Luxembourg-based Mangopay has partnered with France-based fantasy football platform Sorare to launch the Cash Wallet feature. With Cash Wallet, users who are registered on the Sorare platform gain the ability to make payments using real-world currencies such as USD, EUR, and GBP.

The feature is scheduled to become available in early August 2023, and it will be available to all Sorare Managers as part of the Sorare Wallet System. In essence, Sorare partnered with Mangopay to improve the user experience of its new and existing Managers by allowing them to securely connect their bank accounts to Sorare, store credit card details, and deposit money directly in their Cash Wallet to buy and sell cards using popular currencies. Sorare representatives cited by ibsintelligence.com highlighted the company’s adoption of blockchain as well as the benefits this technology can deliver to sports fans and fantasy gamers in the form of proven authenticity, scarcity, and portability.

They also talked about newer technologies and the launch of Cash Wallet, which aims to improve the user-friendliness of Sorare by helping Managers build their teams and collections using real-world currencies for the very first time. Mangopay officials cited by the same source emphasised the partnership’s potential to improve its strategic position while laying a foundation for more joint advancements in payment solutions.
