SOFTSWISS targets Mexico market as Austria updates gambling laws

SOFTSWISS is expanding its presence in the Mexican gambling market. The technology provider plans to showcase its products for Mexico at the SiGMA North America 2026 event in Mexico City, aiming to attract new clients as the online gambling market in the region is expected to grow significantly.

In Austria, a new gambling law is expected to be introduced by autumn, aimed at increasing player protection. Experts and organizations such as Spielsuchthilfe have expressed support for the draft, particularly regarding the implementation of a centralized exclusion database. This database would allow individuals with gambling addictions to be blocked across all providers simultaneously, rather than having to contact each one individually. However, some critics note that deposit limits for young adults may still be too high and suggest that the law should also address cross-border gambling issues.
