Reelsoft Recognised as Industry Innovator with Dual Award Nominations
Reelsoft, the iGaming technology company behind the Vision platform, has been nominated for two prestigious awards:
Best iGaming Technology Company at the MiGEA Awards and Rising Star in Casino – Supplier at the SBC Europe Awards. Both nominations celebrate the innovation, scalability, and comprehensive capabilities of the company’s proprietary Vision platform.
At the heart of Reelsoft’s offering is a unique combination: Vision RGS (Remote Gaming Server) and Vision Link, a game aggregation platform. Reelsoft is currently the only company in the market delivering both technologies under a single ecosystem. This dual-platform synergy offers partners unrivalled flexibility, speed-to-market, and control—whether they are launching their own titles or aggregating content from third-party studios.
The Vision platform is further enhanced by powerful modular features. Vision RGS supports slots, crash games, RNG table games, and multiplayer experiences, while Vision Link seamlessly connects game providers to operators across global markets. Embedded within both is Vision Promotions, a full suite of engagement tools including tournaments, feature bets, and the distinctive Vision Mega Jackpot, which can be deployed across both proprietary and aggregated content on Vision Link—a rare capability in the industry.
Reelsoft’s proprietary multiplayer engine, jackpot engine, and real-time back office provide a full-service infrastructure for studios and operators looking to grow with confidence. The platform has demonstrated its scalability with over 3.4 billion transactions processed to date and strong expansion into regulated and emerging markets, including Europe, Africa and North America.
“Being recognised in both categories is a clear signal that the market values the depth and ambition of what we’re building,” said Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Reelsoft.
“Vision is more than a platform—it’s an engine for sustainable, partner-led growth. These nominations are a credit to our team’s dedication and to our partners who choose flexibility and innovation to grow their business.”
As Reelsoft continues to push the boundaries of platform ownership, game distribution, and player engagement, these shortlistings reaffirm the company’s position as a driving force within the iGaming landscape.
