PubCos want to test Game Payment app following successful pilot and dramatic increase in demand for cashless

A total of 30 pub sites drawn from a cross-section of PubCos are eagerly waiting to trial the Game Payment cashless app following its successful technical pilot. Although the pilot was truncated by the prime minister’s March 20 Covid-19 instruction to close all pubs with immediate effect, it nonetheless provided the Game Payment system with a robust test of its technology which it passed with flying colours.
“Obviously we were disappointed at having to curtail the pilot for reasons beyond our control, but we were able to monitor the app in real time and in the field operating successfully on both digital and analogue machines” stated bacta Vice-President, Greg Wood, part of the senior team responsible for bringing Game Payment to market. “I am delighted to confirm that the app showed itself to be extremely robust and the pilot served as a vindication of the technology that lies behind it.”
He added: “We demonstrated the app to a number of leading UK and European operators first at EAG and then at ICE London in February. Since then and partly as a result of the response to Covid-19, the demand for safe and reliable cashless payment solutions has soared and a significant number of our UK contacts have come back to us asking to test across a sample of their pub estates.
“We have also received lots of interest from AGC operators which has resulted in us bringing forward our development plans for this sector by six months. As the restrictions on lockdown begin to lift, the team is looking forward to implementing the business development plan secure in the knowledge that the Game Payment app has the strongest of technical foundations.”
The Game Payment app underwent its successful pilot following completion of a payment acquiring agreement with one of the top three UK acquirers. The agreement, which was struck in February, represents the first such deal with a tier 1 UK bank for cashless gaming in pubs and other venues and is a testament of the acquirer’s confidence in Game Payment’s business plan, product credentials and financial structure, as well as the team’s ability to manage a gambling e-wallet.

GR8 Tech Launched the Champion’s Playbook for High-Performance iGaming Brands

When ESPN Bet crashed during 26% of March Madness game time, it proved what heavyweight operators already know: that level of downtime is unthinkable—and expensive. When you’re processing millions of bets during a single event, every second of uptime and every millisecond of speed directly impact your bottom line.
That’s why GR8 Tech created the Champion’s Playbook for High Performance—distilling lessons from processing billions of bets per year into a tactical guide for operators who refuse to accept ‘good enough.’
Inside the guide, operators will discover:
- Three pillars of high performance: the non-negotiable standards for uptime, speed, and scalability that separate champions from contenders—plus the specific benchmarks that matter.
- From heavyweight performance to champion experiences: how to transform solid infrastructure into engaging, personalized player experiences while protecting margins from churn and fraud.
- A hard-hitting due diligence checklist: ready-made questions to evaluate your current provider or efficiently eliminate unsuitable candidates from your shortlist.
“After hundreds of conversations with operators, I know exactly what’s broken in the industry. The checklist cuts through the sales pitch to the questions that actually matter. Use it on any provider, including GR8 Tech. The answers will separate the real heavyweights from the pretenders,” says Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech.
Why this matters now
The iGaming landscape demands excellence. Players expect 24/7 availability, lightning-fast responses, and experiences that feel built just for them. Meanwhile, 70% of businesses struggle with poor data quality, and mobile users abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds to load. In this environment, technical mediocrity isn’t just disappointing—it’s expensive.
