CashtoCode announces new leadership team and record growth figures
CashtoCode, the instant cash payment service for online merchants, today announced its new leadership team following a hugely successful 12 months. iGaming is a key market for CashtoCode and by offering operators access to a new market sector of customers who prefer cash payments, CashtoCode grew revenues by 500% in 2020. It also added more than 100 new merchants to its platform and can now be used by customers across 150,000 retail locations in Europe (including thousands of Paypoint locations in the UK, as well as gas stations and supermarkets). CashtoCode’s unique approach is its highly controlled, closed loop cash deposit mechanism. The service is designed to make compliance easy for merchants and iGaming operators, and eliminate fraud/money laundering concerns – since its cash deposit codes can only be redeemed by customers verified by the merchant and cannot be transferred between individuals.
The new team consists of three accomplished payments and iGaming professionals, with vast experience building international payment products and navigating complex regulatory landscapes. The objective of the new leadership team will be to continue CashtoCode’s growth trajectory, winning more new merchants, new users, and expanding geographically:
Jens Bader – Chief Executive Officer
Payment industry veteran and entrepreneur. MuchBetter/MIR co-founder, ex-CCO at Secure Trading and paysafecard
Christian Machmeier – Chief Technology Officer
A technology-expert with previous senior roles at Gameforge and Audi
Patrick Lebenbauer – Director of Global Marketing
A marketing leader in the iGaming & payments space with previous leading roles at Tipico & KaFe Rocks.
“CashtoCode offers a second life to cash, which remains hugely popular despite the growth of card, open banking and online payments,” said CashtoCode CEO, Jens Bader. “We enable merchants to target a market sector that they couldn’t reach without an instant cash deposit partner. For example, in iGaming, helping operators capitalise on the growing intersection of iGaming and cash. During the pandemic, many venues and activities that would typically take cash payments were not open, but their customer-base never left. These are people who still prefer to pay by cash wherever possible, for privacy, self-control and security reasons. Many have not switched to online banking, but have instead utilised services like ours to pay with cash for their online activities.”

Habanero rolls out Prosperity Horse slot with accumulating Wild multipliers
Habanero has released Prosperity Horse, a high-volatility 7×5 slot featuring an accumulating multiplier Wild mechanic and expanding feature set across the base game and free spins.
The game runs 28–58 paylines and is built around the Prosperity Horse Wild, which locks in place on winning combinations and increases an in-game multiplier as additional Wilds land. The multiplier does not reset between spins, with Multiplier Gates appearing at random on the reels to help boost the multiplier further.
Prosperity Horse also includes a Red Envelope mechanic that can award instant cash prizes or convert into high-value symbols. Three or more scatter symbols trigger the Free Spins feature, where expanding symbols appear more frequently and multipliers continue to increase.
For operators, the title integrates Habanero tools including Jackpot Race
and a Buy Feature.
Toni Karapetrov, Head of Corporate Communications at Habanero, said: “Prosperity Horse builds on a clear set of mechanics that are easy to understand but offer strong potential as the game progresses.
“The combination of expanding symbols and multipliers gives players a consistent sense of development throughout each session while still delivering the level of volatility that many players are looking for.”
