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.

Fonseca linked the recognition to the development of Brazil’s newly regulated betting market. “This is the result of a journey that began back in 2007.

The executive also pointed to the role of governance and compliance as the market scales. “Our role now is to ensure this growth continues to be guided by legal and tax certainty. At Superbet, player protection and user experience are not just rhetoric, but technology applied in real-time.”

According to the press release, the Game Changers list is an annual ranking that selects impactful leaders, professionals and regulators in the global online gaming industry, based on criteria including innovation and market relevance.

Industry leaders and the local community united in Malta for an evening of meaningful impact

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is proud to announce the success of its second Charity Gala, held at The Phoenicia Malta on May 29 in support of DAR Bjorn. Bringing together more than 400 guests from across the iGaming industry, the local business community, and Maltese society, the event raised over €200,000 for the neurological home and the people it supports.

Ian Borg, Malta’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism, was also in attendance, underscoring the importance of the Charity Gala’s mission to support DAR Bjorn and its contribution to the Maltese community.

DAR Bjorn is Malta’s neurological home, providing care and support for people living with ALS, MS, and other severe neurological conditions. Founded by former iGaming professional Bjorn Formosa following his ALS diagnosis at the age of 28, the organisation now cares for 60 residents while supporting more than 800 people throughout the country.

The funds raised by this year’s event will go directly towards equipping DAR Bjorn’s new Respite Centre with essential medical care and equipment. As part of its ongoing commitment to DAR Bjorn, BGaming is dedicating all money raised to the cause, with the studio covering the event’s operating costs.

One of the meaningful parts of this year’s initiative was a special merchandise collection co-created by Portuguese street artist Gonçalo MAR and residents of DAR Bjorn. Inspired by their stories and creative contributions, the collection gave them the opportunity to become active participants in the project. The merchandise was first unveiled at NEXT Summit Valletta and later made available online in exchange for donations. The initiative raised €5,000 for DAR Bjorn, extending the Gala’s impact beyond a single evening.

BGaming would like to extend its sincerest thanks to all partners whose generosity and support made this year’s Charity Gala possible, including NEXT.io, which was an official media partner for the event.

MyAffiliates were the event’s Golden Partner, while 1spin4win, Finteq Hub, Amusnet Gaming, and TaDa Gaming were Bronze Partners. Supporting Partners included Flutter International, Alea, SiGMA, Focus Gaming News, The Phoenicia Malta, Booming Games, Internet Vikings, Behind the Gloves, EGT Digital and SWAG42.

Marina Ostrovtsova, CEO at BGaming, said, “When we organized the first Charity Gala last year, we simply wanted to help DAR Bjorn and do something meaningful together as an industry. We never imagined it would grow into such a powerful annual initiative.

What inspires me most is not only the amount raised, but the people behind it. Seeing companies that normally compete come together for one shared purpose says a lot about our industry and the kind of community BGaming has built around it.

The impact of this evening goes far beyond fundraising. It helps improve the lives of people at DAR Bjorn, but it also reminds all of us that we have the ability to create meaningful change when we work together.”

Maria Formosa, the executive secretary of ALS Malta and the wife of ALS activist Bjorn Formosa, said, “Charity Gala by BGaming showed the extraordinary impact that can be achieved when the gaming industry unites behind a meaningful cause. The generosity shown throughout the evening will directly help us equip new rooms in our respite home and improve the lives of people living with neurological conditions. It was truly another memorable night in a magical venue filled up with beautiful souls who believed in our mission.

We are profoundly grateful to BGaming, to Madame Lubov for her hard and meticulous work she did once again for the success of the event, to the support received from Next.io and every supporter who helped turn compassion into action.”

Global Video Game Commerce Company To Support Industry Growth Through Panels, Workshops, And Community Engagement Across Atlantic Canada

Xsolla, a leading global video game commerce company, today announced its participation in two major gaming industry events taking place across Atlantic Canada from June 3-5, 2026, reinforcing the company’s commitment to supporting regional game development ecosystems and fostering industry collaboration.

Xsolla will participate in both Game Invest East and XP Game Connect Atlantic, joining developers, publishers, investors, and industry leaders for discussions centered on the future of game development, investment, and innovation in the local area.

At Game Invest East, held in partnership with Scaffold, Xsolla will contribute to conversations around funding, growth opportunities, and the evolving business landscape for game studios.

Featured on the panel titled “If You Can Make It Here,” Xsolla’s Manny Hachey, Senior Director of Developer Success, joins Kate Edwards, CEO and Principal Consultant of Geogrify, and Amir Satvat, Business Development Director at Tencent Games, founder of Always Supporting the Games Community (ASGC), and a 2026 GamesBeat Visionary Award honoree, to explore how new regions and new entrants can survive and thrive in disruptive times.

Hachey, a native of Atlantic Canada, was personally requested by Scaffold to represent Xsolla at the event — a homecoming that adds a personal dimension to the panel’s central thesis. Having built her career and made her mark in Germany’s games industry, she returns with a firsthand perspective on what it takes to leave, build something meaningful abroad, and come back with proof of concept.

Xsolla will continue its Atlantic Canada engagement at XP Game Connect Atlantic in Halifax on June 5. John Nguyen, Regional Vice President, Canada at Xsolla, and Ted DiNola, Developer Evangelist at Xsolla, will host a workshop titled ‘Full Picture to Fast Lane: Xsolla Ecosystem Overview & Live SDK 3 Integration’, providing practical insights and actionable strategies for developers navigating today’s rapidly evolving gaming market.

Nguyen will also host a panel titled, ‘What Does the Future of Game Development Look Like in Atlantic Canada?’ where he will be joined by industry experts, including Ryan Filsinger from Iron Fox; Shawn Woods, CEO at Alpha Dog and VP of Interactive Society of Nova Scotia; George Greer, Founder of Besszong; and Jade Yhap, President of Interactive NB. The panel will explore the region’s growing role in the global games industry and the opportunities ahead for studios, talent, and ecosystem partners.
