OKTO, the next-gen Payment Service Provider, has officially launched its direct card in solution in Mexico, marking another milestone in its mission to deliver orchestrated payment experiences across Latin America. The new service is seamlessly connected to Mexico’s local payment rails, enabling real-time card deposits that are fully aligned with the country’s financial infrastructure.

This launch forms part of OKTO’s Orchestrated Pay-ins and Payouts strategy, designed to simplify and optimize every stage of the payment journey for merchants and users. With card payments representing more than 25% of Mexico’s iGaming audience, the solution provides operators with direct access to a major segment of players who rely on the convenience, familiarity, and trust of card-based deposits.

By integrating directly with licensed local acquirers, OKTO removes unnecessary intermediaries, giving merchants greater control over their payment flows, more competitive pricing structures, and strengthened fraud management. This direct connection results in faster processing times, higher approval rates, and a smoother experience that meets the expectations of both operators and players in a rapidly expanding market.

Momentum is already building, with five merchants preparing to go live on the platform. This early adoption highlights the strong demand for localized, compliant, and frictionless payment solutions within Mexico’s iGaming ecosystem. The card in service complements the existing SPEI in and out local payment options available through the OKTO platform, further enhancing the breadth of payment capabilities for merchants in the region.

Following the successful rollout of real-time account-to-account payments in Peru last month, OKTO continues to expand its footprint across Latin America with solutions tailored to each market’s regulatory and consumer landscape. The launch in Mexico reinforces OKTO’s commitment to empowering merchants with payment services that drive conversion, efficiency, and sustainable growth.

“Mexico represents a key market in OKTO’s Latin American expansion strategy. Our direct card-in solution directly addresses the needs of a significant portion of iGaming users who continue to prefer card payments, combining this familiarity with the speed, reliability, and control of OKTO’s payment gateway. By integrating with Mexico’s local acquiring network, we help merchants reduce costs, increase approval rates, and deliver the fast, seamless deposit experience that players expect from trusted, high-performing brands,” said Thomas Georgopoulos, COO at OKTO.

Evoplay brings the emerald isle to life in Patrick’s Club: Three Pots

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has launched Patrick’s Club: Three Pots, a St. Patrick’s Day-themed slot that blends immersive gameplay with a classic Irish charm.

Set in an exclusive Irish lounge bathed in emerald light, the game invites players to meet Patrick himself on the reels and explore a world filled with magic and fortune.

At the core of the experience are three enchanted pots, each guarding a unique pathway to winnings. Collecting Bonus symbols gives players the chance to trigger Free Spins, where distinct boosters alter gameplay dynamics and amplify the potential for big wins.

  • The purple pot unlocks Mystery symbols, revealing high- or low-value icons at the end of each spin.

  • The red pot activates the Linked Reels feature, synchronising between two and five adjacent reels to create additional winning combinations.

  • The blue pot brings the Both Ways modifier into play, paying wins from left to right and right to left, effectively doubling opportunities.

Each Bonus symbol carries the chance to activate its corresponding Magic Pot and award Free Spins—12, 16, or 20 spins depending on how many pots are triggered. Players can also opt for the Bonus Chance feature to improve their chances of entering Free Spins, or use the Bonus Buy option to jump directly into the action with one, two, or all three boosters.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said:

Patrick’s Club: Three Pots is our take on the popular St. Patrick’s Day theme. We have created a world for players to step into, where they will be met by mystery and big-win potential.

“The three Magic Pots each offer a unique gameplay twist, giving players multiple ways to experience the excitement.”
