Sightline’s payment’s Play+ has been added as a funding method into IGT’s land-based cashless wagering solutions.

Sightline Payments has today announced an agreement with International Game Technology (IGT) to deliver cashless gaming solutions to IGT’s payment platforms.

Per the agreement, Play+ has been added as a funding option to IGT’s payment platforms IGTPay and Resort Wallet. This will allow players to cashlessly fund their accounts and use such funds to pay for bets, gaming, and other amenities at land-based properties.

“Our technology enhances the gaming experience for both players and operators and working in tandem with IGT’s complementary suite of products will help us transform even more traditional casino floors into fully cashless ecosystems,” said Sightline co-CEO Joe Pappano.

“This partnership will provide players with the greatest variety of funding and withdrawal options while driving increased engagement and loyalty through a seamless digital payments ecosystem.”

Via Sightline’s offering, guests will be able to track spending and set daily and hourly spending limits. The platform also gives operators increased visibility and tools to ensure players are gambling responsibly.

“Collaborating with Sightline’s complementary technology will enable the gaming floors powered by the IGT Advantage system with the IGTPay and Resort Wallet solutions to provide an unparalleled, cashless gaming experience by offering Play+ as a funding method for players,” added Ryan Reddy, IGT senior vice president VLT, systems and payments.

“The demand for cashless gaming solutions is at an all-time high and increasing rapidly, so this partnership will help operators give their patrons the convenience they’re looking for in a safe, secure, and seamless manner.”

Yesterday, IGT agreed to upgrade Alberta’s lottery service. Per the agreement, which runs to July 2026, IGT will update Alberta’s video lottery central system to the up-to-date version of Intelligen. This includes new features such as improved network diagnostics and stability.
