PlayMatika and Betpassion in Italy’s €150 Billion Gaming Market to Use DuskPay

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of DuskPay, our blockchain-based payment infrastructure built for businesses that need speed, security, and compliance.

And we're not just talking theory. PlayMatika and BetPassion, two authorized Italian online gaming operators, will integrate DuskPay into their platforms. This marks a major step forward—not just for us, but for the future of digital payments in one of Europe’s most tightly regulated industries.

Why DuskPay?

We created DuskPay to solve a problem: traditional payment infrastructure is slow, expensive, and often not built to handle the compliance demands of highly regulated markets. We knew we could do better.

With DuskPay, we’re offering instant, cross-border transactions that are fully compliant with EU financial regulations. It's fast, secure, and transparent—and it’s designed from the ground up for sectors like online gaming, finance, and beyond.

As our CEO and Co-Founder Emanuele Francioni put it:

“This is not just another integration, but a true turning point. With DuskPay, we’re proving that blockchain can power real financial systems—regulated, efficient, and built to scale.”

Why Gaming?

Italy’s gaming and betting market generates over €150 billion each year—nearly half of which comes from online platforms. That’s a massive volume of payments moving every day, and it needs infrastructure that’s up to the task.

While real-world assets are often thought of as stocks or shares, we would also consider daily payments and commerce to fall under the umbrella of RWAs, and saw the chance to create a product that was not only better, but was needed. 

DuskPay will be integrated into the backend of the gaming websites, allowing normal users to take advantage of speed and efficiency without ever having to onboard or understand blockchain. 

A Glimpse into the Future

The digital payments market in Europe is on a steep upward curve. By 2032, it’s projected to grow from $91.2 billion to $410.7 billion—and mobile payments could hit a staggering $3 trillion by 2033. As cash use continues to decline across the Eurozone, the need for programmable, privacy-focused, and regulation-ready payments is more pressing than ever.

That’s where we come in.

With the support of our partners NPEX (a regulated Dutch exchange) and Quantoz (an EMI specializing in digital euros), we’re creating the foundation for a new kind of financial infrastructure.

What’s Next?

PlayMatika and BetPassion are just the beginning. We’re already in discussions with more enterprises who are ready to take their payments to the next level, and we’re ready to help them get there.

Let’s build the future of finance—one integration at a time.
