Cryptos also allow to pay in casinos

The use of cryptocurrency has increased in recent months as much as this type of means of payment is democratizing. A brand new partnership recently concluded between FinTech Deblock and the leading group of Partouche casinos has expanded its scope. Cryptoactive holders will now also be able to use their cryptos to pay for their bets at casinos.

FACTS

• Deblock offers an innovative service model combining current account and wallet crypto. But it will now also be able to boast to allow the players customers of Partouche casinos to pay their bets in cryptocurrency.

• FinTech has partnered with the Partouche group to offer its new service, which represents, in form, an extension of the uses of cryptoactives in the real world.

• The digital assets concerned are Bitcoin, Ether, Solana and Stablecoins. And the first step with regard to the deployment of this new service concerns the Pasino Grand casino of Aix in Provence.

• Customers of Partouche casinos will later be able to use their Deblock Wallet or other crypto swap wallets and platforms to play. Thanks to a solution specifically designed for the Partouche group by Deblock, casinos from which these payments will be made will receive a classic bank transfer without having to manage digital assets.

• About ten casinos from the Partouche group will be affected by this deployment by this summer.

ISSUES

• Extend (still) its ambitions : Deblock marked the news at the end of 2024 obtaining PSAN approval, becoming the first FinTech to receive this approval in France. It relies on this new status to justify the seriousness of its offer. This recognition has also enabled him to extend his model in proposing a decline in its offer to professionals last January.

• Innovating its market : The Partouche group will be able to boast of being among the pioneers of its market by accepting cryptocurrency. Apart from some embryonic initiatives, European physical casinos do not yet offer this type of service. Other examples exist in the United States; on Circa Resort & Casino includes Bitcoin transactions for years (a service now extended to Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Tether).

PERSPECTIVE

• Deblock is not the only French FinTech involved today in the democratization of cryptocurrency usage.
  French startup Lyzi It is also ardently focused on this task by signing a multitude of partnerships in recent years to facilitate the integration of cryptocurrency into habits.

• It is thus close to the major distributors (Beaugrenelle shopping centre in Paris or Spring), but also car manufacturers like the group LG. More recently, it is on the theme of Regulation transport tickets that Fintech has chosen to diversify.
