The last year's global turbulence has affected various crypto-related business sectors, with iGaming being no exception. SOFTSWISS, a leading tech provider for iGaming, analyzed the past year's global data to share an expert crypto report. Crypto future predictions require first addressing the 2022 outcomes.

A pioneer in crypto gambling with its Crypto Casino Solution and 10 years of market expertise, SOFTSWISS quarterly analyzes the crypto market to share insights with the industry. The tech-savvy developer presents its newest crypto report 2022 vs 2021, based on the inputs from 700 clients of the Game Aggregator and the Casino Platform by SOFTSWISS.

2022 VS 2021
Despite the last year's crypto fluctuations, the total bets, both in fiat and digital coins, through the supplier's platform gained 31% compared to 2021. The GGR, the difference between the amount wagered and the amount won, also grew by 36% YoY.

In Q2 2022, the total bets passed the 20-billion-euro mark. The indicator had been growing steadily until the end of 2022. The average total bets increased by 35% QoQ. In comparison with 2021, the quarterly average GGR increased 2.7 times, showing 38% of growth.

"The increasing number of new fiat projects does not diminish the power of the already established worldwide crypto community," said Vitali Matsukevich, Chief Operating Officer at SOFTSWISS. "There is still a strong drive for iGaming operators to implement and expand crypto payments and develop new crypto-centric tools. For example, we've launched the In-Game Currency Conversion feature to enable automatic conversion of digital coin bets into fiat wagers."

FIAT VS CRYPTO
Compared to 2021, the overall amount of crypto bets decreased by 14.6% to 20.2 billion euro. The 3.5 billion euro drop on the crypto side influenced the fiat share growth. By the end of 2022, the total fiat bets accounted for 76% of the total player bets.

MOST USED DIGITAL COINS
Despite dropping over 60% in price in 2022, Bitcoin is still in the lead, accounting for 72.7% of the total crypto bets. At the same time, this digital coin has lost 7.4 p.p. since 2021. Ethereum has improved its popularity among players, gaining 3.7 p.p.

Reviewing 2022, the top 3 most used cryptocurrencies are:
Bitcoin – 72.7%
Ethereum – 13.6%
Litecoin – 5.5%

The detailed breakdown, including DOG, USDT, and BCH, is available in the report.

"2022 was not as bright for digital currencies and NFTs as 2021,” said Matsukevich. “We are optimistic about 2023 and confident that players won't stop choosing crypto because of its transaction speed, anonymity, and decentralized nature. Despite the fluctuations, crypto has already gained a strong foothold and has become an integral part of the market. For this reason, SOFTSWISS continues to strengthen its partners' projects, whether fiat or crypto, with new innovative tools and solutions, providing operators with security, reliability and top-level service."

Casino content developer Realistic Games has made its market debut in Romania after signing a new partnership with the prominent operator Superbet.

This new partnership will see Realistic bring an initial batch of fan-favorite titles to the Romanian market for the first time, following the certification of 52 of its titles last year.

“Expanding into new markets is a key component of our growth aims throughout the year and we are thrilled to have our games available in Romania for the first time via an established and respected operator like Superbet,” said Amy Brewis, Account Manager at Realistic Games. “We are excited to see players’ reception to our titles as we continue to expand our reach across the region post-debut.”

Romania’s national regulator, the ONJN, has approved 15 of the studio’s popular games for use in the rollout with Superbet, including two recent slots Book of Charms and Gorilla Riches as well as table games such as European Roulette.

The accreditation in one of Europe’s most buoyant markets will allow Realistic to partner with multiple leading operators in Romania, with the Superbet agreement being indicative of the provider’s ambitions in the region.

This new development will allow Realistic’s new wave of contemporary titles to be played by a significant number of new customers and encompasses its goals of wider global expansion through the delivery of fresh, engaging content.

“For us here at Superbet, having a flourishing exclusive games offer is a strategic must,” said Mark Flood, Gaming Director at Superbet. “We want to offer a great variety of slots, and to remain the first choice for Romanian players who want a unique and responsible gaming experience, with a trustworthy casino. We are delighted to announce the debut of our Realistic Games partnership and we are happy to see that its games, apart from being fun, are a key component in our responsible gaming strategy.”

Paysafe, a leading payments platform, today announced its expansion into the new Massachusetts mobile sports-betting market. Paysafe is live and powering play and payments safely for multiple mobile sportsbooks in New England’s most populated state, ensuring that players can seamlessly fund their accounts by debit card and other online payment solutions.

The Massachusetts sports-betting market, which Legal Sports Report projects will generate $295.25m+ in first-year revenue, becomes the 26th American iGaming jurisdiction in which Paysafe supports operators with online payments. Paysafe’s Massachusetts move also extends its longstanding payments relationships with the Boston-headquartered DraftKings Inc., a partnership that dates back to 2013 and today spans 21 states, and Caesars Entertainment, Inc., whose 21-state partnership with Paysafe began in 2012, among other operators.

Now, sports bettors in the Bay State wanting to wager with these operators’ iOS or Android mobile sports-betting apps on their smart phones or tablets can make frictionless and secure deposits into their player account using their debit card. All transactions are processed in a matter of seconds by Paysafe’s own best-in-class payment gateway.

The Paysafe platform will also allow sports-betting operators in Massachusetts to access a suite of the payment provider’s own alternative payment methods as well as third-party APM solutions.

Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, said: “We’re excited to expand into Massachusetts, my home state and an important milestone in the evolution of the U.S. iGaming industry, with its passionate sports culture and pivotal industry role in the development of daily fantasy sports and now sports betting. We’re also proud to extend our longstanding relationships with several major sports-betting partners into this new market, and we look forward to helping them maximize their player acquisition and retention in Massachusetts, just as we’ve done in multiple other U.S. states.”

Realistic Games launches Catch 22 exclusively with Entain

BY: 바카라

Casino content developer Realistic Games has launched its new fishing-themed slot Catch 22 for an exclusive initial period with the Entain Group.

One of the studio’s most anticipated releases of the year, Catch 22 can only be enjoyed on the renowned operator’s brands including Ladbrokes Casino, bwin Casino and PartyCasino until 5 May when it is made available to the general network.

Catch 22 is played across 6x4 reels and has symbols in keeping with the overall nautical theme depicting fish, tackle, floats and more that must form a matching combination across 4,096 winning ways to create a win.

At least three scatter symbols award 10 free spins. However, players can unlock up to 50 free spins for landing additional scatters. In the bonus, these scatters are replaced by fishermen that reel in any fish symbols on the gameboard and award their instant cash prize.

Additional innovative features stand this fishing game out from the crowd, such as unlimited respins awarded for landing a fisherman without any fish and the Catch 22 mechanic, which turns all symbols into instant cash awarding fish whenever two fishermen are on the reels simultaneously.

The new release continues Realistic’s drive with content that delivers engaging and entertaining hits with a modern approach and follows recent successful releases including Chilli Master and Book of Charms.

Alice Timson, Head of Account Management at Realistic Games, said: “Catch 22 has been in development for some time and is a title that we’ve been particularly excited about, so to launch it with Entain exclusively is a real feather in our cap and the perfect platform to showcase it to the market.

“We’d like to thank Entain for its cooperation in making this happen and look forward to an incredibly successful launch.”
