Swintt enters Belgian market with Circus.be partnership
Up-and-coming software provider strengthens European presence with new deal that will see full suite of SwinttSelect and SwinttPremium games offered on leading casino platform
Swintt, hotshot software developer behind recent hits Dynamite Boost and Big Max Multi Reel, has announced that it will shortly enter the regulated Belgian market via a new deal with Circus.be that will see its full portfolio of titles launch on the popular online casino platform.
Following hot on the heels of last year’s partnership with Circus.nl which saw the provider cement its presence in the then-nascent Dutch market, the new deal will now enable customers at the leading Belgian casino site to experience a rich and varied line-up of SwinttSelect and Swintt Premium releases including exciting upcoming releases by Elysium Studios, as well as those supplied by boutique third-party studios via the innovative SwinttStudios programme.
Already well established as one of the country’s top regulated online casino platforms, the news means that Circus.be will be able to further bolster its current line-up of well over 1,000 casino titles with the addition of both established favourites and eagerly anticipated upcoming releases from the hit studio.
With the Swintt line-up having been carefully curated to cater for the broadest cross-section of players imaginable, the presence of both classically-themed SwinttPremium games and cutting-edge SwinttSelect titles means that there will be something for everyone when the full catalogue goes live.
In the former category, players at Circus.be can look forward to getting their first taste of the fan-favourite “Pots and Pearls” series of games in Seven Seven Pots and Pearls, a retro, fruit-themed slot that provides players with an exciting pearl free spins feature and access to four rewarding local jackpots.
The highlight of the SwinttSelect portfolio, meanwhile, will undoubtedly be the inclusion of Aloha Spirit XtraLockTM – an engaging “Xtra” series slot that draws its inspiration from Polynesian culture and offers players the chance to get their hands on a 200,500x max win in its innovative Tiki free spins feature.
With the latter of these two titles still ranking as the software provider’s most successful release to date, there will certainly be plenty of players at Circus.be eager to take Aloha Spirit XtraLockTM for a spin, but really the popular game is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what they can expect to discover from the full Swintt portfolio as more cutting-edge slots are rolled out over the coming weeks.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Having already collaborated with the Circus Casino brand for a highly successful venture in the Netherlands, we’re delighted to be expanding the scope of our deal to include Belgium as we look to enter the market there for the very first time.
“With Circus.be being one of the country’s best-known online casino platforms, we’re really looking forward to being able to share our full range of slots with their players – and with the entire Swintt portfolio to choose from, we’re sure there’ll be something for everyone in our line-up.”
David Carrion, Chief Operating Officer Interactive at Circus.be, said: “At Circus.be, entertainment and pleasure are at the heart of what we do. We’ve always prided ourselves on offering unparalleled choice and variety to our customers – and our new partnership with Swintt will ensure that we’re able to offer an even greater range of top titles to all players in the Belgian market.
“Known for their innovative range of Select games as well as more-traditional Premium releases that combine rewarding features with recognisable graphics and sounds, the Swintt portfolio caters for all tastes and preferences, and we can’t wait to see how it performs when it goes live later this month.”

When 5 Votes Make All the Difference: A Special Moment at the GamingTECH CEE Awards
At this year’s GamingTECH CEE Awards, we witnessed something rare—and pretty remarkable—in the “Best iGaming CEO in CEE” category.
With 214 total votes cast across 9 nominees, two names clearly rose to the top, standing apart from a highly competitive field:
- Vlastimil Venclik, CEO at Oddin.gg
- Dario Jurčić, CEO at NSoft
But here’s where it gets interesting: the difference between them? Just 5 votes.
That’s right—after weeks of online voting and a live secret ballot from summit participants, the final count came down to a 5-vote margin. In a category filled with respected leaders, innovators, and visionaries, two CEOs clearly resonated with the industry in a big way.
And while only one person can technically take home the winner’s trophy, this razor-thin result was too significant to ignore. So, for the first time in the history of the GamingTECH CEE Awards, we decided to introduce something new:
- An Honorary Runner-Up Trophy for “Best iGaming CEO in CEE” awarded to Dario Jurčić, CEO of NSoft.
Why This Matters
The intent behind this decision is simple: When excellence is nearly indistinguishable, it deserves to be recognized.
Dario Jurčić has played a vital role in expanding NSoft’s influence, strengthening its presence in new markets, and leading with a people-first approach in a rapidly evolving sector. His visibility, leadership, and impact were clearly acknowledged by the voting community—and with just a handful of votes separating him from the top spot, it felt only right to shine a spotlight on that achievement.
A Testament to a Vibrant Industry
The closeness of this race also speaks volumes about the caliber of leadership we’re seeing in the Central and Eastern European iGaming space. With companies like Oddin.gg and NSoft pushing boundaries in their respective verticals, the region continues to establish itself as a dynamic force in the global gaming landscape.
We congratulate Vlastimil Venclik on his well-earned win, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation and applause to Dario Jurčić for standing out in such a competitive field.
Sometimes, even second place can tell a powerful story—and this year, it certainly did.
