GR8 Tech has entered a new partnership with Cryptopay to enhance its platform with expanded cryptocurrency payment functionality, giving operators additional flexibility in how they process player transactions.
The integration enables GR8 Tech clients to accept and manage crypto payments through Cryptopay’s established infrastructure, which spans both B2C and B2B payment flows developed over more than a decade.
Crypto Payments Designed to Improve Conversion and Flexibility
The collaboration aims to reduce friction in deposits and withdrawals by offering players an additional payment option, particularly in markets where crypto adoption is growing.
Olga Karablina, Chief Payment Gateway Officer at GR8 Tech, said payment experience plays a critical role in player retention and engagement.
“Payments are the moment an operator either keeps a player or doesn’t,” Karablina said. “Cryptopay has spent over a decade making crypto transactions reliable at scale.”
Integration Across Hyper Turnkey and Crypto Turnkey Solutions
Cryptopay’s services will be integrated across GR8 Tech’s platform suite, including both Hyper Turnkey and Crypto Turnkey offerings.
For Hyper Turnkey operators, the integration introduces crypto payments within a primarily fiat-based system. For Crypto Turnkey partners, it adds an additional processing layer designed to enhance transaction efficiency and scalability.
Reported Gains in Conversion and Transaction Efficiency
According to GR8 Tech, its Crypto Turnkey solution has demonstrated strong performance metrics, including:
- 1.6x higher deposit conversion
- Up to 3x lower transaction costs compared to fiat systems
- 2.5x faster withdrawal processing
These improvements are positioned as key advantages for operators looking to optimise payment performance and reduce operational costs.
Strengthening Platform Strategy Ahead of Major Sporting Events
The partnership is part of GR8 Tech’s broader platform development roadmap, which includes upgrades to crypto functionality and VIP features ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a period expected to generate significant betting activity worldwide.
Expanding Payment Choice for Operators and Players
Arthur Ribakovs, Head of Partnerships at Cryptopay, said the collaboration is aimed at improving flexibility and efficiency across operator ecosystems.
“We’re excited to partner with GR8 Tech, a leading B2B iGaming platform provider,” Ribakovs said. “Together, we aim to expand payment capabilities for operators and create a more flexible and efficient payment experience.”
Broader Trend Toward Crypto Integration in iGaming
The deal reflects a wider industry shift toward diversified payment ecosystems, where operators increasingly combine fiat, digital wallets, and crypto options to improve accessibility and reduce friction in player transactions.
