Former Santander and Amazon executive brings additional digital payments experience to the Paysafe leadership team
Paysafe, a leading specialized payments platform, today announced it has appointed international payments executive, Chirag Patel, as CEO of its global Digital Wallets business. Patel will report directly into Group CEO, Philip McHugh, when he joins the company in early September.
Paysafe’s digital wallet solutions, which include Skrill and NETELLER, enable consumers to store, withdraw and make purchases in over 40 currencies from a virtual account as well as buy and sell interests in cryptocurrency and make international money transfers. They are used by 3.5 million consumers around the world and generated $20.4 billion total payment volume in 2020.
Patel brings over 20 years’ experience of working in payments for high profile, global organisations. He joins Paysafe from Santander Group where he was Global Head of Payments. While there, he launched a global payments platform and significantly increased usage of the bank’s payments products and services. Before Santander, Patel was Amazon’s Head of Payments, Europe and International Expansion, where he was responsible for the company’s product roadmap for emerging payments technologies and international payment expansion. Before Amazon, he held senior executive roles in payments and financial services for other well-known financial institutions including Softcard (acquired by Google), American Express Services Europe Limited and Merchant Services Group Int.
Philip McHugh, Paysafe’s CEO, commented: “Chirag has an awesome track record as a high-performing payments’ executive and has successfully launched and grown multiple consumer-facing and B2B payments products and services around the world. I’m thrilled to have someone of his caliber and energy-level to take our Digital Wallets business to the next level of growth.”
Chirag Patel commented: “I am really looking forward to joining the Paysafe team next month and to be given the opportunity to lead its exciting Digital Wallets business. I believe there is enormous potential to extend the offering to more and more customers given Skrill and NETELLER’s worldwide presence, combined with Paysafe’s great technology and talented team.”
Patel replaces former Digital Wallets CEO, Lorenzo Pellegrino, who is stepping into a strategic advisory role for Skrill Limited.
McHugh added: “I’d like to add my sincere thanks to Lorenzo for the immense passion and drive he has shown over the past 15 years as he launched our digital wallet solutions around the world. We now offer two of the most popular and sophisticated digital wallet brands on the planet and have strong foundations to continue building on as we grow the business.”

Stakelogic Unveils Cozy Candy ClusterBreaker – A Sweet, Campfire Adventure

Innovative Gameplay and Charming Theme Unite in Stakelogic’s Latest Premium Release
Stakelogic, the innovative game developer known for pushing the boundaries of slot entertainment, proudly announces the launch of its newest title, Cozy Candy ClusterBreaker – a deliciously cozy slot adventure that invites players to toast their way to candy-coated riches around a glowing campfire.
This medium-to-high volatility cluster pays slot offers an enchanting woodland experience with groundbreaking gameplay mechanics and massive win potential of up to 10,000x your stake. Available to play from April 17th, 2025, Cozy Candy ClusterBreaker promises to satisfy players’ sweet tooth for exciting gameplay and massive wins.
The revolutionary ClusterBreaker feature can split any symbol (excluding Bonus and Super Bonus symbols) into 2, 3, or 4 identical symbols in the same position, dramatically increasing winning potential with each spin. Each symbol can only split once per spin, creating dynamic and unpredictable gameplay that keeps players on the edge of their seats.
When winning symbols cascade away, their positions are marked. If another winning symbol lands in the same marked position consecutively, multiplier frames are created – starting at x2 and potentially doubling all the way up to a massive x1024 during base gameplay. These multipliers reset after each spin in the base game, creating anticipation with every new cascade.
3 Bonus Symbols trigger 10 Free Spins, and 4 Bonus Symbols reward players with 15 Free Spins. Multipliers in this feature function in the same manner as in the base game with one crucial difference – they do not reset between spins, so there are potentially massive multiplier gains to be enjoyed during the bonus round.
The premium bonus experience is triggered by landing the Super Bonus Symbol (available only on reel 4) along with regular Bonus Symbols. Two Bonus Symbols plus the Super Bonus Symbol awards 10 Super Free Spins, while three Bonus Symbols with the Super Bonus Symbol grants 15 Super Free Spins.
What makes these Super Free Spins exceptionally rewarding is that multiplier frames start at x3 and can triple with each consecutive win at the same position – reaching a staggering maximum of x2187. These enhanced multipliers and marked positions remain active throughout the entire Super Free Spins round for truly spectacular win potential.
Players seeking immediate bonus action can purchase directly into either bonus round. The standard Free Spins Bonus is available for 100x the bet, while the Super Free Spins Bonus costs 200x the bet, offering instant access to the game’s most thrilling features.
Stakelogic’s signature Super Stake™ feature allows players to double their chances of triggering Free Spins for an additional 50% of their base game bet – perfect for those looking to maximize their bonus opportunities.
James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, commented: “Cozy Candy ClusterBreaker represents everything players love about Stakelogic games – innovative mechanics, stunning visuals, and massive win potential, all wrapped in a charming, cozy theme. The ClusterBreaker feature creates genuinely unpredictable and exciting gameplay, while our progressive multiplier system in both bonus rounds delivers those heart-racing big win moments that players crave.”
Cozy Candy ClusterBreaker is available now through Stakelogic’s partner network of operators worldwide.
