SafeCharge, a Nuvei company, has partnered with the Polish bookmaker STS Gaming Group. As per the deal, SafeCharge will provide the platform and technology to enable STS to launch operations in the UK.

STS betting services to over 1 million customers in Europe and is the first Polish bookmaking business to secure a gaming licence in the UK regulated market. Obtaining the license is part of STS’s broader international growth strategy.

STS implemented SafeCharge’s Cashier, a feature-rich hosted solution that delivers rapid onboarding and is designed to optimise payment acceptance and withdrawals. With Cashier’s suite of built-in conversion-boosting features, risk management and traffic routing, STS benefits from both compliance with local gaming regulations and a proprietary platform that has proven to increase approval rates, while decreasing player abandonment.

“With sports betting at the core of our business and our continuing plans for geographic expansion, we sought a partner with a demonstrable industry track record to successfully expedite our strategy. We look forward to further developing our partnership with SafeCharge as part of our international growth plans,” Mateusz Juroszek, chief executive officer at STS, said.

“Companies operating in complex markets are seeking technology partners who can provide the hands-on experience and business intelligence needed to expand effectively and rapidly. Our team worked closely with STS to ensure they thrive not only in the U.K., but also leverage our platform to drive agile and scalable global growth,” Philip Fayer, chairman and CEO of Nuvei, said.

“We are delighted with our strong partnership with STS, an exceptionally successful company expanding its core brand into new regulated markets. We are well-positioned to address all of STS’s payment requirements to succeed in the U.K. market, in addition to facilitating their future expansion plans,” Yuval Ziv, managing director of digital payments at SafeCharge, said.

The Ring Casino at the Nürburgring Congress Hotel has successfully deployed Novomatic’s NovoVision Casino Management System. As a branch of Spielbank Bad Neuenahr, the property integrated this visionary CMS to centralize operations and modernize its daily workflow. Beyond operational efficiency, the move ensures full compliance with upcoming German regulatory shifts, leveraging NovoVision’s advanced modules to uphold the highest standards in player protection and responsible gaming.

The venue offers around 450 square metres of gaming fun for fans of high-speed entertainment, with 62 video slots offering a range of attractive jackpots. All the gaming terminals are now managed centrally via NOVOVISION Floor Control, and jackpot management, cash handling via TITO and accounting are also operated in real time via the diverse system functionalities of NOVOVISION. In particular, access control via NOVOVISION access, player management and database comparison of each visitor with the nationwide OASIS exclusion database were key decision-making criteria for the operator. Both during initial registration and on each subsequent visit to the casino, access at the gates is only granted after thorough verification of the guest’s identity and age, as well as re-/verification against the exclusion database.

Following the successful introduction of NOVOVISION at the Ring Casino am Nürburgring, rollout at the other two locations in Bad Dürkheim and in Bad Neuenahr will follow in the first quarter of 2026.

Marcin Kozlowski, Head of Product Development & Market Coordination NBS, said: “Being able to supply Spielbank Bad Neuenahr, a long-standing NOVOMATIC customer, with our CMS as the core of its casino operations is further confirmation of our excellent business relationship. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the management for the trust they have placed in us and the teams for their excellent cooperation both in the run-up to and during the implementation.”

Thomas Salinger, Technical Director of Gaming at Spielbank Bad Neuenahr GmbH & Co. KG, said: “The successful introduction of NOVOVISION at the Spielbank in Nürburg represents a first major and important milestone in the system implementation in our gaming venues. This powerful casino management solution, with its diverse system functionalities, enables us to meet the ever-growing regulatory requirements efficiently and in a future-proof manner. We look forward to continuing the joint implementation in our casinos with our long-standing business partner NOVOMATIC.”
