Nuvei Powers Sports Betting Payments for Carousel Group in the United States
17 August 2021 - 11:00PM
Nuvei Corporation (“Nuvei” or the “Company”) (TSX: NVEI and
NVEI.U), the global payment technology partner of thriving brands,
today announces an agreement with Carousel Group, a rapidly-growing
privately-held licensed sports betting and casino operator. Through
the agreement, Nuvei is powering payment transactions for Carousel
Group’s flagship brand, SportsBetting.com. Launching initially in
Colorado, the Company will support Carousel Group’s expansion
across the U.S., as it plans to make its online sportsbook
available in additional regulated markets, including Iowa, Indiana
and New Jersey.
SportsBetting.com integrates Nuvei’s payment technology,
benefiting from built-in compliance and fraud prevention, one-click
payments, and real-time user payouts. Nuvei’s wide-ranging
alternative payment methods (APMs) and support for multiple bank
sponsors offers even greater payment processing flexibility. Nuvei
will also provide the required expertise and innovative payment
solutions for the upcoming launch of MaximBet, a strategic
partnership between Carousel Group and media brand Maxim, offering
a multi-platform online destination for sports and casino fans.
“We are excited to be providing Carousel Group with secure and
reliable payments as we continue to grow our footprint into U.S.
iGaming and sports betting. As our first pilot merchant in the U.S.
regulated gaming space, we worked together closely shortly after
having received state vendor approval last summer to successfully
launch into the Colorado market,” said Philip Fayer, Nuvei’s Chair
and CEO. “Since then, not only have we expanded our payment
capabilities and portfolio of APMs, but through our recent
acquisition of Mazooma, we are adding exclusive product
functionality, vendor registration and infrastructure to address
operator requirements in any regulated U.S. state.”
“We are always looking to provide the best customer experience
for our users, so partnering with Nuvei as our payment technology
provider enables us to enhance the experience on our
SportsBetting.com platform, further helping position Carousel Group
and our brands as leaders within the gaming industry,” said Phillip
Wilson, Chief Operating Officer of Carousel Group. “Having a
diverse set of payment methods is critical for success in the
booming regulated U.S. market and Nuvei’s technology allows us to
integrate all the key providers.”
Nuvei’s Cashier simplifies how sports betting operators process
payments and facilitates entry into new regulated markets via its
proprietary compliance technology. Carousel Group can now choose
from an array of additional services offered by Nuvei à la carte,
including real-time fraud detection, risk management and instant
payouts. Through a single integrated platform, Nuvei aims to
maximize Carousel Group's revenue, while creating a seamless
payment journey for players on SportsBetting.com and beyond.
Nuvei continues its push as the payment technology partner of
choice for regulated iGaming and sports betting brands across the
U.S.
