Betcris official sponsor of Ceará and Fortaleza, big clubs in the Northeast of Brazil

Betcris continues to prove itself as the leading sports betting and online gaming operator in Latin America and has set itself the goal of partnering with the leading sports organizations in the region. It is already a sponsor of several sports teams in Latin America, as well as an official sponsor of the NFL and MLB for the area, and as a market leader, the alliances do not end there. This 2022, Betcris started presenting new strategic alliances in Mexico and Peru, but the news only increases. Betcris and the Ceará and Fortaleza clubs have signed agreements that place the company as the official sponsor of the clubs.

This alliance between Betcris with Ceará and Fortaleza confirms the betting company’s commitment to the Brazilian market where it is already present with its brand ambassadors: Ronaldinho Gaúcho and Natalia Gutlier.

Betcris offers online services in 15 countries, on 3 continents, as well as face-to-face service in locations throughout Latin America. Its customer service approach, competitive betting lines and fast payments are some of the advantages that make Betcris the preferred site for those looking to bet on sports and casinos, safely and reliably.

The Brazilian teams come to the Betcris family at a great moment: in addition to being the only ones from the Northeast region to play the First Division of the 2022 Brazilian Championship, they are in international tournaments. Fortaleza will debut in the Libertadores and Ceará will try once again for the Copa Suramericana title.

Angelo Alberoni, Country Manager of Betcris in Brazil indicated that “Betcris is a leader in Latin America and there is nothing more natural than sponsoring two Brazilian soccer giants. With sponsorships in our DNA, we chose to be in Ceará and Fortaleza because of the greatness of both and the strength that represents the Northeast. It will be the first sponsorship of the brand in Brazil and, together with the strongest teams in the Northeast, Betcris will bring to the Brazilian public and, in particular, to the Northeast, its extensive experience in sports betting, which places it in the leadership of the segment in Latin America”.

For his part, Lavor Neto, Director of Marketing and Communication of Ceará, highlighted that: “This partnership comes at an opportune moment. We are talking about the union between a brand with more than 20 years of leadership in the countries where it operates, a football club with 108 years of history and a committed public. It is not surprising that we are a reference in a partner program in the North and Northeast. As we prepare for a South American Cup, we become mutual collaborators with the aim of developing both the Betcris brand in Latin America, as well as Northeast and Brazilian football as a whole.”

Marcelo Paz, president of Fortaleza, also added that “We are very happy with the agreement with Betcris. The Commercial Department has been working to find agreements with more brand exposure in our club, generating great identification with our fans and the market. And Betcris comes to fill this space for three years. It is a considerable sponsorship, an international team brand, which believes in the strength of Ceará soccer, in the strength of Fortaleza, to promote its product. And we, as we always seek to do with our sponsors, more than exposure, we want to activate, generate good business, make the brand feel more and more satisfied when wearing the Fortaleza shirt. We are happy. May it be very beneficial for both parties.”

Betcris is proud of its multiple sponsorships in the region. They are considered an integral part of the operator’s commitment to promote a unified sports gaming industry throughout Latin America. As it continues to expand into new countries in the region, it is actively seeking new sponsorships and partnerships that can further enhance that commitment.

The Ceará and the Fortaleza, join the Betcris family, along with the MLB, NFL, Mexico National Team, Ecuador National Team and a series of clubs and leagues of great importance in the world of sports.

New product allows American bettors to log-in directly to their bank accounts at online sportsbooks’ cashiers to fund real-time wagers

Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), a leading payments platform, today launched Pay by Bank for iGaming, a new solution allowing U.S. online bettors to instantly and securely fund deposits at operators’ cashiers directly from their online bank account as well as cash-out winnings seamlessly. This product expands the capabilities of Paysafe’s Gateway, the iGaming payments solution that connects U.S. operators to the market’s most comprehensive range of traditional and alternative payment methods via a single integration.

Building on Paysafe’s 25+ years’ history streamlining iGaming payments, the company added Pay by Bank to respond to the growing demand from U.S. players for payment choice. The Gateway already connects operators’ cashiers to Paysafe-processed card payments, the Skrill digital wallet, the Paysafecash online cash solution, and third-party payment products. Strengthening operators’ player acquisition, Pay by Bank provides their customers with yet another payment option that is particularly appealing to the 27% of bettors who prefer transacting via direct bank transfer, according to Paysafe research.

Leveraging Paysafe’s single-integration Gateway, U.S. online gaming operators can now offer Pay by Bank to their customers, giving first-time users the ability to sync their checking or savings account in just seconds, then fund their player account securely in real-time. For returning bettors, the process is even easier, with Pay by Bank supporting one-click payments from linked accounts.

Winnings can be withdrawn from players’ sportsbook accounts just as seamlessly, with Pay by Bank enabling rapid payouts directly to linked bank accounts, again initiated through a single click.

For operators, all Pay by Bank transactions are indemnified, reducing liability if a player’s deposit from their bank account defaults. Along with helping to drive player acquisition by providing more payment choice, Pay by Bank’s other benefits for operators include strengthening customer retention by improving the overall payment experience. According to Paysafe research, transactional speed and financial security are players’ top-two priorities when it comes to the payment experience.

Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, said: “We’re delighted to unveil our new Pay by Bank product for our iGaming solution, which will almost certainly prove very effective in both converting and retaining players for U.S. operators, with the product’s impressive transactional speed and robust security. Through Pay by Bank, we continue to grow the Paysafe Gateway by providing American operators and their customers with unparalleled payment choices, all through a single integration.”

Paysafe will be showcasing Pay by Bank and the Paysafe Gateway while exhibiting (Booth A270) at the SBC Summit North America in New Jersey from May 7^th to 9^th, 2024.
