MiFinity, the iGaming payment services company, celebrated a milestone in November as it passed 500 merchant branding integrations. With a rock-solid pipeline of merchants in integration, it will not be long before the 1,000 milestone is reached, with MiFinity continuing to expand its market share.

MiFinity is easily one of the fastest-growing payment services in the iGaming space, with the likes of Betsson , GGPoker and iBet in its rapidly expanding merchant base. With innovative products, including the MiFinity eVoucher available in 225 countries and territories, and core products such as the MiFinity eWallet and PayAnyBank servicing 82 Countries, operators are queuing up to integrate MiFinity as quickly as possible and keep up with player demands.

MiFinity CEO Paul Kavanagh said, “Our accelerated growth has been a massive team effort. Our tech and product teams have developed a portfolio of services that is second to none and have operators banging on the door, wanting to integrate MiFinity. Our customer care team go above and beyond to help players get the most out of our services, which in turn helps our merchants. Our affiliate, marketing, and commercial teams have a huge amount of market experience and are focused on supporting our merchants’ strategic goals, helping them increase conversions, revenue, and brand loyalty. And, of course, everyone else behind the scenes at MiFinity is committed to driving our success. 500 merchants and counting are all down to our incredible team.”

One of the reasons thousands of players are creating MiFinity eWallets EVERY DAY is the company’s low-cost fee approach and hugely flexible account structure. Players can hold up to nine native currencies in a single eWallet account, providing true consumer choice. MiFinity also boasts over 75 integrated payment methods and 17 currencies, in 20 languages, all accelerating demand from players to use their MiFinity eWallet on their favourite iGaming sites.

Kris Deyanov, Head of Business Development, commented: “MiFinity is in the enviable position of having iGaming customers asking operators to integrate our services into their cashiers so they can use the MiFinity eWallet. Forward-thinking, customer-centric operators understand that payment options are a significant and crucial part of the customer experience and that the right partners can help boost customer acquisition, retention and increase engagement. It’s not just about delivering frictionless and speedy transactions; it’s also about all the added value a payment services provider like MiFinity offers.”

MiFinity provides players with the most innovative and intuitive user experience available in the market. Its soon to be released, best-in-class native app and desktop version underpin its commitment to players. This best-in-class approach becomes an extension of the iGaming experience when MiFinity is integrated into the merchant’s cashier via the iFrame. MiFinity further supports its merchants with the industry’s most competitive affiliate programme, bespoke marketing campaigns, and in-app promotions.

500 and counting, is a lot for MiFinity to celebrate!

Groove has been named a finalist for Best Aggregator 2026 at the SiGMA Asia Awards, with the ceremony scheduled for 2 June 2026 at the SMX Convention Centre Manila during the SiGMA Asia Summit.

The shortlist was announced by Global Gaming Insider, according to the company. Groove said its platform aggregates more than 15,000 games from over 150 providers via a single API.

Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove, said: “This shortlist is external recognition of a truth we already feel internally: Groove is moving at a different pace. Asia is not a single market, it is a collection of distinct regulatory environments, player behaviours, and partnership opportunities”

Campo added: “Our platform is built to respect that complexity, not smooth it over. Being named a finalist for Best Aggregator tells us that our approach; deep integration, localised content strategies, and commercial precision; is resonating with the operators who matter most in this region. We are not just bringing games to Asia. We are bringing a roadmap for sustainable growth.”

Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Groove, said: “The aggregation space is crowded. Differentiation is everything. This nomination confirms that our vision, transforming aggregation from a commodity into a strategic growth discipline, is taking hold.” He added: “Operators across Asia are no longer asking for just volume or speed. They are asking for structural resilience, data intelligence, and a partner who can execute across fragmented regulatory landscapes with precision. Groove delivers that. To be recognised alongside the best in Asia is a privilege, but the real work continues in Manila and beyond. We are here to win, not just awards, but the trust of the operators who build their businesses on our platform.”

DATA.BET says turnover from its virtual content grew 168% between Q1 2025 and Q1 2026, with the supplier reporting the product accounted for 39% of total virtual sports turnover and 45% of profits over the period.

The company said the content is developed fully in-house and delivered through automated bot-vs-bot matches that run 24/7 without dependence on real-world fixture schedules. DATA.BET positioned the format as a way to provide continuous events and reduce operational overhead for operators.

Across the same period, DATA.BET reported +299% active users, +129% across clients GGR, +246% events per quarter, and +218% bets placed.

DATA.BET also said the audience profile overlaps with live football bettors, which it believes supports retention during seasonal breaks. The supplier added that the algorithm-driven format “carries no fraud exposure,” supports In-Stream Betting overlays, and provides near-zero latency between broadcast and market updates.

“Over the past year, our bot-vs-bot virtual content has delivered consistent, measurable results across every operator deployment. Building e-Football in-house gives us the flexibility to configure it to what each operator actually needs — whether that is a specific league structure, a particular mix of bot and player content, or a branded competition format,” mentioned Rostyslav Likhtin, Head of Product at DATA.BET.

They understand that younger audiences expect entertainment and engagement across every digital touchpoint, including finance, which is exactly how we think about design.”
