Convenience store payment terminal network is to provide new PokerStars customer top-up service

Payzone UK has announced a new partnership with the world’s largest online poker site, PokerStars, to provide its customers with account top-ups.

The payment provider said the deal marks its significant expansion into the gaming sector, with PokerStars top-ups available on the 20,000 terminals in Payzone’s nationwide estate.

The partnership will allow customers to top up their online PokerStars account by entering a unique code from a top-up voucher purchased at a Payzone outlet.

Expanding convenience retail offer

Mark Mellor, sales director at Payzone, said this signing of its first gaming client would ensure future opportunities in this sector. “The partnership is testament to our ongoing commitment to ensure new products are regularly added to the Payzone terminal and our retailers will earn commission on every transaction.”

Richard Connolly, PokerStars business development manager, added: “It’s great to be able to offer our existing and new customers an additional convenient payment method. Not all customers have, or want to use, a personal bank account for online transactions, so being able to buy top-ups offline is essential. Payzone’s terminals are easily accessible for our customers across the country and we’re confident it will be a successful partnership.”
