Note: Founded in 2018, BR-DGE has engineered an independent, vendor-neutral payment orchestration abstraction layer that connects multi-site enterprise merchants to over 400 global payment technologies, alternative payment methods (APMs), and fraud prevention tools. By integrating tokenisation, intelligent multi-channel routing, and deep transactional data controls into a single software API, the infrastructure enables merchants to automate transaction routing, lift payment approval rates, and mitigate cross-border settlement friction. Historically anchored as a dominant infrastructure engine within the high-volume, highly complex iGaming and sports betting landscape, BR-DGE has achieved a massive 15x platform volume surge over the past 24 months, with transaction tracking set to exceed 100 million per month by the close of 2026. This £10m capital injection, which welcomes gaming infrastructure specialist Bettor Capital alongside existing institutional backers, will fund accelerated international go-to-market scaling, localized product deployment, and back their aggressive commercial push into adjacent, mainstream enterprise e-commerce verticals following landmark customer wins with The Hut Group (THG) and Betfred.
