Exclusive: Digitain Malta CCO Gil Soffer on Regulation, Technology Innovation, and Global iGaming Expansion

In an exclusive interview with iGaming News Today, Gil Soffer, Chief Commercial Officer of Digitain Malta, reflects on a career spanning law, entrepreneurship, telecommunications, and senior leadership across the global gaming industry. Having held key roles at major companies including Playtech, PariPlay (now part of Aristocrat), Skywind, and Galaxsys, he has been directly involved in scaling businesses and navigating the sector’s rapid transformation.
In the conversation that follows, Soffer discusses his journey into iGaming, the evolution of Digitain’s technology ecosystem, what differentiates the company in a highly competitive B2B landscape, its strategic priorities for 2026, and the growing importance of regulation and compliance as operators expand across global markets.

Q1. Can you briefly introduce yourself and share your journey in the iGaming industry?

Gil:

I have been in the gaming industry for around 18 years. Before that, I worked as a lawyer and entrepreneur and built several telecom companies that were later sold to a publicly traded company.
After entering the iGaming space, I worked with well-known companies such as Playtech, PariPlay (which is now part of Aristocrat), and Skywind. In many of these roles, my focus was helping companies grow from early-stage businesses into larger global players.
Later, I joined Galaxsys, where we expanded the portfolio significantly. At the beginning of last year, I joined Digitain Malta as Chief Commercial Officer.

Q2. For readers who may not be familiar with Digitain, could you give an overview of the company and its main products?

Gil:

Digitain is a large technology provider in the iGaming industry with a wide portfolio of products. The company originally started in the sportsbook space about 20 years ago, and today it offers a complete ecosystem of solutions.
Our offering includes a powerful sportsbook, the Centrivo iGaming platform, managed trading services, and retail sportsbook solutions. In addition, we provide casino aggregation through Relum, our payment gateway Paydrom, and proprietary casino content through Galaxsys, an established studio with a diverse portfolio of over 60 games, ranging from crash and fast games to slots.
We also operate Imagine Live, our live dealer product, which competes with major providers such as Evolution, Pragmatic Play, and Playtech. Today, Digitain has around 5,000 employees globally, with offices in multiple countries, including its European hubs in Malta and Romania, and continues to invest heavily in technology and innovation.

Q3. What makes Digitain different from other iGaming providers in the market?

Gil:

One of the biggest differences is our long-term vision. Many companies in the industry focus on short-term growth with the goal of selling the business quickly. Digitain is different because our owners are focused on building sustainable products and investing in long-term development.
Another key factor is product quality. Our philosophy is simple: we build first and lead later. We do not bring products to market unless they meet very high standards. We want to deliver solutions that are truly best-of-breed.
This approach has helped us build strong credibility in regulated markets and establish long-term partnerships with operators.

Q4. What are Digitain’s main strategic priorities for 2026?

Gil:

The main focus for 2026 is strengthening our relationships with Tier-1 and Tier-2 operators in regulated markets.
Digitain already provides a wide range of solutions, from sportsbooks and platforms to casino engines, casino content, aggregation, and live dealer products. Our goal is to position Digitain as a complete solution provider where operators can access everything they need within a single ecosystem.
We are already signing new agreements with major operators in regulated markets, and we believe this momentum will continue as more companies look for reliable and compliant technology partners.

Q5. How important are regulation and compliance for Digitain’s global expansion?

Gil:

Regulation is becoming increasingly important in the iGaming industry. Today, almost every jurisdiction has its own rules and compliance requirements.
Digitain has invested heavily in obtaining licenses and certifications across multiple regulated markets, including Europe and Latin America. In 2024, we also obtained a UKGC license, one of the most demanding regulatory approvals in the industry. More recently, we received UKGC certifications for our sportsbook and iGaming platform, confirming that Digitain’s technology meets the rigorous regulatory and technical standards required to operate in one of the world’s most demanding iGaming markets.
This allows operators to work with us confidently, knowing that our technology and solutions meet strict regulatory standards across different markets.

Key Message from Digitain

Digitain’s philosophy can be summarized in three ideas: long-term vision, product quality, and sustainable growth. The company focuses on building strong technology and reliable partnerships rather than short-term success.

Industry Perspective

The global iGaming industry is increasingly shaped by regulatory expansion, technological innovation, and operator demand for scalable infrastructure. As more jurisdictions introduce regulatory frameworks, operators are seeking technology providers capable of delivering compliant and reliable solutions across multiple markets.
Companies such as Digitain are responding by developing integrated technology ecosystems that combine sportsbook platforms, casino aggregation, payment solutions, and proprietary content. This ecosystem approach allows operators to access multiple services from a single technology partner while ensuring compliance with evolving regulatory requirements.
