Soft2bet – celebrating 5-years of success at iGB Live!/iGB Affiliate Amsterdam

Soft2bet, the casino and sportsbook platform, will be in celebratory mood when the industry gathers at the forthcoming iGB Live!/iGB Affiliate Amsterdam (28 September – 1 October). Not only is the brand the show’s biggest exhibitor and sponsor, but it will also be marking its’ 5th anniversary – a landmark that’s seen it grow exponentially, expanding from just a couple of employees to its’ current headcount of 700 industry professionals. The company’s PR Director, Hazma Afifi, provides his thoughts on what to look out for in Amsterdam.
What are you looking to achieve from your presence at iGB Live!/iGB Affiliate Amsterdam – what are your key objectives?
HA: “Attending iGB Live!/iGB Affiliate Amsterdam will allow us to network, build professional contacts, and strengthen the connections we already have. Moreover, we are very excited about the event as we know it holds its niche in finding interesting subjects and attracting key industry thought leaders. In addition, we are looking to share the knowledge and the company’s achievements with other professionals to positively affect the iGaming industry. We have chosen to take the stage at iGB Live!/iGB Affiliate Amsterdam to connect with more qualified industry decision-makers and have an immediate interaction with the customers. Of course, that would enable us to establish and deepen those relationships, as well as allow us to interact with other peers and establish exciting new partnerships.”
What do you think the major industry talking points/trends will be at show?
HA: “Over time, the iGaming industry has revealed many revolutions and these reforms go on and have evolved to introduce some technological advances as well. I believe the key topics will revolve around cryptocurrencies in the iGaming world, regulatory regimes, changing consumer habits, virtual reality casino games, and I’m confident there will be many more talking points – which is an important part of why people attend live events.”
It’s the company’s 5th birthday this month: how will you be celebrating the landmark and what have been the highlights of the last five years?
HA: “In celebration of Soft2Bet’s 5th anniversary, we threw a marvellous party for all of our employees that included international and local artists. In addition, we have prepared team-building activities to help bond with each other and also have a great time. The past five years were beneficial for establishing a number of unique brands and delivering a more enjoyable experience for customers. Over the last five years Soft2Bet has expanded and developed from having just a couple of employees to over 700 industry professionals, which I regard as being our biggest single accomplishment.”
What’s unique about the services that you offer?
HA: “Soft2Bet’s multi-brand line-up comprises ten unique casinos and sportsbook projects, with new brands, games, and functionality integrated monthly. We offer thousands of casino games from both industry-leading casino providers as well as smaller developers. Soft2Bet builds its casino platforms utilizing the most advanced and most reliable technologies. Moreover, we invest all the necessary resources to produce everything in-house and deliver ready-to-use completely licensed brands that target customers across a range of regulated markets. When it comes to our brands, the design and layout are crucial because they affect how our audience perceives the project. We pay a lot of attention to functionality, loading speed, and sharp graphics. In addition, Soft2Bet makes sure to add gamification elements to the brands to further engage users by allowing them to play games within games.”
What impact has Covid-19 and the restrictions imposed on populations throughout the world had on your business? Has Covid led to more people playing online?
HA: “Lockdown has impacted the iGaming world in many jurisdictions and we have seen a climb in the growth of visitors to our casino and sportsbook websites. The pandemic has caused a fundamental change in the way the conventional gambling industry used to work. Of course, this has influenced the gambling behaviour of players, so Soft2Bet takes special care when onboarding brand-new clients and makes sure to take steps to permanently strengthen and promote a safe gambling environment.”
To run a successful online casino business how important is it to find the right partner?
HA: “Choosing the right partner is extremely important. It strengthens our record of knowledge, proficiency, and resources available to create more solid products and reach a vaster audience. When we put all of these together, accompanying the 360-degree evaluation, the business can skyrocket. The right business partnership means reinforcing the overall ideology of the entire company.”

StatsDrone now supports over 2000 affiliate program integrations

StatsDrone has achieved a significant milestone in their journey to being the best affiliate stats app both with accurate data and with the most affiliate program integrations.
The company recently achieved a milestone of over 2000 affiliate program integrations. Most of the integrations are for iGaming affiliate programs while others include affiliate networks, finance affiliate programs and crypto related programs.
Since launching the app over 4 years ago, the other milestone achieved is nearly 1200 affiliate programs marked as migrated or closed.
The multi-award winning app connects to affiliate programs through credentials using scraping or through using API keys. API data is supported by 61% of affiliate programs listed on StatsDrone currently as of August 2025.
COO and Co-Founder Darrell Helyar had this to say about the milestone: “Achieving this milestone reaffirms StatsDrone’s position as a leader in affiliate marketing, enabling affiliates to optimize performance and drive results. With an exceptional team committed to accuracy, innovation, and support, we continue to build trust and deliver outstanding results for everyone we support.”
The data that StatsDrone can get for customers is on the following levels: account, brand, campaign, dynamic variables and postbacks.
Dynamic variables, advanced data solutions for affiliates
Dynamic variables are proving to be one of the more popular tools offered at StatsDrone.
Dynamic variables is supported with the following affiliate program software: MyAffiliate, ReferOn, Mexos, CellXpert, Income Access, Affilka (SoftSwiss), RavenTrack, Alanbase, tap (Smartico), MAP, Post Affiliate Pro, Affise, Affelios, Entain / BetMGM, FlexOffers, NetRefer and PartnerMatrix.
Postbacks are currently available in StatsDrone for MyAffiliates, Affilka, Affise, Cellxpert and a few more.
StatsDrone helps affiliates identify when affiliate programs closed or migrate affiliate software which can render their old tracking links as invalid.
Finding affiliate programs
StatsDrone doesn’t just have 2000 affiliate program integrations but every integration is a review and part of our program database.
Affiliates can search for programs by affiliate software, if they have an API for accessing their data, postbacks, dynamic variables and exclusive deals too.
By far the most common integration technically falls under proprietary which means operators that choose to build their own affiliate program and not use a platform.
MyAffiliates has been the most popular platform as operators choose to launch their platform off of. Affilka, ReferOn and RavenTrack have been the fastest growing platforms.
On top of getting stats to affiliates, the company does it all with accuracy in mind. If an affiliate finds any data point not to be what it should be, they can report it to the StatsDrone team to have it fixed.
Likewise, if an affiliate wants a single program added, it is added to the list and most of the time the program is added within minutes.
