SOFTSWISS Launches Expert Casino SEO Guide
SOFTSWISS, a global tech company with over 15 years of experience in iGaming, presents a new comprehensive report about online casino SEO audit and optimisation. ‘Casino SEO Audit: The Ultimate Guide’ is set to deliver insights for organically promoting any iGaming project.
iGaming brand promotion has many restrictions. Apart from using affiliate marketing, adopting a robust system of SEO rules can also help to increase the casino website’s visibility to online search engines. According to the surveys, SEO provides the highest return on investment of any digital marketing activity at over 29%.
SOFTSWISS surveyed SEO professionals at the company and researched best practices to present an ebook for online casino SEO optimisation. By downloading the Casino SEO Audit Guide operators gain access to a robust set of comprehensive checklists and ‘to-do’ lists for conducting SEO audits, along with verified improvement tips.
Why is SEO Important for Online Casinos?
SEO ensures long-term growth by reducing reliance on paid advertising. Correct website optimisation improves search engine visibility. SEO is also about organic traffic growth as an element of the entire marketing strategy. Attracting traffic to a poorly optimised, unfriendly website can turn into a waste of budget.
A firm SEO basis improves the efficiency of the overall marketing effort. It also increases user trust and makes the site more accessible and user-friendly. This attracts new players and increases conversions, which is key to sustained success in the highly competitive iGaming industry.
Key Steps to Upgrade Online Casino SEO
When reviewing SEO strategy, SOFTSWISS experts suggest following essential elements:
- Keyword Check. Keywords should be localised to the language of the target audience. Specific long-tail keywords carry higher intent and, ultimately, are likely to bring more conversions.
- On-Page SEO is a basic element of any online casino SEO plan. Its goal is content optimisation and structuring. A well-organised and user-friendly website is essential both for search engines and for players.
- Off-Page SEO is a crucial tool for enhancing an online casino’s reputation across the web. Collaborating with review portals, affiliates, and industry influencers can boost visibility and trust among the target audience. Backlinks from reliable sources will enhance search engine rankings and bring referral traffic to the website.
- Technical SEO. The site’s speed, interactivity, and visual stability are of high importance for Google search. These factors also play a vital role in ensuring a positive player experience.
- Constant Optimisation. Ongoing review of all the steps above and regular improvement is routine and obvious work. SEO improvement is set to be a lasting process for achieving better and better results.
Pavel Kaplunov, Head of Content Marketing, comments: “Content optimisation, good structuring and user-friendliness – these parts of SEO help to improve a website’s visibility and credibility. Its importance lies in the ability to gain sustainable and cost-effective organic traffic. For highly competitive businesses, like iGaming projects, effective SEO can be the deciding factor between being discovered by potential players and being overlooked.”
The Casino SEO Audit Guide is available for download via the link and allows casinos to access well-structured, proven insights for SEO optimisation.

Ygam and TSB Bank have joined forces to help increase understanding of in-game spending and help young gamers manage their money with confidence.
Ygam and TSB Bank have joined forces to help increase understanding of in-game spending and help young gamers manage their money with confidence.
As part of this collaboration, they have co-created specialist educational resources for schools. Developed with Ygam’s expertise and delivered by TSB Bank staff as part of their school’s programme which runs throughout the UK, the module aims to provide young gamers with practical guidance on managing their money and understanding potential financial risks while gaming.
A recent Censuswide survey of over 2,000 young gamers, commissioned by TSB, found that while the average initial cost of a game is £32, gamers spend an average of £540 annually on in-game purchases and subscriptions. Nearly half (47%) of those who spend money in-game feel they have little or no control over their spending while playing.
Linda Scollins Smith, Director of Programmes at Ygam, said: “Gaming now plays a central role in young people’s lives, offering significant benefits. However, it is always important to safeguard against the risks, and the increasing sophistication of game monetisation through microtransactions and in-game purchases underscores the need for education on this issue. We are delighted to be working with TSB to support their school programmes, combining financial education with gaming education, to help young gamers develop healthy habits and navigate the digital world safely.”
Kate Osiadacz, Head of Responsible Business, TSB, said: “Gaming is often one of young people’s first interactions with spending or managing their money digitally; so we’re pleased to be working with Ygam to reach young people with targeted advice. Our Money Confident schools programme greatly benefits from Ygam’s insight – and we’re keen help empower the next generation to make informed decisions for their financial lives ahead.”
According to a 2024 Mumsnet survey commissioned by Ygam, 88% of parents in the UK believe schools should provide education on gaming, despite only 35% reporting that their children currently do. Furthermore, 99% of these parents think this education should begin by the end of Key Stage 2.
Alongside developing educational resources, Ygam and TSB Bank will collaborate on a range of initiatives throughout 2025 to raise awareness of this issue and support families in avoiding unexpected costs from gaming.

I think this is what the future of gaming looks like, and it’s a blast!”

Battle Orb has been designed with comfort and safety in mind, earning a “Comfortable” rating and PEGI 3 classification, making it appropriate for players of all ages while still delivering compelling gameplay for serious competitors.
“We’ve created Battle Orb to be a really special mixed-reality competitive experience,” said Voicu. “The way it transforms your physical environment into a strategic battlefield creates moments of gaming magic that simply aren’t possible in traditional formats.”
