DeGaming has launched a Web3 iGaming platform and appointed Ulle Skottling as CEO, with the company positioning on-chain operations as a way to improve transparency across operators, affiliates and players.

The platform’s core product pitch is its proprietary “Glass Vault” technology, which DeGaming says provides real-time proof of funds and independently verifiable visibility of balances, transactions, and payouts.

DeGaming is also offering “Bankroll as a service,” routing transactions through its on-chain transaction engine to provide operators access to scalable liquidity for withdrawals and platform stability. The company said this is designed to reduce friction for operators trying to scale, while giving players visibility into the funds available on the platform.

The supplier said its unified platform combines game access, player account management (PAM) and reporting in a single blockchain-native operational engine. DeGaming added that operators can launch a customisable casino or sportsbook in “as little as two weeks,” including crypto and fiat deposits, automated payouts and a back-office.

Skottling joins as CEO to lead what DeGaming called its next phase. He has held senior roles at RAW iGaming, Videoslots and NetEnt. Skottling said: “The industry has evolved rapidly, but transparency and trust have not kept pace. It runs on what you can’t see, whereas we have built a platform that you can. We are challenging the model and defining the new standard for gaming infrastructure.

“Our Glass Vault technology gives operators, affiliates and players independently verifiable visibility into platform activity and funds in real time. The future of gaming will be built on openness, accountability and infrastructure that all participants genuinely trust.”

Emil Ahmed, co-founder of DeGaming, added: “Appointing Ulle as CEO is an important step in DeGaming’s next phase. We have built the platform around a clear belief that gaming needs more transparency, stronger infrastructure, and greater operational trust. Ulle brings the industry experience, commercial understanding, and leadership needed to take that vision to market and help operators launch with confidence.”

Xace has appointed Lahcene Merzoug as the first member of its newly formed advisory board, as the firm targets further growth in the regulated iGaming sector.

Merzoug is a multi-entrepreneur and investor in iGaming, including holdings in operators and affiliate businesses. He is also a co-owner of iGaming NEXT and is known as Owner and Chairman of PressEnter Group, a Malta-based casino operator. Xace said he will support the company as it sharpens strategic priorities and expands into key gaming markets.

“Many of the businesses I’m a shareholder in are actually clients of Xace, and I was, and still am, a huge fan of the product long before being asked to join the advisory board,” commented Merzoug. “In a market full of providers trying to force generic financial services onto gaming businesses, Xace stood out as having a roadmap that fits the enterprises I’m involved with and a proposition genuinely built around the realities of this industry.

“The invitation to join the advisory board was an incredibly easy decision to make because I believe in where the brand is going and in the strength of what it offers operators today. Xace is solving real problems for the sector with the right blend of industry understanding, operational practicality and ambition. It’s exactly the kind of company that is shaking up the sector and proving there is a better way to serve it.”

Xace CEO, Megan Easey, said the appointment supports the company’s focus on financial solutions for gaming operators. “Lahcene accepting our offer to join us is a strong endorsement of our approach,” commented Easey. “Xace was created for the gaming industry from day one, not adapted to it, and that really matters when operators need a partner that understands their structure, pace and the realities of operating across multiple jurisdictions.

“As we continue to grow, we’re focusing on making life easier for gaming businesses through strong infrastructure, practical integration capabilities and high-quality support. Bringing in experienced industry leaders like Lahcene is a vital part of that journey and aligns perfectly with the authority, voice, and character we’re delivering to the space.”

Xace said it expects to announce further advisory board appointments “in due course.”
