SOFTSWISS secured two accolades at the SiGMA Africa Awards. The SOFTSWISS Casino Platform was honoured as the Best Platform 2026, while Valentina Bagniya, CMO at SOFTSWISS, was named Woman in iGaming 2026. The ceremony took place on 3 March in Cape Town, South Africa.
Winning the Best Platform award underscores the technical excellence of the SOFTSWISS Casino Platform, specifically its reliability and scalability – features critical for success in the African market.
This recognition affirms the provider’s strategic commitment to supporting ambitious, locally licensed operators. In 2025, SOFTSWISS announced the launch of its first major South African project with Mzansibet and its partnership with PantherBet. Both ventures were powered by the award-winning SOFTSWISS Casino Platform and SOFTSWISS Sportsbook.
The Woman in iGaming award highlights Valentina Bagniya’s significant impact on industry expertise and innovation. Her leadership continues to reinforce the SOFTSWISS strategy of delivering not only reliable, top-tier technical solutions to the region but also setting high standards for business excellence and corporate culture. This recognition follows a standout 2025, during which Valentina was named B2B Marketer of the Year, and her team secured the Marketing Team of the Year title at the EGR Marketing & Innovation Awards.
These achievements are part of the company's broader momentum in 2026. SOFTSWISS started the year with a series of major awards, including being named Best iGaming Platform Supplier of the Year at the European iGaming Awards. Additionally, the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator was recently distinguished as the Best Aggregator 2026 at SiGMA Eurasia 2026.
