Paysafe expands Betsson partnership into US sports-betting market
Global iGaming operator’s new Betsafe online sportsbook for Colorado has plugged into Paysafe for suite of traditional and alternative payment solutions
Paysafe, a leading specialized payments platform, today announced its expanded partnership with Betsson Group, the international iGaming operator with multiple online sportsbook and casino brands, including Betsafe. Building on Paysafe’s longstanding payments support for Betsson globally, the company is now providing a range of traditional and alternative payment solutions to the new Betsafe online sportsbook for Colorado.
The extension of Betsson and Paysafe’s payments partnership to the U.S., starting in Colorado, is the latest phase of a partnership that dates back 15 years. Since 2007, Betsson brands have been offering their European players the paysafecard online cash, or eCash, solution, including in major markets such as Sweden, Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark, and Greece. In tandem, Paysafe’s Skrill and NETELLER digital wallets are payment methods for Betsson iGaming brands in 60+ global markets.
Now, with Betsson’s recent launch of its Betsafe mobile sportsbook for Colorado, Paysafe is facilitating Centennial State players’ online credit and debit card deposits. Whether a sports bettor wants to wager on U.S. sports league games or international sports, their card deposit to fund their Betsafe account will be processed seamlessly through Paysafe’s best-in-breed payment gateway.
The Paysafe integration also sees Betsafe able to offer players a comprehensive selection of alternative payment methods (APMs). Colorado sports bettors will be able to use Paysafe’s Skrill USA digital wallet, which underwent a major product upgrade in Q4 2021, to instantly make deposits and receive payouts of their winnings. Alternatively, cash-focused sports bettors will be able to use either of Paysafe’s eCash solutions, paysafecard or Paysafecash, to fund their Betsafe accounts, with both APMs available at thousands of U.S. in-store retailers in Colorado and across the wider U.S.
Zak Cutler, CEO of North America iGaming at Paysafe, said: “We’re delighted to support our longstanding partner Betsson Group’s expansion into the U.S. sports-betting and iGaming space with their Betsafe brand. We have a proven track record facilitating payments for Betsson brands and their players in multiple European and global markets, and we’re confident that we’ll play an equally important customer acquisition and retention role for the operator in Colorado and beyond.”
Marina Bogard, Managing Director US for Betsson Group, commented: “At Betsson, the customer is at the core of everything we do. We aim to make the entire journey on our brands as smooth and convenient as possible, including their deposit and payout experiences. As they have done in other markets, we are confident that Paysafe’s payment solutions will be able to support us with all our needs to achieve our goals.”

SYNOT Games has made further expansion into the Peruvian market through a partnership with Betsafe, one of Betsson Group’s brands. This collaboration underscores SYNOT Games’ commitment to growing its footprint in Latin America and bringing its top-quality, innovative games to a broader audience.

This expansion is set to diversify Betsafe’s gaming options and offer a richer and more varied gaming experience to its customers.
“We are thrilled to broaden our reach in the Peruvian market through our partnership with Betsafe, a top-tier online casino renowned for its strategy of enhancing player experiences. This partnership is crucial to our strategy to engage more players and deliver our unique portfolio across Latin America,” said Martina Krajčí, CCO at SYNOT Games.
Sarah Micallef, Head of Gaming Operations at Betsson Group, said: “Incorporating SYNOT Games’ innovative products into our lineup aligns seamlessly with our commitment to provide our customers with a highly entertaining and secure gaming environment.

A subsidiary of Betsson AB has obtained its first local licenses for the newly regulated market in Peru. The licenses cover online casino and sports betting for the Betsson and Betsafe brands. Further, licenses for the Inkabet brand are expected to be obtained soon.
Betsson began its Latin American venture already in 2008 and has since then positioned itself as the most recognized sports betting brand in Peru. In 2019, the Group further strengthened its position toward the country with the launch of its Betsafe brand. Two years later Inkabet, a Peruvian-facing sports betting and online casino business, was acquired.
Besides the new licenses, the Group holds licenses in two other key markets in the region, Colombia, and Argentina. In Argentina, Betsson holds licenses in Buenos Aires City, Buenos Aires province, and Córdoba.
Pontus Lindwall, President and CEO of Betsson AB, said: “We have really looked forward to Peru introducing a local regulation and are very pleased with the issuing of these licenses. With this announcement, we affirm our commitment to the local economy and the new regulatory framework in the country.”
