TrueLayer, Europe’s leading open banking platform, today announces its collaboration with state-of-the-art iGaming platform White Hat Gaming, implementing the PayDirect solution as part of its strategy to deliver an enhanced player experience for clients.

While card-based options remain the most popular payment method, they create avoidable friction along the player journey, affecting retention rates and generating avoidable costs due to higher failure rates and chargebacks compared to open banking.

With PayDirect, White Hat Gaming gains a digitally-native payment option that delivers significant benefits, including:

Increased operator revenue through higher conversion: payment failures are much lower with PayDirect than cards (on average cards fail up to 15% of the time vs 3.5% with PayDirect). This means more efficient deposits and less time spent managing failed payments that can lead to customer churn.

Increased customer retention: Card-based deposits can take a day to settle, while withdrawals can take longer. PayDirect increases retention and reduces the number of support calls by customers querying payments, by offering players instant deposits and withdrawals.

Reduced risk and fraud: With PayDirect account ownership and identity authentication are handled by the customer’s bank with no credential sharing or password storage.

White label payments: using the operator brand and the player’s chosen bank, rather than a third party brand, increases trust as the operator owns the end-to-end payment process.

Lower operating costs: PayDirect reduces cost by automating manual processes such as payment reconciliation. Winnings are issued to the same bank account the player used to make the deposit, removing opportunities for human error compared to manual bank transfers, and reducing customer support cases on lost payments.

“Secure, seamless and instant payments are becoming increasingly important to operators. TrueLayer’s PayDirect adds another dimension to enhancing the player experience by also delivering instant withdrawals – and what’s better than not having to wait to access your winnings?” commented Eric Sheridan, Head of Payments at White Hat Gaming.

Roberto Villani, Head of iGaming at TrueLayer, added: “Open banking is creating a huge opportunity for the industry to embrace innovation and operators are recognising the role it can play in increasing brand trust and player retention. TrueLayer is leading the way as a positive force in the industry with PayDirect, enabling players to instantly fund their accounts and receive instant payouts. We’re delighted to be working with White Hat Gaming to create a better player experience while also delivering significant operational efficiencies.”

Evolution announced the launch of Ice Fishing, a fast-paced new addition to its live game show portfolio, first revealed at ICE 2025. Set against an arctic backdrop, Ice Fishing puts a fresh spin on the big money wheel format, with three unique bonus games, suspenseful gameplay, and multiplier wins of up to 5,000x.

At the centre of the game is a 53-segment wheel, where each spin can award an instant cash prize or trigger one of three themed bonus rounds: Lil’ Blues, Big Oranges, and Huge Reds. Each bonus offers its own gameplay style and multiplier potential — up to 100x, 200x and 500x respectively.

Enhancing the excitement are multiplier boosts that can land during the main game and carry through into the bonus rounds. This adds an extra layer of anticipation and a max win potential of up to 5,000x.

Todd Haushalter, Evolution’s Chief Product Officer, said: “We’ve wanted to create a speed game show for a long time, as we’re seeing a growing audience that craves faster, more instantly gratifying formats. It’s a trend not unlike the rising preference for TikTok-style shorts over long-form video. Ice Fishing is our take on that idea. It’s fast, fun, and packed with dramatic gameplay.”

Haushalter added: “The magic lies in the anticipation, waiting to see what kind of fish players will catch and how big the outcome might be. There are little surprises and bursts of excitement woven into the entertainment experience, and we think players will enjoy uncovering them. We’re genuinely excited about this format, as it opens the door to a new style of rapid game show with strong potential.”
