IGT signs partnership with Sightline Payments
By Gambling Insider

The partnership focuses on delivering cashless gaming solutions through Sightline’s digital commerce platform, Play+, and IGT’s IGTPay full-service funding solution, Resort Wallet cashless solution and PlaySports betting platform.

Play+ has already been added as a funding method into IGT’s cashless wagering solutions of IGTPay and Resort Wallet, therefore gamblers can now fund their Resort Wallet via Play+, and use those funds for gaming and entertainment at casino properties.

The digital options this agreement makes available aim to empower customers with tools to self-monitor, and govern, their own spending limits and gaming behaviour. Users can track spending, set daily or hourly limits. Additionally, casinos will have increased visibility and more tools to ensure guests are gaming responsibly.

Joe Pappano, Co-CEO for Sightline, commented: “Our technology enhances the gaming experience for both players and operators, and working in tandem with IGT’s complementary suite of products will help us transform even more traditional casino floors into fully cashless ecosystems. This partnership will provide players with the greatest variety of funding and withdrawal options while driving increased engagement and loyalty through a seamless digital payments ecosystem.”

Ryan Reddy, IGT Senior Vice President VLT, Systems and Payments, added: “Collaborating with Sightline’s complementary technology will enable the gaming floors powered by the IGT Advantage system with the IGTPay and Resort Wallet solutions to provide an unparalleled, cashless gaming experience by offering Play+ as a funding method for players.

"The demand for cashless gaming solutions is at an all-time high and increasing rapidly, so this partnership will help operators give their patrons the convenience they’re looking for in a safe, secure and seamless manner.”
