Platform provider for U.S. sportsbooks will leverage Paysafe’s technology to offer expansive payments services to clients in regulated states

Paysafe, a leading integrated payments platform, today announced a new partnership with Amelco, a top provider of white label turnkey solutions for the global gaming industry. The partnership will see Amelco integrate Paysafe’s unified payments technology into its player account management platform to provide U.S. sportsbook clients with a full suite of traditional and alternative payment methods through a single streamlined interface.

Founded in 2006, Amelco has steadily grown its presence in the global gaming space, deploying its first sportsbook in 2010 and launching its multi-tenant white label sportsbook in 2017. The last two years have seen the provider expand into the U.S. regulated market, receiving its New Jersey software supplier license in 2018, which was followed by entry into Colorado, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Tennessee.

To support this growing presence and reinforce its status as a leading provider of turnkey solutions, Amelco will leverage Paysafe’s comprehensive payments technology to facilitate transactions for its clients within the U.S. online sports betting market. Operators that adopt the Amelco platform will be able to offer their customers a complete range of deposit and withdrawal options tailored to their specific needs. These include credit or debit card, processed through Paysafe’s best-in-breed payment network, its Skrill digital wallet, Paysafe’s eCash services such as paysafecard and additional third-party solutions.

By integrating its unified technology with the Amelco platform, Paysafe continues to bolster its reputation as the trusted partner in the U.S. iGaming landscape, while also highlighting the role of streamlining payments in industry leading player account management solutions. In that role, Paysafe will support Amelco with cutting-edge reporting and analytics tools, which allow for the monitoring of transactions and individual payment methods to optimize payment acceptance, as well as enhanced security to protect player and partner data, respectively.

Gregory Kirstein, Director of Business Development for iGaming at Paysafe, said: “Our partnership with Amelco represents an important opportunity for Paysafe to expand our footprint in the U.S. iGaming and sports betting space and reflects the importance of developing cutting-edge solutions for the market’s player account management systems. We look forward to collaborating with their team, providing guidance on best practices and working to deliver a reliable and secure customer payment experience.”

Brandon Walker, Head of USA at Amelco, commented: “We’re very happy to be working with Paysafe to provide our U.S. sportsbook clients and their respective customers with a broad selection of integrated payment options, along with the flexibility to add new methods as needed. As Amelco continues its U.S. expansion, it is important that we establish partnerships that help us meet the need for trustworthy turnkey solutions, which is something that Paysafe is uniquely equipped to provide from a payments perspective.”

The supplier can now distribute its online casino titles beyond Play Alberta to all licensed operators in the province.

High 5 Games has secured supplier approval from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC), allowing the studio to supply its online casino content to all licensed operators in Alberta’s newly opened commercial iGaming market.

The company has been live in the province since 2024 via Play Alberta, the government-operated platform, where it said titles including DaVinci DeluxeWays, Billionaire’s Bank and Green Machine have become player favourites. With the commercial market now open, High 5 Games said the same portfolio can be offered across operators entering Alberta.

Alberta’s commercial iGaming market is set to open on July 13, 2026, becoming Canada’s second province after Ontario to allow private-sector operators. The market is overseen by AGLC and the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC) and launched with nearly 50 registered operator brands, according to the company.

“Alberta players already know and love our games through Play Alberta, that is a head start no newcomer to this market can claim. With the open market live, every operator in the province can now offer their players the award winning High 5 titles they have been playing for years, from day one.” says Tony Singer, CEO at High 5 Games.

High 5 Games said the AGLC approval expands its regulated North American footprint, which it listed as including New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, West Virginia, Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia. The company said it has developed more than 300 games over three decades.

“Jackpot.com has always believed the future of gaming is a single platform where every type of player finds their game. The launch of skill games and tournaments is the next step in that vision: expanding how players engage, giving them more reasons to return, and more ways to win,” said Dharin Nanavati, Chief Growth Officer at Jackpot.com.

New software option replaces standard table announcements across cash games, tournaments and formats including All-In or Fold and Spin & Gold.

GGPoker on July 9, 2026 announced Action Voice, a new software feature that lets players replace standard table announcements with voice packs recorded by poker personalities, including Doyle Brunson.

The initial lineup named by the operator includes ten-time WSOP bracelet winner Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi and Kevin Martin, with additional voices “to be confirmed in the near future.”

Action Voice is available now across GGPoker’s product offering, including cash games, tournaments and formats such as All-In or Fold and Spin & Gold. Players can select voice packs in the desktop client via ‘My Page’ and then ‘My Action Voice’.

“Doyle Brunson may not be at the tables in the way that he used to, but his voice still can be,” said Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker. “Action Voice is our way of keeping the legends who built this game part of the everyday experience – right alongside the players carrying it forward today, like Daniel and Michael. It’s a unique and fun new element to our software, and we can’t wait to reveal the rest of the lineup soon.”

GGPoker said more Action Voice packs will be announced in the coming weeks as it rolls out the full roster.
