Hello Soda’s single API platform, Sodium, has experienced continued success since its launch earlier this year.

Global identity specialist, Hello Soda, launched the single API platform to simplify the delivery of its suite of Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-money Laundering (AML) and fraud prevention solutions.

As a result of the year’s economic downturn, onboarding costs and false negatives are more expensive than ever to businesses looking to grow their customer base. Implementing Sodium helps raise pass-rates and onboard customers more quickly, lowering acquisition costs.

Hello Soda also identified that many stakeholders were having difficulty integrating multiple identity verification solutions independently. Its developers responded to this challenge and the lack of cross-solution data analysis to help perform enhanced checks with the launch of Sodium.

Since its launch, Sodium has enabled businesses worldwide to improve their user journeys and see uplifts in pass rates, despite the difficult economic landscape; Hello Soda’s identity verification solutions are now being used across a wide range of sectors in 91% of the globe.

Due to the continued success and enhancements to Sodium, Hello Soda has been able to extend its reach and continues to work with a number of high-profile clients, including Renault/Nissan, Klarna, PaySafe, BoyleSports, Virgin Bet and deVere Group.

Dimitris Litsikakis, Global Head of FinTech at deVere Group, said: “The main driver behind integrating Sodium was the speed of client onboarding which is key for digital banking solutions like Vault.

At deVere we have experienced a growth in our conversion rates and increase in customer satisfaction rates as the account opening is now done automatically in less than two minutes rather than one of our agents having to check all documents manually before reaching a decision. Moreover, we seamlessly increased our security with automated PEP and DarkWeb checks that ensure we keep fraudsters away.“

Sodium is enabling global organisations to efficiently and accurately onboard their customers in a matter of seconds with less false positives and negatives. The game-changing platform enables organisations to not only add multiple ID&V products seamlessly but it cross-references data to perform additional checks leading to a truly enhanced customer due diligence (EDD). From document ID data cross-referenced with the dark web to an individual’s social footprint compared to CRA data, Sodium certainly delivers a multi-pronged approach to identity verification.

Barcelona, January 20–21, 2026 — At iGB Affiliate Barcelona, PlayamoPartners invites industry leaders to experience an affiliate program built on discipline, precision, and stability — a philosophy closer to Formula 1 than to show business. Because speed without a system is a risk, and long‑distance victories are won by control and consistency.

Meet the Program That Runs on Timing, Control, and Accountability

This year at Fira Barcelona Gran Via, PlayamoPartners will be at Booth 81-M10 with a program engineered for performance under pressure. The PlayamoPartners × TAG Heuer × Formula 1 alignment is not a “collaboration” — it’s a statement of approach: master the clock, execute with accuracy, own the result.

What to Expect at Booth 81-M10

Beyond offers and conversations, the stand is a live demonstration of service as a ritual — where premium is the standard of execution, not a marketing trick.

Butler-Led Service: Guests are welcomed by a real butler and guided through a streamlined experience designed for clarity and confidence at every touchpoint.
Code of Honor: An invitation-only club where recognition is earned by level. Become part of the Code by inscribing your partnership values in the Book of Honor at the stand — your commitment becomes your entry to win MacBook Air, iPhone 17 Air, and AirPods Max headphones. VIP partners reinforce their status with TAG Heuer timepieces.
House of PlayamoPartners: The space extends this logic with a photo mirror that captures the moment of entry — not for noise, but as a mark of belonging to a system where premium is the baseline, not a marketing trick.
Gifts as House Rules: In our House, gifts are customary. Snap your photo at the PlayamoPartners photo mirror and follow the posted instructions to enter a 3,000 USDT raffle — their way of welcoming you.

Engineered for Partners Who Choose Reliability Over Hype

At the booth, you’ll find:

Data-driven planning with transparent pacing and measurable milestones
Custom deal structures built for sustained, compounding ROI
Direct manager access for integrations, optimizations, and partner onboarding
A framework that values long-run consistency over short-term spikes

One-to-One Conversations That Move the Needle

Sit down with the team to align on:

Conversion architecture and funnel precision
GEO prioritization (Tier 1 mostly) and partner-specific vertical focus
Real-time reporting cadence, compliance, and long-term workload planning
Growth pathways inside the Code of Honor framework

How to Participate in Rewards and Raffles

Book of Honor: Inscribe your partnership values to enter for MacBook Air, iPhone 17 Air, and AirPods Max headphones.
Photo Mirror Raffle: Take a mirror selfie at House of PlayamoPartners and follow the on-stand posting/sharing steps to enter the 3,000 USDT draw.
Notes: Winners will be selected on the 21st of January at 13:00 at Booth 81-M10; participation is subject to on-site rules and eligibility requirements.

Choose the System. Choose the Standard.

If your benchmark is discipline over noise, your place is on our grid.

BC.GAME launches Zero Edge: BC Originals titles return 100% of HE in tradable BC tokens

BC.GAME has launched Zero Edge, an initiative that returns 100% of the House Edge (HE) on BC Originals titles via Tacoback, paid out in BC tokens.

No complicated bonuses: turn HE into a visible return

BC.GAME says Zero Edge is designed to feel straightforward in real play. Rather than pushing players through layered tasks and bonus mechanics, the programme calculates Tacoback from a game’s actual HE and settles it in-token, so the return is easier to understand and track.

Designed for most players

According to the activity details, Zero Edge is available to BC main-site users from VIP 5, and runs on a UTC day cycle.

The initiative uses a daily-cap model. Users with 7-day turnover starting from 0 can participate, and each player has a daily eligible wagering cap. The next-day cap is updated based on the player’s current VIP level and their wagering over the previous seven days. The applicable cap and programme details (including the eligible BC Originals scope) can be viewed on the official activity page.

BC.GAME also states it has allocated a total of 1 billion tokens for distribution under the programme.

To illustrate how the calculation works, BC.GAME provides an example method: Tacoback is approximately Wager x HE / BC token spot price (final settlement is based on the system). For instance, assuming a wager is 2,000 USDT, the HE at that moment is 2%, and the BC token price is 0.007, the illustrative result would be 2,000 x 2% / 0.007 is approximately 5,714.29 BC. This is only to demonstrate the calculation method; HE and token price vary by game and market conditions and should be taken from real-time data.

BC.GAME notes that wagering counted inside a player’s Zero Edge daily cap does not stack with other promotions/benefits or affiliate commission calculations. Once the daily cap is reached, further wagering reverts to the platform’s standard system for the rest of the UTC day.

BC token trading: in-platform and on-chain venues

BC.GAME says BC tokens can be traded within the platform. As an on-chain asset on Solana, BC can also be viewed and traded via public pages such as OKX Web3 and GMGN.

What’s next

Alongside Zero Edge, BC.GAME has also teased follow-on launches including “Bet Anything” synthetic markets, lower-barrier prediction-style products, and a “Trustless Trust” decentralized architecture.
