From the esports perspective, the hugely popular Counter-Strike titles account for almost 75% of all bets. In addition, the rise in the popularity of League of Legends is also noteworthy, with its share of esports betting exceeding 15%.
The FIFA World Cup 2022 played a huge role in captivating bettors, attracting 37.5% of all sports bets during the winter tournament timeframe. The average bet at the tournament was 74 EUR, and the most popular match was the final duel between Argentina & France. However, the most profitable match in terms of betting was Morocco vs Spain, where Morocco, the 'Cinderella' of the World Cup, beat the favourites in the championship.
The Sportsbook has increased its GGR by 485% year-on-year, while the total bets rose by 795%, and the turnover was up by 654%. These spectacular numbers highlight the important area of growth the Sportsbook platform unlocks for SOFTSWISS.
Alexander Kamenetskyi comments on the product growth: “We are thrilled that the Sportsbook is growing on all fronts: bets, turnover, profits, and of course, its functionality".
"The flexible margin system mastered by our risk team has been a major contributing factor. Twenty new projects and three platforms have also helped us achieve this phenomenal growth. The launch of unique bonuses contributed to the attraction and retention of players in the projects, which also played a significant role”, Kamenetskyi added.
2022, in particular, was a breakthrough year for the solution, with the comprehensive back-end work allowing it to be integrated with the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, ensuring that operators get two high-quality products in one swift link.
“I want to thank the team and partners for bringing our big cross-product integration to life. It is really hard and professional effort that has gone a long way to meeting the demands of our clients. I am confident it will help us develop even faster and grow even more in 2023!” extends thanks Mr. Kamenetskyi.
