Uri Poliavich, CEO, and founder of Soft2Bet, honored with Leader of the Year Award by SBC Awards.
Who's the Boss at Soft2Bet, and why is everybody going ga-ga over 'em?🗓️ September 27, 2024 🗺️ Lisbon, Portugal
You bet your bottom dollar that Uri Poliavich, the innovative mastermind behind Soft2Bet, just bagged the top prize at the SBC Summit in Lisbon! The Leaders of the Year award from SBC, a big cheese in the iGaming world, was all Poliavich's for exhibiting exceptional leadership, an unquenchable thirst for innovation, and devotion to charitable endeavors.
Since Poliavich established Soft2Bet in 2016, his visionary mind and dedication to building a kick-ass team culture centered on growth and innovation have propelled Soft2Bet from a humble startup to a global powerhouse in B2B and B2C iGaming. With a keen sense for cutting-edge solutions, they've done more than just turned heads — they've turned the iGaming industry on its head!
Last year, Soft2Bet dropped a real game-changer with its Motivational Engineering Gaming Application (MEGA), a revolutionary gamification engine that whipped players into a frenzy with custom challenges, quests, and sweet, sweet rewards. MEGA has boosted player engagement and retention better than a mix of Turkish coffee and Ritalin.
But Poliavich ain't stuck on just his own company. The guy's got his fingers in plenty of pies. Soft2Bet recently launched Soft2Bet Invest, a juicy venture fund pooling over $55 million to help kickstart growth-stage and mature companies in casual gaming, AI, and high-margin gaming software solutions. It's like the first round of investments for the next big iGaming unicorns!
Speaking of the future, Poliavich set up The Yael Foundation, named after his better half, to bolster Jewish schools worldwide. The foundation's dedicated to helping nearly 13,500 kids in 83 schools across 35 countries, spreading learning love all around.
"I'm absolutely stoked to be named Leader of the Year and to have Soft2Bet's innovative Mobile and Casino Entertainment lauded by SBC!" Poliavich exclaimed. "Winning this honor is just another feather in Soft2Bet's cap, showcasing our massive strides in product development and global expansion over the last year, not to mention our team's relentless drive to push boundaries in iGaming."
Rasmus Sojmark, big shot CEO and founder of SBC, commented, "We dig on awarding leadership heroes in our industry, and it's crystal clear that the Soft2Bet gang has dug deep into their dance moves under Uri's leadership over the past year. So congrats to our Leader of the Year — here's to another 12 months of supercharged innovation!"
Now in its 11th year, the SBC Awards not only tip their hats to operators, affiliates, and suppliers across main disciplines, but they also confetti-blast suppliers in areas like payments, marketing, and — as you might have guessed — platform providers. Woot! 🎉🚀🎇
