Sightline Payments has partnered with Mastercard to launch Play+ Mastercard card, which will allow players to pay for gaming and no-gaming activities.

Players will be able to pre-load the card for use in their non-gaming activities, sports betting, online gaming, and casino wagering accounts.

Mastercard’s tokenisation technology provides a unique token in place of the physical card number, which is available to merchants that requested it.

Sightline Payments co-CEO Joe Pappano said: “The foundation of Play+ is to provide customers with a safe, secure and responsible payments experience to fund their gaming and entertainment.

“Our collaboration with Mastercard will further cement that goal and we look forward to working together to enhance payment options within the gaming industry and further the digital transformation of the consumer experience.”

The first Play+ Mastercard have been rolled out by Sightline at Resorts World Las Vegas.

Mastercard executive vice-president of products & innovation for North America Chiro Aikat commented: “As consumers increasingly seek digital-first experiences, we’re pleased to partner with Sightline to enable a fully digital engagement for the patrons at Resorts World Las Vegas leveraging our tokenisation capabilities and innovative card solutions.”
