OKTO has marked its foray into the Czech Republic market after landing a partnership with native lottery company Sazka.
The Czech lottery and point-of-sale network provider will collaborate on varying innovative payment solutions, such as OKTO.CASH, the company’s cash-to-digital payment service for gaming players.
OKTO.CASH will now be accessible across Sazka’s network of over 6,700 points of sale, with additional locations slated for the end of the year. Sazka is the oldest lottery company in the Czech Republic and is the first e-merchant to integrate OKTO’s payment solutions.
Pavel Vápenka, Sales Director of Sazka, stated: “We are pleased to join hands with OKTO to offer our customers a convenient and secure cash top-up solution. This partnership and integration underscore our dedication to enhancing the customer experience by providing easy access to essential services.
“With OKTO’s service integrated into our network, we’re confident that gamers and online operators alike will appreciate the added convenience.”
OKTO’s expansion into the Czech Republic follows OKTO.CASH launches in Romania, Greece, Germany, Cyprus, Italy, Serbia, and Spain.
The company’s cash-to-digital service embeds into merchant apps or websites, enabling users a fast and direct method to upload funds online, eliminating the need for third-party apps.
In the coming months, several online operators are poised to offer OKTO’s eVoucher payment method to users, falling in line with OKTO’s aim to deliver a payment experience to elevate the gambling payment journey.
Vasilis Contoguris, OKTO’s Senior International Expansion Manager for cash-to-digital function, added: “This partnership with Sazka marks a transformative moment for OKTO in the region.
“By enabling consumers to seamlessly top up their iGaming accounts with cash in real-time via an embedded payment solution, we’re delivering on our promise of an exceptional customer experience. This aligns perfectly with our mission and underscores our commitment to innovation and convenience.”
