Bet365 integrates '1-Tap' payment solution
Operator to deploy Skrill's 1-Tap technology across all devices.
Bet365 has teamed up with digital wallet provider Skrill to integrate a new ‘one tap’ payment solution for customers wagering on desktop, mobile and tablets devices.
Skrill 1-Tap will allow bet365 customers to make quick and easy payments without having to re-enter login details or credit card information. The technology has also been integrated into bet365’s standalone apps for iPhone, iPad and Android.
Skrill’s chief product officer David Roe commented: “At Skrill we are committed to making payments simple. With mobile gambling forecasted to reach US$4.8 billion globally by 2013 bet365 are ahead of the game with Skrill 1-Tap, capturing this rapidly growing sector and making the most of this emerging trend by offering frictionless, mobile-friendly payments.
“With Skrill 1-Tap now live on the world’s largest online betting company, and with several more operators scheduled to go live in the next few weeks, we are excited by the potential of a mobile payments solution that offers simplicity and convenience. We believe that this is the key to a truly mobile experience and are looking forward to launching Skrill 1-Tap with more providers over the coming weeks.”
Earlier this year Skrill, formerly known as Moneybookers, reached an agreement to acquire 100% of shares in prepaid voucher provider paysafecard.com Wertkarten AG and its subsidiary companies paysafecard.com Wertkarten Vertriebs GmbH and Prepaid Services Company Limited.
