MiFinity, the award-winning global eWallet provider, has announced the integration of Google Wallet into its payments ecosystem, enabling Android customers to fund their MiFinity accounts instantly using one of the world’s most trusted and widely adopted payment methods.

This latest integration is part of MiFinity’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the user experience by offering more convenient and flexible ways to fund accounts. It’s a strategic move to meet growing consumer demand for frictionless digital payments, while initially launched within the MiFinity app, this will ultimately help MiFinity’s merchant partners boost conversion, increase deposit success rates, and reduce transaction abandonment. This will be enhanced with a full iFrame and desktop browser rollout planned for the near future.

Sharing his thoughts on the launch, MiFinity CEO Paul Kavanagh said: “The integration of Google Wallet is another important step in our mission to streamline digital payments. Our customers expect fast, secure, and seamless experiences – and now they can enjoy all the benefits of Google Wallet directly within the MiFinity platform. It’s a great addition that aligns with our strategy of putting customers first while supporting our partners in driving revenue and loyalty.”

Key advantages of Google Wallet for MiFinity customers include:

  • Faster transactions – Near-instant deposits ensure customers can fund their accounts at the moment of intent.
  • Frictionless UX – No more typing in card details – just a tap on a Face ID or Touch ID-enabled device.
  • Enterprise-grade security – Google Wallet’s encryption and biometric authentication add another layer to MiFinity’s multi-tiered security stack.
  • User confidence – With over 150 million monthly active users globally, Google Wallet is a familiar and trusted payment method that enhances consumer confidence at the point of deposit.
  • More choice – Customers can fund their MiFinity account using debit or credit cards already linked to their Google Wallet, expanding payment flexibility.

With Google Wallet now live, MiFinity customers can deposit funds without re-entering card details or switching between services – a key differentiator in high-stakes environments like iGaming and Forex trading, where speed and ease of funding are critical to user satisfaction.

Google Wallet joins MiFinity’s growing portfolio of 80+ integrated local payment methods, including Apple Pay, eVouchers, bank transfers, and local payment options. This positions MiFinity as a go-to partner for merchants looking to expand globally while offering localised, trusted, and high-performing payment options.

Whether you’re an operator in iGaming, a broker in Forex, or a brand in the digital services sector, MiFinity’s ever-evolving payments platform is designed to help you meet user expectations, grow international reach, and optimise the checkout experience.

Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, has partnered with StarLadder, a pioneering tournament organiser. The Budapest Major 2025 marks a highly anticipated comeback for StarLadder, as it is their first Counter-Strike Major since 2019 and a significant return to the top-tier esports arena.

As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event. This will empower organisers, teams, sponsors and fans with unparalleled transparency and a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.

Artyom Odintsov, Co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts, said: “We are thrilled and proud to provide viewership analytics for StarLadder for the Budapest Major 2025. Since both Esports Charts and StarLadder are Ukraine-born companies, we share similar values and deal with similar challenges, which brings us even closer.

“It’s genuinely exciting to follow how viewership will develop at this Major. But knowing the expertise, drive, and passion that the organizers are bringing, I have no doubt we’ll witness some incredible things happen in Budapest.

“Esports Charts has always been driven by a mission to provide the esports community with accurate, actionable data, and we look forward to showcasing the impact and audience engagement of this world-class event.”

StarLadder has been a driving force in global esports for almost 15 years now, since hosting its first tournaments in 2011. Renowned for its innovation and reliability, the company has organised some of the industry’s most iconic events. These include the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019, which accumulated over 44 million hours watched and remains in the top 10 CS events by this metric, and the legendary StarSeries tournaments which started back in 2012.

Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Sales and Partnerships at StarLadder, said: “We’ve been working with Esports Charts since their founding and have always valued their professionalism and integrity. In a market where reliable data is essential, Esports Charts provides honest, transparent numbers, exactly the kind of insights sponsors and stakeholders rely on when assessing the potential reach of a World Championship event.

“We’re confident that this partnership will result in a high-quality analysis of our tournament’s performance and the audience data we’ll report to our partners. It’s a collaboration built on trust, shared values, and a deep understanding of what it takes to elevate esports to the next level.”

The Starladder Budapest Major 2025 will be held from November 24 to December 14 in Budapest, Hungary. The event will bring together the world’s top 32 Counter-Strike 2 teams to compete for a $1.25 million prize pool and one of the most prestigious titles in esports.
