BetMGM taps Shift4 as preferred payments partner

BetMGM has selected Shift4 as the operator’s preferred payments provider across its igaming and online sports betting platforms.

Shift4 will power transactions across BetMGM’s website and mobile app using end-to-end processing technology to deliver a secure, integrated payment solution.

Shift4 becomes the second payments solution provider to be onboarded onto the BetMGM platform after the Entain/MGM Resorts JV partnered with PXP Financial in January.

Shift4 processes more than 3.5 billion transactions annually worth more than $200bn for more than 200,000 partners across the hospitality, sports and fashion industries.

Maria Tomlinson, BetMGM head of payments, said: “Shift4’s end-to-end solution will deliver a superior payment experience for our customers, with a streamlined transaction experience and enhanced security.

“The company’s technology, capabilities, security and service made it an easy decision to partner with them,” she added.

Jared Isaacman, Shift4 CEO, added: “Shift4 already processes payments for half the casinos on the Las Vegas strip and across the country, and this partnership with BetMGM will enable us to leverage that expertise as we move aggressively into online gaming and sports betting markets.”
