Gambling operator Paddy Power Betfair announced that it has chosen provider of payment services Worldpay as its preferred payments partner. Under the terms of their agreement, the latter company will provide online customers of the gambling business with secure payment processing options.
Worldpay said that given the fact that it works with more than 150 international customers and has gained quite a lot of experience in the online gambling industry over the past years, it will also be able to offer the gambling operator insights into the world of payment services, as well as much-needed knowledge and expertize. Thus, the online payment solutions business believes that it would contribute to the further development and growth of the recently merged major gambling operator and would improve the processing services it offers its gambling clients.
Commenting on their choice of payments partner, Paddy Power Betfair Director of Customer Payments and Fraud Ciarán Scallan said that it is extremely important for their players to be able to manage their funds “efficiently and reliably.” Mr. Scallan further noted that the upcoming end of the football season and the European Championships to take place this summer will bring fantastic growth to his company. The official also said that it is vital for them to have a trusted and experienced partner and advisor to their online payments infrastructure. Mr. Scallan concluded by noting that they are all looking forward to grow their relationship with Worldpay in the months to come.
Peter Wickes, Vice President of Business Development for Gambling, Global eCommerce at Worldpay, said that his company processes more online gambling transactions than any other such provider in Europe and it prides on the expertize it has gained over the years.
Mr. Wickes pointed out that their ability to process payments at such a great volume is something that gambling operators really praise. According to the official, they will be able to help Paddy Power Betfair secure its position as a leader in the online betting and gaming industry through deep data analytics among other things.
Paddy Power and Betfair finalized their merger early in February to create Paddy Power Betfair, one of the world’s biggest gambling companies.
