Main Event Travel and Luxon Pay have joined forces, with Main Event Travel becoming the official travel partner of the fast-growing payment app. Customers heading to Main Event Travel are now able to purchase flights, pre-paid hotels, and more using Luxon Pay.
Main Event Travel launched in 2012 and quickly became the go-to site for poker players looking for travel, hospitality, and ancillary service packages. The company partnered with poker Goliaths such asDusk Till Dawn, the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT), and the PokerStars UK & Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT). Although initially focussing on the British market, Main Event Travel is now a global entity, offering its services far and wide.
Fraser MacIntyre, a Scottish poker player and leisure industry entrepreneur, acquired Main Event Travel in October 2014. MacIntyre says that becoming the official travel partner of Luxon Pay is great for Main Event Travel’s customers.
“Our objective is to deliver an easy-to-use, efficient, and competitive travel booking platform to poker players. We are continuously working to improve our offering and functionality. Being the first online travel partner to offer Luxon Pay furthers our ability to provide players with a one-stop shop for poker travel.”
Luxon Pay is a multi-currency e-wallet that is available in more than 120 countries, allowing customers to make instant, global payments and transfers to friends, family, and hundreds of merchants, including several prominent online poker sites, Dusk Till Dawn poker club in Nottingham, and now Main Event Travel. The simple yet effective payment solution is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and accepts deposits via Visa, MasterCard, and several other alternative payment methods. Luxon pay customers can hold up to 10 currencies in their account, and benefit from instant currency exchange rates, making it the perfect e-wallet for traveling poker players.
Nicola Veitch is the Marketing Manger at Luxon Pay. Veitch is proud to have Main Event Travel as a partner.
