Mohegan Digital, the iGaming division of Mohegan, has announced its partnership with PayNearMe, selecting the fintech company's MoneyLine platform as its payment provider for online gaming operations in Pennsylvania.

This collaboration aims to enhance the deposit and withdrawal experience for players while ensuring regulatory compliance.

With PayNearMe's MoneyLine platform, Mohegan Digital will gain access to a range of payment options through a single integration. This includes debit and credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, Guaranteed ACH and cash at retail locations.

Rich Roberts, President of Mohegan Digital, commented: “To differentiate our brand in the Pennsylvania online gaming market, we knew we needed to offer players the most deposit and payout options immediately at launch.

“PayNearMe's MoneyLine platform allows us to stay competitive while saving our product team the significant time and cost that would have been required to integrate multiple payment types and channels.”

In addition to facilitating deposits and withdrawals, MoneyLine offers fraud and risk prevention capabilities to safeguard player transactions.

Mohegan Digital will also benefit from access to PayNearMe's Insights dashboard, allowing them to gain insights into player payment behaviour.

Leighton Webb, VP and General Manager of iGaming and Sports Betting at PayNearMe, stated: “PayNearMe is thrilled to be selected as the exclusive payment platform provider for Mohegan Digital's online gaming offering in Pennsylvania.

“Our commitment is to help operators get to market quickly with the payment types and optimisation tools they need to deliver a great player experience. We look forward to supporting Mohegan Digital's growth as they expand their online gaming presence.”

In related news, PayNearMe recently conducted a study that revealed that 29% of players reported payment issues within iGaming platforms.
