Rootz partners with CashtoCode for cash payments and new customer traffic
Cash deposit service acting as unique affiliate channel for iGaming operator
CashtoCode, the instant cash payment service for online merchants, today announced a new partnership with Rootz, one of the world’s fastest growing iGaming operators. CashtoCode is now available to users as an instant payment option across all of Rootz brands including Wildz, Caxino, and Wheelz. CashtoCode enables users to make cash deposits into their Rootz accounts across 150,000 retail locations in Europe, including many of Rootz’s core markets such as Germany and Austria.
As well as being a simple and secure cash deposit option for customers, CashtoCode appealed to Rootz as a unique affiliate channel. With high street betting shops shut, many customers who prefer cash payments have searched for iGaming cash deposit options and discovered CashtoCode. CashtoCode has grown significantly during this time, pushing a lot of traffic and new first-time depositors towards its iGaming operators.
Security was also an important consideration for Rootz. CashtoCode has a highly controlled, closed loop cash deposit mechanism. The service is designed to eliminate fraud and money laundering concerns – since its cash deposit codes can only be redeemed by customers verified by the merchant, ID’d at the point of sale, and cannot be transferred between individuals.
“We are a unique facilitator in the iGaming space, helping operators reach a significant market sector of customers who prefer cash for privacy, security and self-control reasons,” said CashtoCode CEO, Jens Bader. “In years gone by, customers would choose their favourite iGaming brand first, but their payment method would be an afterthought at best. Now we’re seeing a growing segment of customers who pick their payment option first, knowing that they want to pay in cash or use a specific app, before selecting a partnered iGaming operator. For CashtoCode, this trend has been expedited by the pandemic and closure of high street betting shops. Cash deposits are the most natural route from land-based gambling to online, and we’re proving to operators that cash can be just as secure and transparent as digital payment products.”
“Rootz is known for its innovation and for offering an unrivalled user experience,” said Tony Kjaldstrom, COO at Rootz. “We listen to our customers and always try to give them what they want, whether that means new games, new services or new payment options. During the last 12 months, the demand for cash deposits has soared, and we are delighted to partner with CashtoCode to service these players. From day one, CashtoCode offered the simplicity, security and customisation we needed from a payment partner.”

GR8 Tech CSO Participates in Discussion on Conversion Rates in South Africa
Player acquisition in South Africa is advancing rapidly, making it increasingly difficult to manage CAC effectively. This is the reason Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech, will participate in the essential panel “Player Acquisition in South Africa: What Converts and What Doesn’t” on Thursday, March 5 (14:25–14:50). Marketing executives will analyze what is effective (and what isn’t) in paid media, influencers, retail interactions, and community-driven growth, emphasizing CAC discipline, channel exhaustion, and sustainable conversion tactics in a rapidly mobile environment.
Creating iGaming Leaders in Africa
GR8 Tech will be present at the event to engage with industry leaders, share actionable growth tactics, and showcase how Platform for Champions facilitates intelligent acquisition, enhanced engagement, and scalable operations in competitive settings.
“Across Africa, we’ve already helped operators like Mojabet and BongoBongo accelerate their business: moving faster in-market, sharpening performance, and achieving significant revenue growth,” said Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech. “Now, we’re only pushing harder in the region. So if you’re an operator who wants to perform like a champion, with a platform built for speed, control, and scale, let’s sit down at SiGMA Africa and talk about what winning looks like in your market.”
Meet GR8 Tech at SiGMA Africa 2026 in Cape Town, South Africa (March 3–5), at The Grand Arena at GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World. Book a meeting in advance, see the platform in action, and explore what it takes to scale like a champion in one of Africa’s most exciting iGaming hubs.

Amilton Noble
Amilton Noble é anunciado como Advisory Partner da Betshield
A Betshield anunciou a chegada de Amilton Noble como Advisory Partner. O executivo passa a integrar o núcleo estratégico da companhia em um momento de maior exigência operacional para operadores licenciados no mercado brasileiro de apostas.
A movimentação ocorre em paralelo a uma mudança relevante na forma como o setor vem sendo avaliado. Além do acompanhamento regulatório, decisões judiciais recentes passaram a considerar não apenas a existência de políticas formais de proteção ao usuário, mas a capacidade das plataformas de demonstrar monitoramento contínuo e atuação preventiva diante de comportamentos de risco.
A Evolução para o Conceito de “Trust & Protection”
Reconhecida por sua atuação pioneira em tecnologia de Jogo Responsável, a Betshield acompanha essa evolução ampliando sua presença dentro das operações de iGaming. A empresa passa a estruturar sua proposta como uma camada permanente de confiança e proteção operacional, incorporando:
-
Gestão de risco.
-
Controles internos.
-
Capacidade de comprovação de diligência.
Liderança e Experiência
Amilton Noble possui trajetória consolidada na indústria de jogos, loterias e iGaming. Como Advisory Partner, contribuirá para o posicionamento institucional da empresa e para a consolidação de práticas operacionais mais estruturadas no ambiente regulado. Para Noble, o setor entra em uma nova etapa de maturidade:
“A maturidade do mercado passa pela capacidade de demonstrar diligência. Não é apenas uma discussão sobre licença, mas sobre responsabilidade operacional. O operador precisará apresentar evidências de acompanhamento e atuação preventiva. A tecnologia passa a ser parte da proteção da própria empresa.”
Um Novo Posicionamento de Mercado
Thiago Iusim, fundador e CEO da Betshield, afirma que o momento representa uma evolução de posicionamento:
“O Jogo Responsável sempre foi o nosso ponto de partida. Mas percebemos cedo que era necessário ir além da funcionalidade isolada. O mercado passou a exigir capacidade de demonstrar diligência operacional. Estruturamos o conceito de Trust & Protection: uma camada permanente entre operador, regulador e usuário.”
A tecnologia da Betshield realiza monitoramento contínuo de comportamento, identifica padrões de risco e gera histórico documentado de atuação preventiva. A plataforma também incorporou um módulo de prevenção à lavagem de dinheiro (PLD), ampliando o escopo de proteção.
Recentemente, a Betshield também anunciou uma parceria estratégica com a CGS Events, colocando a proteção do jogador como tema central da agenda de eventos em 2026.
