London, UK: Leading global payments provider Paysafe Group (Paysafe) has
partnered with PokerStars, the world’s largest poker company🌈 and the flagship poker
brand of The Stars Group, to roll-out Paysafe’s Rapid Transfer payment solution in ten
European countries.🌈 Registered customers of the online poker site in these countries
now have the option to use Rapid Transfer to make🌈 deposits using their online banking
details.
Rapid Transfer allows consumers to make online payments instantly from their
bank account, without leaving🌈 an operator or merchant’s website. Users receive instant
confirmation of payment and benefit from a smooth user journey thanks to🌈 the
familiarity of using their online banking credentials.
Many view PokerStars as the home
of online poker. It has dealt more🌈 than 200 billion hands, hosted billions of
tournaments, and runs some of the most prestigious online series in the world🌈 including
the World Championship of Online Poker and the Spring Championship of Online Poker. Its
services are designed to provide🌈 safe and regulated online poker games for its global
community of millions of registered customers.
PokerStars’ implementation of Rapid
Transfer extends🌈 its deployment of deposit methods from Paysafe, which already include
its market-leading digital payment solutions Skrill, NETELLER and prepaid method,
🌈 paysafecard.
The importance of having secondary payment options is backed up by
industry research carried out by Paysafe last year among🌈 online businesses in the US,
UK, Canada, Germany and Austria, where 26% reported that they think that a lack of
🌈 available payment options on their website is a reason for abandoned
transactions.
Lorenzo Pellegrino, CEO of Skrill, NETELLER and Income Access🌈 at Paysafe
- responsible for the company’s Rapid Transfer solution - commented: “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.”
Income Access, Paysafe Group’s marketing technology🌈 and services
provider, recently announced that it will power The Stars Group’s newly relaunched
affiliate programme, Stars Affiliate Club. More🌈 information about the programme can be
found here.
