Software Developer at GBL
About the company:
Who we are
GBL is a software development agency based in Kitchener, Ontario with a reputation for innovative design and cutting edge industry-leading development. Our roster of signature projects includes work in blockchain payment processing, and Bitcoin game development.
We also operate the brand GBL Pay (www.gblpay.io) which focuses on payment switch technology, merging the world of bitcoin and traditional Fiat payments.
What we do
Since 2014, we've helped the iGaming industry capitalize on the rapidly growing digital currency market. We recognized the need to help operators improve their payment efficiency and also lower the overall time and cost of processing a transaction through the use of Bitcoin.
In parallel, we created a white labeled iGaming software platform that tightly integrated into our Bitcoin processing engine. By improving the overall deposit and withdrawal flow, our goal was to create the ultimate end-to-end player experience.
We have since expanded our offering by creating a next generation modular iGaming platform that integrates easily with other content providers. We also developed our own in-house games, and expanded our payment engine to accept Fiat currency.
Although times have changed, our goal has remained consistent - harnessing the power of Bitcoin as a way to improve the overall experience.
