The lowest fees on the market”: SOFTSWISS Unveils Exclusive Offer on CryptoProcessing.com
SOFTSWISS, the leading software provider for online gambling, introduces a special offer on CryptoProcessing.com. Its discount system is now allowing SOFTSWISS partners to cut the amount of fees: transaction fees can now go lower than the standard 0.8%. The highest discount becomes available thanks to a special agreement between the companies. Therefore those industry players who choose the SOFTSWISS Crypto Solution or the White Label Solution by the end of the year, automatically receive the lowest processing fees on the market.
According to SOFTSWISS statistics, the share of crypto bets is growing every year. For instance, data shows a 5.1 percentage point rise in H1 2022 in comparison to the same period last year. The rise in the share of crypto bets can be attributed to the steady launches of new crypto brands over the past half year.
As a pioneer in crypto gambling, SOFTSWISS has managed to accumulate vast experience in the crypto gaming niche. Through the use of its reliable iGaming software products, businesses have been able to benefit from a ‘one-stop-shop approach’ for starting a white-label online casino or sports betting brand. Importantly, brands powered by the SOFTSWISS Crypto Solution, in partnership with CryptoProcessing.com, are able to leverage the crypto payment gateway for gaming balance top-ups and withdrawals.
The demand for crypto payments is growing exponentially. Thus, in Q3 2022, CryptoProcessing.com completed 4.9 million transactions worth approximately €3 billion compared to Q3 2021, whereby it handled close to 2.5 million transactions with a volume of about €1.5 billion. Q3 2022 figures show 2X the volume of transactions and 1.94X the number of transactions of the same period in 2021. Remarkably, the average transactions of both quarters remained almost the same at a mere difference of €47. Over the last years, CryptoProcessing.com has seen outstanding growth: a 27x increase in volume and a 16x increase in the number of transactions from 2019 to 2021. It has processed a total of 28.2 million transactions, and the volume of transactions stands at €16 billion. The CryptoProcessing.com’s Q3 results prove that crypto payments don’t lose their relevance even amid the crypto winter. Moreover, 77% of merchants who support payments in crypto or stablecoins saw an increase in cross-border sales, according to Checkout.com’s 2022 ‘Demystifying Crypto’ report.
Due to the unique nature of the discounts at CryptoProcessing.com, SOFTSWISS clients have been able to make significant savings on processing fees and crypto processing fees in particular.
“Based on our expertise in crypto gambling, we strive to provide our partners with a full range of advanced services to launch an iGaming brand from scratch. Using a high-quality and stable cryptocurrency gateway is now an integral part of a successful project. We’re happy to say that our clients have the chance to take full advantage of the leading crypto processing system at the best rates. As a result, a reliable SOFTSWISS casino or sports betting platform along with CryptoProcessing.com becomes the perfect match for the iGaming market,” commented Andrey Starovoitov, Co-CEO at SOFTSWISS.

SOFTSWISS Survey Q3’24: 58% Cite Crypto as Key Driver in New Markets
SOFTSWISS, a tech company and pioneer in crypto gaming with over 15 years of experience, conducted a survey revealing that the majority view crypto as a key driver for growth in new markets. Experts also analysed this year’s crypto bets to share the latest insights.
Bitcoin recently reached a historic high, getting closer to 90,000 euro per coin. However, during the third quarter of 2024, it faced its sharpest drop in several years. SOFTSWISS experts examine how these market shifts have influenced iGaming performance in the quarterly ‘State of Crypto’ analytics.
A Quarter of the World’s Population Engages in iGaming
Global iGaming statistics indicate that approximately 26% of the world’s population were ever engaged in iGaming. By 2028, the iGaming market is projected to reach 243.2 million users, with a market volume nearing 130 billion euro, a substantial portion of which is expected to involve cryptocurrency.
SOFTSWISS data shows that during the 9 months of 2024, the Total Bet Sum, including both fiat and crypto, increased by 43.1% compared to the same period of 2023. Simultaneously, the Total Bet Count showed even more impressive growth, surpassing 44.5%.
An in-depth comparison analysis since 2022 demonstrates fiat bets are rising much more rapidly than crypto. A comparison between the first nine months of 2024 and the same period of the previous year revealed that the Fiat Bet Sum achieved a 50.4% boost. The conservative approach toward payment methods has resulted in Crypto Bet Sum growing at a slower pace compared to fiat and has led to a modest 4-percentage-points (p.p.) decline in the crypto share in 2024.

Potential of Crypto in iGaming 2025
According to the SOFTSWISS iGaming Trends 2025 Report, cryptocurrency is set to remain one of the preferred payment methods within the sector. Based on the company’s survey, 58% of respondents identified crypto as the primary driver of growth in new markets, underscoring its essential role in shaping the industry’s future.
Vitali Matsukevich, Chief Operating Officer at SOFTSWISS, reflects on the possibilities of crypto: “Integrating crypto payments allows iGaming businesses to operate globally, delivering greater speed and convenience. With iGaming’s naturally borderless reach, this expands platforms’ access to a wider international audience, boosting their global growth potential.”
“What is more, crypto transaction fees can be almost three times lower compared to traditional fiat gateways, allowing iGaming businesses to save on processing costs and reinvest that capital”, adds Max Krupyshev, CEO of CryptoProcessing by CoinsPaid.
SOFTSWISS data confirms stable interest in crypto. In the first nine months of 2024, the Crypto Bet Sum increased by 15.2% compared to the same period the previous year. A long-term quarter-by-quarter analysis reveals a consistent growth pattern, though the third quarter of 2024 saw a 9 p.p. decline from the previous quarter. The drop aligns with the decline in the exchange rates of major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum, which occurred in the third quarter.
Meanwhile, the Crypto Bet Count rose by 16.2% in Q3 2024, indicating stable interest in crypto gaming. This combination reveals that while engagement in crypto betting remains steady, the total wagered sum is closely correlated to fluctuations in cryptocurrency exchange rates.
Altcoins Share Growth
The top five most popular cryptos in iGaming have remained stable over the years, with some shifts in the ranking order. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether, and Dogecoin are the most popular among crypto players. While altcoins accounted for only 25.1% of bets over the first nine months of last year, their share increased significantly to over 47% during the same period in 2024.
Bitcoin’s share dropped by 22 p.p. during the nine months of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. At the same time, Tether and Litecoin saw the most impressive share growth, with over 8 p.p. and 7.8 p.p., respectively. Ethereum strengthened by 4.9 p.p.
Another impactful trend reveals some casinos, like Rollbit and Shuffle, utilise their own iGaming tokens to boost player engagement. Tokens designed specifically for gaming offer enhanced compatibility across platforms, lower volatility, and exclusive perks for users. Crypto drives the development of new payment methods and business growth.
Vitali Matsukevich summarises: “Crypto offers iGaming operators key advantages beyond lower costs and global reach. Blockchain enhances safety and fairness through transparency and traceability, with each transaction and game result permanently recorded and tamper-proof. Partnering with trusted crypto experts allows operators to harness these benefits, positioning themselves for growth and effectively navigating market shifts.”
