The relocation of ICE, the iGaming industry’s largest trade fair, from London to Barcelona marks a significant milestone. The IMF has named Spain the ‘best-performing economy’ globally by the end of 2024. With Spain’s Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) reaching €1.24 billion in 2023, the decision underscores the country’s growing influence in the industry.
As a global leader in iGaming, SOFTSWISS showcased its cutting-edge software solutions. One of the key highlights was the company’s Game Aggregator, the largest game hub in the market, featuring a portfolio of over 27,800 games from 280+ providers. Fully certified in security and technical compliance both in new regulated markets such as Peru and Brazil, as well as established European markets like Spain, the event’s host country, this solution ensures seamless integration for operators while adhering to regulatory requirements.
“We are thrilled to be part of ICE 2025, especially in this historic edition in Barcelona. The relocation of ICE from London to Barcelona underscores the maturity of Spain’s iGaming industry. This move not only cements the city’s status as a major hub for iGaming but is also poised to positively impact the local economy through increased tourism, business opportunities, and industry innovation,” said Valentina Bagniya, Chief Marketing Officer at SOFTSWISS. She also highlighted that Barcelona is becoming a tech hub for innovation, blending high-quality standards with global visibility.
SOFTSWISS also showcased its new marketing campaign through a live performance by Slim Safont, the renowned local artist with iconic works in Los Angeles, Italy, and New York.
On the opening day, the company surprised attendees by unveiling its new marketing campaign, ‘Hungry for Success? Dive in with SOFTSWISS’. The idea was brought to life through a powerful shark image symbolising strength, leadership, and technological superiority. Visitors had the opportunity to explore the concept at the SOFTSWISS booth, as well as participate in Slim Safont’s live performance, co-creating the image of the technological shark in front of the venue.
Slim Safont stated: “These types of visual activations allow brands to connect with their audience, and in this case, thanks to the participation of the fair’s attendees, we succeeded in creating a more engaging and memorable experience.”
In addition to product updates, SOFTSWISS demonstrated its commitment to exploring new markets and sharing its expertise.

Compliance Updates
Vixio Finds Over €36m in AML Fines Issued in Europe in the Last Year

Vixio, a leading provider of regulatory intelligence solutions, is proud to announce its Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Outlook, which found that regulators are cracking down on money laundering weaknesses with severe consequences, totaling over €36m in fines from March 2024 to March 2025 in Europe alone.
Vixio’s AML Outlook examines the challenges of complying with AML requirements in jurisdictions around the world, outlines regulators’ efforts to thwart criminal activity, and considers how payments and gambling firms can prevent being caught up in money laundering scandals.
The report found that in the last year, in the European area alone, there have been around 30 enforcement actions from regulators fining payments and e-money firms for falling short in their adherence to AML/CTF rules.
Financial institutions found to have money laundering weaknesses face profound consequences, with prosecutors and regulators alike generally unwilling to be empathetic on this matter. For example:
- In March 2025, Germany’s regulator, BaFin, fined Ratepay €25,000 over suspected money laundering.
- In February 2025, Estonia’s Money Laundering Data Bureau revoked B2BX Digital Exchange OÜ’s licence for failing to implement proper customer due diligence, transaction monitoring and risk assessments.
- The Bank of Lithuania, meanwhile, revoked Foxpay’s licence in November 2024 for systemic AML/CTF and governance failures, including fund mismanagement and conflicts of interest.
John Gidla, Head of Payments Compliance, Vixio, explains, “Although AML compliance involves significant costs for payments firms – including investment in transaction monitoring systems, customer due diligence (CDD) processes and ongoing staff training – the consequences of failure can be significant. In addition to financial penalties, failing to prevent money laundering can severely damage a firm’s reputation, leading to loss of customers, partners and investor confidence. Maintaining a strong compliance framework is crucial for preserving trust and long-term business viability.”
Until now, the EU’s AML enforcement has been more fragmented, but the EU’s new Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) could be a significant step towards addressing AML enforcement and closing gaps that criminals have been exploiting for years.
Regulatory scrutiny means that firms need to implement know your customer (KYC) procedures, monitor transactions on their systems for suspicious activity and report concerns through suspicious activity reports (SARs) to the relevant authorities.
