The agreement marks TrueLayer's first client in the video gaming industry, opening a new growth channel for Pay by Bank and an indicator of the future of game monetisation.
With over 30,000 creators and more than $1 billion in global sales processed, Tebex is the infrastructure behind the microtransaction economies of some of the world's most successful gaming companies, including highly-popular Minecraft game servers Wynncraft, Hypixel and Rockstar Studio through their FiveM role playing servers. By integrating TrueLayer's Pay by Bank solution into its platform, Tebex will offer gamers a fast, safe, and convenient way to pay, while ensuring studios and creators get paid faster and more securely.
'We're here to give creators the infrastructure they need to scale sustainably, and payments are a huge part of that. With TrueLayer's Pay by Bank, we're removing friction, slashing fees, and helping studios and creators get paid faster and more securely. It's a win for players too, because it means fewer steps, no redirects, and a checkout experience that simply works,' commented Liam Wiltshire, Head of Payments & Compliance (Tebex), Overwolf.
Tebex has added Truelayer's Pay by Bank technology to its checkout in UK, Germany, France, Belgium and Spain, giving studios and server hosts in these markets a high-converting, low-cost payment option for their web stores. With TrueLayer's Pay by Bank solution, players can pay directly from their bank in a few taps, with no card fees, chargebacks, or redirects.
Powering the Next Evolution in Game Monetisation
In 2024 alone, the global gaming industry spent $187.7 billion, and is expected to reach $213.3 billion in 2027 [1]. Yet traditional payment methods struggle to keep up. Cards can fail, chargebacks are a constant threat to creators and studios, and hidden fees eat into margins for both studios and server owners.
By contrast, TrueLayer's Pay by Bank brings:
• A digital-native payment experience: An instant and digital experience - with no need for a physical card - meets the UX expectation of modern gamers.
• Lower fees: No card networks, no intermediaries, no surprises.
• Reduced fraud: Every payment is bank-authenticated and SCA-compliant by design.
'Gaming is a cultural force and a commerce juggernaut — and it's a perfect fit for Pay by Bank,' said Ben Morris, TrueLayer's Commercial Lead. 'Tebex is the gold standard for game monetisation, and we're thrilled to help power the next chapter of growth for their creators.

Ray Winstone recalls miserable role in Hollywood blockbuster

British actor Ray Winstone has criticised Marvel, suggesting the dominance of superhero films hinders the production of more "cultural films". Speaking at the Sarajevo Film Festival, Winstone stated the film industry is increasingly focused on ticket sales and actors' social media following rather than meaningful roles. Winstone expressed frustration over having to reshoot "all of" his scenes for Marvel's 2021 film Black Widow. He recalled being told by producers that his performance was "too strong", leading to the extensive reshoots, which he found disheartening. The actor, who played the villain Dreykov in Black Widow, previously described his experience working on the Marvel film as "soul-destroying".

He and his team have blown everyone away with the money spent but also with the quality of the players signed. Granit Xhaka is the standout example, but he's not the only one. Habib Diarra, Omar Alderete, Noah Sadiki, Simon Adingra, the list goes defeat of West Ham, albeit only one game, suggested all these players are comfortable in their Premier League skin. The bonus was their three goals were scored by three players who came up with the team from the a bold and ambitious bid to stay up but Sunderland fans are certainly backing them to do so. How does it compare to other promoted clubs? According to transfermarkt,, external Sunderland now top the all-time list for amount spent by a promoted club in the Premier a summer spend of £142m so far, both them, and fellow promoted side Burnley - who have spent £109m - are hoping for a solid return on their far as the numbers go, the other four teams to have spent big upon their Premier League return have had mixed Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest narrowly avoided the drop after busy summer windows following promotion, but are now playing in last summer saw Southampton an Ipswich finish as the bottom two sides in the league.
