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.
