Global cryptocurrency betting and gaming operator Stake.com announces betting partner sponsorship of bantamweight title rematch between Naoya Inoue and Nonito Donaire
Stake, the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency betting and gaming operator, is excited to announce its sponsorship of the upcoming bantamweight title rematch between Naoya Inoue and Nonito Donaire on June 7th in Tokyo, Japan. The pair’s fight in 2019, won by Inoue, was named ESPN’s Fight of the Year and this year’s WBA, IBF and WBC title fight is one of boxing’s most eagerly anticipated rematches of recent years.
The world bantamweight contest will take place at the 36,000 capacity Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo, which has previously hosted high-profile UFC and NBA events, and will be screened to fight fans live across Japan exclusively on Amazon Prime.
The contest marks Stake’ second high profile boxing sponsorship in Japan in recent months, with the brand having previously been ringside for April’s World Middleweight unification bout between Gennady Golovkin and Ryōta Murata, underling Stake.com’s continuing commitment to supporting the biggest occasions in global boxing.
As the official betting partner of the event, Stake branding will feature heavily in the ring and across the stadium inventory. The brand will also be offering market-leading odds and double winnings on fight winner bets if the match ends in a KO/TKO on any of the Stake logos displayed around the ring.
This latest partnership complements Stake.com’s extensive global sports sponsorship portfolio including deals with the UFC, soccer legend Sergio Aguero and English football club Watford FC, along with international multi-platinum artist Drake.
Dominic Rae, Sponsorships Manager for Stake, said: “We’re delighted to continue to support the biggest events in boxing across the globe and are very excited to become the official betting partner for Naoya Inoue vs Nonito Donaire.
“Like all boxing purists, everyone at Stake.com can’t wait for the rematch and hope this fight is every bit as memorable as the first brilliant bout between these two elite fighters.”

BC Engine
BC.GAME launches BC Engine, introducing continuous rewards model powered by $BC
Global crypto gaming platform BC.GAME has introduced BC Engine, a new rewards system designed to provide players with ongoing value from their gameplay, without minimum thresholds or tier requirements.
Inspired by crypto staking models, BC Engine transforms the platform’s native token, $BC, from a one-time incentive into a continuous rewards mechanism. Players still earn $BC through wagering as usual, but instead of being distributed as a standalone reward, the token is automatically allocated into BC Engine, where it contributes to ongoing earnings.
Rewards are distributed hourly in BCD, BC.GAME’s USD-pegged token, with each player’s payout determined by their $BC balance at the time of distribution. This structure creates a more consistent and transparent reward model, directly linking player activity to tangible returns.
The system also introduces a more sustainable approach by aligning reward funding with actual gaming performance, reducing reliance on traditional promotional spending.
Importantly, BC Engine is accessible to all players from day one, with no wagering thresholds or tier-based entry requirements, allowing users to begin earning rewards from their very first bet.
Alongside the launch, BC.GAME has rolled out additional enhancements to its rewards ecosystem, including a Welcome Shield protection feature for new users, as well as updated daily, weekly, and monthly reward programs.
The release comes as BC.GAME continues to expand in regulated markets, with an increased focus on compliance, local partnerships, and sustainable growth. The platform has been adapting its offering to meet jurisdictional requirements while strengthening its position across both licensed environments and its global crypto audience.
Kar Kheng Giam, Chief Executive Officer of BC.GAME, said:
“We want rewards to be simpler, more immediate, and more sustainable. Players should see value from the moment they start playing, without needing to reach specific milestones. With BC Engine, $BC becomes a core part of how ongoing rewards are delivered.”
The new features are now live across multiple markets, subject to local regulatory availability.

Paysafe launches Pay with Crypto solution to meet US iGaming market demand
Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), a global payments platform, today announced the launch of Pay with Crypto, a new crypto payment method for iGaming operators and daily fantasy sports brands in the U.S. market. Powered by MoonPay, the leader in global crypto payments and stablecoin infrastructure, Pay with Crypto allows iGaming brands’ customers to use their preferred stablecoin or cryptocurrency to effortlessly fund their player accounts, where permitted.
With a reported ~70.4m American adults owning cryptocurrency and with Paysafe’s own research indicating that 83% of U.S. players have appetite for crypto payments, the company has responded to meet this demand with Pay with Crypto. Whether a player wants to fund their iGaming account using USD Coin (USDC), another stablecoin, or any major cryptocurrency, Paysafe’s new payment option for operators’ cashiers enables their crypto deposit to be rapidly converted to U.S. dollars to allow play.
After selecting Pay with Crypto and their preferred stablecoin or cryptocurrency, players simply connect their crypto or custodial wallet to fund the deposit, with the MoonPay Commerce Checkouts technology also supporting transactions via QR code using users’ phones. Once transactions have been verified, Pay with Crypto instantly converts crypto deposits into U.S. dollars to fund the player account.
The flexibility embedded in the Pay with Crypto solution also extends to operators, which can choose to settle payments almost instantly in stablecoins in their business’s crypto wallet, or settle in U.S. dollars or any major fiat currency through MoonPay’s Virtual Accounts powered by Iron.
Operators can upgrade their cashiers with Pay with Crypto through a single, streamlined integration of the Paysafe Gateway, which has been developed specifically for iGaming and leverages the company’s 30 years’ global experience. With the Gateway already boasting frictionless card payments, the Skrill digital wallet, the PaysafeCash eCash solution, a Pay by Bank product, and 30+ local payment methods, the addition of Pay with Crypto sees Paysafe continue to diversify its offering to meet evolving transactional preferences.
Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, said: “Galvanized by the growing popularity of stablecoins, cryptocurrency is evolving in the U.S. from an investment asset into a unit of value for payments, and we’re seeing this shift gather pace in the country’s iGaming market. Against this backdrop, we’re delighted to unveil Pay with Crypto, a forward-thinking solution that strongly positions U.S. operators for their customers’ changing transactional preferences – the future of how they pay when they play.”
Ivan Soto-Wright, Founder and CEO of MoonPay, commented: “Crypto rails are making payments faster and more efficient, and our job is to close the gap between this technology and real-world utility. People shouldn’t have to convert their digital assets just to make a purchase – they want to use what they already have. Paysafe brings that experience to more people through trusted, regulated platforms.”
