LAS VEGAS --7-Eleven Inc. and PayNearMe have partnered with William Hill, the state of Nevada’s largest sports book operator, to provide William Hill Mobile Sports app patrons the ability to deposit to their Mobile Sports accounts at 7-Eleven convenience stores throughout Nevada, announced William Hill.
To make a cash deposit on site at any of the more than 200 7-Eleven stores statewide, customers can generate a payment barcode on their tablet or smartphone screen by selecting the “Deposit Funds” button inside the menu of the Mobile Sports app. The payment barcode will then be scanned at the 7-Eleven store, and the funds will be immediately credited to their Mobile Sports account.
“We are excited to partner with 7-Eleven and PayNearMe in providing our customers with now over 350 locations where they can deposit to their Mobile Sports accounts throughout Nevada,” said director of marketing Michael Grodsky, William Hill US, Las Vegas. “The Mobile Sports app allows our customers a convenient way to bet when they are not enjoying the great atmosphere in one of our 103 Nevada sports books.”
7-Eleven forged a payments deal with PayNearMe in 2011.
The William Hill Mobile Sports wagering app can be used on any iPhone, iPad or Android device carried by AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile or Boost Mobile. The app features an expansive sports betting menu including LIVE InPlay wagering on football, basketball, baseball, hockey and soccer.
