Technologie verschiebt die Grenzen von Online-Zahlungen im Jahr 2024: MDC prüft biometrische Zahlungen

WATERFORD, Irland, Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ein neues Phänomen im Jahr 2024 hebt den digitalen Zahlungsverkehr auf die nächste Stufe – die biometrische Verifizierung von Gesicht und Fingerabdruck. Minimum Deposit Casinos (MDC) – ein Geschäftsbereich der OneTwenty Group – hat im September 2024 beschlossen, diese Technologie zu analysieren und festgestellt, dass sie die Art und Weise, wie Menschen Zahlungen vornehmen, insbesondere in regulierten Online–Casinos verändert.

„Dies ist zweifelsohne ein Erlebnis der nächsten Generation. Mit einem einfachen Blick oder einem Fingerdruck können die Spieler ihre Identität bei Ein– und Auszahlungen leicht überprüfen. Dies erhöht die Bequemlichkeit für die Spieler, da umständliche Schritte und lange Wartezeiten entfallen. Damit werden die Grenzen des Möglichen deutlich verschoben“, so Miranda Raaff, Head of iGaming Information bei MDC.

„Wir haben festgestellt, dass sich die Spieler dazu entschließen, Einlagen von nur 1 USD zu tätigen. Mit der weltweit wachsenden Nachfrage nach schnelleren und sichereren Transaktionen haben sich biometrische Zahlungen zu einem neuen Trend entwickelt, der die Notwendigkeit von Passwörtern und PINs überflüssig macht und einen neuen Standard im globalen Online–Casino–Bereich setzt. Und das zu einem Zeitpunkt, der nicht besser gewählt sein könnte, da Halloween (31. Oktober 2024) vor der Tür steht.“

Schnelligkeit und Bequemlichkeit sind zwar entscheidend, aber die Sicherheit digitaler Zahlungen kann nicht hoch genug eingeschätzt werden. Das Ökosystem basiert auf hochmodernen Mechanismen, die gewährleisten, dass Finanzdaten nach den höchsten Sicherheitsstandards geschützt werden. Moderne militärische Verschlüsselungsmethoden, Multi–Faktor–Authentifizierung und Blockchain–Technologie sorgen dafür, dass Transaktionen nicht nur schnell, sondern auch sicher vor potenziellen Cyberbedrohungen sind.

„Die Technologie, die dieser Zahlungslösung zugrunde liegt, ist schlichtweg bemerkenswert. Insbesondere fügt die Blockchain eine zusätzliche Schutzschicht hinzu, die es nahezu unmöglich macht, Transaktionen zu verändern oder zu manipulieren. Die Spieler können nun in Sekundenschnelle sichere Transaktionen durchführen, ohne sich an Passwörter erinnern zu müssen. Das ist die Zukunft des digitalen Zahlungsverkehrs, und sie spielt sich genau jetzt vor unseren Augen ab“, so Raaff.

Während sich das digitale Zahlungssystem weiter entwickelt, betonte MDC, dass die regulierten Online–Casinos es mit offenen Armen empfangen würden.

A tecnologia supera os limites dos pagamentos on-line em 2024: MDC examina pagamentos por verificação biométrica

WATERFORD, Irlanda, Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Um novo fenômeno em 2024 está levando os pagamentos digitais a um novo patamar – a verificação biométrica facial e de impressões digitais. A Minimum Deposit Casinos (MDC) – uma divisão do OneTwenty Group – decidiu analisar essa tecnologia em setembro de 2024 e constatou que ela estava mudando a forma como as pessoas fazem pagamentos, especialmente em cassinos on–line regulamentados.

“Não há dúvida de que estamos diante de uma experiência de última geração. Com um simples olhar ou toque, os jogadores podem confirmar facilmente sua identidade ao fazer depósitos e saques. Isso aumenta a conveniência para os jogadores, eliminando etapas complicadas e longos períodos de espera – verdadeiramente expandindo os limites do que é possível”, disse Miranda Raaff, diretora de informações sobre iGaming da MDC.

“Percebemos uma mudança na forma como os jogadores preferem fazer depósitos de valores baixos, como US$ 1. Com a crescente demanda por transações mais rápidas e seguras em todo o mundo, os pagamentos com utilização de biometria se tornaram um divisor de águas, eliminando a necessidade de senhas e PINs e estabelecendo um novo padrão no mercado global de cassinos on–line. E isso não poderia ter vindo em um momento mais oportuno, com a proximidade do Halloween (31 de outubro de 2024).”

Embora a velocidade e a conveniência sejam fatores essenciais, a segurança dos pagamentos digitais não pode ser negligenciada. O ecossistema é construído com base em mecanismos de ponta que garantem que as informações financeiras sejam protegidas pelos mais altos padrões de segurança. Métodos avançados de criptografia militar, autenticação multifatorial e tecnologia blockchain garantem que as transações não sejam apenas rápidas, mas que também estejam protegidas contra possíveis ameaças cibernéticas.

“A tecnologia que alimenta essa solução de pagamento é extraordinária. Em especial, o blockchain acrescenta uma camada extra de proteção que praticamente impossibilita que as transações sejam alteradas ou adulteradas. Agora, os jogadores podem fazer transações seguras em questão de segundos sem precisar memorizar senhas. É o futuro dos pagamentos digitais que está acontecendo diante de nossos olhos”, disse Raaff.

À medida que o ecossistema de pagamento digital continua a evoluir, a MDC destacou que os cassinos on–line regulamentados estão aderindo a essa forma de pagamento de forma receptiva.

A MDC, uma divisão do OneTwenty Group, é um portal global de recursos de iGaming que analisa e recomenda aos jogadores os cassinos on–line mais confiáveis e regulamentados.

La technologie repousse les limites inhérentes aux solutions de paiement en ligne en 2024 – MDC explore la voie des paiements biométriques

WATERFORD, Irlande, 01 oct. 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Un nouveau phénomène visant à relever le niveau des paiements numériques est né en 2024, à savoir l’authentification biométrique par reconnaissance faciale et empreinte digitale. Minimum Deposit Casinos (MDC), une division du groupe OneTwenty, a résolu d’analyser cette technologie en septembre 2024 et a pu constater qu’elle remodelait les pratiques de paiement, notamment dans les casinos en ligne réglementés.

« C’est incontestablement une expérience nouvelle génération. D’un simple regard ou du toucher, les joueurs peuvent facilement s’authentifier lors de leurs dépôts et retraits, ce qui rend les conditions de jeu bien meilleures, supprime de fastidieuses étapes et met fin aux longues files d’attente. Autrement dit, cette technologie repousse véritablement les limites du possible » observe Miranda Raaff, Responsable de l’information iGaming chez MDC.

« Nous avons constaté une évolution dans la manière dont les joueurs choisissent d’effectuer des dépôts à partir d’un montant de seulement 1 dollar. À l’appui d’une demande renforcée en transactions plus rapides et plus sécurisées en provenance du monde entier, les paiements biométriques ont pris la forme d’un détonateur, écartant la nécessité de recourir à des mots de passe ou des codes PIN, et établissant ainsi une nouvelle norme appliquée à l’univers planétaire des casinos en ligne. Et ce phénomène arrive à point nommé, puisque les fêtes d’Halloween (à partir du 31 octobre 2024) approchent à grands pas. »

Si la rapidité et les aspects pratiques constituent des critères essentiels, la sécurité des paiements numériques ne saurait être négligée. L’écosystème repose sur des mécanismes de pointe qui garantissent la protection des informations financières en vertu des normes de sécurité les plus strictes. Au–delà de garantir la rapidité des transactions, des méthodes de cryptage militaire avancées, une authentification multifacteur et une technologie blockchain les abritent d’éventuelles attaques cybernétiques.

« La technologie qui alimente cette solution de paiement est tout simplement remarquable. Particulièrement, la blockchain apporte un degré de protection supplémentaire qui rend la modification ou la falsification des transactions quasi impossible. Les joueurs peuvent désormais effectuer des transactions sécurisées en quelques secondes sans se soucier d’avoir à mémoriser des mots de passe. C’est déjà demain pour les paiements numériques, et nous y assistons aujourd’hui » ajoute Madame Raaff.

À l’heure où l’écosystème des paiements numériques poursuit son évolution, MDC a souligné que les casinos en ligne réglementés l’embrassaient à bras ouverts.

À propos de MDC

MDC, une division de OneTwenty Group, est un portail international de ressources sur les jeux en ligne qui analyse et recommande aux joueurs les casinos en ligne les plus fiables au monde. MDC procède à un audit approfondi des casinos en ligne, en se concentrant sur la sécurité, les licences de jeu, les outils de jeu responsable et les pratiques de jeu équitables avant d’émettre ses recommandations.

DUBAÏ, Émirats arabes unis, 01 oct. 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — En partenariat avec ITW Universe, la Fédération émiratie des esports annonce d’ici mars 2025 aux Émirats arabes unis le coup d’envoi de la Ligue des esports, l’une des premières du secteur des sports électroniques. Cette Ligue des esports s’inspire d’homologues d’importance majeure comme la ligue de basket–ball NBA, la ligue de football EPL ou la ligue de cricket IPL pour inaugurer un système inédit de franchise et de repêchage visant à redéfinir l’esprit compétitif du jeu.

La ligue mettra en vedette six équipes franchisées concourant dans plusieurs catégories de jeux, à savoir l’arène de bataille en ligne multijoueur, le tir à la première personne, la compétition sportive ou la course automobile, entre autres. Son modèle de repêchage représente une innovation du genre esport visant à promouvoir un équilibre dans la compétition et inspirer de nouveaux talents.

Des étapes de qualification internationales verront le jour début 2025, et récompenseront les champions de la catégorie amateurs en leur réservant des places dans le pool de repêchage qui leur donneront l’opportunité de concourir aux côtés de stars internationales. Cette approche renforcera la position des Émirats en tant que pôle mondial de l’esport.

Son Altesse le Cheikh Sultan Ben Khalifa Ben Chakhbout Al Nahyane, Président de la Fédération émiratie des esports en témoigne :
« La Ligue des esports réunira les éditeurs, les joueurs, les organisateurs et les marques autour des nouveaux contours de l’esport à dessiner dans la région. »

Vivek Chandra, Dirigeant d’ITW Universe, ajoute :
« Elle établira une nouvelle référence mondiale qui fera des Émirats arabes unis une destination de choix pour l’innovation dans l’esport et les talents qui l’accompagnent. »

Saïd Ali Al–Tahir, Secrétaire général de la Fédération, souligne quant à lui :
« La Ligue des esports propose une plateforme aux nouveaux talents et positionne les Émirats comme un leader mondial au sein de la communauté esport. »

Et Naïm Khan, Responsable des jeux et de l’esport chez ITW Universe de conclure :
« La Ligue des esports dépasse le concept d’un simple tournoi pour prendre la forme d’une expérience immersive de divertissement agrémentée de fan zones, d’événements communautaires et de performances en direct, qui élèvera les sports électroniques à l’échelle d’un divertissement sportif grand public. »

À l’appui d’un marché relatif aux PC et aux jeux vidéo ayant dégagé 92 milliards de dollars de chiffre d’affaires en 2023, la Ligue des esports entend porter l’esport vers de nouveaux sommets en y intégrant des cadres sportifs éprouvés favorisant la naissance d’un écosystème durable pour le développement des talents et la compétition internationale.

Cette annonce ne fait que marquer le début d’un itinéraire fascinant, qui distinguera la Ligue des esports au titre d’un événement phare de sa catégorie à l’échelle planétaire.

UBiqube verstärkt Vorstand mit Cloud- und Sicherheitsexperten, um seine AgileOps-Vision und globale Expansion voranzutreiben

DUBLIN, Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — UBiqube, ein führender Anbieter von Automatisierungslösungen für hybride Cloud– und Sicherheitsinfrastrukturen, gab heute bekannt, dass mit Jean–David Lehmann–Charley und Ahmed Guetari zwei erfahrene Führungskräfte in den Vorstand berufen wurden. Beide Manager verfügen über umfassende Expertise in den Bereichen Netzwerk–, Sicherheits– und Cloud–Technologien mit einer nachgewiesenen Erfolgsbilanz bei der Förderung von Innovation und Wachstum im Dienstleistungssektor.

Ihr Einstieg erfolgt zu einem entscheidenden Zeitpunkt für UBiqube, da sich das Unternehmen mit der Implementierung skalierbarer, automatisierter Lösungen für CloudOps–, NetOps– und SecOps–Praktiken im Bereich AgileOps neu positioniert. Zusammen mit ihren renommierten Kollegen von NTT und Fujitsu werden sie den Vorstand komplettieren und mit ihren relevanten Kompetenzen die Umsetzung von Innovationen bei UBiqube vorantreiben.

Jean–David Lehmann–Charley ist Regional Sales VP, Cortex Ecosystem EMEA and Latam bei Palo Alto Networks. Er verfügt über mehr als 20 Jahre Erfahrung im komplexen direkten und indirekten Vertrieb im Netzwerk– und Sicherheitsmarkt in EMEA und Lateinamerika bei Palo Alto und davor bei Juniper. Jean–David ist ein erfahrener Vertriebsleiter mit Unternehmergeist. Sein Wissen und seine Erfahrung werden für die Führung von UBiqube von entscheidender Bedeutung sein. „Ich freue mich über die Gelegenheit, zum Wachstum und zum Ruf von UBiqube als Anbieter von Automatisierungslösungen für Hybrid Clouds beizutragen“, so Jean–David. „In einer Branche, die für ihre Komplexität und das Überangebot an Tools bekannt ist, ist es ermutigend zu sehen, dass UBiqube sich auf Lösungen konzentriert, die Cloud– und Sicherheitsprozesse durch Automatisierung vereinfachen. Die IT–Infrastruktur muss unbedingt darauf vorbereitet werden, dem bevorstehenden ‚KI–Tsunami‘ standzuhalten.

Ahmed Guetari ist GM und VP of Products for Service Providers bei F5. Bei Juniper und aktuell bei F5 sammelte er mehr als 20 Jahre Erfahrung in der Branche. Ahmed gilt in der Branche als strategischer Denker mit einer Leidenschaft für die Bereitstellung bedarfsgerechter Technologien. Er ist ein praxisorientierter Produktmanager, dessen Führungsqualitäten tief in seinem Verständnis der betrieblichen Realität seiner Kunden verwurzelt sind.

Jean–David Lehmann–Charley é Vice–Presidente Regional de Vendas, ecossistema Cortex para EMEA e Latam da Palo Alto Networks. Ele tem mais de 20 anos de experiência em vendas complexas, diretas e indiretas, no mercado de rede e segurança em toda a EMEA e América Latina em Palo Alto e, antes disso, na Juniper. Jean–David é um líder de vendas empreendedor; sua experiência em campo e perspicácia serão essenciais para a governança da UBiqube. “Estou muito satisfeito com a oportunidade de poder contribuir para o crescimento e a reputação da UBiqube como fornecedora de soluções de automação de nuvem híbrida”, disse Jean–David. “Em um setor notoriamente atormentado pela complexidade e inflação das ferramentas, é encorajador ver o foco da UBiqube em soluções que simplificam as operações de nuvem e segurança por meio da automação.

Essas tendências transformacionais exigem soluções focadas no dimensionamento das operações por meio da simplificação e da automação dos processos. A UBiqube está na vanguarda deste campo de inovação e demonstrou isso a vários clientes e casos de uso”, disse Ahmed. “Estou entusiasmado em entrar para o conselho da UBiqube e ajudar a equipe a entrar no próximo capítulo do seu crescimento.”
