Through this collaboration, Kinguin will give millions of its customers in Europe, Canada, Australia, South America and Africa the option to purchase products on Kinguin.net using Neosurf’s prepaid cash vouchers.
Both brands are titans in the games industry. Neosurf is a proven, popular payment solution with the community giving all gaming fans, even those without a debit or credit card, the chance to purchase their favourite software. It has fostered numerous partnerships within esports by partnering with various esports organisations and has recently hosted its own tournament – The Neosurf Cup. The organisation is also partnered with industry experts like ESE Entertainment to create and expand its efforts in esports and games on a global scale.
Meanwhile Kinguin is a global digital marketplace for gamers that sells video games, software and in-game items to users all around the world. It opened its own Esports Performance Center – which was the first professional facility for teams in central Europe – in 2017 and also sponsors leading Polish esports teams Anonymo and devils.one. As well as continuing to dedicate resources to nurturing talent, the brands share similar core values – the ambition to promote inclusivity in gaming and giving more people access to the industry.
Founded in 2004, Neosurf gives shoppers a safer way to purchase online. It enables users to purchase goods without using a credit card or disclosing personal information. It provides significant support to developing countries by offering a variety of services to cash users that allows them to facilitate online payments, prepaid card reloads, money transfers and bill payments.
Neosurf cash vouchers are available at thousands of local convenience stores around the world and customers can pay for the vouchers using cash or card payments. After purchasing a cash voucher, customers will then receive a 10-character voucher code, which can be used to pay online at Kinguin.net with the added security and privacy of a prepaid card.
Chief Commercial Officer at Neosurf, Andrea McGeachin, commented, “The partnership we have established with Kinguin is an important step for Neosurf and one that supports our philosophy of putting the gaming community at the heart of everything we do. Whether accessing a whole suite of esports through the Kinguin Lounge, or individual offerings from the extensive Kinguin marketplace, Neosurf gamers can now benefit from amazing cash deals. We look forward to the Neosurf and Kinguin relationship going from strength to strength.”
Head of Payments at Kinguin, Faheem Bakshi, said: “Neosurf is a payment solution provider that is embedded in the gaming community, so we’re delighted to give millions of our loyal customers the opportunity to use Neosurf cash vouchers to purchase all their gaming products securely, while also protecting their identity.”
Kinguin.net currently has more than 250 payment methods available globally, including popular payment methods such as global wallets, credit and debit card payments as well as country specific local payment options. Kinguin is among the first game trading platforms to offer BitCoin, Mobile payments and cash payments. Merchants on Kinguin are able to withdraw their earnings using BitCoin.

XSOLLA STRENGTHENS COMMITMENT TO ATLANTIC CANADA’S GROWING GAME INDUSTRY WITH EXPANDED EVENT PRESENCE
Global Video Game Commerce Company To Support Industry Growth Through Panels, Workshops, And Community Engagement Across Atlantic Canada
Xsolla, a leading global video game commerce company, today announced its participation in two major gaming industry events taking place across Atlantic Canada from June 3-5, 2026, reinforcing the company’s commitment to supporting regional game development ecosystems and fostering industry collaboration.
Xsolla will participate in both Game Invest East and XP Game Connect Atlantic, joining developers, publishers, investors, and industry leaders for discussions centered on the future of game development, investment, and innovation in the local area.
At Game Invest East, held in partnership with Scaffold, Xsolla will contribute to conversations around funding, growth opportunities, and the evolving business landscape for game studios.
Featured on the panel titled “If You Can Make It Here,” Xsolla’s Manny Hachey, Senior Director of Developer Success, joins Kate Edwards, CEO and Principal Consultant of Geogrify, and Amir Satvat, Business Development Director at Tencent Games, founder of Always Supporting the Games Community (ASGC), and a 2026 GamesBeat Visionary Award honoree, to explore how new regions and new entrants can survive and thrive in disruptive times.
Hachey, a native of Atlantic Canada, was personally requested by Scaffold to represent Xsolla at the event — a homecoming that adds a personal dimension to the panel’s central thesis. Having built her career and made her mark in Germany’s games industry, she returns with a firsthand perspective on what it takes to leave, build something meaningful abroad, and come back with proof of concept.
Xsolla will continue its Atlantic Canada engagement at XP Game Connect Atlantic in Halifax on June 5. John Nguyen, Regional Vice President, Canada at Xsolla, and Ted DiNola, Developer Evangelist at Xsolla, will host a workshop titled ‘Full Picture to Fast Lane: Xsolla Ecosystem Overview & Live SDK 3 Integration’, providing practical insights and actionable strategies for developers navigating today’s rapidly evolving gaming market.
Nguyen will also host a panel titled, ‘What Does the Future of Game Development Look Like in Atlantic Canada?’ where he will be joined by industry experts, including Ryan Filsinger from Iron Fox; Shawn Woods, CEO at Alpha Dog and VP of Interactive Society of Nova Scotia; George Greer, Founder of Besszong; and Jade Yhap, President of Interactive NB. The panel will explore the region’s growing role in the global games industry and the opportunities ahead for studios, talent, and ecosystem partners.
“Atlantic Canada continues to emerge as an exciting hub for game development talent and innovation,” said John Nguyen, Regional Vice President, Canada, at Xsolla. “Xsolla is proud to support these events and contribute to conversations that help empower developers, build ecosystems, strengthen industry connections, and accelerate growth across the region.”
“Events like Game Invest East and XP Game Connect Atlantic are critical for building stronger connections across the games industry,” said Berkley Egenes, Chief Marketing & Growth Officer at Xsolla. “Atlantic Canada has a growing community of talented developers, creators, and industry leaders, and we’re excited to be part of conversations that help to shape the future of gaming in the region while supporting studios at every stage of growth.”
Through its participation in these events, Xsolla aims to deepen relationships within the Atlantic Canadian game development community while supporting knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and long-term ecosystem growth.
