SOFTSWISS has launched a major South African project with Mzansibet, marking the first project in the country to utilise both the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook and the SOFTSWISS Casino Platform.
According to SOFTSWISS’ recently released South Africa: iGaming Market Overview 2025, the country’s iGaming sector is growing at an impressive annual rate of 20–25%, driven by increasing mobile penetration
In line with this trend and evolving player needs, SOFTSWISS focuses on mobile optimisation across its platforms, enabling seamless and enjoyable gaming experiences for Mzansibet players.
The launch in South Africa, ensuring full compliance with local technical standards, required meticulous preparation. SOFTSWISS products underwent rigorous certification with Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), one of the most reputable and globally recognised independent testing laboratories in the industry.
Following this process, the solutions were officially approved for local operation by the Western Cape Gambling & Racing Board, a respected and influential regulator in the region, affirming the high quality and compliance of SOFTSWISS software.
Max Trafimovich, International Non-Executive Director at SOFTSWISS, says: “Mzansibet entered the market with a bold ambition to become a top-tier brand, and we are not only proud to support that vision from day one, but also well-equipped to ensure its sustainable growth.
“Leveraging our global and local expertise, we provide the technical, business and service tools necessary for a smooth launch and scalable development. This is made possible thanks to our robust and stable architecture with 99.999% uptime and a flexible platform ecosystem.
“In addition, the brand launched a nationwide TV advertising campaign and has already attracted tens of thousands of players across the country, a powerful testament to its growing presence and trust.”
In addition to backend certification, the SOFTSWISS team invested heavily in frontend localisation to align with the partner’s vision and market requirements.
