Paysafe’s US-based digital payment solution, Skrill USA, has today announced a major update to the platform aimed at making online wagering easier for consumers and iGaming brands.
Initially, this update will add both instant deposits and payouts to the iGaming payments app, with more features to release soon.
This is achieved via a registration process for first-time Skrill users where their bank accounts are quickly linked to their Skrill accounts.
Paul Jardon, CEO and CFO of Skrill USA, Inc., said: “We’re excited to roll out a major product upgrade for our digital wallet. Players using Skrill USA to wager with US iGaming brands will enjoy the wallet’s sophisticated user experience and find it’s faster than ever before to make a deposit and to receive payouts of their winnings.”
This wholesale upgrade comes after Paysafe conducted research revealing that US-sports bettors consider fast and frictionless payments the top factor when choosing an online sportsbook.
Furthermore, the iOS, Android and desktop apps have seen their user interfaces streamlined for ease of use. This change comes in the form of a new tiled display that hopes to centralize the key information bettors require.
Zak Cutler, CEO of North America iGaming at Paysafe, commented: “Payments are one of the main pillars of customer conversion for US iGaming brands. With an unparalleled payments experience, the new Skrill USA digital wallet will give operators an edge when it comes to customer acquisition and retention – we feel it’s a game changer for the increasingly competitive US market.”
