iGaming operators can accept instant, account-to-account payments and instant withdrawals in any app or website, delivering the most comprehensive European payments experience.
Jack Potts Bingo in Ireland is already live using the product with Spanish operator Codere going live in the coming weeks.

Payments with TrueLayer are lower cost and lower fraud than traditional payment options including cards, manual bank transfer and digital wallets.

TrueLayer, Europe’s leading open banking platform, today announced it has launched its closed-loop payment product across Europe, including Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Lithuania and the Netherlands. iGaming operators can now offer secure, instant and cost-effective deposits and withdrawals across the continent.

Traditional payment methods weren’t built to handle the speed of online commerce. With cards taking up to three days to settle, operators struggle to manage liquidity, while players have to wait in limbo for withdrawals. Cards and digital wallets generate substantial costs through interchange fees, chargeback penalties and time-consuming manual tracking processes. There is also the issue of rising card fraud in Europe, which totalled €1.55 billion in 2020, with card-not-present fraud accounting for 76% of those cases. France, Germany and Spain all ranked in the top five for card fraud losses.

TrueLayer is addressing these points with a more cost-effective, frictionless and secure European payments platform for iGaming operators, built on open banking and the fastest available bank payment rails. It delivers:

Instant pay-ins: Players can top up their accounts in seconds with account-to-account payments. Deposits settle in a dedicated merchant account and are automatically reconciled against customers’ details.
Instant withdrawals: Verified account details are associated with each player allowing businesses to provide instant withdrawals and refunds back into the same account used for the deposit with a simple API call.
Dedicated merchant accounts: Operators can automate reconciliation processes and gain full visibility of their player’s account details as soon as payment settles. They can also withdraw automatically into their bank account.

Roberto Villani, Head of iGaming at TrueLayer, commented: “With TrueLayer, iGaming operators across Europe can create a better payment experience. A single implementation of our platform delivers immediate deposits so players can get started and instant withdrawals for their winnings. Card refunds can take up to five days, destroying customer loyalty in the process, while other methods are prone to operational inefficiencies, human error and lost payouts that can damage businesses’ reputations. With TrueLayer, players can see the instant transfer of funds with minimal fuss or having to chase support teams asking where their money is.”

Ran Kshivizky, Payments Product Manager at Codere, explained: ‘We want to deliver the best player experience possible and if you can pay instantly you should be able to get your funds out instantly. When you know you can access winnings quickly that is also a differentiator for Codere and is also likely to make players come back. TrueLayer provides the ideal solution as it’s money in and out straight away – without the poor UX and operational overheads of cards, manual transfers or wallets.”

TrueLayer Payments is the most comprehensive solution on the market, delivering significant benefits for operators and players, including:

Instant access to funds: payments are confirmed instantly, enabling operators to serve players more efficiently and receive funds faster. Real-time payment confirmation provides peace of mind that each transaction has been authorised.

Frictionless checkout processes: inputting card details is inconvenient for players and errors can derail the entire payment process. TrueLayer removes any manual entry on banking details, eliminating mistakes and making it easier to complete a payment.
Fewer abandoned payments: tested on millions of transactions across the UK and Europe, TrueLayer’s embedded payment flows make paying easier than ever. The result is fewer payment abandonments and higher conversion rates.
Lower operational costs: Open banking removes interchange fees and chargebacks of cards, making them far more cost-effective. TrueLayer automates expensive and time consuming manual processes such as reconciliation and sending payouts, with full visibility of all payments via the merchant dashboard.
Reduced payment fraud: Payments are PSD2 and SCA compliant, with payments authenticated directly with the bank, reducing the opportunity for fraud and chargebacks.
Enhanced player experience: Instant deposits enable operators to provide access to their services with the certainty they have received the funds and players to use their funds immediately. Instant withdrawals through TrueLayer provide an additional level of assurance that their money will be returned efficiently.

Till Wirth, Head of Product at TrueLayer, added:“We have used our experience and expertise to deliver an effortless way to onboard new customers and enable them to quickly fund their accounts and withdraw winnings, delivering faster, safer and lower cost payments for operators in the process. That, in turn, supports increased trust and loyalty – for example YouGov research showed 64% of players were more likely to trust an operator that offered instant withdrawals and deposits. More than half (55%) said they were likely to switch to a provider that offered instant withdrawals.”

N1 Partners is launching N1 Sport Promo, a promo campaign for affiliates driving Sports Betting and Prediction Markets traffic.

The promotion covers the biggest sporting and esports events of the season, including the FIFA World Cup 2026, Wimbledon, Formula 1, UFC Freedom 250, and many other major events. The promo runs from June 10 to July 20, 2026.

During the campaign, affiliates can increase their CPA payouts based on the volume of qualified FTDs they deliver. The more quality players a partner brings, the higher his rate and total earnings become.

Why join N1 Sport Promo?

Every major sporting event attracts new audiences to the betting vertical, and summer 2026 offers multiple powerful growth drivers for affiliates.

Peak sports season.
The biggest sporting events of the year are perfect for scaling traffic and testing new funnels.
Growing payouts.
The more FTDs you generate, the higher your active CPA rate becomes.
Tier-1 GEOs.
The promo is available across Tier-1 markets with high potential and quality sports traffic.

N1 Partners team has compiled a guide covering key sporting events, June promotions, and expert recommendations for monetising Tier-1 sports traffic to help affiliates prepare for the upcoming sports season.

How does N1 Sport Promo work?

The mechanics are simple: the more quality FTDs an affiliate generates, the higher their CPA rate becomes.

SEO and PPC

Affiliates working with SEO and PPC traffic can increase their CPA rate with no limits.

Every 10 FTDs add an extra €50 to your current rate. There is no cap on CPA growth.

Example:

FTD	Rate	Revenue
1–10	€300	€3 000
11–20	€350	€3 500
21–30	€400	€4 000
31–40	€450	€4 500

FB, In-App, UAC, ASO, Email and SMS

A separate payout structure applies to affiliates working with Facebook, In-App, UAC, ASO, Email, and SMS traffic.

Every 30 FTDs increase your current CPA rate by €10. The maximum increase is €100 on top of the base rate.

Accordingly, the more successfully a campaign scales, the higher the final payout becomes.

Example:

FTD	Rate	Revenue
1–30	€100	€3 000
31–60	€110	€3 300
61–90	€120	€3 600

Novusbet and Peruvian operator TeApuesto are expanding a large-scale omnichannel betting operation in Peru, Novusbet said on 11 June 2026 in a release from Nicosia, Cyprus. The supplier said the deployment links a retail network of more than 1,300 shops—each with at least two terminals—to online, mobile, self-service terminals and back-office operations.

Novusbet said the TeApuesto operation processes more than 3 million sports and virtual tickets every month. The company positioned the project as an example of growing convergence between retail and digital betting in Peru, where shops remain central but customer expectations are shifting toward faster access, mobile use and digital payment options.

According to Novusbet, the focus is “not only about allowing players to access the same brand through different channels” but “creating continuity across the full player journey: from registration and betting activity to payments, ticket management, account interaction, information access and customer support.”

The company also pointed to local payment habits as a driver for product development, citing mobile money transfer services Yape and Plin as widely used in Peru. Novusbet said it has enhanced self-service and “omniconnected solutions” with payment options aligned with local usage patterns.

Novusbet said it will exhibit at Peru Gaming Show 2026 on June 17–18 at the Centro de Exposiciones Jockey in Lima.

ICONIC21 releases Soccer World Championship slot built around penalty shootouts

ICONIC21 has released Soccer World Championship, a new multiplayer-driven slot themed around penalty shootouts. The game runs on a 5×5 grid with 15 paylines.

The title’s core mechanic is a Penalty symbol that becomes an Expanding Wild and triggers a duel between a Striker and a Goalkeeper. Each carries a multiplier between 2x and 100x, with the duel outcome determining which remains on the reel. ICONIC21 said multiple Expanding Wilds on the same payline combine their multipliers into a single win.

The game includes two bonus modes. Three Goalkeeper Bonus symbols trigger a Bonus Game featuring frequent Penalty symbols, where multipliers from Expanding WILDs build a global multiplier applied to all wins. Three Striker Bonus symbols instead activate a Bonus Game where Expanding WILDs lock as Sticky WILDs until the end of the feature.

Edvardas Sadovskis, Chief Product Officer at ICONIC21, said: “Football is the one sport where a single moment can decide everything, and that is exactly the feeling we set out to build a slot around.

“The penalty duel puts that tension at the heart of the base game, and the two bonus modes give players genuinely different ways for the match to play out. It’s a title with an instantly recognisable hook, strong seasonal reference and the kind of standout mechanic that earns its place in any operator’s lobby.”
