OKTO, a leading fintech company powering digital payments, delivers its OKTO.CASH solution to Maxbet in Romania. Maxbet.ro users can now top-up their iGaming accounts via secure, fast, and easy e-Voucher cash payments.

“A ground-breaking e-Voucher cash payments solution delivered by the market-leading digital payments provider in the gaming industry space” is how Victor Rusinov, CEO of MaxBet.ro heralded the company’s exciting new partnership with OKTO. The payments partnership has been tailored to meet the specific requirements of MaxBet.ro which was established by a group of casino enthusiasts with a wealth of industry experience to deliver the best online gambling services available to Romanian players and is now one of the biggest operators in the market.

Explaining the significance of the partnership and how it works, OKTO’s Romania Country Representative Liviu Popovici, said: “Our proprietary technology is fully integrated into the MaxBet.ro mobile app and website which enables customers to replenish their accounts in real time via OKTO.CASH. It means that players can load their online accounts without having to leave either the operator’s mobile app or their site. The OKTO.CASH journey is seamless and consistent with the demands of 21st century consumers who want and expect a convenient, streamlined, zero-hassle eCash solution.”

He added: “There’s no such thing as a one size fits all solution, instead OKTO works with the operator to establish a payment method that meets the needs of the market and is adjusted to satisfy local preferences. The topping-up process is not only straightforward and easy to use but it can also be undertaken in real time and at the point-of-sale. OKTO’s point-of-sale presence includes the Selfpay network of 6,000 payment stations, as well as the network of the Digital Payment division of Euronet Worldwide, Inc’s with a global network of 748,000 terminals and is well represented in the region.”

Victor Rusinov, CEO of MaxBet.ro underlined the importance of selecting the correct payments partner and one with a track record of working with leading brands across numerous verticals. He said: “Trust and integrity are at the core of our relationship with OKTO. Our collaboration with OKTO started out of the wish to offer the ideal solution for users who enjoy all the benefits of online but still prefer to transact offline. We are always looking for new ways to facilitate our players’ experience and the fact that they are now able to top up their online player accounts instantly in a fast, easy, and secure way, gives us confidence that it was the best decision. We have been impressed by the technology, which is tried and tested, and by the brand’s ability to deliver a next-gen mobile-first experience that’s reliable, seamless, and secure.”

Zuckerberg further commented, “Customer experience is our top priority. We know what today’s players want—they value speed, simplicity, and familiarity. With Swiper’s social approach, we’re excited to see how this fresh UI/UX impacts engagement and loyalty.”

Operating under a Class I licence from Romania’s National Gambling Office (ONJN), Swiper, powered by Soft2Bet’s expertise across 19 licences and 11 jurisdictions, guarantees a regulated, safe, and responsible gaming environment that meets stringent international standards. This strong regulatory foundation not only builds credibility for Swiper but also reflects Soft2Bet’s commitment to redefining modern gaming through scalable, innovative, data-driven solutions that enhance player retention across regulated markets, as evidenced by the success of brands like Betinia, CampoBet, QuickCasino, Don.ro, ElaBet, ToonieBet and others.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has adopted a resolution on licensing conditions in the gambling sector, which allows the state agency PlayCity to begin issuing licenses to gambling organisers and confirming previously issued ones.

“As a result, this will generate almost UAH 50 million (1.028.956,00 Euro) in additional revenues to the state budget from license fees in the near future,” PlayCity reported on Telegram.

It is noted that to obtain a license, impeccable business reputation, lack of ties with the aggressor state and implementation of all necessary mechanisms for responsible gaming are required.

PlayCity clarified that such requirements apply to both those who are only applying for a license and current licensees. Current licensees have two months to submit documents to PlayCity on compliance with the requirements.

The message emphasises that if the requirements are not met, sanctions in the form of fines or termination of the license may be applied to the organisers of gambling.

“The state will direct additional budget revenues to strengthen defense capabilities, in particular, to purchase drones for the Defense Forces,” PlayCity added.
