iGaming software provider SOFTSWISS has won two awards at the GamingTECH CEE Awards 2026, reinforcing its position in the Central and Eastern Europe iGaming market.
The company’s Game Aggregator product was named Best Casino Aggregator, while Valentina Bagniya was awarded CEE Influencer of the Year. The ceremony took place on March 24 at the HIPTHER Prague Summit in the Czech Republic.
The Best Casino Aggregator award recognises the scale, reliability and engagement capabilities of the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, which offers more than 40,000 games from over 300 providers across 24 regulated jurisdictions. The platform provides 99.999% uptime, maintaining stable performance during peak demand.
The win marks the second award for the Game Aggregator this year, after it secured the Best Aggregator 2026 title at the SiGMA Eurasia event in Dubai.
Bagniya was recognised for her impact on industry thinking and knowledge-sharing across Europe, with judges highlighting several initiatives led in 2025, including the 2026 iGaming Trends report and the 2026 iGaming Trends Marathon, a four-hour live conference at SiGMA Central Europe.
Judges also cited marketing campaigns such as the live assembly of an Alfa Romeo 4C at the company’s stand during the SiGMA Central Europe Summit 2025, as well as her contributions as a speaker, judge and media commentator.
“Winning ‘Best Casino Aggregator’ reflects what our partners already know – our product approach works across diverse regulated markets, and Central and Eastern Europe is no exception. We will continue to invest in product development here,” Bagniya said.
“As for the Influencer of the Year award, it belongs to the entire SOFTSWISS team, whose expertise and dedication made this title possible,” she added.
The recognition marks Bagniya’s second individual award this year, after being named Woman in iGaming at the SiGMA Africa Awards 2026.
The 2026 iGaming Trends report, which contributed to her recognition, provides insights on regulation, artificial intelligence adoption, marketing trends and responsible gambling across global markets, and is available for free download on the company’s website.
