Hugo is in for another wild adventure! Madcap mayhem from start to finish; Hugo must collect as much gold as he can. Joined by his lovely wife Hugolina, they enter the mine, swiftly followed by the not-so-lovely Scylla. It’s a bumpy ride. Keeping their hands on the gold may not be as easy as they first thought.

A fast-paced game with a heap of features. A little different from other games in the Hugo series, the focus shifts from independent paylines to the entire grid creating a more innovative play. Heightened further by the addition of Dynamic Payways which multiply the number of payways that each spin offers.

The re-spin feature sees characters released in quick succession giving the impression of characters chasing each other, comparable to Mario Carts or Wacky Races. Players can even select who they play as, a nostalgic nod to the original Hugo video games.

Ever since his first appearance at Play’n GO in 2016, Hugo has been a beloved character. With six games now in the series. We’ve seen Hugo get himself into all sorts of mischief in Hugo Football and Hugo’s Adventure. Hugo Carts sees the cheeky troll return to the mines, reminiscent of the first game.

Based on the much-loved Danish franchise, Hugo’s vibrant graphics and familiar characters pave the way for a bright future of games. Head of Games Charlotte Miliziano is excited to continue the Hugo narrative.

“Although Hugo Carts is part of a series, this game has been designed to bring something new to the table. However, we’ve maintained the beloved troll’s cheeky character. Let’s face it, who doesn’t love Hugo!?”

Request Network Releases Major Updates Bringing Crypto Payments With Wallet Screening To The iGaming Industry

Published

on

Zug, Switzerland, June 1st, 2026, PlayNewswire

Request Network allows any actor to reach 95% of the global stablecoin supply through a single integration, with built-in wallet screening powered by Hypernative.

Today, Request Network, a major Web3 payment protocol since 2017, announced new features that the iGaming sector has needed for a long time. iGaming was the first to embrace crypto payments at scale, and yet the sector could not rely on decentralized technology at scale. It relied on multiple crypto processors with limited reach, with friction on all flows, and counterparty risks due to the funds’ custody.

Today, Request Network is launching a set of technologies that breaks this pattern.

Reaching 95% of the global stablecoin supply

iGaming operators need to accept crypto deposits from any player globally, but players’ holdings are fragmented across chains and tokens. Accepting any token meant setting up and managing wallets on every chain, or delegating to payment service providers, leaving the players captive to those providers.

Operators now have the ability to own only one wallet and collect globally with one integration. Thanks to Request Network’s decentralized, permissionless, and cross-chain technologies, players can now pay with whatever they own, while the operators receive what they want on the chain they choose. Neither side needs to know which chain the other side is using.

With Request Network, operators now reach 95% of the global stablecoin supply and active users through a single integration, across seven chains (Ethereum, BNB, Tron, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism).

One-click secure deposits for the players

iGaming players just want to deposit and play. But paying in crypto usually meant bridging, swapping and holding gas before executing a deposit, and sometimes even running penny tests to make sure the address was correct. The process is intimidating, creating friction and ultimately causing drop-offs.

Request Network provides the players with a decentralized secure payment page, where they can just choose the chain and token they want to pay with in a single gasless transaction, where bridging and swapping happen behind the scenes.

Additionally, this decentralized page is equipped with security features protecting payers from interacting with malicious smart contracts.

The result is an intuitive and secure one-click deposit experience with one of the highest completion rates in crypto.

Wallet screening on deposits to protect the recipients

iGaming operators accepting crypto are exposed to asset freezing and wallet blacklisting. Most screenings happen after the transaction, only flagging the risk once the funds have reached the operator’s wallets, exposing them to long legal procedures to release the frozen funds.

To mitigate that, Request Network allows the recipient to screen the sending wallet before the funds move. The protocol connects natively with Hypernative, which provides market-standard policies to identify and restrict high-risk funds from reaching the recipient. The player will only be able to deposit funds if their wallet complies with the screening policy in place.

If a recipient needs to defend the provenance of its funds, Request Network allows the recipient to store all the screening results for later use.

The result is that operators can now confidently accept funds from on-chain wallets, reducing the risk of frozen assets and better protecting their operations.

Built for the long run, governed by a foundation

iGaming operators, white label providers and PSPs today have two options to accept and disburse crypto payments at scale, and neither is perfect. The first relied on a globally fragmented crypto processing market, with multiple integrations to maintain, whereas the second one relied on larger providers, with changing risk appetites and regulatory coverage; both options carried important continuity risks.

By being decentralized, permissionless and accessible to anyone, Request Network is becoming the only integration you’ll need to collect or disburse stablecoins globally. The protocol has been developed by a community-owned Swiss foundation since 2017 and funded through its REQ token, providing it with neutrality and resilience.

The result is a single crypto acceptance technology that can be relied upon across geographies, while offering the most competitive costs on the market.

Tristan Wallaert, CEO of the Request Network Foundation, said: “Crypto was supposed to replace traditional payment methods, but the reality is that a few components were missing to make it a reality. It was still too complex, with too many risks on both sides for money to move freely as intended.At Request Network, we went back to the drawing board to redefine what crypto payments should look like: something simple, scalable, reliable and safe. We now believe that crypto is ready for a fresh start.

Gal Sagie, CEO and Co-Founder, Hypernative, said: “iGaming was one of the earliest and most natural fits for crypto payments, and yet the compliance infrastructure needed to make it work at scale has lagged. What Request Network has built here closes a real gap. Pre-transaction wallet screening means operators can accept funds with confidence, not just optimism. That’s the kind of security layer that turns promise into a functioning market.”

About Request Network

Since 2017, Request Network has developed, educated about, and promoted the use of a set of open-source, decentralized and permissionless protocols that provide infrastructure for on-chain payments and related financial flows;

Request Network allows anyone to send and receive crypto at scale, across chains, without custodial intermediaries. The protocol is developed by a community-funded foundation, whose mission is to make crypto payments accessible while protecting its actors.

To date, more than $2 billion has moved thanks to Request Network technology.

Atlaslive Integrates Altenar Sportsbook to Expand Platform Capabilities for Operators

Published

on

The B2B iGaming platform provider adds an award-winning sportsbook solution to its technology ecosystem, giving operators more flexibility ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Atlaslive announces the integration of Altenar’s fully managed sportsbook into its platform ecosystem. The partnership brings one of the industry’s most established sportsbook providers into Atlaslive’s technology stack, expanding the range of sportsbook configurations available to operators across the LATAM region.

Altenar is an award-winning sportsbook provider operating across more than 50 regulated jurisdictions, with licences from the UKGC, MGA, AGCO, and other major regulators. Most recently, the company was named Best Online Sportsbook Provider at the SiGMA South America Awards 2026 in São Paulo—building on its Sportsbook Supplier of the Year recognition at the SBC Awards Latinoamérica 2024.

The integration gives Atlaslive powered operators the option to deploy Altenar’s sportsbook technology alongside Atlaslive’s existing platform infrastructure. Operators can select the sportsbook configuration that best matches their market positioning, regulatory requirements, and player acquisition strategy, rather than being limited to a single-stack approach.

The timing is deliberate. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, demand for high-performance, scalable sportsbook solutions is set to peak. For operators, the tournament window is one of the highest-traffic periods in the sports betting cycle, and the ability to choose a battle-tested sportsbook within a familiar platform environment reduces both technical risk and time to market.

“Giving operators real choice in how they build their sportsbook is a competitive advantage—for them and for us. Altenar’s track record across regulated markets and their depth in risk management and trading make them the right partner to start with,” said Volodymyr Taftai, Country Director for Brazil, Atlaslive. “We’re expanding our platform into a multi-sportsbook ecosystem because that’s what operators in today’s market need: flexibility without compromise on quality.”

Frederico Caputi, Senior Sales Manager  at Altenar, added: “We are pleased to partner with Atlaslive to bring our sportsbook technology to their operator network. This integration allows us to reach new markets through a platform built for scale, while giving operators access to our fully managed sportsbook product, including live betting, risk management, and a deep sports content offering.”

Atlaslive provides a proprietary iGaming platform built to optimize the operations of sportsbook and casino businesses. The company is built around long-term operator partnerships, product-led growth, and full-stack platform delivery.
