SOFTSWISS Turns 16: Milestones That Defined the Year
SOFTSWISS, an international tech company in the iGaming industry, celebrates 16 years of growth and bold decisions. This year marks a new chapter in the company’s journey — with a strategic focus on strengthening its presence in emerging markets, accelerating global expansion, and obtaining new certifications across key jurisdictions.
The year 2025 is a turning point for the industry, with a long-awaited regulatory framework taking effect in several markets, including Brazil and Peru.
SOFTSWISS is the first company to secure certification for its flagship Game Aggregator in Brazil in late 2024. By early 2025, all products within the SOFTSWISS tech ecosystem – including the Jackpot Aggregator, Casino Platform, and Sportsbook – were certified for operation in this emerging market. This enabled both existing and new clients to expand in Brazil with full regulatory support, confidently.
With over 1,350 brands powered by SOFTSWISS solutions, the company continues to earn trust through its proven stability and performance, maintaining system uptime at 99.999% worldwide. As a testament to this success, SOFTSWISS has received 73 industry and business awards over the past five years, recognising excellence in product innovation, compliance, marketing, and employer branding.
This year, recognition extended to individual SOFTSWISS leaders, highlighting their growing influence beyond iGaming and into the broader tech and business landscape. Ivan Montik, Founder, received multiple prestigious business awards. Sergey Kastukevich, Deputy CTO, was named CTO of the Year at the Oracle Customer Excellence Awards, reaffirming SOFTSWISS’ technological leadership. Valentina Bagniya, CMO, earned several accolades for her outstanding contributions to marketing and industry influence.
In addition to its product and leadership achievements, the company continues to invest in industry development through educational and social initiatives. Notably, SOFTSWISS was the first in the iGaming sector to launch large-scale industry research, collecting and analysing data to produce open-access reports to support market maturity and transparency. The 2025 edition of the SOFTSWISS iGaming Trends Report became a record-breaker, reaching over 13,000 downloads and cementing the company’s role as a thought leader.
Beyond technology, SOFTSWISS invests in people and purpose, supporting charitable, educational, and CSR initiatives as part of its commitment to responsible growth. The company with offices in Malta and Georgia, development hubs in Poland, has also a remote team across 46 countries.
“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.
These values are deeply reflected in the company’s culture and HR approach, offering people the space to grow professionally, take initiative, and lead.
“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 steps into its 17th year, one thing is clear: behind every product, every launch, and every success, there is a team of people driving it forward and they are just getting started.

DeepDive launches AI platform to strengthen Enhanced Due Diligence for gaming operators’ anti-money laundering efforts
DeepDive today announced the launch of a revolutionary AI platform for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance teams that conduct Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) and player investigations.
AML teams at gaming operators face an impossible trade-off, they can either conduct thorough investigations that take days, or fast investigations that may miss critical intelligence. On top of that they have to be able to assess source of funds on customers all over the world. DeepDive combines multi-language web search and global regulatory compliance data checks to extend the reach of EDD. Compliance teams can now sift through the digital ocean of open-source data including public records, corporate filings, court documents, news archives, social media profiles and PEP, sanctions and watchlist data to build customer intelligence.
Using a unique combination of search tools, natural language processing, entity resolution and generative AI, DeepDive enables EDD research to go further and deeper, accessing more sources, in any language or alphabet. Instead of analysts spending hours clicking through search results and manually cross-referencing information, DeepDive’s AI processes hundreds of sources simultaneously and presents EDD reports viewable by timeline, alert type or risk category. Analysts can then interrogate the body of knowledge with the built-in chatbot to get to the heart of the matter, helping them make more informed risk decisions.
The team behind DeepDive is staffed by industry veterans that have previously launched, scaled and exited several fraud investigation and KYC platforms.
“DeepDive addresses the pain points facing compliance teams such as time-intensive manual research, incomplete data, language barriers, false positives, and the challenge of processing vast amounts of information at scale,” said David Pope, COO at DeepDive.
“We’ve now completed a successful six-month beta with MLROs and outsourced EDD providers. DeepDive has helped them build deeper intelligence on high-risk customers from all over the world, in a fraction of the time. Not only are we uncovering intelligence that the manual EDD approach misses, but with the time saved, gaming operators can extend EDD across a wider set of customer transactions.”
DeepDive strengthens EDD by creating multiple search permutations across publicly available data and targeted compliance databases in relevant languages and local search engines. After creating the most exhaustive possible dataset for analysis, entity resolution refines the data pool to remove false positives. Multiple generative AI tools are then used to build a structured intelligence report with full citations to original sources and an audit trail.
The DeepDive report covers personal background, legal issues, financial integrity, compliance history, and key relationships, revealing financial insight, known associates, locations, company linkages, political connections, and criminal activity—all structured for immediate analysis.
