- RSI and fintech provider Sightline launch new industry debit card solution
- Product debuts on BetRivers igaming platform
- Customers gain greater control over their money
It’s an industry first, according to Rush Street Interactive (RSI) – an integrated debit payments solution, in partnership with Sightline Payments, the fintech provider, debuting on RSI’s BetRivers platform.
Industry First
What does it mean? More seamlessness with how people interact with an online gaming platform. The solution will allow players to more conveniently access account balances, and use their funds, RSI said in a statement today.
In the statement RSI says that will help to reduce churn, having to repeatedly withdraw and re-deposit funds, and the high payments costs and delays that accompany it. Called BetRivers Debit, the new product is a white labelled version of Sightline Debit.
Sightline Debit is a debit card and demand deposit account, a payment ecosystem geared for sports betting, igaming and land-based gaming. Users get a Visa-branded debit card linked to an FDIC-insured bank account where gaming funds sit. That allows instant access for spending both inside and outside gaming platforms.
High Costs of Payments
And by having segregated funds meant for gaming activity, patrons are more closely able to adhere to their gaming budget. That promotes responsible gambling.
Sightline Payments Co-Founder and CEO Omer Sattar says the product is backed by Cross River Bank.
“The cost of payments in digital gaming is staggeringly high, on average, 4.5x higher than that of other industries. Over nearly 3 years and 200,000+ hours worked, in deep collaboration with 7 of the largest gaming operators in America, we painstakingly took the payment ecosystem apart and reassembled it, creating an entirely new, bespoke ecosystem where payments in gaming now is cheaper for operators and easier, safer, and more responsible for patrons,” said Sattar in August, when the company launched Sightline Debit.
Reducing Churn
“We remain deeply committed to putting our players first. The launch of the online gaming industry’s first integrated debit payments solution marks a major step forward in enhancing the BetRivers experience,” said Richard Schwartz, CEO of RSI.
“We’re proud that our team helped shape this innovative payment solution in close collaboration with Sightline. It further underscores RSI’s leadership in delivering cutting-edge technologies that elevate the player experience,” he said. “Our collaboration with Sightline Debit demonstrates our commitment to integrity, innovation, and delivering exceptional player experiences. Being first-to-market with revolutionary new technologies benefits the entire RSI operation – from our team to our players to our investors.”
The BetRiver’s product has been introduced in New York, the first step in a broader expansion, the company said.
