B2B payments solutions to solve complex infrastructure challenges for global operators

Start2Pay, the specialist global payments provider, has announced the launch of its bespoke suite of payout products for betting and gaming, drawing on over five years of payments expertise across the e-commerce and financial sectors.

Set to officially announce rollout of their payout service in time for ICE London, the provider’s dedicated gaming team will be setting up camp at Stand N7-350-2 to introduce delegates to their seamless, easily integrated ‘one-stop-shop’ payouts service.

With an emphasis on enabling operators to be instantly ready to offer payment services across developing regional markets, including LatAm, CIS and the Far East, Start2Pay’s suite enables deposits and cash-outs via local card payments and bank transfers, cash terminals, electronic wallets and alternative payment methods. Ensuring one of the industry’s highest payment approval ratios, no matter the location.

Commenting on its betting and gaming launch, Ross Borg, Business Development Manager at Start2Pay said:

Endorsing Start2Pay’s services, Phin Smith, GG.Bet CEO said:

Evoplay has launched Season of Legends, a year-long network campaign built around four seasonal phases, starting with a spring edition carrying a €512,000 prize pool. The spring phase launched in March and runs across March, April and May.

The studio said the new format follows its previous Big Adventures network campaign and is designed to drive sustained engagement through a more structured seasonal approach. Each season runs for three months with new mechanics and prize pools.

A new mechanic, Infinity Prize Drops, will run daily throughout each month and is not tied to tournament windows. The spring edition also includes a Tournament and Wheel of Fortune, each operating in four monthly phases: 1st- 5th, 9th- 13th, 17th- 21st, and 25th- 29th.

Evoplay said the €512,000 spring prize pool will be distributed across the three-month period via a consolidated leaderboard spanning participating operators. Players earn points through qualifying spins on selected Evoplay titles including Hot Triple Sevens, Piggy Bank: 3 Pots Bonanza, and the Penalty Shoot-out series.

Diana Larina, Head of Marketing at Evoplay, said: “Season of Legends marks the next evolution of our network campaigns. With Big Adventures, we saw just how effective long-term engagement can be, and this new format takes that even further.

“By introducing seasonal structure and mechanics like Infinity Drops, we’re giving operators the tools to maintain consistent player activity, rather than relying on short-term spikes. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to build momentum throughout the year.”
