iGaming technology provider SOFTSWISS secured four major industry accolades in one night, winning at both the EGR Marketing & Innovation Awards 2025 and Malta’s iGaming Excellence Awards 2025.
At the EGR Marketing & Innovation Awards, SOFTSWISS was named Marketing Team of the Year, marking its third consecutive win at the event. Judges praised the team's use of data analytics, new technologies, and brand storytelling, noting its sustained creativity and performance across campaigns such as Bringing the Heat (2023) and Grab Success (2024).
Valentina Bagniya, Chief Marketing Officer at SOFTSWISS, was also honoured as B2B Marketer of the Year for her role in transforming the company’s marketing strategy and elevating its brand presence across the industry.
“Winning Marketing Team of the Year is an extraordinary achievement that highlights our strength and dedication as a team. Additionally, receiving B2B Marketer of the Year is a deeply meaningful acknowledgement of our collective efforts,” Bagniya said. “These awards are not about individual achievements; they reflect the creativity, commitment, and passion of our entire marketing team.”
Meanwhile, at Malta’s iGaming Excellence Awards, SOFTSWISS founder Ivan Montik received the Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his long-standing contributions to the iGaming sector. Rubens Barrichello, the former Formula 1 driver and the company’s Non-Executive Director in Latin America, was named Best iGaming Influencer of the Year for his impact on content creation and brand outreach.
“It’s significant that our colleagues Ivan Montik and Rubens Barrichello received recognition at Malta’s Gaming Excellence Awards 2025, demonstrating how our leadership vision is increasingly recognised and valued by industry professionals,” Bagniya added. “Moving forward, we remain dedicated to expanding our expertise and actively contributing to the advancement of our industry.”
SOFTSWISS is scheduled to appear at iGB Live in London on 3–4 July, where the team will share its latest insights and developments with industry stakeholders.
