SOFTSWISS opens global survey for iGaming trends 2026 report

SOFTSWISS is inviting iGaming professionals worldwide to contribute to its iGaming Trends 2026 report, offering survey participants a chance to win Apple AirTags and an exclusive merchandise bundle.

The report, created in collaboration with NEXT.io, will build on the 2025 edition, which drew more than 13,000 downloads.

The survey is anonymous, though participants may provide contact information if they wish to be quoted in the final report. SOFTSWISS said contributions will help form the foundation of the research, which will cover regulation, marketing, responsible gambling, innovation, and fraud prevention.

The 2025 edition featured more than 100 pages of analysis and, according to SOFTSWISS, became one of the most widely downloaded resources in the industry. The company said the response demonstrated demand for a dedicated research hub focused on iGaming developments.

“The iGaming industry is changing faster than ever, and foresight comes from collective expertise. The strength of iGaming Trends lies in the community behind it. By partnering with NEXT.io, we are making iGaming Trends 2026 the most forward-looking edition yet, built directly on the voices of industry leaders,” said Max Trafimovich, international non-executive director at SOFTSWISS.

SOFTSWISS listed three reasons for industry experts to take part: contributing to a widely read resource, improving professional visibility, and joining a collaborative project produced with NEXT.io for the first time.

“The iGaming Trends report has become a cornerstone resource for our industry, and this year’s edition will be the most collaborative yet. We’re truly excited to be working alongside SOFTSWISS to bring iGaming Trends 2026 to life, ensuring it reflects the voices, insights, and ambitions of the people shaping the future of our sector. At NEXT.io, we believe foresight comes from community, and this partnership embodies that vision,” said NEXT.io co-founder and managing director, Pierre Lindh.

Meanwhile, SOFTSWISS will also be present at SBC Lisbon 2025, Stand B160, where the company said its team will be available to discuss the upcoming iGaming Trends 2026 report.
