SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator Wins Europe After LatAm in One Week

The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator has been recognised as Best Aggregator at the SiGMA World Euro-Med Awards 2025, marking its second major win in just one week. Days earlier, the solution was named the Best Aggregator at the CGS Recife Awards 2025 in Brazil. Earning two prestigious titles on two continents confirms the Game Aggregator’s reputation as the standard-setter for the industry.
Being recognised twice within a week is a milestone that underscores the global stature of the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator. Latin America and Europe – two rapidly evolving iGaming markets – have both named it Best Aggregator, affirming its reputation for reliability, scalability, and innovation. These awards highlight the company’s commitment to growth, global coverage, and platform stability.
The Game Aggregator offers direct access to more than 35,000 games from 300+ providers and operates seamlessly in 24 regulated jurisdictions. Its robust infrastructure ensures 99.999% uptime and the ability to handle thousands of requests per second, making it one of the most stable aggregation platforms worldwide. With this latest honour, the Game Aggregator celebrates its eighth international award.
Recognition as Best Aggregator twice in one week reflects the platform’s ability to deliver measurable results. Its Tournament Tool raises daily betting volumes by 22%, while Jackpot Aggregator campaigns increase average player turnover by 50%. These tools translate awards into business growth for operators.
“To be named Best Game Aggregator twice in one week is a remarkable achievement and a powerful validation of our product. Recognition in both Latin America and Europe proves the Game Aggregator’s global strength. Our team will continue to expand the platform’s capabilities, delivering unmatched content, stability, and engagement tools that help our partners grow,” added Tatyana Kaminskaya, Head of SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator.
