Check out this interview with Sightline Payments' Dallas Holmes on how Sightline’s digital payments offerings enhance responsible gaming in this interview with Casey Gonzales at CDC Gaming Reports. 

The demand for easy access to personal funds has surged over the past few decades, with patrons wanting to pay when, where, and how they choose. While cashless payments may seem like a new trend, they've actually been around for decades in the form of Ticket-In, Ticket-Out (TITO). Introduced in the early 2000s, TITO streamlined the gaming experience but kept a cash element due to patron preferences. Since then, various iterations of cashless gaming have emerged. However, until recently, general banking and payment technologies weren't fully ready, and patron behavior hadn't yet shifted. Fast forward to today—everyone relies on their mobile phones, and patrons use them in ways we only dreamt of in the early 2000s. Patrons are able to utilize their mobile phones to digitally pay for their travel, stay, F&B, entertainment, and shopping, but are limited when it comes to funding their gaming. Now is the perfect time for casinos to embrace the future with digital wallets and integrated cashless solutions. At Sightline, we lead the charge in this transformation, offering cutting-edge technology that meets modern demands. Contact us today to create a seamless, innovative, and cashless gaming experience. #GamingInnovation #CashlessCasino #DigitalWallets #SightlineSolutions #FutureOfGaming #IntegratedPayments

At Sightline, innovation isn't just about advancing technology—it's about enhancing the entire patron experience. Today, we're spotlighting Dallas Holmes, our Director of Customer Care & Training, as he shares his insights on how we're supporting responsible gambling initiatives. "Responsible gambling is always a key consideration for us," says Dallas. "Our cutting-edge digital payment technology for gaming operators isn't just about convenience—it's about creating transparency and empowering both patrons and operators." “Our technology offers near real-time visibility into spending behaviors and patterns, enabling patrons and operators to make informed decisions. Unlike cash transactions, our digital payments are tied to individual users through bank-level KYC requirements, allowing operators to monitor risky behaviors and provide support to those in need.” At Sightline, we're not just changing the game; we're making it safer and more responsible for everyone. #ResponsibleGambling #Innovation #RGEM2024
