William Hill and PaySafeCard Join Forces

William Hill has signed an agreement with PaySafeCard in a major move for the online bookmaker and gambling giant.

Under the agreement, the PaySafeCard option can now be used for all William Hill products, such as its sportsbook, casino and online poker services.

Based in the Austrian capital Vienna, PaySafeCard is an electronic payment option based on a pre-pay system that provides a secure method of placing deposits at online casinos. It operates through vouchers that are available for purchase from more than 230,000 outlets. Players can deposit as little at 10 British pounds using the vouchers.

PaySafeCard CEO David Hunter hailed the move, saying: "We are delighted to have WilliamHill.com as a partner. The cooperation is an important step for expansion in the UK and throughout Europe."

About the Deal
William Hill's online service has customers from more than 175 countries, and operates in six different languages and 11 different currencies.

The introduction of the PaySafeCard option will give it even more appeal, as it will bring in online casino players who do not have a credit or debit card or who do not wish to submit their credit card details online because of fear of identity theft.

The agreement caps off a huge month for William Hill, which earlier in August confirmed that it was moving its online betting services and fixed-odds games from the United Kingdom to its headquarters in Gibraltar.
