PayNearMe and Sapio Research recently released a report that reflects the payment habits and preferences of iGaming bettors throughout the US.
According to the survey results, 49% of those polled said a positive betting experience was the most important aspect to betting online. The research showed that 52% of bettors had problems with declined payments when registering for new betting applications, and 17% never returned to complete the applications after they had experienced trouble with payments.
PayNearMe Vice President and General Manager of iGaming and Sports Betting Leighton Webb noted that customer feedback has inspired the company’s recent rapid-payout platform.
Webb commented: “We’ve learned from consumers that payments greatly impact the player experience, and players want faster payouts.
“With PayNearMe, operators can deliver on players’ expectations and increase the speed of payouts so funds are available in minutes rather than days.”
PayNearMe operates and processes payments in 19 US states for licensed online iGaming and sports betting operators. It recently worked with the Arkansas Gaming Commission to ensure its platform complied with state requirements.
The company continues to focus on US expansion as more states legalize iGaming and online sports betting. PayNearMe recently brought New York its Moneyline platform after receiving approval from the NYSGC.
