Paywizard to handle BT Sport PPV

February 14, 2019 11.37 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Paywizard has been selected for the onboarding of customers for BT Sport’s pay-per-view events over the Sky platform.

The subscription, billing and customer relationship management (CRM) specialist will deliver pay-per-view purchase and entitlement management and support.

“We ran our first PPV event almost 20 years ago and over that time have built an amazing understanding of what it takes to manage events where the majority of buys come in the last few hours,” says Bhavesh Vaghela, Paywizard’s Chief Executive. “With growing consumer demand for new PPV events, we look forward to working closely with BT Sport to acquire more customers, drive revenue and deliver success into the future.”

The solution is currently live, and deployed to support a number of high-profile PPV events from BT Sport’s brand-new dedicated pay-per-view channel, BT Sport Box Office HD.

These include boxing bouts between Canelo Álvarez and Gennady Golovkin, the recent heavyweight world title showdown between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury and world featherweight clash between Josh Warrington and Carl Frampton.

“Ensuring a great customer experience is a critical part of our PPV offering and Paywizard’s experience as a leader in delivering these type of streamlined enablement services made them a natural fit for this partnership,” said Jamie Hindhaugh, Chief Operating Officer BT Sport. “Their scalable platform and deep technical capabilities provide us with a seamless experience for both our own subscribers and Sky customers to access high quality PPV with ease.”

The service, using the Paywizard Agile platform, enables both BT Sport existing subscribers and non-BT Sport subscribers with a Sky Box to sign up for PPV events.
