SoftSwiss
The leading B2B iGaming platform for crypto-friendly online casinos — founded in 2008 and now powering more than 1,200 brands worldwide, including many of the offshore casinos accepting Australian players.
SoftSwiss launched in September 2008 as an IT outsourcing startup in Minsk and pivoted into the iGaming sector in 2012, debuting its casino platform at ICE London in 2013. The same year, SoftSwiss became the first major B2B platform to integrate native Bitcoin support, defining the template that almost every modern crypto casino has followed since.
The company has scaled significantly over the past decade and now employs more than 2,000 people across offices in Estonia, Malta, Poland and Georgia, supplying its platform to 1,200+ iGaming brands globally. SoftSwiss operates a “casino-as-a-service” model: operators subscribe to the platform, choose their game catalogue from 200+ aggregated studios, configure their bonus rules and payment methods, and SoftSwiss handles the underlying tech — game integration, player accounts, payment processing, regulatory reporting and infrastructure.
For Australian players, SoftSwiss is the single most important platform to understand. The majority of offshore casinos serving the AU market run on it, including most of the well-rated crypto casinos in our directory. Knowing a casino is SoftSwiss-powered tells you the underlying tech is solid, the game library is broad, AUD and crypto are both supported, and live dealer integration is likely available — but it tells you nothing about the operator’s player treatment, which is set by the casino brand on top of the platform.
SoftSwiss FAQs
What is SoftSwiss and what does it do for an online casino?
SoftSwiss is a B2B (business-to-business) iGaming platform — it does not run casinos directly. Instead it supplies the underlying software that operators license to launch their own brands, including the casino lobby, game aggregation from 200+ studios, payment processing (including native cryptocurrency support), bonus engine, player accounts and back-office tools. When you play at a SoftSwiss-powered casino in Australia, the operator owns the brand and the player relationship; SoftSwiss provides the platform underneath.
Why are SoftSwiss casinos so common at offshore Australian-facing operators?
SoftSwiss was the first major iGaming platform to integrate native cryptocurrency support, launching its Bitcoin-focused casino solution in 2013. That early lead made it the default choice for offshore operators serving markets where banking through traditional payment rails is restricted — including Australia. Most Australian-facing crypto casinos in our directory (Bitstarz, Bulletz and others) run on SoftSwiss because it bundles AUD support, broad cryptocurrency options and a large game library out of the box.
Are casinos powered by SoftSwiss safer than other platforms?
SoftSwiss itself is a well-established Estonia-headquartered company with regulatory approvals across multiple European markets, and the platform's technology is solid. However, SoftSwiss licences the platform to operators — and the operator, not SoftSwiss, decides player treatment, withdrawal policies and dispute handling. Two SoftSwiss casinos can have very different reputations depending on the operator behind them. A SoftSwiss-powered casino is not automatically safe for Australian players; check the casino's own track record (Casino Guru, AskGamblers, TrustPilot) before depositing.
Which game studios are available at SoftSwiss casinos?
SoftSwiss aggregates content from more than 200 game studios under a single integration. The lineup typically includes Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play'n GO, Evolution Gaming (live dealer), BGaming (a SoftSwiss sister studio), Big Time Gaming, Yggdrasil and dozens of smaller specialists. The exact game catalogue varies by operator because each casino chooses which studios to enable on its own platform instance.
Can Australian players deposit in AUD at SoftSwiss casinos?
Yes — SoftSwiss supports AUD as a base currency, so Australian players can deposit and play in dollars without conversion fees at most SoftSwiss-powered casinos. The platform also supports PayID, Visa, Mastercard, e-wallets and 12+ cryptocurrencies, though which methods a specific casino enables depends on the operator's banking integration. Crypto deposits and withdrawals are typically the fastest route on SoftSwiss casinos, often processed within an hour.
