OKTO Expands Payment Capabilities in Mexico with Direct Card Deposits
OKTO, the next-gen Payment Service Provider, has officially launched its direct card in solution in Mexico, marking another milestone in its mission to deliver orchestrated payment experiences across Latin America. The new service is seamlessly connected to Mexico’s local payment rails, enabling real-time card deposits that are fully aligned with the country’s financial infrastructure.
This launch forms part of OKTO’s Orchestrated Pay-ins and Payouts strategy, designed to simplify and optimize every stage of the payment journey for merchants and users. With card payments representing more than 25% of Mexico’s iGaming audience, the solution provides operators with direct access to a major segment of players who rely on the convenience, familiarity, and trust of card-based deposits.
By integrating directly with licensed local acquirers, OKTO removes unnecessary intermediaries, giving merchants greater control over their payment flows, more competitive pricing structures, and strengthened fraud management. This direct connection results in faster processing times, higher approval rates, and a smoother experience that meets the expectations of both operators and players in a rapidly expanding market.
Momentum is already building, with five merchants preparing to go live on the platform. This early adoption highlights the strong demand for localized, compliant, and frictionless payment solutions within Mexico’s iGaming ecosystem. The card in service complements the existing SPEI in and out local payment options available through the OKTO platform, further enhancing the breadth of payment capabilities for merchants in the region.
Following the successful rollout of real-time account-to-account payments in Peru last month, OKTO continues to expand its footprint across Latin America with solutions tailored to each market’s regulatory and consumer landscape. The launch in Mexico reinforces OKTO’s commitment to empowering merchants with payment services that drive conversion, efficiency, and sustainable growth.
“Mexico represents a key market in OKTO’s Latin American expansion strategy. Our direct card-in solution directly addresses the needs of a significant portion of iGaming users who continue to prefer card payments, combining this familiarity with the speed, reliability, and control of OKTO’s payment gateway. By integrating with Mexico’s local acquiring network, we help merchants reduce costs, increase approval rates, and deliver the fast, seamless deposit experience that players expect from trusted, high-performing brands,” said Thomas Georgopoulos, COO at OKTO.

Atucha Strategic Advisory
LatAm industry pioneer Ramiro Atucha launches Atucha Strategic Advisory
Recognised entrepreneur and industry leader Ramiro Atucha has officially launched Atucha Strategic Advisory, a consultancy focused on providing strategic insight and business development support to a hand-picked portfolio of companies in the global gaming and technology sectors.
Atucha Strategic Advisory opens a new chapter in Atucha’s distinguished 20-year iGaming career, during which he was instrumental in shaping notable brands such as Leander Games and, most recently, Vibra Gaming, where he served as CEO until earlier this year. Before moving into the gaming space, Atucha was CEO of Ixone Studios, a software and digital identity firm based in Argentina, providing services to the U.S. market.
The advisory will initially focus on the LatAm market, but will not be limited to this region in the future. Atucha will closely collaborate with founders and leadership teams where his experience can deliver value across areas such as strategic alignment, market entry, corporate structure, and product positioning.
“Over the years, I’ve become increasingly passionate about those strategic conversations that define a company’s direction,” said Atucha. “Whether it’s expanding into new markets, refining corporate structures, or ensuring the right people are in the right roles – these are the challenges that create long-term success. My goal is to share the experience that only time in the field can bring with a select few businesses that inspire me and where I can truly make a difference. The lessons learned, the perspective earned, and a deep respect for what it takes to build something that lasts are at the heart of my advisory.”
Atucha is a unique executive that has successfully operated on both sides of the global market – leading regulated ventures in Europe and the U.S. with Leander Games, and in Latin America with Vibra Gaming.
Later this month, Atucha will announce the first companies joining his advisory portfolio and reveal more details about the partnerships inspiring this new phase.
