First Data’s general manager for online gambling and alternative markets Jonathan O’Connor commented that the response to PayLucky highlights the need for comprehensive payment solutions in the US gambling market.
He said that there was huge appetite among established US payments businesses to offer “streamlined and seamless experiences to gambling and gaming operators and their players.”
“We will move quickly to deliver on these opportunities and put more than four decades of payment innovations and experience to work for the ever-expanding industry segments,” O’Connor added.
“Adding First Data’s product to our existing cheque processing and money transfer services creates an exciting proposition for our clients,” Crosspay chief executive Dickson Jay commented. “We have an opportunity to capitalize on the growing online market in the U.S. and Canada by providing operators with the most powerful payment options in one simple offering.”
