GiG selects Paysafe as strategic payment provider for global operators integrating its leading CoreX B2B iGaming solution

Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), a global payments platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Gaming Innovation Group or “GiG” (First North: GIG SDB), a leading B2B iGaming technology company. Under the agreement, Paysafe becomes the GiG-endorsed payments platform for all UK, continental European, North American and Latin American operators integrating its market-leading CoreX solution.

Launched by GiG in January, CoreX is an AI-driven player account management (PAM) platform serving online casino and sports-betting brands, giving operators the flexibility to localize their operations to any regulated jurisdiction. GiG’s global reach will be further strengthened by integrating the highly robust processing capabilities of Paysafe’s local payment methods (LPMs).

Whether an operator is focused on the mature UK market or the evolving US or South American sports-betting spaces, GiG’s technology is complemented by connectivity to the Paysafe Gateway, supporting seamless debit or credit card transactions plus Paysafe’s suite of LPMs, including its Skrill and NETELLER digital wallets and paysafecard and Paysafecash eCash solutions. Beyond Paysafe’s own LPMs, the Gateway also enables access to 30+ third-party LPMs, including solutions with high brand-recognition in specific markets.

Aligned with GiG’s own ethos of agility, the Paysafe Gateway provides all operators with the flexibility to add new LPMs according to market needs and evolving player payment preferences.

“We’re delighted to partner with Gaming Innovation Group, which is one of the gaming industry’s true innovators when it comes to player account management platforms,” said Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe. “With the global regulated iGaming space increasingly complex, we share GiG’s philosophy of providing operators with the ability to adapt their operations to each unique market while remaining nimble. Together, we look forward to giving our mutual operator partners a competitive edge to support their growth in new and existing markets.”

James Coxon, Chief Operating Officer at Gaming Innovation Group, commented: “Partnering with Paysafe marks another important step forward in ensuring that our operators have access to the most
seamless, flexible, and secure payment solutions available on the market, tailored to their specific market needs. As we continue to expand globally, leading innovation throughout the industry with our iGaming platform and sportsbook solution, Paysafe’s extensive payment capabilities provide the reliability and adaptability that align with our vision of delivering opportunities for growth.”

Coxon added, “This collaboration further strengthens what we can offer, providing more evidence of our commitment to empowering our partners’ success in an increasingly competitive and complex iGaming landscape.”

Paysafe will be exhibiting at Booth #3809 of the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas from October 7th to 9th.

FBM Digital Systems (FBMDS), a leader in iGaming innovation, and FBM Foundation are joining forces to host a special solidarity initiative linked to the Ronaldinho Crash game by FBMDS at this year’s Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas. From October 8th to 10th, visitors to booth 2848 will have the opportunity to participate in a Keepy-Uppy Challenge, designed to give back to communities in need while promoting the spirit of solidarity.

The initiative invites attendees to show off their soccer skills in a simple but meaningful way: for every successful keepy-uppy (juggle) a participant completes on the newest Ronaldinho Crash game, the FBM Foundation will donate $1 to support vulnerable communities around the world. These donations are going to be made to individuals affected by natural disasters, children in need of educational resources, and other vulnerable groups.

This is FBM Foundation’s first ever participation at an international casino gaming trade-show and the choice of G2E Las Vegas to make its debut was not random. Choosing a stage like the Global Gaming Expo was the right move to showcase the Group’s will to make a difference in the world, sharing its solidarity footprint with a broader, diverse audience of casino gaming enthusiasts, casino operators, players and industry professionals.

“We believe in the power of coming together for a greater purpose,” says Renato Almeida, Director of FBM®️ Group. “This initiative not only highlights the team-building spirit that defines FBMDS, but it also allows us to showcase the work of the FBM Foundation and our commitment to making a positive impact on the world with the help of G2E Las Vegas.”

FBM Foundation has long been dedicated to supporting causes that promote education, community development, and relief efforts for those impacted by crises in the Philippines, Brazil and beyond. “Through this keepy-uppy challenge, FBMDS and FBM Foundation aim to inspire action and demonstrate how collective efforts—whether on the field or off—can make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most”, shares FBM Foundation’s representative, Vítor Francisco.

The Ronaldinho Crash game is one of FBMDS’ latest product releases, featuring the global football legend Ronaldinho Gaúcho on a thrilling keepy-uppy crash gaming experience. The game, which was officially launched during the American Cup and will be available to try at the fair, is already winning over crowds in multiple countries around the globe.

In addition to Ronaldinho Crash, visitors to G2E Las Vegas 2024 will be able to experience for the first time the new Infinity Series video bingo line and the new Sapphire Fever bingo, the new Safe Blaster slot game, as well as the popular Champion Tales crash game, the famous Top+Plus table games collection and much more.

Attendees at G2E Las Vegas 2024 are encouraged to stop by booth 2848, take part in the challenge, and help support the initiative between FBMDS and FBM Foundation. Whether you’re an expert juggler or simply want to get involved, every attempt counts towards the greater goal of raising funds for global causes.
