus on technology, SOFTSWISS appointed Denis Romanovskiy as the company's inaugural Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer earlier in January. Romanovskiy brings extensive expertise, having accumulated over five years as Deputy Chief Technology Officer and serving in senior positions at EPAM Systems and Wargaming.net. In his new capacity, he steers the integration of an enterprise-grade AI platform. This platform is designed to enhance automation, data analysis, and decision-making across the organization, acting as a vital infrastructure layer that connects AI tools with internal systems while maintaining essential access control, auditability, and cost transparency. Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, emphasized the importance of this development: 'The creation of the Chief AI Officer role is a reflection of how critical artificial intelligence has become to the future of technology. AI is transforming how we build products, how businesses operate and how value is created. By investing early in a unified AI platform and dedicated leadership, SOFTSWISS is positioning itself at the forefront of this shift.'
