Mobile sportsbook from Quapaw Nation’s Saracen Casino Resort adds Paysafe’s Skrill USA digital wallet to facilitate payments for sports wagering
Paysafe, a leading specialized payments platform, announced its entry into the Arkansas mobile sports-betting market through a partnership with BetSaracen, the sportsbook app from Saracen Casino Resort in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, which is owned by the Quapaw Tribe, based in Oklahoma. The partnership’s first phase sees BetSaracen integrate Paysafe’s Skrill USA digital wallet to enable players to make frictionless deposits and payouts.
Sports bettors in Arkansas – the 22nd U.S. state or jurisdiction where Paysafe has an iGaming payments footprint – can now use Skrill USA to instantly fund a wager with BetSaracen’s iOS and Android apps. A streamlined registration process with Skrill USA, which enjoyed a product revamp last fall, allows players to link their bank accounts with the digital wallet. They can then deposit into their BetSaracen account in a matter of seconds via instant online bank transfer – and begin wagering on North American sports-league games and international sports.
Alternatively, BetSaracen customers can fund their Skrill USA accounts by simply entering their debit or credit card info, or by using Paysafe’s Paysafecash online cash, or eCash, solution, which is available at thousands of in-store retailers in Arkansas and across the wider U.S.
Cashing-out their winnings from the BetSaracen apps is just as simple for Arkansas sports bettors, with funds accessible in their Skrill USA accounts in real time. Once their bank accounts are linked to Skrill USA, players can also transfer winnings from their digital wallet account within seconds.
Beyond Skrill USA, BetSaracen’s connectivity to the Paysafe platform will allow the operator to access the company’s complete suite of traditional and alternative payment methods going forward.
Zak Cutler, CEO of North America iGaming at Paysafe, 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.”
Carlton Saffa, Chief Market Officer at Saracen Casino Resort and BetSaracen, 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.”
