Paysecure: Empowering growth for gaming operators

Paysecure CCO and Co-Founder Viktoriia Degtiarova speaks to Gambling Insider about how the supplier is helping to streamline payment processes, its plans for 2025 and more.

Tell us about some recent developments at Paysecure? 

Our Advanced Orchestration Engine empowers businesses to manage complex payment flows across multiple geographies. The platform has the flexibility to seamlessly optimise transaction routing, efficiency and fraud prevention. An example of this innovation is our recently introduced Alternative Payment Method (APM) routing, which streamlines payment processing and ensures smoother operations across diverse regions. The platform supports Global Payment Flows in Exotic Jurisdictions, as well as multicurrency transactions. 

We’ve significantly upgraded our Cashier Platform to support a wide range of global and local payment methods, offering client-specific solutions, while we’ve overhauled our reporting system to deliver detailed, real-time payment insights. Businesses can track transactions, monitor performance and optimise their strategies with precision. Driven by client feedback, we’ve also introduced features that have been widely praised for improving efficiency and usability. Designed for low response times and high throughput, the platform utilises a flat database structure capable of processing up to340,000 requests per second, with auto-scaling to seamlessly handle any additional demand. 

We have a vision to process one billion transactions per day. This is why our key focus is ensuring Paysecure can handle large volumes of traffic without compromising on performance. We’ve rigorously tested our system with 5,000 transactions per second in a lab environment, delivering flawless performance. 

Paysecure has been registered in the UK for about a year and a half now. How big of a step was this for the company? 

Establishing a formal presence in one of the world’s leading financial hubs positioned us to better serve a broader range of financial institutions, partners and clients across multiple jurisdictions. As we constantly refine our product offerings, the UK provided us with a solid foundation to scale our infrastructure and expand further into the European market but also into new regions. From a regulatory perspective, the UK’s stringent compliance 

requirements ensured our platform meets the highest standards of security and operational integrity. This has allowed us to strengthen our reputation and credibility with clients, reinforcing our commitment to providing a trustworthy platform. 

 

How does Paysecure help companies achieve high acceptance rates, while also helping prevent exposure to fraud? 

Our platform is designed to maximise transaction approval rates by dynamically identifying the optimal gateways or acquirers for each transaction and intelligently routing payments to the most efficient processors. This precision-driven approach reduces the risk of declines by leveraging over 100 parameters, including payment method, region, BIN number and more. Through our APMs routing, we offer local and regional payment options, so businesses can meet the preferences of their customers, further improving approval rates and reducing transaction friction. 

What do you believe will be the big trends in payments over the coming months? 

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will play an even more significant role in the payments ecosystem, particularly in fraud prevention, payment routing and customer service. AI-driven systems will become smarter at detecting and preventing real-time fraud by analysing vast datasets to uncover patterns invisible to human analysts. AI and ML will optimise payment routing, ensuring that transactions are processed through the most efficient and reliable channels, improving approval rates and reducing declines. 

 What are Paysecure’s aims for 2025? 

Our ambitious vision for 2025 centres around expanding our global footprint, enhancing our technology and providing even more value to our clients through innovative payment solutions. We aim to be a leading orchestration payment platform and cashier in iGaming, being one API to the world, covering regions with emerging economies where digital payment adoption is accelerating – like Latin America and Africa and deepen our presence in Europe and North America, building on our UK registration and regulatory compliance to offer more localised and tailored solutions. 

We will continue to invest in next-generation technologies and integrate more advanced AI-driven analytics and machine learning capabilities into our platform. The goal is to further improve payment routing, optimise transactions, prevent fraud and offer more personalised, data-driven services. Our enhanced reporting and business intelligence tools will empower merchants with real-time transaction insights and help them make more informed decisions. As global payment preferences continue to evolve, we plan to integrate a wider variety of local Alternative Payment Methods, from cryptocurrencies to QR code payments and mobile wallets or virtual IBANs. 

This flexibility across all regions will allow our clients to better serve their customers, no matter where they are or how they prefer to pay. As part of our growth strategy, Paysecure will continue to form strategic partnerships with financial institutions, fintech companies and other payments players. We are open to strategic acquisitions and partnerships that could accelerate our ability to innovate, and expand our product offerings, further enhancing our competitive edge in the market. 

We’re also thrilled to announce our presence at ICE Barcelona in January 2025 — our first official booth, located at stand 4C30. As one of the biggest events in the gaming and payments landscape, ICE is an unmissable opportunity to connect, share insights, and demonstrate first-hand how Paysecure’s technology is pushing boundaries. Join us there as we drive innovation and set new standards.
