ators Betfred are to offer the 1-Tap mobile payments product from online payments firm Skrill.

Now fully integrated into Betfred’s mobile sportsbook, Skrill 1-Tap connects with Skrill’s Digital Wallet to offer “quick and easy” mobile payments to customers and merchants.

Betfred.com customers can use the service to make payments in ‘one tap’ rather than having to repeatedly enter their login details or sensitive credit card information.

Customer’s payment details are saved after an initial payment is made via Skrill, meaning the 1-Tap functionality is enabled the next time they log on to Betfred.com.

Betfred.com head of payments Dennis Luckett said: “Customers expect to be able to manage all their online accounts on the move and so giving them this ability, and ensuring payment is quick and easy, is a huge priority for us.”

Paul Barclay, Skrill VP of leisure, entertainment and technology, added: “The future is mobile and Skrill’s focus on innovation means we are able to meet customer needs, delivering an enhanced, more convenient experience and a product that suits their lives.”
