Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The Global Regulatory Awards 2025 have recognised Soft2Bet and its leadership in four categories, reflecting the group’s B2B excellence, rigorous compliance culture, and clear commitment to responsible gaming and player protection.

For nine years, Soft2Bet has focused on competitive markets and built compliance into the product from day one. In-house controls and training, backed by real-time monitoring, give regulators and partners clear, auditable outcomes. MEGA extends this approach into gameplay, using innovative mechanics that merge engagement with responsibility, ensuring marketing impact and safer gaming go hand in hand.

Over the past 12 months, the industry has seen the strength of Soft2Bet’s compliance team, expertise and leadership across the EU and North America. Soft2Bet’s in-house approach brings together market-specific AML and RG controls, proprietary training and QA, and real-time monitoring, with MEGA embedding these safeguards directly into the player experience.

Also, David Yatom Hay, General Counsel, was recognised for Regulatory Lawyer or In-House Counsel of the Year, reflecting his major contribution to company processes and partnerships, his strong commitment to player protection and compliance, and his wider work for the industry through articles, keynotes, and the panel and roundtable discussions that help set safer standards.

“These shortlists reflect years of rigorous work by our Legal and Compliance teams in close partnership with our product, platform, innovation, expansion and partnerships teams. We run a compliance-first operation because it protects players and gives regulators and partners certainty. – stated David Yatom Hay, General Counsel of Soft2Bet –  By building our own systems and training, and by operating a self-sufficient department that handles most matters in-house with minimal reliance on external counsel, we give the business speed, clarity and accountability.”

Operating in 11 jurisdictions and holding 19 licences, Soft2Bet treats compliance as a strategic discipline embedded in every team. Rather than outsourcing, the company builds its own tools, training and monitoring systems tailored to each market and customer profile. This self-developed ecosystem enables swift updates to AML and RG controls, targeted risk management and clear audit trails.

MEGA, Soft2Bet’s Motivational Engineering Gaming Application, is central to this model. MEGA supports real-time oversight of session length, spend patterns and betting limits, while localised missions and challenges encourage healthy play. By integrating responsible gambling into the product experience, MEGA makes protection intuitive and helps partners lift retention and lifetime value without compromising safety.

The NASCAR Brasil Series crowns its champion over a full season under NASCAR-aligned regulations.

We will keep applying the same approach in Brazil first and across all markets, bringing measured execution and data-driven decision-making to every release and every client partnership.”

In May, SOFTSWISS marked the first anniversary of its collaboration with Barrichello.

Having already established a substantial fan following in Germany thanks to its engaging range of classically-themed slots, sought-after software provider, Swintt, has announced it will be making further in-roads into the country via a new partnership with NOVOLINE.DE.

One of Germany’s most beloved online casino platforms, NOVOLINE.DE is home to a vast collection of over 650 slot games and this impressive library now stands to be significantly boosted by the addition of Swintt’s titles – most notably those included within the popular SwinttPremium range.

A core pillar of Swintt’s multi-faceted content line-up, SwinttPremium titles combine the classic graphics, sounds and fruit-based iconography of land-based slots with quick and easy bonus features. They have proven particularly successful in the regulated German market.

As a result of the new deal, NOVOLINE.DE customers will now be able to enjoy a number of popular entries in the series including Seven Seven Pots and Pearls, Xtra Win X and Aqua Lord – all of which have established themselves among the provider’s best-performing titles in the German market.

Of course, with upwards of 120 titles in the SwinttPremium collection alone, the addition of this exciting selection of 63 games will enable NOVOLINE to offer an even wider selection of casino content to customers, while also helping Swintt cement its position as a top provider in the German market.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Having already established ourselves as a leading software provider in the regulated German market, we’re delighted to be teaming up with NOVOLINE.DE to bring our SwinttPremium games to an even wider range of players.

“As a hugely established online slots platform with a strong player base in the country, the partnership will enable Swintt to enhance its standing among German audiences while also bolstering NOVOLINE’s line-up with proven titles like the fan favourite Seven Seven Pots and Pearls.”

Florian Hermann, Managing Director at NOVOLINE.DEsaid: “While NOVOLINE.DE already offers an incredible collection of over 650 slot titles to players, we’re always looking for opportunities to extend our line-up by joining forces with the software providers who can offer something new.

“We’re confident that our customers will love the SwinttPremium titles added to our offering .”
