  COFAR

  Extensive research across public databases, news archives, and industry directories has found no company operating under the name "COFAR" in the iGaming or gambling industry. Multiple organizations named COFAR exist in unrelated sectors: the Consortium for Food Allergy Research (CoFAR), a medical research consortium funded by the NIH/NIAID; COFAR Inc., a Massachusetts-based nonprofit advocating for individuals with developmental disabilities; and Smilecloud/Dentcof, a dental technology company founded by Florin Cofar. A French entity named Société COFAR (SAS) exists but its industry is unclear and not linked to gambling. All search queries specifically combining "COFAR" with gambling-related terms returned no relevant results. The company sought may be very small, a subsidiary, or known under a different legal name, but based on publicly available data, no gambling-related COFAR entity has been identified.

  TodayPay

  New York, NY, USA

  TodayPay is a U.S.-based technology company that has created an entirely new payment category: Refunds as a Service (RaaS). Emerging from stealth at Money20/20 in October 2023, TodayPay addresses the $1.4 trillion annual refund market by decoupling the refund payment from the logistics of returns. Instead of simply reversing a charge to the original payment method—a slow, inflexible process that often frustrates consumers and burdens merchants—TodayPay enables merchants, marketplaces, logistics providers, and insurers to issue instant refunds through multiple delivery methods (e.g., debit card, digital wallet, gift card) on their customers’ preferred channel, often with added incentives such as cashback rewards. The company’s flagship product positions the refund as a customer retention and revenue tool rather than a cost center. Merchants using TodayPay can offer “Refund Now, Pay Later” options, reduce chargeback disputes, and increase repeat purchase intent by 25% or more. Consumers receive a “Better Refund” via a secure text link, with the ability to choose speed and payout method—and even earn a premium on the refunded amount. TodayPay integrates via a simple API or widget and is trusted by merchants ranging from Shopify stores to Fortune 100 companies. The company operates in over 20 countries and processes refunds in multiple currencies, leveraging partnerships with Visa, Amazon Web Services, Marqeta, and Soma Capital.

  Vamos Pago

  United Arab Emirates (inferred from phone number)

  VamosPago is a global payment-solutions provider that connects businesses to customers through a single API-driven platform, with a strong emphasis on the iGaming and affiliate-marketing sectors. The company offers two main verticals: Campaigns (mass payouts for affiliate commissions) and Online Video Games (payment processing for casinos, sportsbooks, and esports). Its platform supports local payment methods in Latin America and Asia, aiming to reduce friction and boost conversion rates for operators. VamosPago is a privately owned, self-funded firm with 11–50 employees, according to its LinkedIn profile. The company maintains a low public footprint: no founding year, headquarters, or executive team are disclosed on its website, and its contact information lists a UAE telephone number. Despite its claims of maintaining top security certifications, no specific licences or accreditations are publicly named. The company appears to operate in the unregulated or grey-area fringes of the gaming payment space, making due diligence challenging for potential partners.

  Surge Group

  Surge Group is a technology services company that provides custom software development, system integration, quality assurance, and architecture design to business clients. Based on its LinkedIn profile, the company positions itself as an end-to-end technical solutions provider, though no further corporate details such as founding year, headquarters location, or employee count are publicly available in the provided search results. Despite the name appearing in multiple unrelated contexts—including a cleaning-consulting firm, an AI data company, and a restaurant group—none of the search results link this specific entity to the iGaming or gambling sector. Consequently, Surge Group cannot be confirmed as a participant in the iGaming industry based on the information supplied.

  Yesly

  Yesly is a direct iGaming advertiser operating its own in-house network of owned-and-operated brands. The company positions itself as a performance marketing agency tailored specifically for the gambling and betting vertical, offering programmatic media buying and audience acquisition services. Yesly’s core differentiator is that it does not rely on third-party affiliate inventory; instead, it has built a proprietary network composed entirely of its own branded assets, which it uses to deliver traffic and conversions for partner operators. The company’s website (yesly.com) describes its model as “totally epic” but provides few operational details beyond the value proposition of being a direct, brand-owner advertiser. A secondary arm, Yesly Fund, is listed on the same domain as an investment solution for partners, suggesting a broader financial service offering. Public information about Yesly is extremely sparse – no founding date, headquarters address, headcount, or leadership profiles are disclosed on the company’s site or in any of the search results reviewed. The only available social media presence (TikTok, Instagram) under the handle “yesly” belongs to an unrelated influencer (Yesly Dimate). The LinkedIn profile “YESLY” (linkedin.com/company/drinkyesly) corresponds to a separate beverage company (Yesly Water), not the iGaming entity. As a result, nearly all standard corporate details for the iGaming Yesly cannot be confirmed with reasonable confidence and are left null.
