Befitting its status as one of the iGaming industry’s premier content providers, Betsoft Gaming was named Best Casino Supplier of the year at the 2018 Malta iGaming Excellence Awards.

The second annual awards-giving ceremony, the Malta iGaming Excellence Awards 2018 (hereafter “MIGEA”) took place on 25th May. More than 20 different awards were distributed by hosts, after being adjudicated by a panel that included representatives from the country’s Gaming Authority, as well as high-profile consultants, iGaming experts, legal firms, and investment bodies.

While the MIGEA terms stipulated that, to be shortlisted, companies must demonstrate a strong connection with Malta, competition remained fierce for marquee awards such as Best Casino Supplier.  Many of the world’s leading casino content providers have maintained operations in the island nation for many years, so Betsoft ran against various well-established names before being honoured as Malta’s finest supplier of online slot games and supporting solutions.

And while the judging criteria were far-ranging, Betsoft’s success was attributed to the company’s compelling content portfolio – including the sought-after Slots3™ series – as well as its forward-thinking platforms and frameworks.  These include the Shift™ HTML5 development environment, the comprehensive Casino Manager back office platform, and Vault, a new solution designed to extend Betsoft’s presence to emerging markets where data connectivity is normally considered an insurmountable obstacle.

This regional award comes just over a month since Betsoft’s broader international impact was honoured with the award of Best B2B Digital Platform and Solution at G2E Asia, as Betsoft’s Account Management Director, Julian Camilleri, explained.

“We believe constant innovation leads to cutting-edge content, which means that our teams in Malta and overseas are experienced in reacting to an ever-changing global market,” Camilleri said. “I know that everyone here is rightly proud of our Maltese presence and heritage; this small country has always had an impact that far outweighs its size, and we are thrilled to be a part of securing that reputation. But at the same time, we are excited to have been recognised for our work twice in as many months  – nationally and internationally. We may be based in Malta, but we also pride ourselves on delivering excellent content and class-leading support to regulated markets around the world.”
