(AsiaGameHub) –   The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator took home the Best Casino Aggregator award, and Valentina Bagniya, SOFTSWISS’s Chief Marketing Officer, was named CEE Influencer of the Year.

Press release: SOFTSWISS solidified its standing in Central and Eastern Europe’s igaming sector by securing two awards at the GamingTECH CEE Awards 2026. The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator won Best Casino Aggregator, and Valentina Bagniya, SOFTSWISS’s CMO, earned the CEE Influencer of the Year title. The awards ceremony was held on March 24 at the HIPTHER Prague Summit in the Czech Republic.

The Best Casino Aggregator award highlights the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator’s size, dependability, and ability to drive engagement. As one of the market’s biggest content hubs, the solution features over 40,000 games from upwards of 300 providers in 24 regulated regions. The platform delivers 99.999% uptime for operators, ensuring consistent performance even during high-traffic periods.

This marks the Game Aggregator’s second award in 2026. Earlier this year, it won Best Aggregator 2026 at SiGMA Eurasia in Dubai.

Valentina Bagniya received the CEE Influencer of the Year award for her influence on industry discourse and knowledge sharing throughout Europe. The jury highlighted multiple key projects Valentina led in 2025, such as:

• The 2026 iGaming Trends report – which draws on expert input from over 350 igaming professionals and AI-powered analysis of more than 120,000 media headlines.

• The 2026 iGaming Trends Marathon – a four-hour live event at SiGMA Central Europe that debuted a new industry format, transforming the report’s launch into an open, interactive discussion.

• Notable marketing initiatives, like the live assembly of an Alfa Romeo 4C at the SOFTSWISS booth during the SiGMA Central Europe Summit 2025.

The jury also acknowledged Bagniya’s work as a speaker and judge at major industry events, along with her frequent contributions to igaming and business media.

Valentina Bagniya, SOFTSWISS’s CMO, said: “Winning ‘Best Casino Aggregator’ confirms what our partners already understand – our product strategy succeeds in various regulated markets, and Central and Eastern Europe is no different. We’ll keep investing in product development in this region. As for the Influencer of the Year award, it goes to the entire SOFTSWISS team, whose expertise and commitment made this honor possible.”

The CEE Influencer of the Year title is also Bagniya’s second individual award this year – the SOFTSWISS CMO was named Woman in iGaming at the SiGMA Africa Awards 2026.

The 2026 iGaming Trends report, which was instrumental in Bagniya’s recognition, provides data-backed insights on regulation, AI adoption, marketing changes, and responsible gambling across global markets. It’s available for free download on the SOFTSWISS website.
