These are the insights discovered during a deep client research held for SOFTSWISS, a leading innovative tech company for iGaming.

WINNING IGAMING PROVIDER PORTRAIT
In 2022 the most important characteristics of an iGaming partner are the following:
- Transparent cooperation
- Services and products that meet the needs of your company
- Support in income generation activities
- Prompt resolution of tech issues and response
- Flexibility when discussing the terms of cooperation
'Provider is truly your financial partner today' has climbed up the importance charts. This time, 93% of operators voted for the importance of this criterion against 63% in 2021.
As for the personal touch aspects impacting the decision-making process, SOFTSWISS clients highlighted:
- Provides top service level
- Simple and quick communication with managers

The lowest priority is given to such attributes as an iGaming leader status, positive effect of cooperation on the operator image, and provider influence on the entertainment and gambling industry development.
Research shows, every second client has been working with SOFTSWISS for more than 3 years, and the company is generally described as a long-term partner with expertise in the entertainment industry and deep understanding of the market.
Vitali Matsukevich, Chief Operating Officer at SOFTSWISS, comments on the survey results: "The shift in operator preferences towards flexibility in cooperation, business profitability, and high-quality communication demonstrates that a high-end software offering is not enough to be No.1 iGaming provider. Operators require more high-touch engagement and strategic interaction in partnership. In 2023, we'll continue to give our clients the confidence, security and reliability they need to grow their business."
