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.”

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.

The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.

Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:

“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.

“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.

“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”

Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.

“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.

ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.
