A total of 30 pub sites drawn from a cross-section of PubCos are eagerly waiting to trial the Game Payment cashless app following its successful technical pilot. Although the pilot was truncated by the prime minister’s March 20 Covid-19 instruction to close all pubs with immediate effect, it nonetheless provided the Game Payment system with a robust test of its technology which it passed with flying colours.

“Obviously we were disappointed at having to curtail the pilot for reasons beyond our control, but we were able to monitor the app in real time and in the field operating successfully on both digital and analogue machines” stated bacta Vice-President, Greg Wood, part of the senior team responsible for bringing Game Payment to market. “I am delighted to confirm that the app showed itself to be extremely robust and the pilot served as a vindication of the technology that lies behind it.”

He added: “We demonstrated the app to a number of leading UK and European operators first at EAG and then at ICE London in February.  Since then and partly as a result of the response to Covid-19, the demand for safe and reliable cashless payment solutions has soared and a significant number of our UK contacts have come back to us asking to test across a sample of their pub estates.

“We have also received lots of interest from AGC operators which has resulted in us bringing forward our development plans for this sector by six months.  As the restrictions on lockdown begin to lift, the team is looking forward to implementing the business development plan secure in the knowledge that the Game Payment app has the strongest of technical foundations.”

The Game Payment app underwent its successful pilot following completion of a payment acquiring agreement with one of the top three UK acquirers. The agreement, which was struck in February, represents the first such deal with a tier 1 UK bank for cashless gaming in pubs and other venues and is a testament of the acquirer’s confidence in Game Payment’s business plan, product credentials and financial structure, as well as the team’s ability to manage a gambling e-wallet.
