NRT Technology and Sightline Payments have announced that Hard Rock International has chosen Connect+ as the payment gateway for its recently launched online casino in New Jersey.

Connect+ offers a streamlined “one stop shop” API that allows operators to get up and running quickly and easily for their online and on-premise integrated resort payment needs. The gateway also leverages tokenisation, encryption and advanced fraud management tools to help protect operators and their guests.

“NRT and Sightline have been at the forefront of innovative commerce solutions for online operators for many years, and through our partnership we are the first operator to go live with the Connect+ payment gateway,” said Kresimir Spajic, SVP of online gaming at Hard Rock International.

“From integration to market launch, I commend the Hard Rock and NRT Sightline teams on a successful execution. Connect+ will offer our guests a superior payment experience and help us to retain and attract guests.”

Kirk Sanford, CEO and founder of Sightline Payments, said: "We owe a great deal of gratitude to Kresimir and the Hard Rock team for having the confidence in our ability to deliver Connect+.  This represents a critical milestone for our company and the industry in general.”
