LONDON (Alliance News) - SafeCharge International Group Ltd Thursday said it has launched a PokerStars-branded prepaid MasterCard that allows UK poker players to withdraw and deposit directly to their bank account.
The payment technology provider said StarsCard was initially made available to UK players on April 16 and will roll out into international markets in the future.
The StarsCard provides a free web and mobile account for PokerStars players that can be funded by vouchers, bank transfer or debit card, and will be managed by SafeCharge Card Services Ltd, the Dublin-based issuing and programme management division of SafeCharge.
"StarsCard allows PokerStars customers to have a single point of deposit that combines all the convenience of existing options but with additional features for cashing out, spending and sending money to friends and family. StarsCard can be used anywhere MasterCard is accepted," SafeCharge said in a statement.
Shares in SafeCharge opened up 1.1% at 275.00 pence Thursday morning.
