Paysafe and FuboTV stocks rose separately 3.8% and 1.7% in premarket trading after Paysafe streamlining payments for interactive wagering with Fubo Gaming in US.
Paysafe(NYSE: PSFE), a leading specialized payments platform, today announced a partnership with Fubo Gaming, the Chicago-based subsidiary of leading sports-first live TV streaming platform fuboTV Inc.(NYSE: FUBO). Expected to launch in Q4 2021 subject to obtaining requisite regulatory approvals, Fubo Gaming’s mobile sportsbook, Fubo Sportsbook, will plug into Paysafe for credit and debit card payments, the Skrill USA digital wallet, and paysafecard and Paysafecash eCash solutions.
Through Paysafe’s best-in-breed payment gateway, Fubo Sportsbook users will be able to seamlessly fund a deposit via credit card, debit card or ACH bank transfer from a checking or savings account. Bettors will also be able to use Skrill USA to make rapid and secure deposits from their digital wallet account into their Fubo Sportsbook account.
