Paysafe has launched a new program for its Skrill USA digital wallet across its US operator customers called the VIP player program. 

Rolled out first with the PlayUp USA Sportsbook and building on the recent Skrill USA product upgrade, the VIP program gives enrolled players the highest limits for instantly funding a deposit in US igaming.

After a bettor is onboarded by the operator and Skrill USA into the VIP program, the single transaction limit for an instantly funded deposit is increased by as much as several hundred times the standard limit, depending on the individual KYC verification.

Instant deposits up to the pre-agreed limit can be made once a player has joined the program and linked their bank account to their Skrill USA account, with funds fully guaranteed to PlayUp USA by Skrill.

Skrill USA instant funding takes place 24/7, and deposits are fully automated, with enrolled players also assigned their own Skrill VIP account manager. VIP players can withdraw their winnings from PlayUp USA to their Skrill USA account in real-time, and they can be transferred directly to their linked bank accounts.

“As part of our transformation of Skrill USA into the go-to digital wallet for American igaming, we’re delighted to launch the VIP player program with innovative brand PlayUp USA ahead of a wider roll-out,” stated Zak Cutler, CEO of North America iGaming at Paysafe.

“With VIP players preferring digital wallets over every other payment method, we’re confident that our program and product upgrade will make Skrill USA the preferred wallet of American operators’ VIP customer segments.”

Operating online sportsbooks in Colorado and New Jersey, PlayUp USA was one of multiple operators to upgrade their Skrill USA integration in Q4 2021, supporting instant funding of deposits and payouts.

Kevin Smith, Chief Marketing Officer at PlayUp USA, added: “We take great pride in taking care of our VIPs and the ability to onboard them quickly once they have cleared our due diligence protocols.

“Having a platform like Skrill USA allows us to have very little friction in the deposit process with our VIPs but still be fully compliant with the regulatory standards that are in place.”
