Aruze Gaming Establishes First European Office to Support Expanding European Market
Aruze Gaming Europe (Aruze), a leading developer of gambling entertainment solutions for the global casino market, today announced its first office in Europe providing a dedicated sales and service support to Aruze’s European, Middle Eastern and North African marketbases.
“Aruze’s presence is expanding rapidly in European, Middle Eastern, and North African markets and the establishment of our independent office demonstrates our continued commitment to the players and operators of these regions,” said David Meacher, Director of Business Operations at Aruze Gaming Europe. “Our customers are invaluable to us, and bringing ourselves that much closer to them will strengthen our relationship and understanding of these specific markets, as well as provide more in-depth and personalized service and sales support.”
The office operates out of The Netherlands and will serve as Aruze’s European headquarters moving forward. Aruze has seen noticeable growth in sales and installations in Europe, as well as the Middle East and Northern Africa. As new markets continue to arise in these regions, Aruze Gaming Europe will look to capitalize through a dedicated and focused regional approach.
The expansion of Aruze’s offices to Europe furthers the company’s mission to be a global provider of casino solutions. Aruze provides a gaming solution for everyone, from classics such as Lucky Roulette and ETGs like BlackJack and more, all the way to iGaming. Aruze also provides unique casino-arcade hybrid games based on the company’s Activ-Play™ technology. These games are based on the same RNM technology of a slot, but have the engaging play-style of an arcade game. With the expansion, Aruze will also continue to bring its flagship luxury cabinets to Europe. The Muso Curve 43 and 55, and Muso Triple 27 and 32 provide a comfortable and captivating gaming experience.
Four Aruze team members will kick off the European office, with the company planning to expand throughout 2023. The direct regional support office announced operations ahead of ICE 2023, where Aruze’s products will be on display at booth S9-330.

Alternative Payment Methods
Paysafe expands Tebex checkout integration to add cards and more APMs
Tebex connects to the Paysafe API, extending beyond PaysafeCard to card processing and alternative payment methods including Openbucks in the US.
Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE) has expanded its partnership with video game monetization platform Tebex, adding card payments and additional alternative payment methods (APMs) through a single integration to the Paysafe API. The update was announced July 7, 2026 in London.
Tebex has integrated the Paysafe Gateway to support credit and debit card processing alongside APMs. Tebex said its checkout has offered Paysafe’s prepaid eCash product PaysafeCard since 2016, and the new API integration connects Tebex to a broader set of Paysafe payment products.
The integration also links Tebex to Paysafe’s branded APMs. Tebex Checkout is already live with Openbucks, which enables US gamers to pay online with cash using third-party gift cards purchased in-store at “67K+ locations,” or via Openbucks’ Obucks digital card sold through authorized online resellers.
Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, said: “We’re delighted to broaden our partnership with Tebex. In a highly competitive market, video game creatives need to satisfy gamers’ increasingly diverse transactional expectations. By connecting the Tebex Checkout to an exhaustive range of payment options, including recognizable brands like our Openbucks solution, the Paysafe Gateway will give Tebex and its customers an edge when it comes to streamlining, simplifying and ultimately optimizing the monetization of gaming.”
Liam Wiltshire, Vice President and GM of Tebex, commented: “At Tebex, we know payments are more than a transaction. They’re a critical part of how studios build relationships with their players and grow their games. Acting as an extension of the studio, our role is to remove the complexity of global payments, compliance, and support so teams can focus on creating amazing experiences. Expanding our partnership with Paysafe allows Tebex to offer greater choice and flexibility at checkout, helping our partners reach more players, reduce friction, and unlock new opportunities for growth.”

Paysafe strengthens Tebex’s payment offering for video gaming industry
Expanded partnership sees video gaming monetization platform Tebex integrate to Paysafe API for card payments and multiple alternative payment methods
Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), a global payments platform, today announced its expanded partnership with Tebex, the game monetization extension and growth platform for game servers and game studios. Tebex, which acts as an extension of a gaming studio, has integrated the Paysafe Gateway into its platform to enable video game merchants to provide their customers with true optionality when they transact – from card payments to alternative payment methods (APMs).
The Tebex Checkout has featured Paysafe’s flagship prepaid eCash solution PaysafeCard since 2016, and now, through a single, streamlined integration with the Paysafe API, it is connected to the company’s complete range of payment solutions. This includes seamless credit card and debit card payments, with all transactions processed in seconds by Paysafe.
The Gateway also connects Tebex to Paysafe’s suite of branded APMs, with the Tebex Checkout already live with the company’s Openbucks solution. Boasting strong brand recognition in the American video gaming community, this APM allows US gamers to pay online with cash using third-party gift cards, which can be bought in-store at 67K+ locations, or Openbucks’ own Obucks digital card, available for purchase online via authorized resellers.
With Openbucks and future Paysafe-powered solutions, Tebex continues to expand its network of local and alternative payment methods, enabling studios to reach players in more markets with payment options that reflect regional preferences and improve conversion rates with a seamless player experience.

F*Bastards says it now distributes content via 400+ operators worldwide
F*Bastards says its casino content is now available through more than 400 operators worldwide, marking a distribution milestone for the iGaming supplier as it continues to expand its portfolio and partner network.
In a company statement outlining its background, Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas said the team’s earlier attempt to build a game studio fell short due to positioning rather than production capability. “Looking back, we realised we weren’t missing talent. We were missing identity. We could build games, but we hadn’t built something people could remember. That lesson became the starting point for everything F*Bastards would later become.” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
The company said it intentionally built its brand around differentiation, including the decision to use the name F*Bastards despite the expectation it would split opinion among potential partners. The founders described early progress as incremental, driven by game releases, industry events, operator feedback and relationship-building, rather than a single breakout moment.
F*Bastards also pointed to a fundraising milestone in 2026, saying it secured its first seven-figure investment. The company positioned the round as validation of execution rather than an early-stage concept.
“From day one, the goal wasn’t to become the biggest supplier. It was to build something people would remember. We’ve come a long way, but in many ways, it still feels like we’re only getting started” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
