PayPoint.net to process Sportingbet’s online payments in three year deal

Leading online sports book Sportingbet has signed a three year deal with payment service provider PayPoint.net, which will process online payments for the tier one British gaming operator’s 2.5 million customers across 200 countries.

Sportingbet selected PayPoint.net for its reliable, real-time reporting and market leading functionality. The company was highly impressed by the flexibility of PayPoint.net’s data reconciliation capabilities, which enable Sportingbet to export and view information based on specific criteria, including the territory, currency and historical background of a transaction, at the click of a button. The highly configurable reporting functionality also makes it possible to see specific data and filter between any date and time instantly.

Tamasin Norris, International Payments Manager, Sportingbet, comments: “We selected PayPoint.net for the flexibility and resilience it offered, but what we hadn’t expected was the unparalleled level of dedicated support. PayPoint.net’s hands-on approach and strong experience in gaming payments ensured we had a very smooth, seamless integration. We’re also delighted with what the solution has helped us achieve – viewing reports in real-time provides great efficiency benefits for the business and our customers can confidently process any bet, at any time from anywhere in the world. The product and the support teams both thoroughly deserve their good reputation within the industry.”

Michael Norton, managing director of PayPoint.net, comments: “As online gaming continues to grow in popularity, innovation equals differentiation and sales for online gaming providers. PayPoint.net’s vision and approach to the sector meets the needs and challenges that are facing gaming operators today – offering a secure payment system that accepts a range of payment methods quickly and easily. Having a clear understanding of the background behind the payments maximises business opportunities and minimises risk at the click of a mouse.”
