SOFTSWISS Receives Green Light In South Africa From NRCS!

SOFTSWISS, a renowned provider of software solutions for the iGaming industry, has successfully secured the green light in South Africa. The company has been granted a Letter of Certification (LoC) by the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS) for both its Casino Platform and Sportsbook. This certification comes under the South African B2B manufacture license, enabling SOFTSWISS to solidify its presence in this rapidly growing market.

Acquisition and Alignment with Turfsport

The path to this certification was paved through the strategic purchase of a significant stake in Turfsport, a veteran South African software supplier with 35 years of industry experience. Earlier this year, SOFTSWISS finalized its acquisition, integrating its product offerings with those of Turfsport. This move enhanced SOFTSWISS’s capacities and enabled a seamless entry into the South African market, where Turfsport already had a significant presence.

A recent survey accomplished by InfoQuest sheds light on gambling habits in South Africa. The survey reveals that sports betting is the most dominant form of gambling, with individuals placing bets on sports around 12 times a month on average. Casino gambling and horse betting see expanded popularity on weekends, while lottery and online betting activities are dispersed throughout the week due to their online accessibility. Additionally, the survey shows that the typical South African gambler participates in three different types of gambling several times per month, showing the important role gambling plays in the nation’s leisure activities.

The not-so-long-ago published SOFTSWISS market review for South Africa shows a high growth in interest in esports and fantasy sports, especially among younger, tech-savvy individuals. According to Statista, 51% of survey participants in South Africa are interested in esports betting. Additionally, the National Gambling Board (NGB) reports that 39% of players are inclined towards fantasy sports betting, particularly in sports such as soccer, cricket, and rugby. These trends mirror global patterns and suggest that these sectors have a bright future in the South African market.
