Everi FinTech Digital Payments and Loyalty Tools Show Measurable Gains in Casino Engagement

Everi FinTech supplies casino operators with digital funding options that simplify player access to funds and deepen operator relationships. These solutions emphasize choice across payment methods to reduce friction and support loyalty.

Victor Newsom, senior vice president of fintech commercial strategy for IGT, identified the payment ecosystem as essential for loyalty. Michelle Foot, Everi’s vice president of loyalty product management, said the options create a more frictionless experience for patrons and operators alike.

Digital Wallets and Mobile Apps Drive Spend and Data Gains

More than 900 land-based casinos in North America use Everi’s CashClub cash access suite. More than 500 deploy its loyalty programs and more than 40 use the CashClub digital wallet.

Newsom said mobile loyalty app users engage far more than those limited to physical cards. Payment capability added to a mobile loyalty card could increase customer durability and engagement by 5x because users spend money and monitor balances in addition to checking points.

Digital wallets deliver 30 percent more spend on average. Newsom stated this increase draws largely from new customers. For every six digital wallet customers who sign up, five more who had never had a documented financial transaction at the property also enroll. "A wallet consistently drives 30 percent more spend on average to the operators that choose to have wallet, and that 30 percent is not coming at the expense of financial accountability," Newsom said.

Foot added that the integrated ecosystem yields data across product lines to support further engagement.

Regulatory Limits Shape Vi Platform Rollout at Tribal Sites

Everi launched the Vi all-in-one digital wallet, mobile gaming and loyalty solution this year with the Muscogee Nation in Oklahoma, which operates a dozen casinos, and the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation casino in Mayetta, Kan. The deployments produced gains in both loyalty and spending.

Newsom described Vi as an inherently omnichannel wrapper that adapts to the regulatory structure of each jurisdiction. Muscogee Nation permits mobile gaming anywhere on its reservation while Prairie Band restricts it to the casino premises. This variation underscores a limitation: uniform scaling depends on local rules governing mobile and online access.

As detailed by CDC Gaming, the combination of payments, loyalty and mobile creates a continuum across gaming, sports, entertainment and lodging. Operators in competitive markets can capture incremental dollars from rivals through these tools.

The deployments signal that integrated systems deliver concrete lifts, yet broader adoption will track how regulators accommodate expanded omnichannel play.
