Paysafe partners with Amelco to plug US sportsbooks into unified payments platform
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.”

R. Franco Digital launches Crash Raiders grid-based crash game
R. Franco Digital has launched Crash Raiders, a new crash-style game that uses a grid format instead of traditional reels and paylines.
In Crash Raiders, players move across a grid to uncover prizes while avoiding traps that end the run. Each successful step increases the prize pot, and players can choose to cash out at any point or continue for a higher return.
The game includes four modes. Normal Mode lets players customise grid size, prizes and traps. Turbo Mode uses pre-selected routes for faster play, while Mystery and Mystery Turbo Modes apply full randomness to routes and outcomes.
Crash Raiders also adds an Extra Life mechanic that allows a player to revive once per game after hitting a trap, keeping accumulated winnings in play.
Javier Sacristán Franco, International Business Director at R. Franco Digital, said: “With Crash Raiders, we set out to create a highly engaging hybrid experience that blends strategy with high volatility gameplay. By giving players control over risk and path selection, we deliver a dynamic format that captures the excitement of every decision.”
