Investment firm Cannae Holdings led the round with a $32m investment, participating alongside Point Break Capital, Searchlight Capital Partners, Shift4 Ventures and Vectr Ventures.

Founded in 2010, Sightline has built an online platform which focuses on lottery, internet gaming and esports betting. Its lead product, Play+, is a cashless payments service with 1.5 million registered accounts.
