i2c, Sightline partner to deliver cashless, mobile + omnichannel gaming, entertainment
February 26, 2020
i2c Inc., a provider of payment and open banking technology, and Sightline Payments, a provider of commerce solutions, have teamed to deliver cashless, mobile and omnichannel custom commerce programs to more than 45 gaming resort operators, state lotteries, digital gaming and sports betting sites across eight states in the U.S., according to a press release. Sightline customers include MGM Resorts, Caesars Resorts and Hard Rock Hotel and Casino; the Oregon and Pennsylvania state lotteries; Churchill Downs; as well as Golden Nugget online, DraftKings, FanDuel, William Hill and Rush Street sports, among others. Sightline will expand programming into Canada this year.
Traditionally, casinos and digital gaming and sports betting have been cash-only industries. Sightline built a platform to deliver Play+, a cashless solution for gaming operators, to move funds electronically and in real time between tables, slots and kiosks, using the i2c agile processing platform and APIs.
A reloadable stored value card for VIP guests provides them immediate access to winnings, which they can use on any service (gaming, hospitality, entertainment and ATMs) at the resort, online and in brick-and-mortar retail worldwide.
Sightline recently added Smart Money, a program that supports guests’ use of their iOS and Android mobile devices at retailers. A Sightline payment gateway enables others in the industry to integrate their channels into the cashless ecosystem.
