Paysafe expands U.S. partnership with PointsBet into Michigan

Paysafe enters Arkansas iGaming market with BetSaracen

 

Paysafe payments technology supports new Michigan sportsbook brand’s growth as deal with global operator extends into sixth U.S. state

 Paysafe, a leading specialized payments platform, today announced the expansion of its partnership with PointsBet, the premier global sportsbook operator that recently launched its online sports-betting brand in Michigan. PointsBet, which already uses Paysafe’s payment processing services in five other regulated U.S. states, adds Michigan to the list of markets supported through the deal.

Founded in Australia, PointsBet made its U.S. debut in 2019 after receiving approval from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) and partnering with the state’s Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford. As a byproduct of PointsBet’s best-in-class technology infrastructure, the sportsbook operator offers unique features in addition to traditional fixed odds wagering, such as a spread betting model dubbed “PointsBetting”. PointsBet is currently live in six states – Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and New Jersey. The operator’s partnership with Paysafe extends across all these jurisdictions.

Through its latest integration with Paysafe, PointsBet allows Michigan-based customers to easily deposit funds using credit and debit cards, processed through Paysafe’s best-in-breed payment network, as well as ACH bank transfer via checking and savings accounts. Similar depositing methods are also available across the other five states in which PointsBet is active.

The deal also sees Paysafe expand its role in the U.S. iGaming space, where the provider has announced several recent partnerships and is focused on sustained growth as more states continue to regulate. Michigan is the most recent of these states, having launched its online market on January 22nd, following authorization from its Gaming Control Board, and bringing in $115.2 million in online wagers during its first 10 days, according to the regulator.

 

PointsBet has already cemented its leadership role in the U.S. market, becoming an official sports betting partner of all four major U.S. leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB, & NHL), in addition to groundbreaking deals with NBC Sports and Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, to highlight a few. The cutting-edge sportsbook operator also won three 2020 EGR North America Awards for Sports Betting Operator, Socially Responsible Operator and U.S. Rising Star, respectively.

Gregory Kirstein, Director of Business Development for iGaming at Paysafe, said: “With its innovative mindset and dedication to providing a high quality sports-betting experience, PointsBet has established a frontrunner status in the rapidly expanding U.S. iGaming market. We look forward to building on an already fruitful relationship by supporting the Michigan launch through our payment processing services, which streamline the customer payments journey and drive long-term loyalty.”

1/ST and Goodwood Racecourse announce Group 1 pathways between the United Kingdom and North America

Published

on

1/ST, North America’s preeminent Thoroughbred racing and pari-mutuel wagering company, and Goodwood Racecourse, one of the United Kingdom’s leading racecourses, today announce a new initiative that will see a reciprocal partnership between 1/ST-owned racecourses in North America and Goodwood Racecourse in the United Kingdom.

This exciting new partnership will see horses gain automatic entry following success at the Pegasus World Cup meeting at Gulfstream Park on January 25, and at Goodwood Racecourse’s world-famous five-day festival, the Qatar Goodwood Festival presented by Visit Qatar.

The Pegasus World Cup Turf winner in 2025 will be granted automatic entry to the 2025 running of the Qatar Sussex Stakes. Likewise, the victor of the 2025 Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf will gain automatic entry to the Qatar Nassau Stakes in 2025.

Additionally, the winner of this year’s £1m, Group 1 Qatar Sussex Stakes will gain automatic entry to the Pegasus World Cup Turf in 2026 and the winner of the Group 1 Qatar Nassau Stakes will gain automatic entry to the Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf in 2026.

This new partnership will create an easily accessible pathway for horses to compete both in North America and the United Kingdom and help to encourage top-tier racehorses to travel and increase international participation at both fixtures – while also bolstering elite fields for global audiences and deeper fan engagement.

Aidan Butler, President of 1/ST, 
said: “Thanks again to our friends at Goodwood Racecourse as our partnership enters its second year. We can’t wait to see how our Pegasus World Cup Turf winners fare on the other side of the pond and look forward to welcoming the victors of the Qatar Sussex Stakes and Qatar Nassau Stakes back to Gulfstream Park in late January 2026 for one of the most lucrative racedays on the East Coast.

“These reciprocal pathways mark the latest strides in 1/ST’s bid to broaden the appeal and international participation in the world’s major races. We’ve already seen such incentives reap immediate rewards when Crimson Advocate won at Royal Ascot in 2023, having punched her automatic spot via our Royal Palm juvenile series at Gulfstream Park. Now, Miami can hopefully work its magic again with the Qatar Goodwood Festival!”

Edward Arkell, Director of Racing at Goodwood Racecourse, added: “We are thrilled to announce this fantastic new initiative, and I would like to thank 1/ST for their enthusiasm and support. By pairing two of our most prestigious races with a pair of turf races at the Pegasus World Cup meeting, we are confident that we have unlocked a well-scheduled gateway.

“This partnership also highlights the importance of collaborating with the best horseracing in the World and allows us the opportunity to showcase the obvious benefits of working alongside the North American horseracing circuit.”
