Software company Softswiss teams up with Mzansibet for South African debut
SoftSwiss, a leading iGaming software provider, has officially launched its first project in South Africa through a partnership with Mzansibet. This marks SoftSwiss's entry into the South African iGaming market, which is growing annually by 20-25% due to increased mobile usage.
The partnership involves the integration of both SoftSwiss' Sportsbook and Casino platforms on Mzansibet's platform. To ensure full compliance with South African regulations, the project underwent rigorous testing and was certified by the globally recognized Gaming Laboratories International (GLI). The solutions were also approved by the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board, affirming compliance with local standards.
To align with South African player behavior and market expectations, the platform was heavily localized on the frontend. This includes mobile optimization to support the growing mobile player base in the region.
Mzansibet has also launched a nationwide TV advertising campaign and has already attracted tens of thousands of players across the country. With a robust and stable architecture boasting a 99.999% uptime and a flexible platform ecosystem, Mzansibet aims to become a top-tier brand in the South African market.
SoftSwiss is supporting Mzansibet's vision from day one and is well-equipped to ensure its sustainable growth. Max Trafimovich, SoftSwiss' International Non-Executive Director, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to be part of Mzansibet's journey in South Africa. Our solutions and expertise will help them achieve their ambitious goals in the iGaming market."
In addition to this expansion, DigiPlus Interactive Corporation has also announced its intention to expand into the South African market, following its recent rollouts in Brazil. SoftSwiss recently partnered with Eduardo Barrichello for the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship, further solidifying its presence in the global iGaming industry.
As SoftSwiss continues to expand its footprint, it positions itself as a prominent technology provider in the burgeoning South African iGaming market.
The partnership between SoftSwiss and Mzansibet extends beyond sports betting, as both Sportsbook and Casino platforms from SoftSwiss are set to be integrated onto Mzansibet's platform. The platform, previously heavily localized for South African users, now offers a variety of casino-games, including lotteries, to cater to a broader range of iGaming enthusiasts in the region.
