Payzone and PokerStars Strike Deal

- 04/16/2012By Pamela PattersonGoogle
Payzone, the UK based leading mobile consumer payments network has announced that they have struck a deal with the world’s largest online poker website, PokerStars. The partnership will enable consumers to purchase top-up vouchers.
The partnership indicates Payzone’s first steps into the online casino games business, with PokerStars top-ups available on the 20,000 terminals in the company’s nationwide network.
Consumers will be able to top up their online casino games PokerStars account instantly by entering the special code from a top-up voucher purchased at a Payzone outlet. This form of payment is a preferred option for players who are weary of paying online for privacy reasons as well as and for players wanting a faster method than paying with a bank related account.
PokerStarsTopUp Cards are available in denominations of £10, £25, £50, £100 and £250. A player can then cash in these cards in the cashier to fund their poker account. The system is only for depositing. Customers will need to use one of the more traditional methods—like bank transfer, check, wire or through an online wallet—to process cashouts.
PokerStars is the first online casino games company that Payzone has established a partnership with. Payzone’s clients include major retailers and transport companies within the United Kingdom.
Mark Mellor, sales director at Payzone, shared his thoughts on the deal stating that the partnership with its first online casino games client means that there are other opportunities in this sector in the future. He went on to say, “The partnership is testament to our ongoing commitment to ensure new products are regularly added to the Payzone terminal and our retailers will earn commission on every transaction.”
PokerStars business development manager, Richard Connolly, remarked, “It’s great to be able to offer our existing and new customers an additional convenient payment method. Not all customers have, or want to use, a personal bank account for online transactions, so being able to buy top-ups offline is essential. Payzone’s terminals are easily accessible for our customers across the country and we’re confident it will be a successful partnership.”
