iGamingGroup Explores Adding SameUSD to Its List of Cryptocurrency Payment Options


When cryptocurrencies proved to be a viable payment option, everyone was thrilled because of this blockchain technology. Talk about the speed of transactions, privacy, global reach, and the promise of hack-proof payment solutions.
However, as most of us have come to realize, it has been a bumpy ride for cryptocurrency payment providers with several reports of hacks, fluctuating prices, and regulatory restrictions. What could settle our fears and restore the confidence we once had in cryptocurrency payments? Online gaming platforms such as casinos are on the lookout for a solution that guarantees players gaming satisfaction for a secure and faster experience while also optimizing the casino’s operations.
Samecoin, a new entrant into the cryptocurrency space, seems to have all the solutions that online gaming platforms have been gunning for. The Samecoin ecosystem – which consists of a utility coin (Samecoin), stablecoins (SameUSD, SameEUR, etc) as well as the SameID and SamePay – has been endorsed by iGamingGroup as it explores integrating Samecoin ecosystem and its SameUSD as a cryptocurrency payment service provider of choice.
What is iGaming Group, and what does their endorsement say about Samecoin?
iGamingGroup Endorses Samecoin
Touted as the ultimate iGaming technology stack provider, iGamingGroup is the one-stop-shop for all online gaming systems. The group boasts of high-end clients such as Evolution Gaming, Netent, BetSoft, Rela Gaming, Play n Go, and ORYX Gaming.
To date, the iGaming giant has helped develop 7000 games through advanced ready-to-deploy industry solutions while focusing on modern human-centered interfaces that are innovated and scaled to client’s demands.
iGG has been offering cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ripple, Dogecoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin as part of its vast payment options plans. The need to provide a faster and less costly transaction is what drove it towards Samecoin.
According to the company’s website, iGamingGroup is always looking to make deposits and withdrawals safer, easier and faster to satisfy casino players and owners. This makes perfect sense as to why the company would opt to endorse the Samecoin ecosystem.
The iGaming technology provider supports over 30 payment systems accepted globally, representing more than 150 payment options. Samecoin promises to be a worthy addition to iGG’s goal and mission.
Payment Solutions Designed For Online Gambling
Samecoin’s payment solution, SamePay, provides cryptocurrency payment solutions with stablecoins and secure SameID logins. The easy-to-integrate innovative payment solution makes for a smooth operating experience for both the owner and players.
The Samecoin system will integrate well with iGaming’s SSL encryption used for online banking, thus providing online gambling with the highest security. The ecosystem, which includes SameID and SamePay, fits well with iGG’s Know-Your-Customer and Anti-Money-Laundering procedures.
Samecoin’s stablecoins, the SameUSD and SameEuro, aim to eliminate cryptos’ fluctuating prices, which has discouraged many online casino players. These coins’ ability to mimic fiat currencies’ stability and simplicity while retaining the advantages of cryptos makes them perfect for online casinos.
Features that Make Samecoin Perfect for Online Casinos
Besides the stability and security of value provided by Samecoin’s family of stablecoins, the ecosystem also features the SameID and SamePay tools that are invaluable to online casinos.
SameID in Online Casinos
SameID is an easily integrated user identification feature that eliminates the need for online casino players to use their personal information. Although users of SameID have to undergo the KYC procedure, the process is faster than before, thus saving time and costs spent on costlier KYC procedures.
While using the SameID, the users’ verification process can be done through:
· Facial recognition selfie identification.
· Passport or ID card.
· Utility bill.
SamePay for Online Casinos Cryptocurrency Payments
SamePay integration simplifies the way players receive and send cryptocurrencies in online casinos. Whether it is SameUSD, Bitcoin, Litecoin, or Ethereum, SamePay will serve you well.
SamePay works with wallets for each crypto that casino players will be using. Even better, SameID also applies here; this ensures one account gives a user complete control of their cryptos while sealing any security loopholes.
Casino operators integrating SamePay can also enable SameID logins to solve any KYC problems that players might encounter when onboarding. It will only take 5 seconds for casino players using the SamePay payment option to get verified. What’s more, SamePay secures the players’ data by only sending the necessary data to casinos when SamePay users register through SameID. No personal data is ever given out.
Since SamePay users will have complied with the KYC procedure when registering through SameID, operators will receive verified players. This will save time and provide much-needed operational efficiencies – something iGamingGroup wants to take full advantage of.
The SamePay’s simple operational framework to both casino owners and the adoption-friendly interface with low crypto transaction costs will help grow a casino’s customer base and improve brand growth.

Thunderkick expands popular franchise with Midas Golden Touch 3
Studio unveils Power Recharge and Retrigger Boost mechanics to enhance bonus round
Independent slots studio Thunderkick has launched Midas Golden Touch 3, the latest addition to its successful series that elevates gameplay to new heights with fresh features and greater player control.
The famous King Midas graces the opulent reels once more, where between one and five wilds on a payline boost wins with multipliers from 2x up to 32x. The Gift of Midas feature also returns in the base game, randomly distributing one to five wilds or scatters across the reels.
Similarly to its predecessors, landing three or more scatters in the new release activates the bonus round, this time with five free spins. However, in the third instalment, the number of triggering scatters determines the starting Epic Wild Multiplier: three, four, or five award a 2x, 5x or 10x base multiplier respectively.
Thunderkick has revamped the bonus round with an all-new Power Recharge mechanic, which is activated at the end of every respin sequence, increasing the Epic Wild Multiplier by 1x and adding two extra spins to the meter.
The studio has also introduced a Retrigger Boost, which resets the number of free spins to five and increases the Epic Wild Multiplier by between 3x and 8x when three to five additional scatters land, unlocking 15,000x win potential.
Thunderkick has continued to align with a trend toward heightened player control within gameplay, with the integration of six bonus buy and ante bet options catering to a variety of playstyles and further refining the user experience.
Johannes Polbring, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: “It has been over half a decade since we launched the original Midas Golden Touch, and the brand has continued to resonate with players across the globe since.
“Our goal was to push the boundaries with Midas Golden Touch 3 to make it the most entertaining release to date. By introducing two distinct ways to build the Epic Wild Multiplier, we have delivered a game that harnesses the popular aspects of the franchise while introducing refreshed gameplay to appeal to both new and existing players.”

WATERHOUSE VC SECURES OPTION IN MAINCARD, THE “SHOPIFY OF ONLINE BETTING”
Waterhouse VC, an investment fund specialising in the technology layer of the global gambling industry, has secured an option in Maincard, a “Shopify of Online Betting” platform targeting the launch of fully customisable licensed online betting sites in under 30 minutes.
Maincard targets the $1 trillion iGaming market by replacing months of development work, cumbersome licensing and complex integrations with a subscription-style workflow. Crypto-native founders, influencers and digital communities can spin up branded betting sites, monetise their audiences and retain full upside ownership from day one.
“iGaming still suffers from high startup costs and significant technical and regulatory friction,” said Tom Waterhouse, Chief Investment Officer of Waterhouse VC. “We’re seeing strong potential in platforms that can streamline development, similar to how Shopify revolutionised e-commerce. The sector is ripe for innovation that allows new entrants to focus on player acquisition and retention rather than backend development.”
“Waterhouse VC’s deep domain knowledge and network will accelerate our go-to-market,” said Valerii Makovetskii, Founder and CEO of Maincard. “We’ve developed strong technical foundations with our crypto-friendly payments gateway already powering third-party casinos. The next step is to make launching a betting site as easy as launching an online storefront.”
The investment aligns with Waterhouse VC’s approach of identifying promising B2B technology companies serving the wagering industry and negotiating options to acquire stakes in these businesses.
Maincard platform vision:
- Launch in <30 minutes — drag-and-drop, no code required
- End-to-end compliance — licensing, KYC/AML, fraud, payments, customer support and marketing handled by Maincard
- 15,000+ casino games & 1,000+ sportsbook markets out of the box
Maincard is currently raising USD $3M to scale its sales team and launch multiple brands from the waiting list by the end of Q3 2025.
