MiFinity and CashtoCode announce payments partnership
CashtoCode, the instant cash payment service for online merchants, and MiFinity, the secure iGaming ewallet, today announced a new global payments partnership. MiFinity users can now top up their iGaming accounts at more than 150,000 physical locations worldwide using the CashtoCode cash deposit network, as well as using CashtoCode’s new online evoucher product.
This is the first time that MiFinity customers will be able to make payments with cash, which many customers prefer for privacy, security and self-control reasons. For CashtoCode, the partnership with MiFinity puts its service inside one of the fastest growing iGaming eWallets. Meanwhile, MiFinity chose to partner with CashtoCode for its global reach, with more than 150,000 retail locations across Europe and international markets such as Africa and Australia. Its evoucher solution is also extremely popular in regions where iGaming customers cannot easily make payments such as LATAM and Asia – where they can be redeemed instantly online like any traditional retail voucher code.
The two companies are also a good match on important issues such as security. MiFinity is highly regarded in the global iGaming community for secure virtual payment processing, and it set a high bar on security standards when searching for a cash deposit partner. In CashtoCode, it found a service designed to eliminate fraud and money laundering concerns through a unique closed-loop cash payment system. Its cash deposit codes cannot be transferred by users, meaning they are far more secure and lower risk for iGaming operators.
“CashtoCode has grown remarkably over the last 12 months, and working now with MiFinity will ensure even more iGaming customers will access our range of cash and online payment services,” said CashtoCode CEO, Jens Bader. “Cash remains the most widely used and widely accepted form of payment around the world, and all leading iGaming operators are considering the best ways of adding cash to their payment portfolios. By working with brands like MiFinity, we hope to become the number one cash deposit method of choice for all operators in the years ahead.”
“We wanted to add a cash deposit option for our users and CashtoCode was immediately identified as the best fit for our needs,” said MiFinity CEO Paul Kavanagh. “We are known in the iGaming industry for safe, secure and smart payment services, and it was important that any new payment partner fulfilled the same criteria. The CashtoCode service is proven to be extremely popular and effective, and we see it as a unique value proposition in the market. I’m confident that we can build a successful and sustainable partnership with the team, that will benefit our customers and operators alike.”

Spillemyndigheden Calls Attention to FATF’s Updated Lists of High-risk Jurisdictions
The Danish Gambling Authority has called attention to FATF’s (Financial Action Task Force) updated lists of high-risk jurisdictions: the Grey List (jurisdictions under increased monitoring) and Black List (call for actions). Among other things, gambling operators must include FATF’s lists of high-risk jurisdictions when risk assessing players.
Jurisdictions listed on the Grey List are Algeria, Angola, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Ivory Coast, Croatia, DR Congo, Haiti, Kenya, Lebanon, Mali, Monaco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, the Philippines, South Africa, South Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Venezuela, Vietnam and Yemen.
Jurisdictions listed on the Black List are Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Iran and Myanmar.
Gambling operators are required to conduct enhanced customer due diligence (EDD) pursuant to section 17(1) of the Danish AML Act, if a player is assessed to impose a higher risk of the gambling operator being misused for money laundering or terrorist financing.
Gambling operators shall conduct this risk assessment based on Annex 3 to the AML Act (high-risk factors) which includes the FATF high-risk country lists (the so called black list and grey list).
It is not required that gambling operators perform EDD if a country is listed on the FATF’s list. EDD are only a requirement for players from jurisdictions listed in the EU Regulation of High Risk Third Country list pursuant to 17(2) of the AML Act.
