PokerStars begins Paysafe ‘Rapid Transfer’ Euro rollout

The Stars Group Inc’s flagship online poker brand PokerStars is set to boost its transactional capabilities by rolling-out Paysafe Group’s ‘Rapid Transfer’ solution across ten European territories.

Launched in 2016 with the aim of bolstering merchant seamless transaction capacities and further improving all-round user conversions, Paysafe’s Rapid Transfer allows digital consumers to make payments instantly from their bank account, without leaving an operator or merchant’s website.

Integrating the solution, PokerStars – the world’s largest online poker room – will benefit from an instant payment processing capacity and amplified choice of payment solutions for its customer base.

The partnership sees The Stars Group expand its existing relationship with Paysafe Group, which this May confirmed that it would relaunch its affiliate marketing programme utilising Paysafe’s Income Access software as leading marketing services provider.

Lorenzo Pellegrino, CEO of Skrill, NETELLER and Income Access at Paysafe – responsible for the company’s Rapid Transfer solution – commented: “PokerStars’ position as a market leader is reflected across everything they do. We are delighted to be supporting them to ensure this quality service for players spans across the deposit methods they offer, via Rapid Transfer in addition to Skrill, NETELLER and Paysafecard.”
