Isle of Man-based independent online payment provider Neovia Financial has announced a deal with operator Sky Betting And Gaming that will see its Neteller e-wallet solution utilised by some of the world’s leading online gaming sites.
Neovia is the firm behind the Neteller online e-wallet and this service will now be available to the over 150,000 weekly active players at SkyBet.com, SkyPoker.com, SkyVegas.com and SkyBingo.com.
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 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.”
