According to reporting by Yogonet International, SOFTSWISS will launch the fifth edition of its 2027 iGaming Trends Report on 29 September at SBC Summit Lisbon. The launch occurs in partnership with WorldGaming, formerly known as Clarion.
The edition draws on input from more than 500 industry professionals. It marks the first time the report extends beyond iGaming to deliver a cross-industry perspective with contributions from Amazon Web Services.
iGaming ranks as the fourth-largest sector over the past five years. It trails only e-commerce, sports and film in market size, growth, regulatory load and digital maturity.
The report rests on survey responses from more than 500 industry professionals together with analysis of over 480,000 media headlines that track narrative and sentiment trends. A new chapter titled “Beyond iGaming” compares the sector against e-commerce, crypto, streaming and other digital industries through Tier-1 case studies on operator growth, market expansion and performance.
Alexandra Kavelich, deputy CMO at SOFTSWISS, said: “The industry’s maturation has brought both increased complexity and cross-sector influence, which prompted us to broaden analytical scope to reflect the new reality. For the 2027 iGaming Trends Report, we have nearly doubled the number of professionals surveyed and headlines analysed, and added the ‘Beyond iGaming’ chapter.”
Kavelich added: “As a strategic partner, we aim to help businesses navigate next steps with deeper insights and adaptation paths.”
The edition incorporates regional market analysis and trend outlooks from WorldGaming, insights from Amazon Web Services on AI adoption in compliance, fraud detection, personalization and customer support, market sizing and forecasting data from H2 Gambling Capital, and workforce data on hiring trends, retention and talent gaps from Pentasia. The report has recorded more than 32,000 downloads since it launched in 2022.
Robin Harrison, Global Content Director B2B at WorldGaming, said: “Understanding both the global picture and the nuances of specific regions matters. We have seen cases when local leadership only bought businesses a market share. That is the perspective WorldGaming brings to the 2027 iGaming Trends Report through its ICE, iGB, and GGB platforms.”
SOFTSWISS will present the report at stand B501 and host a panel discussion on the same date titled “2027 iGaming Trends Report | Five Years of iGaming: Which Trends Endured, Which Faded, and What Comes Next?”
