Huch

Huch

We are more than a solution to be implemented by merchant, we are a user centric solution. We believe that to succeed an APM must be adopted by the users. For this purpose we try to engage with the user through a payment app in which we will add value added features for the user (cashback, BNPL etc...). The idea is that if we want to allow the merchant to save on acquisition costs when he integrates an APM, we must put the user in a position where he wants to use the APM instead of the classic solution.

LAMBDA Gamehub

LAMBDA Gamehub

There is no platform for iGame (gambling) developers to publish their games freely, like Play Store or Steam. We are creating one.
In the current business model, game developers offer their products to online casinos. Operators handle payments, and marketing, guarantee that winnings will be paid out, and handle compliance issues with local authorities
From the users' point of view - the current model does not provide transparency and fairness regarding return to player (RTP) and conflict resolution. Some effort has been made in this direction, but not nearly enough.
