Forthcoming Fubo Sportsbook to plug into Paysafe for full suite
of traditional and alternative payments
Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), a leading specialized payments platform,
today announced a partnership with Fubo Gaming, the Chicago-based
subsidiary of leading sports-first live TV streaming platform
fuboTV Inc. (NYSE: FUBO). Expected to launch in Q4 2021 subject to
obtaining requisite regulatory approvals, Fubo Gaming’s mobile
sportsbook, Fubo Sportsbook, will plug into Paysafe for credit and
debit card payments, the Skrill USA digital wallet, and paysafecard
and Paysafecash eCash solutions.
Through Paysafe’s best-in-breed payment gateway, Fubo Sportsbook
users will be able to seamlessly fund a deposit via credit card,
debit card or ACH bank transfer from a checking or savings account.
Bettors will also be able to use Skrill USA to make rapid and
secure deposits from their digital wallet account into their Fubo
Sportsbook account. Those who prefer cash can choose to deposit
using either paysafecard or Paysafecash, with both eCash solutions
available at thousands of U.S. retailers.
In addition, Paysafe will facilitate payouts, with bettors able
to choose between ACH withdrawals or Skrill USA’s digital wallet,
which will allow winnings to be transferred in real-time to
players’ bank accounts. Alternatively, they can use the Skrill
Visa® Prepaid Card to withdraw winnings as cash from an ATM.
Designed as a holistic, hyper-personalized betting experience
reflecting what users are watching on fuboTV, Fubo Sportsbook
intends to combine data from both the betting and streaming
platforms. Leveraging fuboTV’s first-party user behavior data to
understand consumers’ viewing preferences and recommend relevant
bets, the company intends to turn passive viewers into active,
engaged participants.
In addition to its licenses and market access agreements in
Arizona via Ak-Chin Indian Community and Iowa via Casino Queen,
Fubo Gaming has also obtained market access agreements in
Pennsylvania via The Cordish Companies as well as Indiana and New
Jersey via Caesars Entertainment Inc.
Zak Cutler, CEO of the North America iGaming division at
Paysafe, said, “We’re delighted to partner with Fubo Gaming’s
forthcoming Fubo Sportsbook. Our comprehensive range of payment
solutions, with a strong emphasis on fast and frictionless deposits
and payouts, will be key for Fubo Sportsbook’s interactive wagering
model, and we look forward to providing strong support to the
brand’s launch in Q4 and its future growth.”
Scott Butera, President of Fubo Gaming, commented: “We are
building our Fubo Sportsbook to deliver a truly integrated and
interactive betting experience, where sports fans can be active and
engaged participants of the games they are watching and wagering
on. To bring that vision to life, we needed a payment partner who
was going to provide secure, fast, and easy-to-use solutions for
our sportsbook users. Paysafe checks all of those boxes, and we
look forward to our continued partnership.”
