US-based sports betting operator Unikrn has entered a partnership with Canadian payment technology company Nuvei Corporation. 

The deal will support card acquiring and over 450 alternative payment methods (APMs) and 150 currencies worldwide, helping Unikrn to expand with the growing popularity of esports betting and online casino gaming. 

Unikrn will be Nuvei’s hosted payments page, Cashier, to process customer transactions globally through a single interface – simplifying the customer journey to deposit and redeem funds. 

Discussing the partnership co-founder of Unikrn, Rahul Sood, said:

“Unikrn offers our global customer base access to an unrivaled spectrum of gaming experiences without interruption. Nuvei was the best option for us to ensure we meet these expectations and offer a platform that will scale with our rapid growth. Cashier makes our customers’ payment journey safe and seamless. We look forward to working with Nuvei for many years to come.”

While managing director of digital payments at Nuvei, Yuval Ziv, added:

“Nuvei’s payment platform offers a complete toolkit for gaming operators looking to diversify and scale their offerings domestically and internationally, along with the global growth of their industry. This new partnership with Unikrn is in line with our vision of an expanding ecosystem of partners that benefits operators and customers alike.”

AYO.NEWS says:

As esports betting rapidly grows in popularity, operators face the added challenge of catering to customers with a dizzying array of different payment methods, currency, and language preferences. Trying to provide options for all of them, while maintaining a seamless and pleasant user experience is not easy, so it’s promising to see Unikrn be proactive and invest in a truly global solution like this. 

Staying with Unikrn, earlier this month the company won EGR’s Esports Operator of the Year award, for the second consecutive year.
