NSoft: Doing Business in Q1 2021: COO overview
In the first quarter of 2021, NSoft’s business operations marked growth in all the key areas despite the global COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns.
By Dražan Planinić, NSoft COO
Our overall business turnover grew by 13% compared to Q1 2020, with online being the stronghold of the business with 59% growth in Q1 2021. There was an exceptional growth on our Sportsbook software – the online traffic doubled compared to the same quarter last year.
The best performing product in the total number of tickets was Live Sports Betting solution on online/mobile on every market, with a turnover increase of 75% in Q1 2021 compared to Q1 2020.
The teamwork and commitment of all of us are showing their strength. We have always been known for a strong sense of community within the company and strong ties to the customers. We see them as our long-term partners with whom we thrive together.
In the long run, our primary focus is a further development of the betting game portfolio and new features of the existing betting solutions, entering new markets, and quality over quantity.
Where software meets hardware
The biggest hit that marked Q1 2021 is the finalisation of the merging process of STARK Solution to NSoft. Internally, this change straightens our position in terms of the workforce as well as financially as it adds another stream of revenue – and it’s a quite valuable one. A manufacturer of premium betting terminals, STARK added a high-quality hardware component to our diversified betting and gaming software development business for the betting and gaming industry. This is the definition of being an omnichannel supplier!
Despite the lock-down, the new normal, pandemic, land-based business will thrive. Our pole position gives our partners and us tremendous flexibility in planning and business dynamics. NSoft-STARK synergy has generated great deals in the first three months of 2021. Despite the numerous problems caused by the pandemic: restrictions on travel and transport, closing of retail shops, we managed to deliver our terminals to Poland, Croatia, Belgium, Germany, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro among others.
New strongholds, new customers
A few crucial projects were running simultaneously in Q1 2021 although there are still travel restrictions caused by the lockdown.
The first quarter marked the entering into four new markets and acquisition of 14 new clients from France, Central African Republic, Dominican Republic, Turkey, and few others. Word of mouth is strong even without physical presence, trade shows, and very limited travelling options. This shows our strength and the power of our brand.
We’re at the forefront of new markets and at the same time strengthening our presence and working on new projects in the traditionally strong CEE market.
Tech improvements, new offering and features
Q1 2021 was very hectic when we talked about new products and new features. We have updated our internal processes from the tech side and introduce even more strict security rules and policies. This activity is part of our regular work in this field. We regularly perform stress tests as we understand the importance of this business aspect and the impact not just on us but also on our clients.
Lightning games
In Q1 2021, the Lightning games have seen the light of the day. This addition to the portfolio was a logical step in the overall strategy dedicated to enhance online channel offering.
They were developed to provide online players with a better user experience and give our partners the flexibility to place them into virtual or casino categories. The possibility of putting them in both categories: virtual games and casino games is something which our partners highly praised.
Lightning Lucky Six and Lightning Roulette are faster and simplified versions of our popular games, which have been on the throne of our product offer for a long time thanks to great user experience and wide acceptance of the products.
Lottery
NSoft Lottery is also a novelty in our product range. With this product, we wanted to satisfy players who like to bet on real lottery draws worldwide. So, we have a full solution based on Betradar’s Unified Odds Feed on over 6,500 events per week from over 30 countries.
NSoft Slots – the all-new exciting world of games
We are incredibly proud of the fact that we have mapped the road for entering the world of slots. NSoft Casino is a novelty that we want to present for the first time to our partners, who have so far only been able to integrate various casino games on our platform. Now, we can boast with our in-house slot games that will be on the market soon, but we’ll talk more about that in the Q2 of 2021.
Boosted NSoft Sportsbook Platform
We have raised the Sportsbook Platform to a new level on all channels with new functionalities, and we continue with the Cash Out feature. Cash Out is a must-have, and the existing clients have already upgraded the Sportsbook to a new UX version that includes it.
In retail, we are still one step ahead of our competition and have brought our retail solution to perfection. We’re following the same steps to reach the same level on all other delivery channels. With remote device manager, we are offering a sportsbook software solution for land-based operators like no other on the market.
NSoft Vision
Our AI boosted video management system for surveillance and business analytics is not a rising star any more. It is a mature product, market-ready with a small but steadily growing client base and a strong reseller and partner base. New features, new experts working daily on improvements and expansion to the European market made a lot of buzz around NSoft Vision.
Q1 result predicts a very successful year
Even after the first quarter, we can recognise the global direction results we are aiming for. We are investing in cooperations with other platform providers such as Playtech, iSoftBet, EveryMatrix, Blue Ocean Gaming, Oryx and many others.
The business growth and the team morale keep us going. We are finishing a new round of the onboard process for our new 20 colleagues with 13 more to join our team in the following days. New people always bring new ideas and energy, so we are looking forward to an exciting summer with EURO 2020. New normal is different for anyone, and our is: keep up, go strong, do smart!

Amanda Slonzon VP of Compliance and Regulatory Strategy at RubyPlay
RubyPlay’s US Playbook – Turning compliance into a growth engine

After securing entry into its second US state, and with a third firmly in sight, RubyPlay is sharpening its compliance strategy to balance speed with precision. Amanda Slonzon, VP of Compliance and Regulatory Strategy, explains how the company’s US Playbook is helping to turn regulation into a growth engine, from leveraging New Jersey as a benchmark, to preparing for Pennsylvania’s unique challenges, and building trust-based relationships with regulators and partners across the industry.
When people think about compliance in the US iGaming industry, they often imagine it as the handbrake that slows expansion and stifles innovation. For me, it is the opposite as compliance sits in the driver’s seat. It is not simply a support function but a product in itself that enables us to grow faster, enter new markets with confidence and strengthen our relationships across the industry.
The US online casino market is both highly promising and highly fragmented. Only seven states currently regulate iGaming and each has its own framework. Navigating this landscape requires a deep understanding of both the common threads between states and the subtle differences that can make or break a market entry.
This is why we have developed a US Playbook at RubyPlay, which is a detailed, in-house framework for understanding and applying state-by-state requirements in a way that is tailored to our products and infrastructure. With it, our compliance and regulatory specialists break down each regulation, interpret it in the context of our business, and share that knowledge across the company.
Market comparisons
New Jersey will always be the starting point for most operators and suppliers entering the US. It was the pioneer of state-level regulation and, in many ways, still sets the standard for others to follow. Meeting New Jersey’s requirements ensures a company is well-prepared for other states, many of which recognise its certifications. Delaware, for example, places direct reliance on New Jersey approvals, a pragmatic approach that can streamline entry for those already licensed in the Garden state. But even with these efficiencies, each state demands its own level of preparation and adaptation.
Regulators in the US take compliance very seriously and ensure that every technical aspect of a business meets their requirements. Unlike some EU markets, where providers may not need a B2B license, every US state requires B2B licensing through a thorough, state-specific process. While major shifts are rare, when they occur they can significantly impact the industry. Right now, sweepstakes is the most talked-about development, and with New Jersey’s Governor having recently signed the ban into law, we are seeing a wave of prohibition that will have a major impact across the industry. Our role is to remain attentive, follow changes daily, and ensure we stay as compliant as we intend to be.
Every state also has its own technical standards, licensing requirements, tax structures, and approaches to product approval. For example, Pennsylvania applies the highest tax rate on operators in the country yet remains one of the most attractive among operators. It also has a deeply ingrained gaming culture and a large, active player base. Entering a state like Pennsylvania, which is a key target for RubyPlay in 2026, is not just about passing compliance checks but more about understanding the regulator’s expectations, the market’s economic realities and the cultural context of its players.
Fostering close relationships
One of the most important aspects of operating in the US is the strength of relationships with key stakeholders across the entire ecosystem. I have always believed that a strong relationship with the regulator is just as critical as meeting their requirements on paper. We work to ensure that regulators see us as partners who bring solutions, not problems. We communicate openly and demonstrate that we take their rules as seriously as they do. The same process applies to how we work alongside our industry partners. From platform providers or operator customer, we approach every partnership as a collaborative effort to succeed together.
Culture plays a vital role in how we approach regulation. Compliance is considered a technical discipline, but ultimately it is powered by people who care about getting processes and frameworks robust. I am proud to lead a team that is collaborative and solution-oriented. One of my proudest moments recently came during a recruitment process where I was speaking with a candidate for a role within our compliance team. She told me she had been following RubyPlay closely and was so impressed by our company culture, the pride we take in our work and the way we treat our people, that she was willing to relocate to another country just to join the team. It is a real story that speaks to the environment we have built.
Regulation in the US is not going to advance overnight. The state-by-state approach will remain and evolve, and new product categories will emerge that challenge existing frameworks. My perspective is that the companies who thrive will be the ones who embrace this complexity, invest in understanding it deeply, and treat compliance as a strategic asset rather than an operational hurdle.
The US Playbook we have developed is our way of making that happen. It is an ever-evolving strategy that keeps us compliant, competitive and ready for whatever comes next.

The popular crash game Aviatrix has entered a strategic partnership with Brazilian operator Todos Querem Jogar (TQJ) to bring the hit title to the recently launched brand Bet do Milhão.

Through the partnership, Bet do Milhão players will now enjoy the full Aviatrix experience, including one of the most dynamic and engaging crash game mechanics in the world.
Anastasia Rimskaya, Chief Account Officer at Aviatrix, said: “This partnership with TQJ and Bet do Milhão is a perfect fit. Aviatrix is about delivering exciting and intuitive gameplay, which aligns perfectly with the Bet do Milhão concept. This is another key milestone in establishing Aviatrix as one of the most popular online casino games in Brazil.”
Leonardo Sampaio, Chief Operating Officer at Todos Querem Jogar, added: “We want to combine the Brazilian way of having fun with the very best in technology and content available in the market. That’s why bringing Aviatrix to our new brand was a priority. We are excited to build a long-term relationship with the team and are confident the game will be hugely successful with our players.”
Aviatrix has been rapidly expanding in Brazil in recent months. In April 2025, the game received full federal certification to operate via licensed operators nationwide, as well as a dedicated certification for the state of Paraná.
