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.”

The Isle of Man: Where eGaming Software Businesses Are Thriving
Introduction
The global eGaming industry is highly competitive, technologically driven and heavily regulated. For software providers operating in this space, choosing the right jurisdiction is critical to long-term success. The Isle of Man is trusted by industry-leading suppliers such as Microgaming, Games Global, 3Oaks, Arrise (Pragmatic Play), and Altenar, to name a few, and has established itself as one of the world’s leading hubs for eGaming through a unique combination of tax efficiency, regulatory credibility, stability and technological infrastructure. This article explores the key advantages of being located on the Isle of Man.
Competitive Tax Environment
One of the most compelling reasons to base an eGaming software company in the Isle of Man is its favourable tax regime. Suppliers based on the Island receive the following advantages to maximise profitability and support international expansion:
- 0% Corporation Tax
- 0% Capital Gains Tax
- 0% Inheritance Tax
Reputation and Credibility
The Isle of Man is widely recognised as a tier one licensing jurisdiction. The Gambling Supervision Commission’s (GSC) enforcement of strict compliance standards means that attaining a licence is a testament to the integrity and good standing of the supplier. Licensed suppliers gain reputational benefits, which in turn create greater opportunities to engage with partners, including operators, aggregators, banks, and payment providers.
For more information regarding the Isle of Man’s software supplier licence, Global Gaming Solutions has released other articles explaining in detail what distinguishes the Island from other licensing options.
However, for Isle of Man software suppliers, a licence is not a mandatory requirement. This places the Isle of Man in an ideal position for startup suppliers, offering unique tax, infrastructure and Government driven financial incentives, with an attractive opportunity to expand into the regulated sector once their concept and strategy are proven.
Playzia, a client of Global Gaming Solutions, has leveraged this opportunity to establish operations in the Isle of Man and has built the brand into a recognised international name, partnering with leading operators and securing exclusive titles such as Love Island.
Access to Global Markets
eGaming software companies based in the Isle of Man enjoy significant operational flexibility. As an outward-facing jurisdiction, the Island maintains a strong international reputation (particularly across Europe and Asia), and obtaining a local licence does not restrict suppliers’ target markets outside sanctioned or blacklisted jurisdictions or those with local regulatory regimes. As such, the Isle of Man provides suppliers with the reach needed to establish their brands in a global market.
In an industry where market access can determine success, an Isle of Man company, and more so a licence holder, has greater access to key partners through its reputation and credibility than “competitor” jurisdictions such as Curacao, Belize, Anjouan and Tobique. As a result, companies can scale internationally with fewer operational barriers, making the Island an ideal base for growth-oriented businesses.
As global markets mature and establish local regulatory regimes, the Isle of Man remains relevant. The ability to hold regulated licenses such as UK, Ontario, Irish, and Finnish licenses through an Isle of Man company allows suppliers to maintain their advantageous position and global focus, whilst also utilising their structure to enter competitive regulated markets. As evidence of this, Global Gaming Solutions has supported leading aggregator St8, securing successful Ontario and UK licences to scale rapidly whilst maintaining operations on the Island.
Advanced Technological Infrastructure
The Isle of Man offers world-class digital infrastructure tailored to the eGaming sector’s needs. High-speed internet connectivity, secure data centres, and reliable telecommunications systems provide a strong foundation for suppliers operating internationally.
The jurisdiction also supports emerging technologies such as cryptocurrency payments, which are increasingly utilised operationally by suppliers. CoinCorner, a local Bitcoin service provider, boasts over 350,000 users and 10 years of service, providing on-the-ground support to local and international businesses.
Government Support and Business-Friendly Environment
The Isle of Man government actively supports the eGaming sector, the GSC has a legacy as an approachable and friendly regulator, whilst Digital Isle of Man frequently attends and hosts eGaming events and meets with prospective businesses to represent the Island as a global tech centre. As such, businesses are supported and encouraged at all levels.
Local Expertise
The Island’s local high-tech sectors, including eGaming, data hosting, blockchain, and AI initiatives, have created a highly skilled workforce that enables and incentivises well-established names such as Microgaming, Games Global, and Arrise (Pragmatic Play) to build local, boots-on-the-ground operations in the Isle of Man.
For start-up operations, the Isle of Man has a wide range of trusted service partners with decades of industry experience to support and advise future leaders. However, as operations grow, the Island makes a strong case for local offices and a headquarters. The Islands’ talent pool of industry-leading compliance and operations professionals enables suppliers to expand existing operations and build substance whilst maintaining the tax, infrastructure, and trusted relationships they have established.
Conclusion
For eGaming software companies, the Isle of Man presents a highly attractive and unique proposition. Companies can not only reduce costs but also enhance their reputation, expand into international markets, and operate within a stable and forward-thinking ecosystem.
By choosing the Isle of Man, suppliers gain immediate tax incentives and credibility, but also future-proof their investment. Clear and realistic opportunities to obtain local and international licences, access a wide network of partners, and establish local offices mean that the Isle of Man is not just a tax-efficient structure but also a commitment to building a reputable brand as a future industry leader.
