Regal, a subsidiary of the Merkur Group UK and a leading UK supplier of amusement equipment to the leisure sector, will accept cashless payments directly onto its gaming machines via OKTO.WALLET.
Users of the OKTO.WALLET mobile app are able to deposit and withdraw funds safely, securely and seamlessly directly onto any collaborating gaming machines in the UK leisure sector. The OKTO.WALLET is a fully-licensed payment service, reducing payment friction, enhancing customer experience and focusing on responsible gambling and player protection.
The joint offering is ready to give Britain’s pubs sector a much needed post-lockdown boost by introducing a fully cashless experience tailored to the gaming industry and its players’ demands, increasing customer engagement and footfall.
Pubgoers can embark on this digital journey by downloading for free the OKTO app from the App Store and Google Play and creating an account in just a few minutes.
The OKTO app enables users to move their funds instantly across the entire payment ecosystem; from the gaming machine, the pub’s ordering app, the bartop cashier, all the way out to any retail or online business accepting OKTO Prepaid Mastercard, linked to the OKTO wallet account.
OKTO’s mobile-first solution has easily integrated into Regal’s gaming machines without the need for any additional hardware or upfront costs, securing a level playing field in the retail gaming sector with the rest of the UK high street economy.
OKTO, in line with all major levels of responsible gaming and the latest callings of the UKGC, puts control directly in the hands of the user with powerful age verification, gaming limits and time-out periods tools, as well as with problem gambling helplines available within the app.
OKTO.WALLET is available at selected pubs with further locations being added in the coming weeks and months. Given strong customer demand and amid the Covid-19 situation, OKTO continues to expand its UK wallet through its partnership with Regal. pubgoers. Regal’s gaming machines are able to take advantage of a secure, universal and cashless payment method as it rolls out across the Regal network.
