SOFTSWISS releases 2027 Online Gambling Industry Trend Report
Lisbon, Portugal, September 30, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- Global iGaming industry strategic partners SOFTSWISS have released the "2027 iGaming Industry Trends Report," stating that this report serves as an important reference for industry participants to grasp the trends in this field. SOFTSWISS indicates that the new version of the report was co-authored with WorldGaming (formerly Clarion), providing cross-industry analysis, which includes contributions from Amazon Web Services.
SOFTSWISS indicates that this "2027 iGaming Industry Trends Report" has now been released and is available for free download. The company states that the report is based on a survey of over 500 experts and an analysis of more than 480,000 news headlines, and represents a comprehensive study aimed at tracking industry trends, changes, and discourse patterns.
Coinciding with the fifth anniversary of the release of this report, this edition includes a new section “Beyond iGaming”, which provides a horizontal comparison of iGaming with industries such as e-commerce, sports, film, video games, streaming media, online pharmaceuticals, and cryptocurrencies. The comparison dimensions include market size, growth, regulation, and digital maturity.
Vice Chief Marketing Officer SOFTSWISS stated: "The next competitive advantage in the iGaming industry will not come solely from the content itself. It will come from adequate regulatory preparedness, secure payment processes, intelligent risk control, and platforms that can quickly adapt to regulatory changes. Fintech and e-commerce have already set standards in these areas. iGaming operators that can effectively leverage this experience will be better positioned to achieve responsible and profitable growth."
As the lead collaborator and co-author of this report, WorldGaming (formerly Clarion) provided a regional perspective on how regulatory and market changes will shape the industry in 2027, including which jurisdictions are expected to experience the fastest growth, as well as trends that deserve attention.
WorldGaming (formerly Clarion) B2B Global Content Director Robin Harrison states: "This industry is becoming both more global and more localized. Regulations, taxation, payments, competition, and the behavior of participants vary greatly across different markets. Scale can help you expand your business to more regions, but it does not guarantee success. The next generation of leading operators will be those who know how to identify local friction points, how to mitigate these issues, and how to execute effectively."
