The expansion introduces 10 new local payment options that match how players already pay in their home markets, including:

  • Europe: MB Way (Portugal) adds nationwide, mobile-first checkout with instant confirmations and broad recognition.
  • Asia: JKOPay (Taiwan) delivers a trusted, mobile wallet with QR payments and loyalty; Paidy (Japan) offers card-free Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) with single-bill or installment options.
  • Africa: Airtel Mobile Money (Tanzania, Madagascar) and MTN Mobile Money (Cameroon, Congo-Brazzaville, Zambia) enable app/USSD approvals and real-time confirmations; Paga (Nigeria) reduces card friction with in-app wallet payments; Bank Transfers (Nigeria) meet demand for Pay-by-Bank flows; MVola (Madagascar) brings nationwide reach as the country’s leading wallet; Spenn (Rwanda, Zambia) offers wallet-led payments with instant confirmations.
  • Latin America: Mercado Pago (Uruguay) provides a leading regional wallet with multiple funding sources and real-time confirmations.

“Holiday launches are won or lost at checkout,” said Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla. “By adding preferred local payment methods players already trust from digital wallets across Africa and Latin America to BNPL options in Japan and mobile wallets in Taiwan and Portugal, we’re helping studios turn festive demand into loyal long-term relationships.”

Across these regions, mobile wallets, Pay-by-Bank, and flexible credit options continue to outpace traditional cards, especially among younger, mobile-first players. Aligning with local rails delivers instant confirmation, familiar authentication, and materially higher completion rates during peak holiday volume periods.
