Sightline Payments has teamed up with Cross River, a technology infrastructure provider, to introduce Sightline Debit. This integrated payments solution is specifically designed for the US gaming industry.

Enhancing Gaming Payment Experience

The new system aims to provide an enhanced experience that supports both spending and wagering. By streamlining the withdrawal and deposit processes, it reduces payment costs for operators. Patrons can now access their funds through a FDIC-insured bank account at any time and from anywhere.

According to officials, widespread adoption of Sightline Debit could potentially decrease money churn by 40%, which would save the digital gaming industry up to USD 700 million annually.

Innovative Financial Management

Sightline’s new debit solution redefines the gaming payment ecosystem. By using a demand deposit account (DDA) at Cross River, a Member FDIC bank, customers gain better control over their finances. They can spend more securely and conveniently via a VISA-issued debit card from Cross River. This offers users flexibility and financial autonomy while promoting responsible gambling by helping them stick to their budgets.

Efficient Financial Infrastructure

Cross River’s payment solution, which was launched in May 2025, leverages its proprietary banking core, API technology, and advanced compliance measures. This allows for simple, cost-effective, and efficient cross-border transactions for businesses.

The first phase of the Sightline Debit ecosystem is set to launch in the coming weeks across several digital gaming markets, providing convenience and security for patrons while aiding operators by addressing the issue of churn.
