We're delighted to announce that we’ll further support well-established gambling operator, Pinnacle, in the Ontario market. The announcement comes as we celebrate the one-year milestone of our strategic partnership with Pinnacle facilitating the operator’s expansion in Ontario.
We’re strengthening our longstanding collaboration to increase Pinnacle’s iGaming coverage, building on its advanced payment proposition through our in-house acquiring capabilities and online payment solutions. Pinnacle boasts a wealth of expertise spanning more than two decades as a premier online sportsbook and casino operator. We’re proud to be a key payments partner for Pinnacle, offering dedicated support, pivotal insights and strategic advisory on payments best practices. Our united efforts have contributed to Pinnacle’s successful launch and continued growth in the Ontario market.
As part of this partnership, we’ve enabled Visa Original Credit Transactions (OCTs), while closely collaborating with local issuers to enhance payment acceptance for Pinnacle. Furthermore, we’ve implemented robust risk management protocols that are fully aligned with the regulatory requirements set by Ontario authorities. These protocols encompass the establishment of deposit limits for players and the assurance of the protection of both consumers and operators. These are just two examples demonstrating the comprehensive support that we’ve provided in line with Pinnacle's expansion objectives in the Ontario market.
As part of the collaboration, we process deposits and withdrawals via credit and debit cards for Pinnacle's users in Ontario, guaranteeing a seamless, payment journey across all touchpoints in the payment flow.
