CashGenic, the cash automation solution from Innovative Technology, was launched in May 2020 as an affordable solution for those customers wanting to pay by cash safely and hygienically and to enable businesses to adhere to social distancing measures. The solution is a compact, all-in-one counter-top device ensuring easy customer access, with pay-in and pay-out managed by staff via a mobile tablet device with no software integration required.

Commenting on the first UK CashGenic success story, Andy Bullock, Senior Business Development Manager said, “Our first installation was completed in partnership with our UK supplier CC Dynamic (branded as £XCHEKKA) and installed by Maggi Electronics at a local fish and chip shop, The Top Chippy in Manchester, North West England. The owners are delighted with the results as it has removed the need for staff to manage cash, allowing them to use their time more efficiency. Helping them to follow social distancing advice is another positive effect.” Chris Woodall, Managing Director of CC Dynamic said, “The Top Chippy are really pleased with the unit especially as staff do not need to keep changing gloves or washing hands when taking cash. They are also seeing an uptake in cash takings which is great news! We are now an approved strategic supplier for the National Federation of Fish Friers, so will be collaborating with them to introduce £XCHEKKAinto more outlets up and down the country.”

In the first Spanish install toy shop staff are saving 30 minutes a day counting cash by using Cashgenic.

Antonio Rodriguez, Business Development Manager for ITL Spain said, “Our first Spanish install was at EurekaKids in Barcelona. The toy shop is utilising CashGenic to eliminate the need for staff to handle cash and was installed at the beginning of July.   The shop is finding a number of benefits, but the key advantage is the significant reduction in time counting cash, saving them around half an hour a day. Also, they have seen a big reduction in the number of times they have to go to the bank for change per week.”

Mireia Cairó,manager & owner of the toy shop commented, “Not only is CashGenic being well received by our customers who have accepted the new machine very quickly, it is also benefiting our employees who are happy to spend less time ensuring an accurate cash balance at the end of each day or when there is a changeover of staff.”

CashGenic is also being utilised in butchers in Germany, with the first install having started at Peter Raabe in Pinneberg.

Thorsten Labusch, VP of Sales & Business Development in Germany commented, “In a recent customer survey conducted bythe butchery Peter Raabewe have seen that customers like to pay with cash and want to pay with cash.They found that 78% of customers pay with cash and more than half thought that separating the goods and money handling made sense from a hygiene point of view.  They are pleased with customer feedback with 86% finding CashGenic easy to use.”

Peter Raabesaid: “As well as the hygienic benefits CashGenic can bring we can really see the added value because it releases the staff from money counting so they can use the time more productively serving customers.”

ITL are working with organisations across many vertical sectors throughout the whole of Europe showing how CashGenic can protect staff, customers and payments.

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus

DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.

The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.

If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.

Google-style campus for game development talents

The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.

It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.

“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.

 

What does this mean for the market?

Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.

If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.

And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

MLB Players Inc., a commercial affiliate of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and OneTeam Partners announced they’ve reached a licensing agreement with PENN Entertainment.

The agreement designates PENN’s sports betting platforms – ESPN BET in the U.S. and theScore BET in Canada – as Officially Licensed Sportsbooks of MLBPI.

PENN now has the rights to use MLB player names, images and likenesses on its sports betting platforms, marketing assets and promotional campaigns.

The deal also includes PENN’s retail sportsbook operations (32 retail sportsbooks at its casino properties, including 19 under the ESPN BET brand).

Last fall, FanDuel and MLBPI reached a similar licensing agreement after the MLB players’ union sued FanDuel and Underdog Fantasy in New York Supreme Court, accusing them of using the names and likeness of ballplayers on their players without permission.

”As baseball season gets underway, we’re excited to offer fans an enhanced betting experience that includes player likenesses, expanded wagering options and a more dynamic product. Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.

OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.

“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.
