iGamingGroup Explores Adding SameUSD to Its List of Cryptocurrency Payment Options

Reading Time: 3 minutes
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.

Esportes da Sorte strengthens brand presence during New Year’s Eve celebrations across four Brazilian capitals
Esportes da Sorte, one of Brazil’s leading online betting platforms, will be the official sponsor of New Year’s Eve celebrations in four Brazilian capitals: Salvador, Recife, Natal and Maceió. The initiative reinforces the brand’s growing presence in the national cultural calendar and its strategy to connect with large-scale public celebrations beyond the digital environment.
New Year’s Eve is one of Brazil’s most significant annual moments, marked by intense domestic travel, international tourism and mass public participation. By supporting celebrations in four key destinations, Esportes da Sorte aligns its brand with tradition, culture and shared experiences that resonate deeply with local communities.
“Sponsoring New Year’s Eve celebrations in four capitals reflects our commitment to being present in moments that bring people together,” said Marcela Campos, Vice President of the Esportes Gaming Brasil Group, owner of the Esportes da Sorte brand. “Supporting these cities means valuing their cultural identity, strengthening local ecosystems and celebrating the people who keep these traditions alive year after year.”
Across all four capitals, the brand will activate its presence through immersive experiences, public-facing activations and the distribution of branded giveaways — a hallmark of Esportes da Sorte’s engagement strategy at major events. The activations are designed to enhance the festive atmosphere while reinforcing the brand’s connection with culture, entertainment and responsible enjoyment.
The New Year’s Eve sponsorships build on Esportes da Sorte’s broader cultural engagement strategy, which includes long-standing support for large-scale events such as Carnatal, in Rio Grande do Norte — a key fixture in the state’s tourism and cultural calendar. Together, these initiatives reflect the company’s commitment to expanding its footprint in cultural sponsorships nationwide.
Esportes da Sorte’s participation also mirrors a wider trend within Brazil’s regulated betting market, as operators increasingly diversify their sponsorship portfolios beyond football. Music, festivals and cultural celebrations have become strategic platforms for brands seeking broader visibility, deeper community ties and more sustainable engagement with the public.
