LAS VEGAS, June 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sightline Payments, a FinTech company specializing in digital payments solutions for the sports betting and casino markets, today announced the acquisition of JOINGO®, the leading mobile engagement and loyalty platform for the casino gaming industry.

JOINGO’s patented mobile loyalty platform allows casino brands to reach their mobile users with highly personalized and interactive mobile marketing campaigns that drive increased reach, loyalty, and revenue.

The acquisition provides Sightline the ability to offer casino customers a turn key cashless gaming solution as well as a broader suite of products to help North American casinos enhance loyalty and personalization for customers, and drive increased visitation and loyalty for properties.

“This acquisition positions Sightline to provide a more robust digital payments experience in casinos,” said Joe Pappano, CEO of Sightline Payments. “We know that enhancing a guest’s mobile experience is the key to cashless gaming adoption in casinos. We welcome JOINGO’s talented team to Sightline to further strengthen our ability to empower the digital transformation of the consumer experience.”
