Betcade seals regulatory stamp of approval

Launch of a dedicated gambling store on Android moves a step closer following FCA green light

Betcade has overcome a significant hurdle to become the first dedicated store for real-money gambling apps on Android after receiving approval from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

As a UK Authorised Payment Institution in the UK, Betcade will be able to offer a full range of safe mobile payment processing services, including credit card, debit card, ewallets and bank transfers to UK and European customers.

The Betcade Store is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2017.

“At the forefront of our launch remains the focus to deliver not only a trustworthy platform, but a secure environment for both operators and consumers,” said Paul Barclay, general manager of Betcade Europe.

“This milestone marks an important part of our payment solutions and one that enables us to deliver all the great features and benefits we’ve been working on over the past two years.

“It’s a proud moment for the Global Betcade team who’ve worked extremely hard to build a best in class app store for the gambling industry.”

Betcade recently appointed agency The Specialist Works to manage its advertising campaign ahead of its UK launch.
