Paysafe, a leading specialized payments platform, today announced the appointment of Scot McClintic as SVP, iGaming Product & Strategy. The appointment builds on Paysafe’s ongoing commitment to specializing in the fast-growing iGaming and sports betting markets which continue to demonstrate significant potential; in the U.S. alone, Paysafe estimates that iGaming deposit volumes could grow from $3.4bn in 2019 to $24bn by 2025.¹

Reporting into Ben Dalfen, Paysafe’s EVP, U.S. iGaming, McClintic has responsibility for collaborating closely with Paysafe’s iGaming, iLottery and sports betting merchants and partners to further strengthen Paysafe’s market leading iGaming product portfolio.

Designed to allow customers to scale rapidly as the U.S. market continues to open up, Paysafe’s expanding iGaming product suite is also fully integrated into a unified, and fully configurable, payments platform which merchants can seamlessly access via a single API plug-in. The Paysafe payments platform is designed to offer a wide range of both traditional and emerging payments options, such as its Skrill digital wallet and its paysafecard eCash solution, as well as extensive back office support including anti-fraud and risk management services and in-depth data reporting.

McClintic brings to the position over a decade’s experience in strategic business development, product ownership and market analysis, with a strong focus as a licensed operator in the U.S. iGaming space. His most recent role was Chief Product Officer and General Manager at Penn National Gaming’s Barstool Sportsbook & iCasino, an online and mobile sports betting and casino brand. Prior positions include Principal, Strategic Development and M&A at Comcast-NBCUniversal, where he co-founded the company’s sports betting operator strategy. Before that, he held leadership positions at Acumen Fiscal Agent, NRG Energy and Bloomberg.

Dalfen said: “Scot is a savvy, well-connected and highly customer-centric leader and we’re delighted he is joining the team to spearhead the next stage of our iGaming expansion strategy. He will be a great asset to our growing team as we continue to invest in our specialized products and services and consolidate our position as the payments partner of choice in the iGaming and sports betting markets.”

Supplier says its slot content is live across most tier-one Alberta brands, extending its Canadian footprint to three provinces.

1X2 Network has gone live in Alberta, launching with seven operators in the province’s newly regulated iGaming market.

The supplier said the rollout covers the majority of Alberta’s tier-one brands. It added that its content has secured homepage placement across operator lobbies since the market opened, with Iron Dog Studio’s 3 Hot Chilli Peppers featuring on the homepages of most operators in the province.

The Alberta launch follows 1X2 Network’s existing presence in Ontario and Quebec. The company said Alberta will be treated as a core market for future game releases, with new titles included in its ongoing release schedule for the province.

Kevin Reid, Chief Executive Officer at 1X2 Network, said: “Going live in Alberta with seven operators is a fantastic start and a real milestone in our North American journey.

“North America is a primary focus for us this year, and Alberta is now a core market for everything we release. We’re excited to build on this momentum as we expand further across the region.”

1X2 Network has deepened its commitment to North America by going live in Alberta, launching with seven operators in the province’s newly regulated iGaming market. The rollout spans the majority of Alberta’s tier-one brands and reinforces the supplier’s decision to make the region a primary focus for the year ahead.

Since the market opened, 1X2 Network content has secured prominent homepage placement across operator lobbies, giving its studios immediate visibility with Albertan players from day one. Leading the way is Iron Dog Studio’s 3 Hot Chilli Peppers, the network’s flagship title, which currently features on the homepages of most operators in the province.

The launch builds on the momentum 1X2 Network has established in Ontario and Quebec, where its content has resonated strongly with local players. On the back of that success, the supplier has confirmed Alberta as a core market for all future game releases, ensuring new titles reach Albertan players as part of its ongoing release schedule.

Alberta represents the latest step in a wider North American growth strategy, with its Canadian presence now spanning three provinces.

Kevin Reid, Chief Executive Officer at 1X2 Network, said: “Going live in Alberta with seven operators is a fantastic start and a real milestone in our North American journey.

“North America is a primary focus for us this year, and Alberta is now a core market for everything we release. We’re excited to build on this momentum as we expand further across the region.”
