Paysafe Thursday announced its entry into the Arkansas sports-betting market through an agreement with Quapaw Nation’s Saracen Casino Resort’s sportsbook app, BetSaracen.
Saracen Casino Resort is in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
The agreement marks the 22nd state or jurisdiction where the U.K.-based specialized payments platform provider is active. Per the agreement, BetSaracen will integrate Paysafe’s Skrill USA digital wallet to allow players to make deposits and payouts.
“When partnering with Paysafe, we were impressed by the ease of use of the company’s payment solutions and Skrill USA in particular,” said Saracen Casino Resort Chief Marketing Officer Carlton Saffa in a statement. “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.”
Skrill USA’s streamlined registration process allows players to link their bank accounts with the digital wallet and then make deposits into BetSaracen accounts via instant online bank transfers. BetSaracen customers also can fund their Skrill USA accounts by entering debit or credit card info, or by using Paysafe’s Paysafecash online cash solution.
“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,” said Paysafe CEO of North America iGaming Zak Cutler. “We’re confident that BetSaracen’s players will find our Skrill USA digital wallet a game-changing payment solution for sports wagering.”
