The biggest and busiest casino in London, Hippodrome Casino, announced a new groundbreaking partnership with OKTO, the digital payments provider. Thanks to the recent agreement announced Wednesday, OKTO.WALLET will now be available as a payment method.

Visitors of the Hippodrome Casino can now leverage the innovative cashless payment method via the Hippodrome Casino Members mobile app. Under the agreement, the Hippodrome Casino Members mobile app becomes the first partner to add OKTO's digital wallet solution in the UK.

As a mobile payment solution, OKTO.WALLET allows customers to complete fast, easy and secure payments in real-time. The innovative solution requires no additional hardware or setup costs while at the same time offering seamless payment experiences.

In a statement released on June 15, 2022, Hippodrome Casino's Director of Online Gaming, George Constantinou, said: "Since opening nearly a decade ago on July 13th, 2012, the Hippodrome is the UK's largest and subsequently most popular casino and entertainment venue has set new standards in everything that it has done and that includes digital payments and the 1st casino membership app that includes a customer wallet."

Constantinou outlined that the OKTO.WALLET will be embedded into the casino's mobile app and will offer safe and secure transactions. Moreover, he pointed out that OKTO offers responsible gambling tools such as age verification and KYC.

Having responsible gambling tools, according to Constantinou, is in line with the Hippodrome's philosophy about safer gambling. He pointed out that such features "are vitally important to progressive brands like the Hippodrome." In conclusion, Constantinou said the Hippodrome is looking forward to collaborating with OKTO and the success the partnership will bring.

He explained that the venue reaffirmed its leadership digitalization position by adding OKTO as a payment method.

Dorsen pointed out that OKTO.WALLET will be embedded within the venue's mobile app as payment method, which will expand the payment options for visitors. In conclusion, he explained: "The proprietary platform meets all the niche demands of gaming customers, allowing users to transfer funds responsibly and enjoy real-time payments."
