The rapidly expanding payments orchestration platform received the honor at the Card and Payments Awards in London on Thursday, February 5th, 2026.

Paysecure, a top global payment orchestration platform, is excited to reveal it received the Best Payments Industry Newcomer Award at the 2026 Card and Payment Awards.

The judges commented: “The panel noted that the submission demonstrated strong partnerships and showcased impressive growth trajectories. Its orchestration capability enabled broad access to alternative payment methods and was designed to address complex, high-risk, high-volume environments. Overall, Paysecure demonstrated reliable growth and enhanced technical capabilities, laying a firm foundation for ongoing impact and showing clear potential for broader industry contribution.”

Amit Hooja, CEO at Paysecure, shared: “This award is a strong validation of the platform we’ve built and the problem we set out to solve. I would like to thank all our staff, our partners and, of course, our customers for their support and dedication in helping to build the

leading orchestration platform. There’s still work to do. Payments are becoming increasingly complex for businesses operating across borders. Payment choice, regulation and ever-increasing competition for customers are all evolving challenges. Our continued focus is to give our customers the best infrastructure at the very best cost.”

Established in May 2022, Paysecure was developed to address significant payment issues in high-risk, high-volume, and regulated sectors. Currently, it serves as a key component in the payments ecosystem, integrating intricate and varied systems to provide merchants with a comprehensive perspective of their payment process, allowing them to expand into innovative and dynamic markets, while reducing fraud and improving the overall customer experience.

The accolade comes after Paysecure recently announced a five-fold rise in the number of merchants utilizing its technology. Its orchestration platform currently links merchants with over 500 PSPs/acquirers and more than 200 alternative payment methods globally. By utilizing smart routing, tokenisation, fraud protection through User Trust Score, real-time analytics, and a flexible Cashier, Paysecure enables merchants to increase acceptance, optimize conversion, cut costs, enhance resilience, and provide smooth, tailored customer experiences.

Viktoriia Degtiarova, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer at Paysecure, said: “We built the Paysecure platform from the ground up. Every feature, every capability exists because our team deeply understands the real challenges merchants and partners face and we refuse to settle for average solutions. Being recognised in London is a huge moment for us. Our global teams, and especially our incredible colleagues in India, are proud to celebrate this achievement. This award belongs as much to our partners and clients as it does to us; their trust pushes us to keep raising the bar.”

The Playa strategic advisor will publish on VIP operations, segmentation and retention, starting with an anonymous VIP Operations Survey 2026.

Gamblers Connect has confirmed Gali Hartuv, Strategic Advisor at The Playa, as the seventh voice to join its 2026 Contributors Program.

The independent B2B iGaming media platform said the programme will reveal one senior industry voice per month throughout 2026, with contributors publishing under the Gamblers Connect Contributor Editorial Code.

Gamblers Connect said Hartuv has more than 15 years’ experience in VIP management, including designing and optimising VIP programmes across more than 50 operator brands, and training “hundreds of professionals” now working in VIP roles across the industry.

Hartuv will publish across four areas: building VIP programmes that drive long-term value; AI-powered VIP identification and player segmentation; hyper-personalisation and retention strategy; and scaling VIP operations across different markets and cultures. His first contribution is a VIP Operations Survey 2026, an anonymous survey intended to benchmark how VIP teams work across iGaming operators, including portfolio sizing, tools, qualification thresholds, workflow standards and where time is spent during the week.

Partnerships and Operations Lead, Luka Dimitrijevic, said: “VIP management is where a great deal of an operator’s value is won or lost, and very few people can speak to it with Gali’s depth. He has spent his career turning high value player relationships into a discipline rather than guesswork, and he is refreshingly candid about what works and what does not. Through the Contributors Program he will share practical insight on VIP strategy, retention, and the smart use of AI, with content grounded in real results rather than recycled best practices.”

St8 has extended its partnership with TonyBet into Alberta, expanding their Canada footprint following an earlier launch in Ontario this year.

Under the expanded agreement, TonyBet will use St8’s game aggregation platform through a single API integration. St8 said this provides access to its wider catalogue of casino content for players in Alberta.

St8 said the Alberta rollout follows its newly acquired registration to operate in the province as an iGaming Services Supplier, allowing it to provide aggregation services to licensed operators in the market. The company said its platform connects partners to more than 200 game providers via a single API.

David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said:

“Entering Alberta’s regulated market is a strong step for St8 that represents our continued efforts to bring our offerings to as many territories as possible, delivering top-tier results for partnerships at the local, national and international stage. We share this commitment with TonyBet, a company that we are very fortunate to be working with so collaboratively and closely as we continue to grow our presence across North America.”

Kiryl Liudvikevich, Head of Product at TonyBet, said:

“We’re proud that our work with St8 has enabled us to continue expanding across Canada. Through St8’s aggregation platform, we can seamlessly access games from the industry’s leading providers via a single integration, helping us scale efficiently while maintaining a strong focus on the player experience. St8 has cemented itself as our go-to partner for expansion into regulated markets, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration as we grow into new jurisdictions.”

Casino game aggregation platform and full-service technology provider St8 has extended its ongoing partnership with TonyBet into Alberta, furthering both companies’ expansion into Canada.

As part of the extended agreement, Tonybet will benefit from St8’s next-generation platform via a single API integration, unlocking seamless access to a wide portfolio of games from the industry’s leading providers and enhancing its casino offering for players in Alberta.

The move is the latest in St8’s successful relationship with TonyBet, having previously launched in Ontario earlier this year in a bid to continually grow in regulated markets worldwide.

This expansion was made possible thanks to St8’s newly acquired registration to operate in Alberta as an iGaming Services Supplier, enabling St8 to provide its next-generation game aggregation services to licensed operators in the region, giving partners access to more than 200 premium game providers through a single API integration.

Featuring over 3,000 games from more than 60 providers, TonyBet, meanwhile, has gone from strength to strength in its 17-year history, establishing itself as one of the industry’s leading game studios by delivering engaging titles that combine player appeal with premium gameplay.

Holding licenses in 10 different jurisdictions including Spain, the Netherlands, the UK, Ireland and Estonia, among others, Tonybet’s partnership with St8 has seen them now launch in two separate territories in Canada, with both companies working collaboratively to explore the opportunities available in exciting new markets. This latest agreement reinforces St8’s strategy of expanding its premium content portfolio while helping operators simplify integration, accelerate market entry, and deliver engaging gaming experiences across multiple regulated jurisdictions.

Speaking on the expansion, David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said: “Entering Alberta’s regulated market is a strong step for St8 that represents our continued efforts to bring our offerings to as many territories as possible, delivering top-tier results for partnerships at the local, national and international stage.
