Okto Expands into Czechia with Sazka Partnership, Launching Cash-to-Digital Payment Service Across 6,700 Locations!

This strategic collaboration centers around the introduction of Okto.Cash, the company’s innovative cash-to-digital payment service. Through this agreement, Okto.Cash will be made available across more than 6,700 points of sale within Sazka’s extensive network throughout the country.

Okto.Cash offers a streamlined and efficient solution for customers looking to fund their online gaming accounts without the need for intermediaries. By utilizing this service, users can directly upload funds to their iGaming apps in real-time, which not only simplifies the process but also enhances the overall user experience. Plans are also in place to expand this service further by adding more points of sale over the course of the year, broadening the reach and accessibility of Okto.Cash in the Czech market.

Vasilis Contoguris, Okto's Senior International Expansion Manager for the cash-to-digital function, expressed his excitement about the partnership, emphasizing its importance for the company’s regional growth. “This partnership with Sazka marks a transformative moment for Okto in the region," he said. "By enabling consumers to seamlessly top up their iGaming accounts with cash in real-time via an embedded payment solution, we're delivering on our promise of an exceptional customer experience. This aligns perfectly with our mission and underscores our commitment to innovation and convenience.”

Okto.Cash has already established a solid presence across Europe, with successful launches in countries such as Romania, Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Serbia, and Spain. The company's most recent partnership in Germany with Bet-at-home further underscores its commitment to expanding its footprint across the continent.

Sazka's Sales Director, Pavel Vápenka, echoed similar sentiments regarding the partnership. "We are pleased to join hands with Okto to offer our customers a convenient and secure cash top-up solution," he said. "This partnership and integration underscore our dedication to enhancing the customer experience by providing easy access to essential services. With Okto's service integrated into our network, we're confident that gamers and online operators alike will appreciate the added convenience.”

As Okto continues its strategic expansion across Europe, its partnership with Sazka signals a bold move into the Czech market, positioning the company to further innovate and improve payment solutions for both customers and operators in the iGaming space.
