SOFTSWISS Sportsbook Recaps H1’23: 78% Bets Made Mobile
The average bet on live events commands double the value of its pre-match counterpart placed through the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, a sports betting software platform within the SOFTSWISS dynamic ecosystem. The product team reports impressive results for H1’23 and shares valuable insights.
In terms of statistics, the following sports have gained the highest popularity for bets through the platform:
- Soccer
- Basketball
- Tennis
Alexander Kamenetskyi, Head of SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, comments: “The leading trio in sports by the Bet Sum holds no surprise, yet esports continues its remarkable expansion. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has consolidated its position among the top 10 sports with a staggering 339% year-on-year surge in bets and a remarkable 388% increase in the Bet Sum. Following closely are League of Legends and DOTA 2, shining in the realm of cybersports. This is a reminder for us to keep an eye on cybersports as the momentum continues to grow.”
Speaking about betting channels, 78.3% of all bets were made via mobile devices, with only 21.7% attributed to desktop usage. Coupled with the statistics that 61.5% of all bets revolve around live events, and the average live event bet is twice that of pre-match wagers, the imperative for mobile adaptation and an engaging live betting environment becomes all the more pronounced. In response, the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook has taken the initiative to develop a mobile application and now offers it to its partners.
According to the statistics, combo bets exhibit an average wager that is twice as high as that of single bets. Considering this fact, the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook team advocates for the strategic utilisation of such bonuses as Comboboost to incentivise players towards placing more combo bets.
Alexander Kamenetskyi, Head of SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, concludes: “I am deeply gratified by the substantial expansion we have achieved. During the first half of 2023, the GGR soared by 769%, while the Turnover rose by 254% year-on-year. This remarkable progress attests to the ongoing adept enhancements made by the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook team to the betting platform. I extend my gratitude to my colleagues for their unwavering dedication and enthusiasm, and to our partners for their trust and the mutually advantageous collaboration we’ve fostered.”
The SOFTSWISS Sportsbook offers a diverse selection of unique industry bonuses, along with the ability to launch captivating jackpot campaigns and tournaments. With the recent enhancements to the Sportsbook’s content management framework, partners can seamlessly and swiftly tailor and adjust all categories of content on their sports betting websites.

Double win for Kaizen Gaming at the SBC Awards Latinoamérica 2024
Kaizen Gaming, one of the biggest GameTech companies in the world, had an impressive double-win at the SBC Awards Latinoamérica 2024 on the 31st October in Miami, Florida. Awarded ‘Brazilian Market Entrant of the Year’, and ‘Marketing Campaign of the Year’, the two wins follow an impressive year of growth and exposure for Kaizen Gaming, as well as its premium brand Betano, across Latin America and globally.
Betano is rapidly growing its user base and presence in Brazil, serving as the main and title sponsor of Brasileirão Betano and Copa Betano do Brasil. As a founding member of the ANJL and IBJR regulatory bodies, Betano is recognised for its dedication to upholding the highest standards of responsible gaming and integrity. Furthermore, the Betano brand has launched multiple CSR initiatives across the country in partnership with sponsored team, Clube Atlético Mineiro. It also recently launched the “Juntos em Campo” long-term program in cooperation with CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) to promote initiatives focused on gender equality.
Awarded for the results and creativity of its innovative “Football in America” marketing campaign, Betano successfully introduced Latin America to its “Confia” brand platform by leveraging on its CONMEBOL Copa America 2024 sponsorship. The campaign chimed with the spirit of fans across the continent by celebrating Latin America’s rich football heritage, playfully responding to Kylian Mbappe’s 2022 comments questioning the region’s football quality.
Vangelis Skarkalis, Kaizen Gaming Senior Commercial Director LATAM, said: “Latin America is one of the world’s most dynamic and exciting regions for i-gaming. Being recognised as a leading player in this important market with two wins at the prestigious SBC Awards Latinoamérica is a great honour – especially on the heels of our recent double-win as ‘Operator of the Year’ at both the EGR Operator Awards and SBC Awards. Achieving this success requires an exceptional team of dedicated, ambitious professionals. This award honours everyone’s hard work and commitment to always going above and beyond in delivering the best experiences for our customers not only in Latin America, but worldwide too.”
