iSoftBet was founded in 2010 as an online game developer and aggregation business. It ceased to be an independent supplier after IGT completed a €160 million acquisition in July 2022, a deal that took the combined proprietary online catalogue to roughly 225 games at the time.
What happened to iSoftBet?
The acquisition combined iSoftBet’s games, aggregation platform and engagement tools with IGT PlayDigital. The iSoftBet name now describes a legacy catalogue and technology lineage inside IGT rather than a separate studio taking new commercial contracts under its old identity.
There was another corporate change in July 2025. Apollo-managed funds acquired the former IGT Gaming and Digital business and Everi, then combined them as a privately held company operating under the IGT name.
This history matters when you search for a game. Older reviews and casino menus may still label titles as iSoftBet, while current supplier documents and support routes may use IGT or IGT PlayDigital.
Games from the iSoftBet catalogue
iSoftBet produced original slots as well as branded and licensed releases. Well-known proprietary names include Hot Spin, Gold Digger, Western Gold, Majestic Megaways and Moriarty Megaways.
The catalogue mixed traditional paylines with Hold & Win-style respins, cascading reels and Megaways releases. Megaways was licensed from Big Time Gaming, so it should not be treated as an iSoftBet invention.
Hot Shots, released around the 2018 football tournament in Russia, is one example already covered on The Slots Geek. It uses 243 ways to win, cross-shaped expanding wilds and free spins with a multiplier.
Branded work was another strand of the business, although licences for films, television programmes and personalities can expire. A title mentioned in an older iSoftBet catalogue is therefore not guaranteed to remain available today.
Aggregation was as important as the games
iSoftBet’s Game Aggregation Platform, usually shortened to GAP, connected operators to proprietary and third-party content through one integration. The platform also supported tools for campaigns, jackpots and player engagement.
That part of the business helps explain why IGT bought the company. The deal added distribution technology and relationships with outside studios, not just a folder of slot files.
For players, aggregation should be mostly invisible. It affects how games reach a site and how promotions are managed, while the rules, RTP and volatility still belong to the individual title and its approved configuration.
Licensing and present-day status
iSoftBet served regulated markets across Europe and other regions before the acquisition. IGT’s current public licensing notice includes ISB Albion Limited among the companies licensed by the British Gambling Commission, under account number 54705.
The current IGT group says that its businesses collectively hold more than 500 gaming licences worldwide. That group total should not be read as a list of countries in which every legacy iSoftBet game is approved.
Local certification and operator decisions can remove a game or change the RTP option offered. The help or information screen inside the live version remains the best place to confirm the rules that apply to your session.
How to read the iSoftBet label today
Treat iSoftBet as a useful catalogue marker, much like an imprint retained after a publisher changes ownership. It tells you where a game originated, but IGT is the relevant current business for platform, distribution and corporate information.
The older games remain varied enough that there is no single iSoftBet formula. Check each title on its own merits, especially its maths settings and whether a named feature is part of the base game or an optional promotion.
