As per the agreement, EML is supposed to provide the players of PointsBet a user-friendly Reloadable card so that the players can send funds into their gaming account as well as the innovative product that supports instant access to winnings. Based on the regulatory approvals, it is expected that in the second half of FY2019, the initial program will be launched in New Jersey. In May 2018, the Supreme Court has passed its decision to allow the states to legalize sports betting. There are 6 states who have already passed the legislation. Still, there are 22 states who are moving ahead towards legalization. Both the companies will be working together as a partner. EML and PointsBet will work together as a partner throughout the USA since PointsBet has obtained licenses for regular sports betting in the states of USA.

Brandon Thompson who is the Chief Commercial Officer, EML Payments said that working as a partner with PointsBet will enable EML to drive customer engagement in the USA. The company has many long-term opportunities in the upcoming years as well.

The company has provided a constant experience that is already proven in other countries as well.
