Okto and Sazka team up for Czech market entry

Okto has entered the Czech market through a strategic partnership with Sazka, enabling the launch of its cash-to-digital payment service, Okto.Cash. This service will be available at over 6,700 retail points within the Sazka network, allowing customers to upload funds to online gaming platforms by depositing cash at these locations.

Vasilis Contoguris, Okto’s Senior International Expansion Manager for cash-to-digital functions, highlighted the significance of this partnership, stating, “This collaboration with Sazka represents a transformative moment for Okto in the region. By enabling consumers to seamlessly top up their iGaming accounts with cash in real-time via an embedded payment solution, we’re delivering on our promise of an exceptional customer experience. This aligns perfectly with our mission and underscores our commitment to innovation and convenience.”

Okto.Cash has already been introduced in several European countries, including Romania, Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Serbia, and Spain. The most recent expansion involved a partnership with Germany’s Bet-at-home, further extending Okto’s presence in the country.

Pavel Vápenka, Sazka’s Sales Director, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, saying, “We are pleased to join hands with Okto to offer our customers a convenient and secure cash top-up solution. This partnership and integration underscore our dedication to enhancing the customer experience by providing easy access to essential services. With Okto’s service integrated into our network, we’re confident that gamers and online operators alike will appreciate the added convenience.”

Plans are in place to expand the number of locations offering Okto.Cash throughout the year, further increasing accessibility for customers. This move is expected to significantly enhance the user experience for iGaming enthusiasts in Czechia, providing a seamless and efficient way to fund their online gaming accounts.

In summary, the partnership between Okto and Sazka marks a significant milestone in the expansion of Okto.Cash, reinforcing the company’s commitment to delivering innovative and convenient payment solutions across Europe. The collaboration is set to benefit both consumers and online gaming operators, driving growth and enhancing the overall gaming experience.
