BetVictor launches “quickest cash out in the industry”
New user journey allows punters to cash out in approximately two seconds
BetVictor has launched a new Quick Cash Out function, which it claims is the fastest way in the industry to cash out a bet.
The product, which was developed in-house, puts the option to cash out in a customer’s iPhone Notifications area, which is accessible from the iOS home screen.
BetVictor claims the new journey allows customers to cash out their bet two seconds after making the decision to do so, cutting around six seconds off the old process.
The operator said the product, which is available on iOS phones and tablets, reinforces BetVictor’s commitment to bringing an “intuitive, simple, best-of-breed betting experience to its customers”.
