SOFTSWISS, a global tech expert with over 15 years of experience in iGaming, acquired a significant stake in Ously Games GmbH, the driving force behind the fastest-growing European social casino SpinArena.net. 

As a result of these investments, SOFTSWISS partnered with the German enterprise Ously Games GmbH to develop a new comprehensive software solution for social casinos, aligning with recent iGaming industry trends.

Social casinos, a fast-developing trend in online entertainment, offer a unique fusion of popular casino games and social networking features. Unlike traditional casinos, they operate without real-money betting, utilising virtual currency for gameplay. Social сasinos revenue primarily stems from virtual goods sales, enriching gameplay without monetary risks.

The business model of launching a social casino has no licence requirements or advertising restrictions and grows globally year by year. As per modest estimates of Business Research Insights, the global social casino games market is projected to reach 10 billion euro by 2030. About 85 million people around the globe daily play at social casinos according to the Australian Communications and Media Authority. 

The largest by the number of slot games European social casino, SpinArena.net, provided by Ously Games GmbH, has seen its player base triple since the beginning of 2023, surpassing 700 thousand players.  With a collection of over 3,000 games from almost 40 providers, the casino reached a one million euro annual turnover. 

Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, comments on the agreement: “Anticipating the development of social casinos within the iGaming industry, SOFTSWISS made strategic investments to diversify its portfolio. Together, we aim to create a comprehensive platform for social casinos, enriching the robust ecosystem of iGaming products provided by our company.”

Ously Games GmbH founder Jochen Martinez shares his expectations: “We are delighted to forge a strategic partnership with the global technology provider SOFTSWISS. This alliance brings invaluable insights, innovations, and profound expertise to both parties. The deal demonstrates our commitment to driving growth and mutual development. Collaborating with SOFTSWISS opens new horizons and ensures access to top-notch resources and support essential for thriving in the competitive iGaming landscape.”

Social casinos are not just a modern trend. They are revolutionising the future of online gambling. The phenomenon sets new industry standards and offers players an unparalleled, safer gaming experience by providing a unique blend of gaming, social engagement, and innovation. Players can engage in various activities, such as connecting with friends, sending gifts, and participating in tournaments, all while playing games like poker, slots, and roulette, with an emphasis on social interaction.

Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) has today announced Grand Casino Basel, one of the most established land-based Casino operators in Switzerland and currently the only online grand casino, as its new partner in the Swiss online market.

The announcement highlights GiG’s expansion into the Swiss regulatory environment for the first time, and will see Grand Casino Basel’s existing online operation, Golden Grand Casino, migrate to GiG’s powerful platform.

GiG has recently unveiled the X-Suite, a revolutionary range of iGaming solutions encompassing the CoreX platform, LogicX, an advanced machine learning toolkit, and DataX, which enhances decision-making processes and rule building, showcasing the latest cutting-edge, event-driven technology. This innovative new technology has been meticulously designed to deliver agility, scalability, and is committed to driving revenue growth and support for its partners in complex regulated markets.

With online casino licenses in Switzerland requiring an existing land-based casino license to operate, and with only 10 licensed and operating, iGaming in Switzerland is widely considered to offer significant opportunities for growth, given its unique regulatory framework. These opportunities are highlighted by an online market that has been forecasted to grow by approximately 30% YoY and reach over €440m GGR by the end of 2024, according to information supplied by H2 Gambling Data.

With a proven track record in facilitating the digital aspirations of land-based casinos, GiG is perfectly positioned to help spearhead online growth for operators in Switzerland, having already launched established operators across Europe, Latin America, and North America.

Andrew Cochrane, Chief Business Officer of GiG said: “We’re delighted to formally announce our partnership with Grand Casino Basel to migrate their online casino to our powerful platform technology, CoreX. The combination of their established and popular brand, with our proven expertise at delivering highly successful digital operations, provides a great opportunity to drive value and growth in the attractive Swiss online market.”

Kai Laepple, Chief Executive Officer at Grand Casino Basel added: “We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with GiG, a highly experienced platform provider for the burgeoning Swiss online casino market. We anticipate a promising partnership ahead and are confident in our joint success.”
