Paysafe has launched a new programme for its Skrill USA digital wallet that caters to American online gamblers. 

The new programme, which has been first rolled-out with the PlayUp USA sportsbook, operates online sportsbooks in Colorado and New Jersey, was one of multiple operators to upgrade their Skrill USA integration in Q4 2021, when Paysafe rolled-out the revamped digital wallet to support instant funding of deposits and payouts. Now, PlayUp USA becomes the first American iGaming brand to offer Skrill USA’s new VIP player programme, according to Fintech Finance.

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

After joining the programme and linking their bank account to their Skrill USA account, a player can make an instant deposit up to their pre-agreed limit, with funds fully guaranteed to PlayUp USA by Skrill. Skrill USA instant funding can be actioned 24/7, including on weekends. Deposits are fully automated, though enrolled players are assigned their own dedicated 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.
