MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS
In October 2021, soon after Sattar started serving as Sightline’s Co-CEO, the payment solutions provider signed a deal with Mastercard to launch Play+ Mastercard, a solution meant to simplify the deposit process for players.
2022 was a good year for Sightline as the company, in collaboration with Green Dot and InComm Payments, began providing cash-loading options for Play+ accounts at over 100,000 throughout the US.
Later that year, the company announced an investment of up to $300m to implement cashless gaming at slot machines across the US. According to Sattar, the investment would ‘immensely impact the gaming landscape for decades to come.’
At the end of the year, in December, the payment solutions provider collaborated with Light & Wonder to launch cashless gaming solutions at Parx Casino, Pennsylvania.
As of August 2023, Sattar became the sole CEO of the company.
