    UTRUST Integrates Dash, Launching Cryptocurrency Payments for New Partner Whow Games

    Online gaming platform spearheads first UTRUST integration of DASH for customers

    UTRUST,  the cryptocurrency payment solution offering instant transactions, buyer protection, and crypto-to-cash settlements, announces the integration of DASH, a top digital currency for payments and e-commerce,  into the platform. Expanding the available payment methods to include DASH, alongside Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), UTRUST is providing merchants and consumers with the ability to pay with major cryptocurrencies.
    Whow Games is the first UTRUST merchant to launch Dash for purchases and cryptocurrency payments. It's the leading online social gaming platform in Europe, with a portfolio of 12 notable games including Jackpot.de and merkur24.com, Whow Games offers players the opportunity to play online for free with "virtual chips" that are collected and won.
    Commenting on the partnership, UTRUST CEO, Nuno Correia said: “We are delighted to expand our ever-growing portfolio of merchants by integrating cryptocurrency payments for Whow Games and their 9 million registered users. As an industry, online social gaming typically suffers a higher than normal chargeback rate for credit card purchases. Through this partnership, we have a chance to directly tackle chargebacks - a long standing scourge on the payments industry - with crypto payments. Integrating DASH, a highly efficient and user-friendly currency, as a payment option to all UTRUST merchants and their customers is also a hugely positive milestone for us.”

    “It’s great to see UTRUST recognising DASH as a major cryptocurrency and integrating us on their platform. With a transaction speed of one second and over 15,000 transactions per day, Dash offers a global and highly efficient service. Our aim to drive the adoption of cryptocurrency payments and promote the future of digital assets perfectly aligns with UTRUST’s own mission so we’re pleased to partner with the platform and unite in our common objectives.”

    Jan Heinrich Meyer, CEO of the Dash Embassy

    The global Dash community can now use their cryptocurrency to pay for a wide range of products and services in the growing UTRUST merchant network spanning multiple industries from sports and electronics to luxury goods and cosmetics and now online gaming.
