SOFTSWISS, a global provider of innovative iGaming solutions with over 15 years of experience, held the first SOFTSWISS Excellence Talks event at the company’s main office in Poznań. This new quarterly initiative aimed at cultivating a strong local community of professionals and strengthening ties with leading educational institutions.

The opening event featured a keynote address by Andrey Starovoitov, Co-CEO of SOFTSWISS, who welcomed attendees, and a special appearance by Rubens Barrichello, Formula 1 legend and Non-Executive Director in Latin America at SOFTSWISS. Barrichello inspired the audience with a motivational speech, participated in a lively Q&A session, and awarded prizes for the most thought-provoking questions raised during the discussion.

During his address, Rubens Barrichello shared insights from his illustrious career in motorsport, highlighting the parallels between strategic planning, decision-making, and teamwork in competitive racing and the principles needed to build high-performing teams, drive business growth, and achieve personal development.

Rubens Barrichello, Non-Executive Director in Latin America at SOFTSWISS, adds: “Launching the SOFTSWISS Excellence Talks initiative in Poland is particularly inspiring, given that one-third of our team is based here. This initiative allows us to share our experiences, create new growth opportunities, and collaborate with specialists and educational institutions. I am confident this project will become a hub for knowledge exchange and make a meaningful contribution to the region’s development.” 

SOFTSWISS Excellence Talks will be held quarterly, focusing on themes such as technology, innovation, and leadership competencies.

Justin Simporios is normally a sound sleeper who “can fall asleep anywhere” – but he had a very sleepless night, after learning he won an $80-million Lotto Max jackpot from the May 9, 2025 draw. This is the largest lottery jackpot ever won in B.C. and is also the largest jackpot ever won by a single individual in Canada.  

“It was 10:30 p.m.,” recalled Simporios of the moment he realized he won. “I saw that someone won $80 million in Surrey. I was joking and told my wife ‘we’re millionaires!’ and she told me to stop making that joke. After, I manually checked each number before scanning [using the BCLC Lotto! I cried and shouted, ‘we’re millionaires!’” 

The Surrey resident woke up his wife to share the news. “She was in complete disbelief and a bit mad at me because our daughter wasn’t feeling well.” Simporios’ wife luckily agreed this was a good reason to wake her.  

While still in disbelief about his win, Simporios is ultimately most excited to share his windfall with his family. “I want to help my family and my wife’s family. I’ll pay off my sister’s medical school debt and help my mom retire early – just giving my family a head start in life.”  

Giving back to the community in Surrey and B.C. is also a key priority for Simporios. “I’ve struggled before and needed help. Even if I can give an ounce of happiness, I want to help where we can. This feels like a dream.”  

As an avid LA Lakers fan, Simporios mentioned he would like to see LeBron James play before James retires. He also plans to visit his family in the Philippines for a family reunion. “My wife and kid have never visited!”   

On how it feels to win a record-breaking jackpot?   

“The biggest change will be having more time with my wife and family. We want to live with a purpose – to help the community around us.”  

Simporios purchased the winning ticket at the Walmart Supercentre in Central City on King George Boulevard in Surrey. 

So far in 2025, B.C. lottery players have redeemed more than $101 million from Lotto Max. Lotto Max is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Tuesdays and Fridays after 7:30 p.m. (PST).  

Players can purchase tickets at lottery retailers or at PlayNow.com. Winning numbers and group release forms can be found online at www.bclc.com. Players can check their lottery tickets anytime, anywhere on iOS and Android devices. Learn more about the BCLC Lotto! 

BCLC offers socially responsible gambling entertainment while generating income to benefit all British Columbians. Players can visit PlayNow.com to learn how to set time and money limits.

Join us for the Morning Networking Run in Vilnius: All paces are welcome – just bring your energy and running shoes!

 

Meet Your Running Guide: Živilė Šerkšnaitė

This year, the MARE BALTICUM Gaming & TECH Summit 2025 is taking that ethos to new heights – or, shall we say, new strides.

On May 28th at 07:30 AM, attendees are invited to join a Morning Networking Run across scenic Vilnius, guided by none other than Živilė Šerkšnaitė – Ultramarathoner, Artist, Mountaineer, and all-around human powerhouse.

A Legacy of Movement…

HIPTHER introduced Morning Networking Runs in 2022, bringing early risers together for invigorating starts in Prague, Riga, Budapest, and Warsaw. The initiative was met with open arms (and elevated heart rates), prompting us to add Morning Yoga Sessions in 2023, creating moments of calm and clarity before packed agendas.

These aren’t just wellness gimmicks. They reflect our deep commitment to human-centric growth, nurturing not just minds, but bodies and spirits too. Because in our world, strong connections are built not just in panels and presentations, but on running paths, yoga mats, and bike routes.

So whether you’re lacing up your sneakers or strapping on your helmet, we can’t wait to move with you in Vilnius!

 

…Beyond Conferences

To help our community stay active beyond conference days, we’ve also created two growing digital wellness spaces – where movement meets motivation:

👟 HIPTHER’s iGaming & TECH Run Club on Strava brings together runners from across the industry who are eager to stay fit, share their achievements, and inspire each other. Whether you’re training for your next 10K or just enjoying a weekend jog, this is your place to connect.

🚴 And now, for the pedal-powered pros and weekend wanderers alike, we’re proud to introduce the brand new iGaming & TECH Cycling Club. Hop on your bike, track your rides, and cycle alongside fellow gaming & tech professionals – virtually and globally.

Join the movement here:

Let’s run, ride, and rise – together! #hipthers
