SOFTSWISS continues to strengthen its focus on player-centric innovation by rolling out two updates to its Game Aggregator, the largest content hub with a portfolio of over 30,000 games. These updates – a mobile-specific UI feature and a scalable AI-powered localisation system – aim to enhance accessibility, personalisation, and user experience.

While mobile gaming has long been the leading channel for iGaming engagement, evolving player expectations and regional diversification continue to shape the development of new tools and features. According to data from H2 Gambling Capital, iGB’s principal data partner, mobile gaming is projected to grow at a 14.9% annual rate in iGaming. In 2024, 59.5% of global mobile gross win came from betting, while 31.5% was driven by casino games. The same source indicates that casino games are projected to outpace betting in growth, with a compound annual growth rate of 18%, compared to 14% for betting.

SOFTSWISS’ Mobile UX control gives operators more control over how games appear on mobile devices. Previously, some mobile games launched in full-screen mode by default, hiding the casino interface and key navigation elements such as the exit button. Now, operators can request the deactivation of this automatic full-screen mode. This change allows the casino interface to remain visible, supporting brand consistency and improving overall usability for mobile players.

The second update, the AI Localisation Tool, is now available in the Game Aggregator’s back office. The new “Localisation” tab enables instant content translation into multiple languages. Operators can review, edit, and set default language versions for each region, streamlining the launch of regional campaigns and significantly reducing manual work. This feature is compatible with both desktop and mobile content, ensuring a consistent, localised experience for players worldwide. By combining AI efficiency with the flexibility to refine translations, operators can ensure their messaging is relevant, compliant, and on-brand in any market. Localisation has been highlighted as one of the key trends shaping iGaming in 2025, according to the iGaming Trends Report by SOFTSWISS.

The SOFTSWISS tool empowers brands to scale faster and deliver compliant, engaging content tailored to regional audiences, aligning with what industry analysts view as a critical success factor for the coming year.

“As SOFTSWISS grows globally, we encounter a wider spectrum of player needs, regulatory frameworks, and device usage patterns. Mobile-first development and localisation have long guided our Game Aggregator strategy. With these updates, we empower our partners to scale faster and deliver more relevant, high-performing experiences,” said Tatyana Kaminskaya, Head of SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator.

The SOFTSWISS team will be available to discuss the latest trends and explore collaboration opportunities in iGaming at iGB L!VE 2025, held on 2–3 July in London.

The beginning of May saw the grand opening of EveryMatrix’s new London office, where the company welcomed iGaming media representatives for a two-day showcase: from the official ribbon-cutting to a deep dive into Q1 results, product launches, and strategic updates.

Held high above the city in the sleek HYLO building – now home to EveryMatrix’s new London office – the event was as polished as the view. It offered warm hospitality, meaningful conversations, and a structured program that balanced corporate transparency with genuine connection.

Co-founders Ebbe Groes and Stian Hornsletten, and Global Head of Offices Daniela Gheorghe took their spots for the customary cutting, surrounded by wide windows framing a glowing city skyline: cheers from the crowd, a quick snip – and that’s it: with camera shutters clicking and hands clapping, the new chapter began.

A View to Match the Vision

The new office setting was as polished as the EveryMatrix brand itself. Located in one of London’s most vibrant new towers, the company’s new office rises high above the city, with panoramic windows framing a glowing metropolis below.

The sleek space and the people buzzing happily around the workstations set the stage for a broader message: EveryMatrix isn’t simply scaling – it’s building a global community.

The “EM” People: The Culture Driving Global Momentum

One of the most compelling media presentations of the day was simply titled “The ‘EM’ People.”

Far from being a routine report, or a “mandatory” nod to company culture, this session revealed the inner engine behind EveryMatrix’s continued success: its people. As the audience quickly discovered, the company is not only scaling across markets but doing so with a purposeful investment in team growth, development, and cohesion.

The numbers shared spoke volumes:

• Headcount marks a 36% year-on-year increase, and 491 new hires joining the company in the last 12 months alone.
• EveryMatrix now spans over 15 global offices with employees representing 40+ nationalities.
• The average employee age is 33, with an average tenure of 3.4 years.
• An impressive 95% retention rate among new hires.

In an industry known for its high turnover and fierce competition for talent, these stats are more than impressive, indicating the strategic planning and care invested in People and Organisational Culture.

The presentation dove into how this success is structured. EveryMatrix has implemented a robust Learning & Development framework that offers tailored learning paths across technical training, leadership development, and online upskilling. This ensures that no matter where someone is in their career journey, there’s a clear path forward.

The company’s employer branding initiatives also stood out. From events designed to boost internal pride and connection, to storytelling campaigns that highlight real team members rather than corporate jargon, EveryMatrix is creating a brand culture that feels authentic and shared.

Offices as People Hubs and Culture Carriers

The symbolism of the London opening was not lost on attendees. The office is not just a workspace – it’s a physical representation of the company’s values and return to its roots. Designed to foster collaboration and flexibility, it joins the ranks of newly opened offices in Copenhagen, Cebu, and Chiang Mai. These hubs are purposefully built to support diverse teams onboarded from strategic acquisitions, encourage spontaneous collaboration, and create a sense of belonging across regions.

Daniela Gheorghe, who oversees EveryMatrix’s global office network, emphasized the importance of spaces that do more than house desks: in the office tour she gave to the press, Daniela discussed the thoughtful architecture and placement of each Department on the open, yet distinctly separate spaces. Teams in need of more quiet surroundings, like Accounting, are placed away from the “louder” Trading Department. Each team’s and co-worker’s needs are met under a collaborative and human-centric mindset.

Social Impact with Substance

The focus on people extends well beyond the company’s own walls. EveryMatrix’s social responsibility initiatives are not just performative checkboxes – they’re embedded into the company’s long-term vision.

The Teach Stream program, active since 2015, has helped more than 200 underprivileged children gain foundational skills in IT, English, and math. More recently, the launch of the Academy for Heroes has marked a new chapter: a purpose-built NGO project in Ukraine, designed to help war veterans transition into tech careers. Based in Lviv, the program offers tailored training in a market-ready environment, further aligning social impact with industry opportunity.

Local CSR projects in each regional office reinforce this approach, encouraging team members to take part in meaningful community action. It’s a people-first philosophy that scales.

Setting the Tone for the Future

While the London office served as the physical backdrop for the event, the real takeaway was intangible: a sense of direction, clarity, and culture. EveryMatrix is growing by cultivating an environment where talent can thrive, communities can benefit, and innovation is sustainable because it’s human-centered.

In a time where company culture is too often reduced to buzzwords, breakout rooms, and meaningless Pizza Fridays, EveryMatrix offered a refreshing alternative: a clear vision backed by real people, real numbers, and real impact.

As I was leaving the building alongside other guests, I couldn’t help but feel that the view from the 24th floor wasn’t just a look at London – it was a glimpse into what the future of responsible iGaming leadership might actually look like.

A survey of SPFL players that attended the competition’s new gambling harm prevention education programme has shown that 96% of players are now confident that they know where to seek support if they are worried about their gambling behaviour, thanks to the knowledge provided to them as part of William Hill’s first season as title sponsors.

With the intention of ensuring that players and staff across all four divisions understand the importance of safer gambling, the programme has reached nearly 800 players and a further 160 staff members, as 37 clubs hosted talks during the 2024/25 season from two former professional footballers with their own past issues of gambling-related harm to share.

The two ex-pros – former Wales U21 and Wrexham striker Marc Williams and Scotland-capped former Liverpool defender Dominic Matteo – were seconded to clubs by EPIC Global Solutions; leaders in gambling harm prevention whose client base includes all 72 EFL clubs, MLB teams and the vast NCAA college sports network.

As a result of the sessions, alongside virtually every player now knowing where to seek support if they are worried about their gambling behaviour, 93% confirmed they now have a good or excellent level of awareness of professional athletes’ vulnerability to harmful gambling – an increase from 70% having that level of knowledge before the session.

The same post-session figure – 93% – also believed they had a good or excellent level of awareness around gambling and professional integrity, which rose from 74% before the session.

Neil Doncaster, SPFL group chief executive, said: “These figures show the real impact that EPIC’s gambling harm awareness programme has had with SPFL clubs and its players, which is great to see.

“We’ve had extremely positive feedback from our members on how informative the sessions have been and it’s excellent it has reached so many players and staff members across our game in its first season.

“We’re proud to continue to support this partnership alongside William Hill and look forward to seeing it develop further in the seasons ahead.”

Among the players to take part in the series of talks was Hibernian’s Kieron Bowie, who made his Scotland debut in Monday’s 4-0 win over Liechtenstein. Speaking after hearing how Marc Williams’ professional career was affected by issues with problem gambling, he admitted:

“In this industry, obviously you have a lot of free time; you’re in hotels overnight or you’re away on international duty and you’re left to your own devices, doing whatever on your phone. It’s easy to get roped into that, especially in this environment where there’s a lot of gambling, like cards on the buses and all that sort of stuff, so it’s easily done.  

“I think seeing what he went through just reassures that that’s not the path you want to go down.”

The education programme will continue for a second season in 2025/26, with a focus on extending the audience to include SPFL clubs’ academies and women’s squads, as well as engaging with community trusts and supporter groups to ensure the message is also accessible to fans of all 42 clubs.

Per Widerstrom, CEO of evoke, the parent group of William Hill, said: “The education programme is a fundamental element of our sponsorship. It’s really important that we balance the passion of players and fans with gambling responsibly, and I am delighted to see such good progress made during our first year of sponsorship. 

“We now look forward to next season and extending the programme to academies, women’s squads and supporters”
