Talking point: Nuvei also highlighted wins in its online-gaming vertical and the launch of its new payment cards business in Europe. The company signed a number of major customers in the most recent quarter as it looks to gain a foothold in the growing U.S. market for online gaming and sports betting. Some of those new customers include BetMGM, MGM Resorts International’s online sportsbook, and SI Sportsbook, Sports Illustrated magazine’s venture into online gaming. Nuvei also said it expects growth for its newly launched card issuing business in Europe, where it can offer the service as an additional benefit for its merchants in the region.
