CashtoCode goes live in 10 new countries and 300,000 locations in major global expansion
CashtoCode, the payments service for online merchants, today announced its availability in more than 300,000 retail locations across 10 new countries. This rapid global expansion of the CashtoCode network will give merchants instant access to countries across LATAM, Asia and Africa. Notable new CashtoCode retail locations include 7-Eleven in Mexico, Santander in Brazil, and Western Union in The Philippines.
In many of these countries, cash transactions play an important role in day-to-day life, and are a popular way of paying for digital services such as online entertainment, streaming, social networks and gaming. The CashtoCode service is designed for the large market sector of people who prefer cash payments, as a fast and easy way for online entertainment providers to reach hundreds of thousands of retail locations. It is ideal for merchants already in these countries, as well as those looking to expand there in the future.
CashtoCode has grown significantly in the last 18 months, both in Europe and following its successful launch in international markets such as Nigeria and Australia. However, this expansion represents the biggest increase to its global footprint to date. The scale and speed of this global expansion underscores CashtoCode’s position as an emerging force in the cash payments industry ready to rival the incumbent brands.
“This rapid expansion of our global footprint offers some big benefits to merchants and customers alike,” said CashtoCode CEO, Jens Bader. “Cash deposits have always proven to be an effective driver of incremental revenue, and many digital entertainment providers are exploring new ways of adding cash to their payments ecosystem.
“This expansion gives existing merchants the ability to immediately tap into a diverse mix of cash-centric countries and emerging markets. For customers who like cash, our service is secure, reliable and easy to use, and will fill a gap in the market for simple and accessible payment options. To put the 300,000 locations figure into perspective, there are 39,000 McDonalds locations worldwide.

SIS strengthens live Numbers partnership with Hollywoodbets through launch of two new 49’s draws
SIS (Sports Information Services), a leading provider of 24/7 live betting content, has expanded its long-standing partnership with Hollywoodbets through the launch of two new 49’s live draws.
The agreement enhances Hollywoodbets’ popular live Numbers product, giving players across Africa more daily opportunities to engage with the fixed-odds format.
New Brunchtime and Drivetime Draws
The newly introduced Brunchtime and Drivetime 49’s draws will run daily at:
-
11:49am (BST) / 12:49pm (SAST)
-
4:49pm (BST) / 5:49pm (SAST)
All draws are broadcast from SIS’s UK studios, delivered as a fully managed, end-to-end solution with a strong focus on integrity and reliability.
The new additions further strengthen Hollywoodbets’ live Numbers schedule, creating more touchpoints throughout the day to keep players engaged.
Building on Fast 15’s and 39’s Success
The expanded 49’s portfolio complements SIS’s existing Fast 15’s and 39’s draws, which launched with Hollywoodbets last year and have already delivered strong engagement and improved margins.
-
Fast 15’s offers a high-frequency, high-churn format with competitive odds and an engaging, easy-to-follow structure.
-
39’s provides live draws every three minutes, acting as an effective filler product during quieter betting periods while increasing betting opportunities and win potential.
Together, the products form a comprehensive live Numbers ecosystem designed to maximise engagement and revenue throughout the day.
Strengthening SIS’ Position in Africa
Joe Andrews, Head of Sales across Africa at SIS, said the launch represents another milestone in the partnership.
“Our latest collaboration with Hollywoodbets will play a crucial role in elevating the profile of the Brunchtime and Drivetime draws across Africa, further strengthening our leading live Numbers position across the continent.
Alongside the continued success of Fast 15’s and 39’s, we are confident the enhanced 49’s product will resonate strongly with players as a dynamic alternative.”
Wayde Dorkin, Head of Product at Hollywoodbets, highlighted the importance of innovation in maintaining player engagement.
“We are always looking to evolve our product offering and deliver compelling, entertaining betting experiences. The addition of two new 49’s draws, alongside our existing Fast 15’s and 39’s content, significantly enhances our Numbers portfolio.
The SIS live Numbers offering has consistently engaged our players across Africa, and we’re confident this expanded product suite will drive continued growth.”
With additional daily draws and a proven live format, SIS and Hollywoodbets are reinforcing their commitment to delivering engaging, high-integrity betting content to players across Africa.
