Lithuanian Basketball League Becomes Betsson-LKL from 2025

Betsson Group has announced that from the 2025-26 season, Lithuania’s premier basketball league will be officially known as Betsson-LKL.

This marks a new phase in Betsson’s long-standing partnership with the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL). Since 2017, the Betsafe brand has served as the league’s title sponsor, supporting the continued development of professional basketball in the country. Earlier this year, Betsafe in Lithuania was rebranded to Betsson.

A refreshed visual identity for the league has also been unveiled, marking the beginning of this new chapter.

“This step allows us to further strengthen our position in the market, offer customers the benefits of our technology platform, and continue upholding high standards of responsible gaming,” said Aurimas Šilys, Head of Betsson Lithuania.

“We are grateful for a partnership that goes beyond branding. Our work with Betsson Group is rooted in a shared vision – to develop a top-tier basketball league in Lithuania that inspires fans and players alike,” said Rasa Liuimienė, General Director of the LKL.

The upcoming Betsson-LKL season will officially commence in autumn 2025.

SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator Enters the Estonian Market

SOFTSWISS, a leading iGaming software provider, has strengthened its European presence by making the Jackpot Aggregator available in Estonia. This strategic move follows the recent Jackpot Aggregator certification in Bulgaria, Brazil, and Peru.

Estonia remains a strong and digitally mature iGaming market in Europe. Industry revenue is projected to reach 452.5 million dollars in 2025, with growth expected to push that figure past 508 million dollars by 2029. The casino and slots segment alone is expected to generate more than 206 million dollars this year. With user penetration at 31.2% and over 450,000 players forecast by the end of the period, the market continues to draw interest from operators across the region.

In July 2025, SOFTSWISS introduced Paid Participation campaigns – a new Jackpot Aggregator feature where players pay a small fee to join jackpots, prize drops, or other campaigns. This model offers a more engaging experience, giving players better chances of winning and fewer participants. For operators, it opens a new revenue stream by funding prize pools through player contributions. 

Angelina Stasiuk, Head of Business Line at SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator, shares: “The Jackpot Aggregator has proven its impact across multiple markets, and we are excited to bring its full potential to operators in Estonia. Now, Estonian operators can launch player-centric jackpot campaigns tailored to their brand and audience. We see strong potential in the Estonian market and are ready to support partners with the tools they need to stand out.”

The Jackpot Aggregator also integrates directly with the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, which now offers over 35,000 games – the largest portfolio in the industry – and maintains enterprise-level uptime at 99.999%. Together, these solutions offer a powerful combination for operators looking to scale with confidence.
