Players at SkyBet.com, SkyPoker.com, SkyVegas.com and SkyBingo.com can now use the Neteller e-wallet to deposit and withdraw funds after parent firm Sky Betting And Gaming signed a deal with Neovia Financial.
Isle Of Man-based independent online payment provider Neovia is the firm behind Neteller and stated that its e-wallet is now available to the over 150,000 players that visit Sky’s sites each week.
Sky Betting And Gaming’s parent firm, British Sky Broadcasting, revealed that it is looking to roll its gaming offerings out across Europe and the Far East over the next six to twelve months and stated that the Neteller e-wallet will help it to reach new customers in these markets.
“The benefit we bring to British Sky Broadcasting is a strong reputation for securely managing funds from one wallet and transacting at multiple gaming sites,” said Dan Starr, Executive Vice-President Of Sales, Marketing And Products for Neovia.
“E-wallets are very common among players across multiple sites and they want a single provider that is widely accepted. We offer this plus the ability of taking winnings out via the Net+ pre-paid card. We are pleased to add British Sky Broadcasting to our extending portfolio of clients.”
The agreement will also see British Sky Broadcasting given the opportunity to cross-sell its products and services to other Neteller members and wallet holders.
“We were in the process of expanding our gaming operation and were looking at alternative payments over and above credit cards,” said Bernard Casey, Head Of Gaming Operations for Sky Betting And Gaming.
“We choose Neovia’s Neteller as our first e-wallet because of its reputation as the industry’s premier e-wallet as used by the majority of gaming players. It is easy for our users to register, deposit and make withdrawals from and is a secure alternative to credit cards.”
