For operators
For regulated US operators Sightline provides a branded Play+ prepaid wallet that players fund with Visa, Mastercard, PayPal or bank transfer and use for deposits and withdrawals, bypassing card-issuer gambling declines and giving operators a reusable funding account. The cashier funding tile is delivered via the i2c processor and integrates with casino-management systems for land-based and online convergence.
