This is the latest move by a European operator to ensure players are no longer left waiting to receive their winnings.

Using TrueLayer Payments, integrated with Bragg Gaming’s Player Account Management (PAM) iGaming platform, BetCity can now instantly and securely push funds to the player’s account.

Robert Kooiman, Marketing Director at BetCity said: “Today, it takes more than cash incentives to keep players coming back - customer experience is key. While players in the Netherlands are used to instant pay-ins, payouts have always been problematic, with traditional bank transfers taking up to 3 days to reach customers. Our players have told us they want fast payouts and our partnership with TrueLayer means we can now deliver it.”

Research by TrueLayer and YouGov suggests instant payouts could help operators win and keep more customers: 1 in 4 players (28%) surveyed in Europe said they would consider depositing more if they could withdraw their winnings instantly and more than half said they were likely to switch to a online gaming service that offers instant withdrawals.

Ted Stanley, TrueLayer Country Manager - Netherlands, said: “Nowadays, players are used to doing everything in an instant — but after the thrill of the win, they’re often left waiting days to reap their rewards. In an increasingly competitive landscape, instant payouts are becoming a must-have for European operators. We’re delighted to partner with BetCity to bring open banking technology to payouts, delivering an instant experience for players.”
