Relog Media & Roobet Announce ‘Roobet Cup 2023’ – $250K CS:GO Tournament, Returning for a Second Year Oct. 25-Nov. 2
Relog Media, one of Europe’s top esports tournament organizers, and Roobet, the pioneering entertainment brand and one of the world’s fastest-growing crypto casinos, have partnered to bring another exciting CS:GO event – Roobet Cup 2023 from Oct. 25-Nov. 2, running back one of last year’s biggest tournaments in the sport, with another S-Tier $250,000 prize pool event.
Featuring 16 of the top CS:GO teams in the world, including Ninjas in Pyjamas, FURIA, Astralis, 2022 Roobet Cup Champions BIG, and more to be announced, the tournament will run on 16 teams in four groups with the top 2 teams from each group advancing to the playoffs. Playoffs will be a single elimination bracket, with the winner taking the hefty portion of the $250,000 prize pool.
“Roobet invests in players at every level, from pro teams to casual, because we want to give everyone the opportunity to have successful careers doing what they love,” said Anthony Brennan, Roobet Co-Founder and Head of Partnerships. “Roobet met playing games, and we get excited every time we find a new way to give back to the online community.”
The first Roobet Cup, which took place in June of 2022, featured top CS:GO teams from around the world including BIG (1st Place), FaZe Clan (2nd Place), Cloud9, 9z, Imperial Esports, Eternal Fire and more competing for the $250,000 prize pool. The tournament clocked over 1 Million unique global viewers with a combined 94 Million minutes watched.
As part of their ongoing support of the CS:GO community, in August Roobet also announced Roobet Arena, where amateur gamers compete in CS:GO tournaments for cash prizes, with over $10,000 given away monthly. Roobet also creates custom Roobet maps that are released to the community CS:GO workshop every month.
ITL says uptake is being driven by retail and amusement events and discussions with regional police forces.
E-Service is increasing UK distribution of Innovative Technology’s (ITL) age estimation and access control products, with the companies pointing to growing demand for ITL’s MyCheckr device.
The partnership between ITL and E-Service dates back to 2004, with E-Service operating as ITL’s UK Trading Partner and Approved Service Centre. ITL said the current momentum is “mainly driven by an uptake of Innovative’s MyCheckr age estimation technology.”
Andy Bullock, Senior Business Development Manager for ITL, said, “E-Service are really flying the flag for our MyCheckr device representing the brand at various UK events. The technology has become a real talking point following our recent presence at the National Convenience Show (NCS) in Birmingham and The Amusement & Retail Entertainment (ARE) in Manchester, and earlier EAG shows in London. We have jointly attended a number of regional BACTA meetings recently introducing the capabilities of MyCheckr to the gaming sector to help with compliance and player protection and we are delighted with the feedback and potential opportunities that have arisen. Plus we are in talks with regional police forces about using MyCheckr to help local convenience stores avoid fines or potential closure for selling age-restricted products to minors.”
Bullock added, “Our age verification technology is simple to operate and install. MyCheckr can be easily placed at any 18+ entrance or our other age estimation device, ICU Lite, can be fully integrated into gaming or SCO machines using a simple API. To help operators manage access we have developed MyConnect which sends alerts to staff via an app to notify them of a potential underage play or self-excluded entry which can be remotely granted or denied.”
Paul Scott, Sales Director at E-Service, said, “It’s been a pleasure working with ITL over the past years. Our relationship has always been strong, and we’ve successfully distributed their leading note validation and recycling products including the NV9 Spectral, Spectral Payout and NV22 Spectral throughout the market for several years now. ITL’s expansion into age assurance technology represents a really exciting time for us as we are delighted to be part of this journey.”

Paysafe is live on Primer’s Primer for Partners program and is already processing transactions for merchants across North America, Europe and Australasia.
Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE) has integrated with Primer, connecting to the payment orchestration platform via Primer’s no-code Primer for Partners program to provide card payment processing for online merchants using Primer globally.
The companies said the integration allows merchants on Primer to route credit and debit card transactions to Paysafe as a payment service provider. Paysafe said it is already processing payments through Primer for merchants with a presence across North America, Europe and Australasia.
Paysafe said it tailored the integration to support international merchants across industries including iGaming, social gaming, financial trading, eCommerce and travel. Primer for Partners, which Primer launched in December 2025, allowed Paysafe’s tech team to manage the integration “without the need for any coding,” according to the companies.
Rob Gatto, Chief Revenue Officer at Paysafe, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Primer, whose Primer for Partners solution empowered Paysafe to develop a bespoke integration, streamlining the payment journey for Primer’s merchant partners and their customers. We look forward to strengthening our offering within the Primer infrastructure and growing our presence across the broader payment orchestration space.”
Gabriel Le Roux, CEO and Co-founder of Primer, commented: “Paysafe joining Primer for Partners is exactly what this solution was built for. The company came to us, built its own integration from the ground up, and Paysafe is already live and processing payments for our merchants. That’s the paradigm shift we set out to create. For our merchants, having Paysafe accessible through Primer means more choice, better coverage, and faster access to a payment provider that’s been optimizing card performance for decades.”
Paysafe said it plans to expand the integration over time, including adding local payment methods such as Skrill and Neteller, plus PaysafeCard and PaysafeCash.
