PokerStars which is the flagship gaming brand of online gambling giant The Stars Group has recently inked a lucrative partnership deal with Paysafe Group. This new partnership is set to boost the online poker operator’s transactional capabilities as it involves the integration of PaySafe Group’s ‘Rapid Transfer’ tool which has already been rolled out across a total of 10 European territories. As such, the registered PokerStars customers in the 10 markets are now able to use Rapid Transfer to make deposits using their own banking details.
Paysafe’s Rapid Transfer is one of the most recent additions to the payment service providers innovative payments portfolio. In essence, it allows consumers or users to make online payments instantly from their bank accounts all without having to leave the operator’s or merchant’s websites. The users are then provided with instant confirmation of payment while at the same time getting to enjoy a smooth user journey thanks to the familiarity of using their usual online banking credentials.
The Stars Group decision to expand its partnership with Paysafe Group comes just a little over a month since the online provider announced that it would be relaunching its affiliate marketing program using Paysafe’s Income Access software as leading marketing services provider. Known as the Stars Affiliate Club, the relaunched program supports the PokerStars brand as well as PokerStars Casino, Full Tilt, Sky Bet, and BetStars. This is definitely going to get even more people on board with both the companies’ services.
“PokerStars’ position as a market leader is reflected across everything they do. We are delighted to be supporting them to ensure this quality service for players spans across the deposit methods they offer, via Rapid Transfer in addition to Skrill, NETELLER and Paysafecard,” Lorenzo Pellegrino, CEO of Skrill, NETELLER and Income Access at Paysafe commented.
Lorenzo is also responsible for the company’s Rapid Transfer solution.
Paysafe’s Partnership with Kindred
The Stars Group aside, it has also been recently revealed that Paysafe’s Income Access will be powering the US affiliate program of Kindred Group as it extends its footprint in the United States’ online gambling space. The Kindred Group officially launched its Unibet brand in New Jersey where it currently offers online gambling services with plans to move into the sports betting sector in the near future. The company is reportedly also eyeing the recently opened Pennsylvanian online gaming market.
PaySafe is definitely going to benefit from these massive gambling expansions. The company recently won the Payments Processor of the Year award at the inaugural edition of the American Gambling Awards for its amazing new gaming payments platforms. Hopefully, a lot more of the innovative features and products are on the way.
