EDGE Boost is a new gambling-only debit card from EDGE Markets. The company has processed $300 million in transactions during its first few months, and it touts the debit card as a valuable tool for responsible gaming.
Setting a budget is an important habit for gamblers who want to keep their hobby safe and affordable. Casino games are exciting and it’s easy to get caught up in the moment. Deciding in advance how much you want to spend and setting that money aside can help you avoid impulsive decisions.
Seni Thomas, Founder and CEO of EDGE Boost, said:
“EDGE Boost is revolutionizing responsible gaming, giving players the power to take full control of their betting finances like never before. Our innovative card and platform provide the tools needed to engage with gaming safely and sustainably. Operators can only see part of the picture when it comes to a bettor’s financial habits — EDGE Boost changes that by acting as an independent, all-encompassing solution to bridge this critical gap. With our team’s deep expertise across the betting industry and beyond, we’re excited to deliver a responsible gaming solution that is already making an impact with bettors everywhere.”
The main purpose of the EDGE Boost debit card is to help gamblers keep their gaming funds separate from day-to-day and lifestyle expenses. The EDGE bank account is FDIC insured up to $250,000 and provides a detailed view of spending and deposits over time.
Responsible gaming features are core to EDGE Boost
EDGE Markets says there are a few key features that make its card ideal for responsible play.
First, the account will assess each user’s spending and cash flow, then use that data to suggest spending and betting limits. Additionally, the account emphasizes financial transparency, offering a crystal clear view of each bettor’s spending.
EDGE Boost will also reward players with cash back for qualified spending. The card is compatible with “almost any gaming platform,” allowing for seamless deposits. There are no minimum balances.
Paris Smith, Co-Founder of Defy the Odds, former Pinnacle CEO, and EDGE Boost advisor, said:
“Coming from the sportsbook world, it is clear to me that EDGE Boost is a true innovation and exactly what the betting community needs Bettors want a debit card that is exclusively designed and tailored for all their gaming needs. With its easy-to-use interface and immediate access to cash, EDGE Boost also provides real responsible gaming tools for its users to be smarter. On the operator’s side it also identifies users who have taken additional steps to play more responsibly without incurring additional costs or overhead. These are just a few of the reasons we’re excited to partner with Seni and his team at EDGE Markets to build even greater success.”
