Visa Expands US iGaming Payments Through AptPay Integration

Visa Inc. (V) has expanded its reach in the growing US iGaming payments market through AptPay's planned direct integration of Visa Direct.

The addition of Visa Direct Alias, currently being piloted in the United States, could simplify payouts by allowing users to receive funds using identifiers like phone numbers or email addresses.

Visa's move strengthens its role in real-time money movement and expands its utility beyond traditional card-based transactions. Payouts are a critical part of gaming experience, and faster access to winnings can improve customer satisfaction while reducing friction for operators.
