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.”

ENJOY Gaming has expanded its live casino portfolio with the launch of Greek Roulette, an automated roulette product that adds multiplier mechanics to standard table gameplay.

The title is set in an ancient Greek-themed studio and uses an automated wheel. Alongside traditional inside and outside bets, each round includes a Lucky Numbers feature that randomly selects between one and twelve numbers and assigns multipliers of up to x777.

If a straight-up bet lands on a Lucky Number, the company said the standard payout is replaced by the assigned multiplier.

Elena Shestak, Art Director at ENJOY Gaming, said: “Greek Roulette demonstrates how traditional table products can be refreshed through careful design, forming part of a wider effort to evolve our live and automated portfolio consistently.

“By introducing Lucky Numbers and dynamic multipliers within a traditional framework, we’re focused on modernising established formats in ways that feel natural, recognisable, and distinctly ENJOY.”

ELA Games’ King and Flame has been named a finalist for Best New Game Release at the 2026 SiGMA Europe Awards. The awards are scheduled to take place at the Casino Maltese in Valletta, Malta, on May 27.

The company said the nomination reflects its approach of combining narrative design with slot math models. King and Flame is positioned as a medieval fantasy Hold and Win title built around a storyline that “flips classic fantasy tropes upside down,” with a prince unleashing a Dragon Queen.

According to ELA Games, the game includes coin symbols that pay their face value, Mystery Chests that can award instant prizes or trigger the Grand Jackpot, and a “Tamed by the Crown” feature where the Dragon Queen appears as an expanding Full Reel Wild. The studio also highlighted free spins with column-expanding coins and a Super Bonus Wheel that doubles rewards.

Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director of ELA Games, said: “We’re very happy to see King and Flame get a nomination at the very well-regarded SiGMA Europe awards. I know the work everyone at the ELA team put into creating an intricate back story and graphic world for this slot. It is one of the most narrative-based titles we have released to date, and the care the team put into the design has really brought that story to life. It is wonderful to see that dedication noticed on such a prestigious stage.”

SiGMA has opened public voting for the category via its awards site.
