William Hill makes deal with PaySafeCard

William Hill, one of the biggest and most reputed names in the gaming industry, has announced a new agreement with PaySafeCard. According to the terms of the deal, William Hill will now be offering the PaySafeCard facility for online transactions and will be accessible for casino, online poker and sportsbook users.

PaySafeCard represents the latest electronic payment system which operates on a pre pay scheme. Vouchers are available for purchase from over 230,000 retail outlets and require a minimum deposit of 10 pounds sterling. The company is based in Vienna, Austria, and has been welcomed as an alternative payment system to that of debt or credit card transactions. In addition, the scheme is expected to meet with acclaim from customers wary of identity fraud. PaySafeCard has been praised since it bypasses the need for customers to enter personal card data online.

The agreement between the two companies will see William Hill make the headlines for the second time this month. Earlier this March, the company announced its relocation to Gibraltar. The move marked a bid to avoid exorbitant government taxation in the hope of enjoying many of the financial benefits enjoyed by other offshore casinos. The agreement with PaySafeCard is yet the latest event to make the news. David Hunter, PaySafeCard CEO, said that the company was "delighted" to have the William Hill Casino as its partner. Calling the deal an "important step for expansion", he went on to say that the agreement will facilitate greater development in both the UK and European market. Eager users of the site will be anxious to test out the advantages of this new system for themselves.
