Reading Time: 2 minutes
Paysecure, a leading provider of payment orchestration solutions for the iGaming industry, successfully hosted its exclusive event Securing Faster Payments in iGaming aboard the Sunborn Hotel in Gibraltar on 16th October.
The evening brought together senior figures from operators, technology providers, and payment networks to explore the evolution of faster, more secure payment experiences in iGaming, and what lies ahead for the sector.
With speakers from Worldpay, Mastercard, DAZN, Pretty Technical, and Paysecure, discussions centred around balancing player experience, security, and compliance in a rapidly changing landscape.
Across keynote talks and a healthy panel debate, speakers explored how technology, data, and collaboration are reshaping the future of payments in iGaming.
A recurring theme was the tension between speed and security, and how advances such as network tokenisation and smarter orchestration are allowing operators to achieve both. Attendees heard how network tokens are improving authorisation rates and trust, while also fuelling new payment experiences, such as click-to-pay, which in turn reduces cashier friction and provides a seamless player journey.
The discussion also delved into how player-centric design, behavioural analytics and the latest technological innovations are transforming the deposit journey. With more than 30% of players abandoning deposits due to checkout friction, speakers shared insights on how to define and build dynamic payment experiences, utilizing customer segmentation, intelligent routing, and rich data-insights; and further reflected on the importance of ecosystem connectivity for pushing the industry forward.
It is clear from the discussions that payments are no longer a utility, but a point of competitive advantage for operators. Payments remain a pivotal conversion moment, and a lot hinges on the experience, with players expecting to pay quickly and efficiently how, when and where they want.
Paysecure’s Chief Commercial Officer and Co-Founder, Viktoriia Degtiarova, emphasised the importance of collaboration in raising industry standards: “The Paysecure Payment Professionals event really highlighted how critical payments are to operator success. In today’s fast-moving iGaming landscape, continual innovation in payment solutions isn’t optional, it’s essential. Success relies on collaboration across the entire ecosystem, from operators and PSPs to regulators and technology partners, ensuring seamless experiences for players while driving growth for all stakeholders.”
Farish Lakhani, Corporate Sales Director at Worldpay Global SMB further shared, “Thank you to Paysecure for hosting such a well-organised event in Gibraltar and for inviting us to be part of the conversation. It was a great opportunity to share insights and collaborate on shaping the future of payments in iGaming”.
Following the success of the Gibraltar event, Paysecure Payment Professionals – The iGaming Edition will continue across other key iGaming hubs in 2026, building on the discussions and relationships formed at this inaugural event.

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.

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has given gaming affiliates, developers and support service providers until early 2026 to comply with its newly implemented B2B Accreditation Framework, a regulatory system that formalises participation in the iGaming supply chain.
Companies that submit applications by December 31, 2025, will qualify for a three-year initial accreditation, while unaccredited foreign content providers face removal from licensed platforms after March 31, 2026.
The framework, which took effect on October 2, sets mandatory accreditation requirements for all third-party entities providing gaming content, systems or technical support to PAGCOR-licensed operators.
Accreditation covers several categories, including gaming affiliates, game content providers (GCPs) and support service providers (SSPs). Gaming affiliates may act as aggregators that distribute multiple game titles to operators, while GCPs are developers or studios supplying electronic game software or live-streamed content.
Accreditation is valid for two years from the date of PAGCOR Board approval, an increase from the previous one-year term.
Foreign data or content streaming providers that fail to secure accreditation by the March 2026 deadline will have their content deemed “non-compliant and unauthorized.” They may appoint a Philippine-registered company or a PAGCOR-accredited Gaming System Administrator as their exclusive distributor instead of setting up a local office.
PAGCOR has warned that licensed operators using unaccredited service providers may face sanctions.
