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.”

GGBET UA kicks off the “Keep it GG” promotional campaign
A leading gaming brand in Ukraine has launched a collection of ads featuring the tagline “Keep it GG” as part of an extensive communications initiative. The videos are currently being broadcast on Ukrainian TV, online platforms, and the brand’s social media accounts.
“GG” (Good Game) started in video game culture, yet its significance has far surpassed the literal meaning of “well played.” Currently, it symbolizes a worldwide sign of honor and gratitude for the feelings exchanged following a match, no matter the outcome. This concept served as the basis for GGBET UA’s latest marketing campaign. The video series embodies a unique GG atmosphere: rather than using a conventional voiceover, it incorporates complete audio tracks; the narrative features both literal and metaphorical allusions to sports and esports terms, alongside in-game and casino aspects; and prominent Ukrainian footballers are among the main characters.
“Every game, every match, every tournament is a moment that brings people together. For us, it’s important that every interaction with GGBET gives users that good game feeling — an experience that outlives the result and leaves vivid emotions behind, just like after watching a match,” comments CEO of GGBET UA, Serhii Mishchenko.
Going beyond the traditional view of GG also signifies a more profound implication — the brand’s strategic focus. The international brand, which has concentrated on esports for several years and attained significant success in esports betting and collaborations, is now adopting best practices to enhance traditional sports in regional markets. GGBET UA showcases a wider strategy for Good Game via collaborations (FC Dynamo Kyiv, FC Polissya, and the Ukrainian Basketball Federation), by organizing its own events and special projects, including initiatives that blend sports with esports, like the Match of LeGGends: Derby showmatch on the server featuring esports athletes and football players.
The brand’s creative team collaborated with a Ukrainian advertising agency and a Ukrainian production company to develop the commercials. GGBET UA made this choice to assist the local creative sector amid the war.
