Gamblers aren’t too complicated when you get down to it. They want to play their favorite games, hopefully win a bunch of money, and collect those winnings quickly. With online gambling, the easy part is giving them a game to play, and the much harder part is making the deposit and withdrawals convenient and fast enough to meet player expectations.
LeoVegas, the Swedish mobile gaming company, is hoping to give their customers a faster way to collect those winnings by introducing Swish as a payment provider. The big question though is, why haven’t they cut out the middleman yet by just accepting Bitcoin SV (BSV)?
Let’s start with Swish. In a press release, LeoVegas said their goal is “to offer the ultimate gaming experience for our customers, and we are now making this even better with the launch of Sweden’s fastest deposit method via Swish.”
The press release notes that 6.7 million Swedes, or 63% of the population, currently use Swish. The January 1 re-regulation of the Swedish gambling market allow LeoVegas the opportunity to work with banks and Swish more closely to make this an option.
