The payment management platform, IXOPAY is pleased to announce its partnership with CashtoCode, a leading payments provider that lets customers purchase online goods and services with physical cash. This partnership will give new and existing merchants of the IXOPAY platform access to a wider and new audience.

IXOPAY is designed to give its users quick and easy access to a wide variety of payment methods, its unique architecture is designed to give merchants the best option per country with intelligent routing, cascading, and state-of-the-art risk management. Users also benefit from centralized reconciliation and settlements.

CashtoCode is a payments solution that taps into, what is still the most popular way to make payments – cash. Customers are given a barcode (which is a proxy but holds no monetary value), representing the payment amount due to the merchant. This barcode is scanned at one of CashtoCode’s partner retailers and the customer hands over the funds. This simple solution allows people who have no access to credit cards or online banking a way to enjoy what the digital market has to offer.

As a payment management platform popular among iGaming sites, IXOPAY clients can benefit from CashtoCode’s effective payment solution that is chargeback resistant and unreliant on traditional financial institutions. It is also a practical approach for those who wish to monitor their spending habits or leave a more discreet digital trail.

Since it was established in 2015, CashtoCode has been revolutionizing online payments; thousands of users make daily use of its quick, discrete, and secure service.

With this partnership, IXOPAY is strengthening its position as the go-to payment orchestration platform for iGaming and digital goods.

“CashtoCode means freedom, privacy, inclusion and most of all convenience for customers. Our solution has been a tremendous success with numerous, popular online merchants and brands over the last few years. Through our partnership with IXOPAY, CashtoCode can further expand across various online industries.” Said Seth Iorio, CEO CashtoCode. “We love IXOPAY’s commitment to payment innovation and are proud to have them as a strategic partner. With IXOPAY, undoubtedly one of the smartest payment platforms in the market, merchants can simply add CashtoCode as an alternative payment option, a few clicks – and done.”

“IXOPAY is all about inclusivity, which is why CashtoCode is a perfect partner. We already have a strong portfolio of cash based online payment methods in South East Asia and the MENA region, so a collaboration with CashtoCode, which is even closer to home, was a natural next step for us.,” added Gox Mailer, Chief Strategy Officer of IXOLIT Group.

Many IXOPAY clients are already making use of CashtoCode, and with their upcoming market expansion more will be soon. If you would like to learn more about this payment method and if it is right for you, get in touch with our sales team.

The UAE Lottery has partnered with SmartLife Foundation to support outdoor workers during the UAE summer, backing the Cool Bus Shelter initiative in Abu Dhabi on July 20, 2026.

The programme aligns with the UAE’s Midday Break rules, which require outdoor work to stop between 12:30 PM and 3:00 PM during peak heat. As part of the initiative, air-conditioned buses were stationed near labour sites to provide workers a place to rest before returning outdoors.

Volunteers from The UAE Lottery and SmartLife Foundation provided cold towels, cold water and drinks, according to the organisations. Workers also received portable rechargeable neck fans intended to provide additional cooling after the break.

Suzan Kazzi, Associate Director – Corporate Social Responsibility at Momentum- The UAE Lottery, said: “Outdoor workers are the backbone of our cities’ urban development, and initiatives like the Cool Bus Shelter ensure they receive the care and recognition they deserve during the most challenging months of the year. This is our small way of saying thank you and reminding them that their wellbeing truly matters”.

Abhijeet Oak, Vice President at SmartLife Foundation, added: “At SmartLife Foundation, we believe that protecting the wellbeing of outdoor workforce is a shared responsibility. Through the Cool Bus Shelter initiative, we are proud to collaborate with organizations such as The UAE Lottery and other community partners to create moments of comfort, appreciation and human connection that leave a lasting impact”.

Supplier secures AGLC registration and extends its Canadian footprint beyond Ontario, where it has been live since 2022.

Greentube has gone live in Alberta on the day the province opened as a newly regulated iGaming market, marking the supplier’s first launch in the jurisdiction.

The NOVOMATIC Digital Gaming and Entertainment division said it completed regulatory and technical due diligence and secured registration with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) commission to operate in the province. Alberta becomes only the second Canadian province to regulate iGaming after Ontario, with the new framework replacing the monopoly previously held by Play Alberta.

The Alberta launch builds on Greentube’s existing Canadian footprint. The company has been live in Ontario since 2022 and described the Alberta debut as part of its wider North American expansion strategy.

Greentube said Alberta players will initially have access to a curated set of titles including Piggy Prizes Wand of Riches 2, Rumble Riches Haulin’ Gold and Firecracker Frenzy Money Toad, as well as Silver Lux Big Win Spinner, Starlight Jackpots Captain’s Catch and Charming Lady’s Boom.

David Bolas, Commercial Director at Greentube, said: “Going live in Alberta on the day the market opens is an important step for Greentube and reflects the strong momentum we are seeing in Canada.

“We welcome the opportunity a new jurisdiction offers and look forward to working with locally licensed operators to introduce our established offering to players in Alberta. With a balanced line-up of new releases and proven performers, we are well placed to offer a compelling experience in the province and support our long-term ambitions in the region.”
