OLG EXPANDS PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR ONLINE LOTTERY PURCHASES

TORONTO, Nov. 21, 2022 /CNW/ - Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is bringing more choice to customers with Direct Pay, a secure and intuitive way to buy lottery products online. Players who have a valid OLG.ca account now have the option to purchase single tickets and lottery subscriptions for LOTTO MAX, LOTTO 6/49, Daily Grand, Ontario 49, Daily Keno, Pick-2, Pick-3, Pick-4, and Encore on OLG's website and single tickets on the OLG app. Players can buy directly with Visa and Mastercard, without having to first deposit funds into an e-wallet or pay cash advance fees.

"As the first gaming provider in Canada to offer Direct Pay for online lottery purchases, OLG is ahead of the pack when it comes to providing customers with convenient and flexible payment options," said Amanda Marshall, OLG's Vice President of Digital Product Integration. "Investing in our payment capabilities supports our plan to put the customer at the centre of everything we do while delivering an unmatched and integrated digital gaming experience to players in Ontario."

OLG will process direct payments via PaySafe, a specialized and secure payments platform, accepting Visa, Mastercard, Visa Debit, Mastercard Debit, and qualified prepaid cards that are issued by Canadian banks. Players will still have the option of using the balance in their
e-wallet.
