The joint venture between SkillOnNet and Regency Entertainment has secured an operating license in the Greek market, following approval by the Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC).

This strategic move paves the way for the launch of a new online gambling platform, drawing on both companies’ extensive experience in the international iGaming market and the Greek casino market, respectively.

Through this partnership, SkillOnNet and Regency Entertainment will introduce Regency Casino Online, a next-generation digital casino experience. The platform is designed to deliver an innovative, responsible, and premium offering by combining SkillOnNet’s robust iGaming technology with Regency Entertainment’s longstanding operational excellence in casino management. The newly granted Type 2 licence from the HGC allows the venture to offer a full suite of online gambling products, including slots, live casino games, and other interactive formats to players in Greece.

SkillOnNet has an international presence in the entertainment sector, managing over 30 online casinos worldwide, including PlayOJO, BacanaPlay, and SpinGenie. The company sees strong growth potential in the Greek market and is taking a bullish position as it looks to establish a leading presence in this regulated market.

Regency Entertainment is one of Greece’s leading entertainment companies with a strong tradition, boasting a comprehensive hospitality and entertainment portfolio. This includes the iconic Regency Casino Mont Parnes in Athens and the unique hospitality and entertainment hub in Thessaloniki, comprising the Regency Casino Thessaloniki, the Hyatt Regency Hotel, and the Vergina Theatro.

Maor Nutkevitch, Senior Vice President Corporate Development at SkillOnNet, stated: “The issuance of the gambling license in Greece marks another significant step for SkillOnNet. This new market for us, combined with Regency’s extensive experience, presents our first opportunity to provide Greek players with services designed to meet their needs for the first time, consistently evolving our product, always within the Greek legislative framework, with responsibility and reliability. Furthermore, the new license underscores the company’s commitment to expanding into even more regulated gaming markets in Europe and worldwide.”

Mr. Giannis Tsirikos, CEO of Regency Entertainment, stated: “From the beginning of our strategic partnership, SkillOnNet and Regency shared a common vision: to offer an innovative entertainment experience to Greek players. The issuance of the license brings us a step closer to fulfilling this vision, through SkillOnNet’s modern and comprehensive online casino platform, which will serve as the vehicle for delivering a top-tier digital entertainment experience. An experience that reflects the quality of Regency’s land-based venues and services, and inspires the trust, transparency, and sense of safety that have allowed us to stand out in the preferences of Greek players. We are confident that our new digital product will exceed the expectations of the Greek public.”

MiFinity, the award-winning global eWallet provider, has announced the integration of PayU, one of Central and Eastern Europe’s most trusted online payment solutions, into its platform.

The new integration gives MiFinity users in Poland and the Czech Republic a popular and familiar way to fund their eWallet, improving accessibility, convenience, and confidence at the point of payment.

This move is part of MiFinity’s ongoing strategy to continuously expand its local payment offering, ensuring users can transact using the methods they know and trust. With PayU, customers in these high-growth digital markets can now make instant deposits into their MiFinity eWallet using local bank transfer options, all within a seamless and secure experience.

Paul Kavanagh, CEO of MiFinity, said: “We’re excited to add PayU to our growing list of local payment integrations – over 80 and counting. By offering trusted, regionally preferred options, we make it easier for customers to engage with their favourite digital services – and that drives real value for our merchant partners. This integration reflects our commitment to local relevance, seamless user experience, and helping merchants maximise customer acquisition and retention in these markets.”

Helping Merchants Grow by Localising the User Payment Experience

In competitive verticals like iGaming, Forex, and digital commerce, giving users familiar and trusted payment options is key to optimising conversion and customer lifetime value. MiFinity’s localisation strategy supports merchants by offering a wide range of local payment methods that make it easy for users to deposit funds into their eWallet – removing barriers at checkout, reducing drop-off, and building loyalty with users who expect payment options tailored to their geography and preferences.

The integration of PayU allows users in Poland and the Czech Republic to fund their MiFinity eWallet using their preferred local banks. This means merchants working with MiFinity can better engage customers in these high-growth markets by offering a more relevant, convenient and trusted payment experience.

Continuous Expansion, Global Vision

PayU is the latest addition to MiFinity’s 80+ integrated payment methods, and part of a wider commitment to providing the most flexible, localised payment experience on the market. MiFinity’s roadmap includes further geographic and platform expansion throughout 2025, designed to help merchants grow internationally without compromising the local experiences their users expect.

For merchants, it’s a win-win: more ways to reach and retain customers in key markets, and a partner in MiFinity who is as focused on growth and engagement as they are.
