Mohegan Digital, the igaming division of Mohegan Gaming, has chosen payment platform PayNearMe as its exclusive Pennsylvania igaming payment provider.

With a single integration, PayNearMe’s MoneyLine™ platform will give Mohegan Digital access to a full suite of deposit and withdrawal methods, including debit and credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, Guaranteed ACH and cash at retail.

“To differentiate our brand in the Pennsylvania online gaming market, we knew we needed to offer players the most deposit and payout options immediately at launch,” said Rich Roberts, president of Mohegan Digital. “PayNearMe’s MoneyLine platform allows us to stay competitive while saving our product team the significant time and cost that would have been required to integrate multiple payment types and channels.”

The partnership gives Mohegan Digital access to PayNearMe’s insights dashboard, offering player payment behavior insights. The MoneyLine platform also will  improve player protection with fraud and risk prevention capabilities.

“PayNearMe is thrilled to be selected as the exclusive payment platform provider for Mohegan Digital’s online gaming offering in Pennsylvania,” said Leighton Webb, PayNearMe’s vice president and general manager of igaming and sports betting. “Our commitment is to help operators get to market quickly with the payment types and optimization tools they need to deliver a great player experience. We look forward to supporting Mohegan Digital’s growth as they expand their online gaming presence.”

Last week, Mohegan Digital launched a new Pennsylvania casino site, offering more than 500 games, including slots, jackpots, table games and live dealer options.
