10bet chooses Sumsub for streamlined identity verification and increased global pass rates
Sumsub is pleased to announce a new collaboration with 10bet, a leading global sports betting and games operator.
10bet has integrated Sumsub’s verification platform into its existing systems, providing its 1M+ global customers with a comprehensive solution that includes user onboarding, age verification, proof of address check, and more. With its user-friendly interface and customizable verification flow, Sumsub ensures bulletproof fraud protection and full compliance with AML regulations while keeping 10bet’s global user pass rates high.
In particular, 10bet has signed up for Sumsub’s 1click onboarding solution in Brazil. This solution empowers 10bet to instantly verify bettors from Brazil without scanning their documents. All they need to do is provide their CPF number and pass a quick liveness (facial biometrics) check. This lightning-fast, document-free verification process is possible thanks to Sumsub’s direct access to government databases in Brazil containing citizens’ full names, dates of birth, addresses, photos, and other details. All the data is cross-checked automatically, and a person doesn’t need to upload any documents. For local users, 1click verification feels familiar, since people are already used to providing their ID number for verification, and every Brazilian citizen knows their CPF number by heart.
“We are excited to start working together with Sumsub, a global leader in user verification, anti-fraud and AML compliance. By combining our online sports betting expertise with Sumsub’s top-notch verification technologies, we are confident that we can streamline the onboarding process for our global bettors and enjoy increased user pass rates while mitigating fraud risks and safeguarding responsible gambling,” comments Nir Saadon, COO at 10bet.
“We are thrilled to announce our global collaboration with 10bet. Our platform has been designed to simplify and streamline the onboarding process for businesses while ensuring the highest level of compliance and enhancing user conversion. Offering our document-free verification for Brazilian bettors brings us special joy since Brazil is one of our focus markets. Sumsub provides a full stack of services for online gambling operators aiming at global growth, and we are constantly working to improve the quality of our offerings to stay ahead of the game,” adds Andrew Sever, co-founder and CEO of Sumsub.
Real-money casual puzzle tournament startup says an EU private investor backed the April 2026 round.
EasyWin, a U.S.-based real-money gaming startup, said it has closed its second seed funding round at a $20 million valuation. The company announced the round in April 2026 and said it was backed by a private investor from the European Union.
The company previously closed its first seed round in December 2025 at a $15.5 million valuation. That round included funding from Velo Partners, Vladimir Nikolsky and several private angel investors.
EasyWin was founded by Ivan Leshkevich, a former executive at mobile game publisher and developer Mamboo Entertainment. The startup, which currently has a team of eight, says it has built a global tournament platform for casual puzzle games with cash prizes and operates across major markets.
Since launching in 2025, EasyWin reported 25% month-over-month growth in user spending and a 4.9 average user rating. It also said it has expanded into 12 countries with localized legal opinions and payment infrastructure, received PayPal approval for its MCC, and completed payments-stack integrations with global providers.
The company also said it has obtained GLI certification “confirming compliance with U.S. regulations for skill-based gaming products.” Leshkevich said: “In the long term, we aim to become a leading global skill-based gaming platform. To achieve this, we focus on a strong product USP and new AI-based dev tools.”

Downtown Las Vegas property says the July Super Bingo will be its largest prize purse to date, with sessions on July 4-5.
Plaza Hotel & Casino will stage a $250,000 “Super Bingo” event in Las Vegas July 3-5, positioning it as a special edition tied to the nation’s 250th anniversary. The operator said the prize pool is the largest in the series’ history.
“The Plaza will be celebrating its 55th anniversary and the 250th anniversary of our great country in July, so it is only fitting that we make our Super Bingo event that month our biggest and best ever,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “Our Super Bingo events have always drawn a packed crowd to our convention space, and we anticipate the July event to sell out quickly.”
According to the Plaza, Super Bingo draws nearly 1,000 attendees, including visitors traveling from Hawaii and Canada. For the July edition, bingo-only registration is set at $250 per person for gameplay on Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5. The Plaza is also offering an optional five-night hotel package priced at $200 per person, with no resort fee, for check-in July 2 and check-out July 6.
The Plaza outlined the payout structure as 20 games paying $1,999 each day, plus a daily “super coverall” of $60,000, second place of $15,000, and third place of $10,020. The casino said prizes will be paid in cash and players must be present to win.
Outside of the special event, the Plaza said its bingo room runs six daily sessions at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and is located two floors above the main casino.
