eVoucher by CashtoCode offers instant deposits via a simple code, similar to an ecommerce gift voucher. It can be bought online from several large international platforms, and redeemed at a number of igaming operators (now including Pinnacle). For operators, it is a straightforward new deposit option that allows them to go live in multiple regions at the same time. Existing CashtoCode partners can also enable CashtoCode eVoucher via their existing integration. For players, it is a seamless and secure payment experience that ensures funds arrive in their igaming accounts instantly.

“We are very excited about the potential of our eVoucher solution for the global igaming market,” said CashtoCode CEO, Jens Bader. “It enables operators to go live in multiple, distinct regions at the same time, all with a single solution. For customers, it is an incredibly reliable and secure deposit option, while also being very easy to use.”

“We strive to be innovators in the igaming industry, and were among the first operators to recognise the esports opportunity back in 2010,” said Isabelle Delisle, Global Head of Payment Solutions at Pinnacle. “Therefore, it is important for us to find the right technology and payment partners to maintain this position across different markets and demographics, and we are confident we have found that in CashtoCode. We want to give our players more choice and we believe that they will appreciate the ability to make payments instantly online via a simple eVoucher code – a customer journey familiar to millions around the world.”
