LAS VEGAS (February 25, 2025) – Leading gaming fintech company Sightline Payments® celebrates its 15th year and announces the completion of a recapitalization process that fully enables Sightline to revolutionize the gaming industry through innovative financial technology solutions.
Most major Sightline investors recommitted to the business through the recapitalization process, including Cannae Holdings, NRT Technology, Genting, Founding Investor Walter Kortschak, co-Founders Harry Hagerty and Diran Kludjian, and Point Break Capital Management, amongst others. The reconstituted Sightline Board of Directors will also include NRT Founder and CEO John Dominelli and President Michael Dominelli.
Throughout its 15 year history, Sightline has delivered many groundbreaking payments innovations in gaming including supporting the first online gaming transactions in New Jersey in 2013, the first mobile sports betting payment transactions in Nevada in 2014, the first floor-wide cashless gaming at a Tribal casino in 2015, and the first cashless casino transactions in Nevada in 2021. These innovations have helped fuel the rise of the $30 billion U.S. digital gaming industry and advanced omnichannel payments across all gaming verticals. Today, Sightline supports more than 70 partners across the casino, digital, horse racing and lottery industries in 44 states.
“As the gaming industry continues to change, we at Sightline want to focus on what we do best – payments innovation,” said Sightline co-Founder and CEO Omer Sattar. “This enables us to continue to deliver on our 15 year legacy, and I can’t wait to bring some of the innovations we see across the fintech marketplace to gaming.
