Paysafe’s Rapid Transfer enabled for PokerStars’ customers across Europe

Paysafe Group announced Tuesday it has partnered with PokerStars, the world’s largest poker company and the flagship poker brand of The Stars Group, to roll out Paysafe’s Rapid Transfer payment solution in ten European countries.

Rapid Transfer allows consumers to make online payments instantly from their bank account, without leaving an operator or merchant’s website. Users receive instant confirmation of payment and benefit from a smooth user journey thanks to the familiarity of using their online banking credentials. 

PokerStars has dealt more than 200 billion hands, hosted billions of tournaments, and runs some of the most prestigious online series in the world including the World Championship of Online Poker and the Spring Championship of Online Poker.

PokerStars’ implementation of Rapid Transfer extends its deployment of deposit methods from Paysafe, which already include its digital payment solutions Skrill, NETELLER and prepaid method, paysafecard. 

Lorenzo Pellegrino, CEO of Skrill, NETELLER and Income Access at Paysafe- responsible for the company’s Rapid Transfer solution - commented: "PokerStars’ position as a market leader is reflected across everything they do. We are delighted to be supporting them to ensure this quality service for players spans across the deposit methods they offer, via Rapid Transfer in addition to Skrill, NETELLER and paysafecard."
