SOFTSWISS, a global leader in iGaming technology with over 15 years of experience, introduces the Retail Betting Solution, made possible by the acquisition of a majority stake in Turfsport, a leading South African software provider. The solution supports diverse betting activities, including sports betting, horse racing, lotteries, and casino games, and empowers operators to set up offline gambling businesses quickly and legally.

Market Insights

The launch of the SOFTSWISS Retail Betting Solution coincides with the recovery of the global sports betting and lotteries market. The land-based gambling industry, which faced significant setbacks during the pandemic, has started to regain its footing.

Over the past five years, the industry’s revenue saw a decline, bringing it to an estimated EUR 219 billion in 2024. However, with demand on the rise again, the industry is showing signs of recovery, experiencing a 0.4% growth this year. Profit margins are also improving, jumping to 14.1%, indicating a strong rebound.

Max Trafimovich, CCO at SOFTSWISS, comments:

“The Retail Betting Solution reflects our strong dedication to innovation and industry leadership. After acquiring the majority stake in Turfsport, we conducted a thorough audit of the solution to ensure it will not only continue to thrive in South Africa but also make a significant impact beyond the country. This is not just another sports betting solution – it is a comprehensive platform that enhances the entire gambling experience, from lotteries to the most popular casino games, keeping pace with market trends and player expectations.”
