PokerStars has struck a deal to allow its players in Mexico to fund their online accounts via the nation’s leading convenience store chain.

Amaya Gaming’s PokerStars brand announced this week that it had reached a deal with Oxxo, the country’s third largest retail chain. Oxxo operates over 13k convenience stores across Mexico, accounting for roughly 73% of the country’s total market.

The system requires players to login to their PokerStars account, select Oxxo as their deposit option and the amount they wish to deposit. Players receive an Oxxo coupon code, which they must then print out and take to any Oxxo branch within the next three days and hand over along with the cash. The funds will then appear in the player’s online account within one business day.

The system is a bit cumbersome, especially when compared with the instantaneous and paper-free systems like those William Hill US has worked out with 7-11 stores in Nevada or Ladbrokes Australia has with local newsagents. But it will give Stars’ Mexican players another option for getting money onto the site, so onward and upward.
