SOFTSWISS, a global tech provider with over 15 years of expertise in iGaming, is excited to announce the launch of its first major project in South Africa with Mzansi bet. This initiative is notable for being the first in the country to utilize both the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook and Casino Platform.
According to the recent report South Africa: iGaming Market Overview 2025 by SOFTSWISS, the South African iGaming sector is experiencing impressive growth, with an annual rate of 20–25%. This growth is largely driven by increasing mobile penetration. To meet evolving player needs, SOFTSWISS is focusing on mobile optimization across its platforms, ensuring seamless gaming experiences for Mzansibet players.
The launch required meticulous preparation to ensure full compliance with local technical standards. SOFTSWISS products, including its sports betting software and online casino platform, underwent rigorous certification with Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), a respected independent testing laboratory in the iGaming industry. Following this certification, the solutions received official approval for local operation from the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board, affirming their quality and compliance.
Max Trafimovich, International Non-Executive Director at SOFTSWISS, stated: “Mzansibet entered the market with a bold ambition to become a top-tier brand. We are proud to support that vision from day one and are well-equipped to ensure sustainable growth. Our robust architecture, featuring 99.999% uptime, and flexible platform ecosystem provide the necessary tools for a smooth launch and scalable development. Additionally, Mzansibet has launched a nationwide TV advertising campaign, attracting tens of thousands of players, which demonstrates its growing presence and trust in the market.”
In addition to backend certification, the SOFTSWISS team invested heavily in frontend localization to align the Mzansibet project with South African player behavior and betting patterns.
