Paydrom, a leading B2B payment gateway for the iGaming sector, has entered into a partnership with Aircash, a well-established digital wallet and prepaid voucher provider in Europe. This partnership expands Paydrom’s regional payment strategy, offering operators seamless, localised solutions to improve transaction efficiency and payer engagement.

With Aircash’s presence in almost 20 European countries, Paydrom strengthens its ability to provide alternative payment solutions beyond traditional card payments. While card transactions dominate European markets, e-wallets and prepaid/cash vouchers remain a preferred choice for a significant number of payers. Through this collaboration, now iGaming operators can offer diverse payment options:

• Aircash Wallet – A secure and efficient e-wallet solution enabling instant deposits and withdrawals.

• Abon Vouchers – Prepaid vouchers available at 200,000+ locations across Europe, allowing players to top up their gaming accounts conveniently.

• Aircash Marketplace – A centralised payment hub where users can conveniently select and pay for various services, including gaming directly through the Aircash app.

“At Paydrom, we prioritize regional strategies to help iGaming operators succeed in high-potential markets. Aircash’s extensive presence and trusted payment solutions allow us to provide merchants with more diverse and payer-friendly options. By integrating e-wallets and prepaid vouchers, we ensure operators can cater to a broader audience while boosting conversion rates and user satisfaction,” said Arin Andriazian, Chief of Paydrom Product.

With Aircash, players gain flexibility and convenience—whether using digital wallets for fast transactions or purchasing prepaid vouchers for seamless deposits. Integration enhances user trust, simplifies payments and ultimately helps merchants optimise their payment ecosystems.

“Arcash core strategy is focusing on regulated markets where we make sure that our services meet all regulatory requirements while providing the best and the most convenient payment services to our users. Aircash has become the preferred cash app of choice for the igaming industry. We are delighted to be partnering with Paydrom and we are convinced that our common partners will benefit from our offerings,” said Mark Watts, Director of iGaming at Aircash.

This partnership aligns with Paydrom’s vision to stay ahead in the competitive iGaming payment landscape by offering secure, localised and efficient payment methods. By continuously expanding its portfolio, Paydrom ensures its merchants can keep up with evolving payer preferences while maintaining compliance with regional regulations.

PartyPoker has appointed former WBC Cruiserweight World Champion Tony Bellew as a brand ambassador for the remainder of 2026, with appearances tied to the operator’s live PartyPoker Tour and online poker offering.

The company said Bellew will be “a regular face” at its remaining UK tour stops this season following an earlier appearance at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. Bellew will also take part in online activity linked to the PartyPoker schedule.

“I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me,” Bellew said.

PartyPoker said Bellew is scheduled to attend each remaining UK stop on the 2026 PartyPoker Tour: London in July, Glasgow in August, Cork in November, and London in December. The operator also referenced a series of exclusive online events running alongside the live calendar.

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.

The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.

In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.

“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”

The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.

For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.

The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
