Players will now have payment options through the Skrill USA digital wallet.

Paysafe has entered the Arkansas iGaming market through its new partnership with Saracen Casino Resort’s sports betting app BetSaracen. Through the first stage of the agreement, BetSaracen will utilize Paysafe’s Skrill USA payment system, which will give its players access to faster deposit and withdrawal options.

Saracen Casino Resort is located in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The Quapaw Tribe, which is based in Oklahoma, owns and operates the resort.

Saracen Casino Resort and BetSaracen Chief Marketing Officer Carlton Saffa commented: “When partnering with Paysafe, we were impressed by the ease of use of the company’s payment solutions and Skrill USA in particular.

“With Skrill USA, we know we’re offering Arkansans a best-in-class digital wallet that facilitates and enhances the wagering experience with the BetSaracen mobile sportsbook app.

Bettors in Arkansas will be able to use Paysafe’s Skrill USA digital wallet, which was upgraded during last year’s fourth quarter. Players will have the option of making instant deposits and immediate access to their winnings.

Paysafe CEO of North America iGaming Zak Cutler said: “We’re proud to expand into the Arkansas iGaming market with an established local operator that has strong brand recognition in the state and in neighboring Oklahoma, where the Quapaw Nation are based.

“We’re confident that BetSaracen’s players will find our Skrill USA digital wallet a game-changing payment solution for sports wagering.”

Paysafe recently expanded its partnership with international iGaming operator Betsson Group. Under the terms of the deal, the company provides various alternative and traditional payment solutions to Betsson’s online Colorado sportsbook brand, Betsafe.

In addition to continuing US expansion, Paysafe recently launched into Ontario’s commercial market with multiple iGaming operators. The Ontario market officially opened in April.
