SOFTSWISS Wins Aggregator of the Year and Launches 2027 iGaming Trends Report at SBC Summit Lisbon
SOFTSWISS won Aggregator of the Year at SBC Awards 2026 and launched its fifth iGaming Trends report at the Lisbon summit. The report forecasts GGR rising from €307.3 billion in 2026 to €461.84 billion by 2031 with annual growth moderating to 9%. It also underscores growing emphasis on prediction markets and embedded compliance.
SCCG Take — The moderation forecast and Beyond iGaming chapter indicate operators must integrate external benchmarks and build compliance into core platforms to navigate slower growth.
SOFTSWISS concluded its activities at SBC Summit Lisbon with two notable achievements. The summit drew 40,000 industry professionals from more than 150 countries. The company used the occasion to present its latest research and engage on emerging sector themes including AI, regulation and prediction markets.
The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator received the Aggregator of the Year title at the SBC Awards 2026. The platform supports multi-market distribution by linking operators to more than 40,000 games from over 300 game studios through one integration.
Fifth Edition of the iGaming Trends Report
SOFTSWISS launched the 2027 iGaming Trends report, its fifth annual edition. The document was produced in partnership with WorldGaming, formerly Clarion. For the first time it incorporates external perspectives, including a “Beyond iGaming” chapter drawing on expertise from Amazon Web Services. That section compares iGaming practices with those in other digital industries on technology adoption, regulatory handling, expansion and customer experience.
Alexandra Kavelich, Deputy CMO at SOFTSWISS, said: “The igaming market has grown from around €48 billion in 2019 to more than €307.3 billion in gross gaming revenue in 2026 and is projected to reach about €461.84 billion in gross gaming revenue by 2031. At the same time, annual growth is expected to moderate from around 30% to 9% – a clear sign that the industry is entering a new stage of maturity.”
Robin Harrison, Global Content Director B2B at WorldGaming (formerly Clarion), said: “Regulatory and compliance systems are moving beyond individual solutions to become increasingly interconnected. As operators expand in regulated markets, compliance is becoming embedded into the underlying product itself. As this trend evolves, it will shape how digital platforms are designed, developed and scaled.”
A dedicated panel titled “2027 SOFTSWISS iGaming Trends Report | Five Years of iGaming: Which Trends Endured, Which Faded, and What Comes Next?” featured input from Amazon Web Services, SOFTSWISS and BGaming. The report is available for free download.
Prediction Markets Platform in Focus
The summit included its first Global Prediction Markets Forum. SOFTSWISS displayed its Prediction Markets Platform at a stand and took part in two related sessions. Anton Lishchuk, Prediction Markets Commercial Strategist at SOFTSWISS, spoke on the panel “Prediction Markets: The Future’s Not Near, It’s Here” and delivered the keynote “Operators May Lose Prediction Markets Before They Enter Them.”
According to reporting by Focus Gaming News, the combined activity reflects sustained attention on both established aggregation tools and newer product categories.
