Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

TrueLayer, Europe’s leading open banking platform, announced its collaboration with Aspire Global, a B2B provider of iGaming solutions. Aspire Global has now implemented TrueLayer Payments, initially focused on its 50 UK brands. The partnership will also extend to cover Aspire Global’s key European markets over time.

For more than 15 years, Aspire Global has been delivering comprehensive and robust solutions for iGaming operators. With a reputation for embracing innovation and technological excellence, and recognising the opportunity to further enhance the players experience, it wanted to evolve its offering to include instant payments powered by open banking. Beyond secure, instant deposits, Aspire was also determined to offer its customers faster withdrawals.

TrueLayer is addressing these points delivering a more cost-effective, frictionless and secure Payments platform for Aspire, built on open banking and the fastest available bank payment rails. With payments powered by TrueLayer players can top up their accounts in seconds, removing the need to manually enter card details or share their bank credentials.

Verified account details are associated with each player, enabling Aspire to provide instant withdrawals back into the same account used for the deposit with a simple API call. As a result, Aspire Global will spend less time managing failed payment queries that can lead to player churn.

Unlike other providers, TrueLayer’s integration is white labelled using the operator brand and the player’s chosen bank, rather than a third party brand, increasing player trust in the method as the operator owns the end-to-end payment process.

“Open banking is creating an opportunity for the industry to embrace innovation and we have recognised the role it can play in increasing brand trust and player retention. The partnership with TrueLayer is another step in Aspire Global’s strategy to deliver the best payment experiences to our players” commented Gil Tal,  Head of Ecommerce & Payments at Aspire Global.

Roberto Villani, Head of iGaming at TrueLayer, added: “iGaming operators are looking to reduce friction and high fees,  as well as failure rates and chargebacks. TrueLayer offers a more efficient and cost-effective option through account to account payments delivered by open banking. We have gone further to offer operators instant account funding and instant payouts for players. We’re delighted to be working with the Aspire Global team to create a better player experience for its customers.”

Elantil, the pioneering platform solutions provider that’s steadily redefining relationships between operators and suppliers, has announced it has formed a new partnership with RubyPlay that will further extend the range of casino titles available in its online marketplace.

Celebrated for its game’s immersive themes and innovative bonus features, RubyPlay has been recognised across the industry with several notable awards, including FTN Game of the Year for its Mad Hit® Olympic First slot and Favourite Casino Company at the 2023 B.F.T.H Arena Awards.

Fully licensed and regulated in a number of key iGaming jurisdictions across the globe, RubyPlay has consistently raised the bar in terms of what’s possible from an online video slot by introducing a number of ground-breaking game mechanics such as the ever-popular Immortal Ways®, Giga Match® and Go High®.

With this in mind, the provider is certain to be a hugely popular addition to Elantil’s Marketplace and will now be available to all operators via a simple one-click integration, with Elantil giving operators the freedom to contact RubyPlay directly and form the terms of their own agreements.

As this effectively cuts out the middleman and ensures that no extra costs are ever charged on Elantil’s side, operators are given complete control over the length and conditions of their contract and need only enter their login details in the marketplace to enjoy a speedy, hassle-free set-up.

The new partnership will therefore enable Elanti’s operators to quickly integrate and roll out over 100 thrilling casino titles on their platforms, with this further increasing the choice available via Elantil’s Marketplace while also ensuring that RubyPlay’s content reaches more players worldwide.

John Debono, Chief Technical Officer at Elantil, said: “Since launching Elantil’s Marketplace, we’ve steadily set about building a first-class collection of casino content that’s easily accessible to operators via a simple one-click integration – and the addition of RubyPlay games will certainly strengthen our offering further. Known for their engaging titles and innovative bonus mechanics, we’re sure RubyPlay will prove to be a popular software partner for Elantil’s operators going forward.”

Dr. Eyal Loz, Chief Product Officer at RubyPlay, said: “Much like Elantil, RubyPlay is a company that’s always strived to disrupt the industry through its creative ideas and cutting-edge innovation, so we couldn’t think of a better partner to be teaming up with. Being integrated into Elantil’s Marketplace will ensure that our content is put in front of an even wider audience and we’re really looking forward to supporting their operators.”
