OKTO.CASH, the company's groundbreaking cash-to-digital payment service tailored for registered gaming players, is now accessible across Sazka's extensive network of over 6,700 points of sale, with additional locations slated for integration by year-end. The first e-merchant is already benefiting from the service, with many more expected to follow throughout the year.
"This partnership with Sazka marks a transformative moment for OKTO in the region," remarked Vasilis Contoguris, OKTO’s Senior International Expansion Manager for cash-to-digital function. "By enabling consumers to seamlessly top up their iGaming accounts with cash in real-time via an embedded payment solution, we're delivering on our promise of an exceptional customer experience. This aligns perfectly with our mission and underscores our commitment to innovation and convenience."
Sazka, known for its expansive network of POS locations, is equally enthusiastic about this collaboration. Pavel Vápenka, Sales Director from Sazka expressed, "We are pleased to join hands with OKTO to offer our customers a convenient and secure cash top-up solution. This partnership and integration underscore our dedication to enhancing the customer experience by providing easy access to essential services. With OKTO's service integrated into our network, we're confident that gamers and online operators alike will appreciate the added convenience."
OKTO's expansion into the Czech Republic follows successful OKTO.CASH launches in Romania, Greece, Germany, Cyprus, Italy, Serbia, and Spain. The company's cash-to-digital service, seamlessly embedded into merchant apps or websites, gives users the fastest and most direct method to upload funds online, eliminating the need for third-party apps.
