Open banking payments provider Yaspa has integrated its Intelligent Payments solution with The Big Leagues, a UK sports prize draw and fan engagement platform.
The Big Leagues will use Yaspa for Pay by Bank deposits and withdrawals, along with automated player verification. Yaspa combines instant bank transfers with real-time account authentication, so identity can be checked and deposits processed in seconds without card fees.
About The Big Leagues
Launched earlier this year by former sports betting executive Adam Shaw, The Big Leagues offers free-to-play sports prediction games and prize draws for experiences such as VIP hospitality at the UEFA Champions League, the Cheltenham Festival and the Masters. It says it follows the voluntary code of good practice for the prize draw sector.
What they said
James Neville, CEO of Yaspa, said:
“The Big Leagues is building an exciting, forward-thinking brand for sports fans in the UK, and we are thrilled to power their payments infrastructure.”
Adam Shaw, founder of The Big Leagues, said:
“Trust, speed, and simplicity are paramount to us and our players.”
Yaspa raised $12m in a round led by Discerning Capital in 2025 and has since opened an office in Atlanta and a tech hub in Leeds.
