EML Payments is excited to power AptPay‘s inaugural gaming and gambling General Purpose Reloadable (GPR) program in Canada with new client Woodbine Entertainment, Canada’s largest horse racing operator and home of world-class horse racing. EML’s in-person gambling and in-app gaming products help casinos go cashless through AptPay’s integrated platform.
The digital and physical payment solution is ideal for the instant disbursement of winnings. Physical cards are tap-ready for contactless payments throughout Canada.

This is the first program in Canada allowing winnings to be instantly disbursed to patrons,” stated Shams Syed, CEO at AptPay.
