SOFTSWISS, an international tech company in the iGaming industry, celebrates 16 years of growth, innovation, and bold decision-making, with Malta playing an increasingly important role in the company’s global journey.

With a growing presence on the island, SOFTSWISS has continued to deepen its commitment to Malta, both as a European operational base and as a hub for regulatory and strategic leadership. The company’s growing team reflects the country’s importance in the global iGaming ecosystem, especially as SOFTSWISS continues to shape industry conversations around compliance, data transparency, and responsible growth.

Now entering its 16th year, SOFTSWISS is focused on accelerating international expansion. Recent landmark developments include the successful certification of its full product suite, including the Game Aggregator, the Jackpot Aggregator, the Casino Platform, and the Sportsbook for operation in Brazil, just ahead of the market’s formal regulation in early 2025.

With more than 1,350 global brands powered by SOFTSWISS solutions, the company is trusted for its unmatched system uptime (99.999% globally) and long-term stability. Its Malta-based operations support clients across Europe and beyond, playing a critical role in regulatory advisory and technical delivery.

In recent years, SOFTSWISS has received 73 international industry and business awards, including accolades for product innovation, marketing, compliance, and employer branding. In 2025, the spotlight also turned to individual leaders within the company. Founder Ivan Montik received a Lifetime Achievement Award and was named among the winners of the European CEO Awards. Other key leaders, including Deputy CTO Sergey Kastukevich and CMO Valentina Bagniya, were recognised for their contributions to technology and marketing, further cementing SOFTSWISS’s status as a major force in both the iGaming and broader tech landscape.

The company’s presence in Malta has also been instrumental in its wider industry development work. SOFTSWISS became the first iGaming company to launch large-scale, open-access research, helping to drive transparency and maturity across markets. The 2025 edition of the iGaming Trends Report was downloaded over 13,000 times, a new record for the company and the industry.

While the company’s foundation lies in technology, from automation and AI to platform innovation, SOFTSWISS continues to invest heavily in people and purpose. With offices in Malta and Georgia, development hubs in Poland, and remote teams in 46 countries, the company blends global talent with local expertise. Its growing Maltese presence reflects this balance, a team of specialists focused on compliance, partnership development, and market expansion.

“Last year, we celebrated 15 years with our partners, clients, and team –  and this past year brought new challenges that we’ve faced with confidence and clarity. While SOFTSWISS is, at its core, a technology company – driven by AI, automation, and innovation – I firmly believe our people shape the company’s long-term success. Technology accelerates progress, but talent, vision, and shared values make it sustainable,” says Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS.

Those values are evident across the organisation, where employees are encouraged to take initiative and lead. Malta remains central to that approach attracting and nurturing talent while connecting with international partners across Europe and the Americas.

“Five years ago, SOFTSWISS had fewer than 500 employees. I was 19 and had only just started my career, with only one job behind me. That initial experience in audience growth and analytics brought me to SOFTSWISS, where I was mentored, given tools to learn, and encouraged to step up. Today, I lead the Data Office – a 24-person team that supports the company with trusted, consistent data.. Looking back, I couldn’t have imagined this path. But I’m living proof that at SOFTSWISS, real growth isn’t just encouraged – it is made possible,” shares Anna Ivanova, Head of Data Office. 

As SOFTSWISS moves forward and steps into its 17^th year, its growing footprint in Malta and beyond will remain key to its next chapter, one that blends technology, talent, and trust to power the future of iGaming.
