MIAMI, Sept. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SafetyPay, the leading digital alternative payment platform providing solutions across Latin America and Europe, today celebrates a partnership with Betcris, Latin America's leading sports betting and iGaming brand. SafetyPay's solution for providing alternative payment methods will allow players to make online deposits and cash payments through banks or cash collection points.

It is projected that the global online gambling market will be valued at more than $92.9 billion USD in 2023, almost doubling the current market size: $59 billion USD (source).
