Paysafe expands Betsson partnership into US sports-betting market
Global iGaming operator’s new Betsafe online sportsbook for Colorado has plugged into Paysafe for suite of traditional and alternative payment solutions
Paysafe, a leading specialized payments platform, today announced its expanded partnership with Betsson Group, the international iGaming operator with multiple online sportsbook and casino brands, including Betsafe. Building on Paysafe’s longstanding payments support for Betsson globally, the company is now providing a range of traditional and alternative payment solutions to the new Betsafe online sportsbook for Colorado.
The extension of Betsson and Paysafe’s payments partnership to the U.S., starting in Colorado, is the latest phase of a partnership that dates back 15 years. Since 2007, Betsson brands have been offering their European players the paysafecard online cash, or eCash, solution, including in major markets such as Sweden, Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark, and Greece. In tandem, Paysafe’s Skrill and NETELLER digital wallets are payment methods for Betsson iGaming brands in 60+ global markets.
Now, with Betsson’s recent launch of its Betsafe mobile sportsbook for Colorado, Paysafe is facilitating Centennial State players’ online credit and debit card deposits. Whether a sports bettor wants to wager on U.S. sports league games or international sports, their card deposit to fund their Betsafe account will be processed seamlessly through Paysafe’s best-in-breed payment gateway.
The Paysafe integration also sees Betsafe able to offer players a comprehensive selection of alternative payment methods (APMs). Colorado sports bettors will be able to use Paysafe’s Skrill USA digital wallet, which underwent a major product upgrade in Q4 2021, to instantly make deposits and receive payouts of their winnings. Alternatively, cash-focused sports bettors will be able to use either of Paysafe’s eCash solutions, paysafecard or Paysafecash, to fund their Betsafe accounts, with both APMs available at thousands of U.S. in-store retailers in Colorado and across the wider U.S.
Zak Cutler, CEO of North America iGaming at Paysafe, said: “We’re delighted to support our longstanding partner Betsson Group’s expansion into the U.S. sports-betting and iGaming space with their Betsafe brand. We have a proven track record facilitating payments for Betsson brands and their players in multiple European and global markets, and we’re confident that we’ll play an equally important customer acquisition and retention role for the operator in Colorado and beyond.”
Marina Bogard, Managing Director US for Betsson Group, commented: “At Betsson, the customer is at the core of everything we do. We aim to make the entire journey on our brands as smooth and convenient as possible, including their deposit and payout experiences. As they have done in other markets, we are confident that Paysafe’s payment solutions will be able to support us with all our needs to achieve our goals.”
The renowned Mexican operator Logrand has installed Zitro’s new CONCEPT cabinets and a selection of its latest games at the New York Casino in Monterrey.
Building on its global success, the CONCEPT cabinet line stands out for its Magic Lighting, immersing players in a synchronized light display, resulting in a unique sensory experience. Furthermore, the cabinet’s large Screen Deck blends comfort with intuitive functionality, optimizing the experience for players and operational teams.
The installation of the CONCEPT cabinets is complemented by the addition of the medieval-themed multi-game Legendary Sword, in which players can double their prizes through unique mechanics with the help of a magic sword.
On the other hand, Fairyland Quest takes players to an enchanted forest where Magic Mushrooms give access to a different bonus each, while a friendly Fairy will give a special bonus that doubles the playing area.
Juan David Baracaldo, Director of Operations and Product, highlighted: “The addition of Zitro’s CONCEPT cabinets is a great step to continue offering unique and high-quality experiences to our players. The unique combination of technology, spectacular graphics, and the experience these cabinets offer will further elevate our casino’s entertainment offering.”
For his part, Johnny Ortiz Viveiros, founder of Zitro, expressed: “We are very excited to strengthen our partnership with Logrand, a strategic partner that shares our vision of providing exceptional gaming experiences. The new CONCEPT cabinets and games like Legendary Sword and Fairyland Quest are just the beginning of what will transform how players enjoy entertainment.”
Sky River Casino has announced that an Elk Grove resident has won a whopping $511,311 while playing progressive blackjack on March 31, 2025. The Sky River Rewards member hit the big win after playing the table game for less than an hour.
“Our progressive table games and slot machines continue to be really hot here at Sky River Casino. Our players have had an impressive number of life-changing jackpots and our winning streak continues. We look forward to the next big win and welcome adults near and far to visit to explore and enjoy our high-energy atmosphere, lively promotions, exciting gaming, and unparalleled dining experiences,” said Michael J. Facenda, President of Sky River Casino.
The lucky local guest plans to use her winnings to renovate a kitchen and build a house back home.
“Without question, the best part of my job is watching our valued members and guests experience jaw dropping wins like this one. We all share in the incredible excitement that is absolutely contagious and can be felt throughout the casino,” said Charleen Ripley, VP of Casino Operations for Sky River Casino.
