Paysafe digital wallet continues 2020 U.S. expansion by extending global Betfred Group partnership to American sportsbook subsidiary

Paysafe, a leading specialized payments platform, today announced a new partnership for its Skrill digital wallet with Betfred USA Sports, the wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of U.K.-based bookmaker Betfred Group. Building on Skrill’s long-standing payments support for Betfred internationally, the digital wallet has been added as a payment method to Betfred USA Sports’ recently launched mobile and online sportsbook for the Iowa market.

The Betfred USA Sports deal is the latest Skrill move in its ongoing expansion in the U.S. this year, following the launches of the Skrill Visa® Prepaid Card In January, the Skrill Money Transfer solution, and the Skrill Knect loyalty program, both in June. Skrill’s recent U.S. growth responds to increasing consumer demand for digital wallets, used by over a third of Americans (36%) at least monthly in Q2, according to Paysafe’s research.

Against this backdrop, Betfred USA Sports’ customers in Iowa can now benefit from the speed, security and reliability of a mobile-responsive digital wallet. Skrill’s two-decade history serving sportsbooks, including Betfred Group’s European brands since 2006, also ensures a strong wagering experience.

After uploading funds to their Skrill account via multiple options (bank and card transfer, iACH and eCash solutions), players can use the digital wallet to seamlessly make a deposit on betfredsports.com’s Iowa-facing online platform, which launched in July with the land-based Grand Falls Casino & Golf Resort. Players can then wager on a comprehensive range of sports, spanning pro and college football, basketball, American and overseas baseball leagues, hockey, soccer, and mixed martial arts, among others.

Winnings can be withdrawn directly into players’ Skrill accounts. Once safely deposited, funds can be transferred in real time to customers’ bank accounts or withdrawn directly as cash at an ATM via the Skrill Visa® Prepaid Card, which syncs directly with their wallet balance. Funds can also be sent to family and friends overseas using Skrill Money Transfer.

Lorenzo Pellegrino, CEO of Skrill, NETELLER, and Income Access at Paysafe, said: “As part of our broader American expansion this year, we’re delighted to extend Skrill’s global partnership with Betfred to support Betfred USA Sports’ growth in Iowa and beyond. We’re confident that our digital wallet, which has been developed specifically for online gaming, will provide Betfred USA Sports and its players with a payment method that streamlines, simplifies and ultimately improves the wagering experience.”

Bryan Bennett, Chief Operating Officer of Betfred USA Sports, commented: “Funding accounts with multiple deposit methods sets us apart from other competitors. Skrill gives our players more flexibility by supporting popular international and local payment providers.”

Tonybet says a player in Laurier-Station, Canada has claimed the “golden card” prize worth $20,000 CAD in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection. The announcement was made Tuesday 21st July 2026.

The World Cup collection featured 51 cards in total, including 48 digital cards representing participating World Cup nations, plus three unique prize cards in bronze, silver and gold. Tonybet said the bronze card—available during the group stage—was previously found by a customer in Saint-Colomban, Canada, while the silver card—available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals—was won by a player in County Kildare, Ireland.

The golden card became available for the semi-final, third-place play-off and final, and has now been claimed, Tonybet said.

Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “You can plan a campaign down to the last detail, but you can’t plan what the World Cup brings.

“We designed the collection to evolve with the tournament, and every knockout round created new stories we couldn’t have predicted. Seeing players complete their collections and discovering who would uncover each prize was the most rewarding part of the campaign.

“I hope everyone enjoyed the experience for what it was meant to be: a fun addition to the tournament, played responsibly and always within their limits.”

Tonybet said the collection will remain open until 31 July for players who are still completing sets and spending coins, although all grand prizes have been awarded.

Supplier secures AGLC registration and extends its Canadian footprint beyond Ontario, where it has been live since 2022.

Greentube has gone live in Alberta on the day the province opened as a newly regulated iGaming market, marking the supplier’s first launch in the jurisdiction.

The NOVOMATIC Digital Gaming and Entertainment division said it completed regulatory and technical due diligence and secured registration with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) commission to operate in the province. Alberta becomes only the second Canadian province to regulate iGaming after Ontario, with the new framework replacing the monopoly previously held by Play Alberta.

The Alberta launch builds on Greentube’s existing Canadian footprint. The company has been live in Ontario since 2022 and described the Alberta debut as part of its wider North American expansion strategy.

Greentube said Alberta players will initially have access to a curated set of titles including Piggy Prizes™ Wand of Riches 2™, Rumble Riches™ Haulin’ Gold™ and Firecracker Frenzy™ Money Toad™, as well as Silver Lux Big Win Spinner, Starlight Jackpots™ Captain’s Catch™ and Charming Lady’s Boom™.

David Bolas, Commercial Director at Greentube, said: “Going live in Alberta on the day the market opens is an important step for Greentube and reflects the strong momentum we are seeing in Canada.

“We welcome the opportunity a new jurisdiction offers and look forward to working with locally licensed operators to introduce our established offering to players in Alberta. With a balanced line-up of new releases and proven performers, we are well placed to offer a compelling experience in the province and support our long-term ambitions in the region.”
