Nuvei
iGaming-friendlyNuvei acquires gambling payments directly in 12 European markets and five in the Americas, and it sells gateway, acquiring, routing, player payouts and fraud screening under one contract. In the US it processes for state-licensed operators under its own gaming vendor registrations. It fits groups licensed in three or more of those markets that process $500k or more a month and would otherwise run four or five payment vendors. Pricing is set per deal, and the capital terms decide the economics: Nuvei holds a 5-10% rolling reserve for 6 months and settles to the operator T+2 to T+7. Outside those markets it reaches players through aggregated local methods or open banking.

Paysafe
iGaming-friendlyPaysafe is a London-based, NYSE-listed PSP that acquires gambling payments directly in 12 markets and owns the Skrill, Neteller and PaysafeWallet wallets, which had 7.8M active users in Q4 2025. It sells gateway processing, card acquiring and payouts next to those wallets and the paysafecard voucher, and 888, PokerStars, William Hill and DraftKings are among its clients. The fit is a licensed casino or sportsbook moving $250k or more a month whose players already deposit with Skrill or Neteller, because one contract then covers the cards and the wallets. That access comes at a heavy price, since a 7-12% reserve sits with Paysafe for 6 months. Crypto is where the fit ends, because Pay with Crypto works only in regulated US cashiers and Paysafe settles operators in fiat alone.

TrueLayer
iGaming-friendlyTrueLayer is a London open banking PSP that takes Pay by Bank deposits and pays winnings back in seconds across 22 European countries, at 0.3-1.0% per deposit with no rolling reserve and no chargebacks. It fits mid-market and enterprise UKGC, MGA and GGL licensees that want a bank rail next to their card acquirer, and bet365 runs it as the recommended checkout option in the UK and Germany. TrueLayer settles to the operator instantly, while Trustly, the other main Pay by Bank choice for UK and European operators, settles T+1 and reaches 33 countries. Since March 3, 2026, TrueLayer has owned Zimpler, which brings Pay N Play in Sweden and Finland on Zimpler's own contract. TrueLayer processes no cards and no crypto, so it is the European bank-rail piece of a payment stack and cannot carry a multi-region book alone. The company is still loss-making, with a pre-tax loss of £38.6 million in 2024.

Trustly
Regulated-onlyTrustly is a Stockholm open banking PSP that takes deposits from players' bank accounts and pays winnings back to them across Europe and North America, at 0-1% per deposit with no rolling reserve and T+1 settlement. It fits mid-market and enterprise casinos and sportsbooks under an MGA, UKGC, Swedish, German, Dutch or US state license that move at least $300k a month, the contract floor, and can commit to a fixed 12-month term. Pay N Play, a single bank login that registers the player and takes the first deposit, runs in five markets. Payouts land in the player's account in under 6 seconds. Trustly carries one method, the bank payment, so an operator still needs a card processor and a wallet beside it, and it takes no crypto. The revenue base now leans on the Americas, which brought in 61% of group revenue in the second quarter of 2026 and grew 24% while Europe fell 9%. Trustly, Inc. became a co-defendant on August 19, 2026, in a Florida Attorney General suit that calls VGW's sweepstakes casinos illegal gambling. Being named in a gambling-legality case clashes with Trustly's rule of boarding only licensed operators.

Adyen
Regulated-onlyAdyen is a Dutch bank and card acquirer that processed EUR 1.39 trillion in 2025 on a single platform it built in-house, under an ECB banking license with bank branches in the UK and the US. It boards gambling as a restricted category and takes only licensed, enterprise-scale operators under MGA, UKGC, Australian or Canadian licenses, with a $1M monthly minimum and a ban on US-based gambling. Pricing is interchange++. Once interchange, scheme fees and high-risk uplifts sit on Adyen's own fees, gambling card traffic costs more than 2.1% all-in and more than 3.1% on the highest-interchange cards. Settlement runs T+1 to T+3. Crypto and responsible-gaming tooling sit outside Adyen, so operators run it as the card-acquiring leg of a stack beside open-banking and crypto providers. For books below the $1M floor or licensed in US states, Nuvei fits better, since its minimum is $500k+ and it serves US-licensed operators.

iGaming score 8.1 out of 10Volt is a London open banking PSP that runs pay-by-bank deposits and instant payouts on nine real-time rails in 33 countries, under an FCA e-money authorization and a Polish KNF payment institution license. It fits UK and EEA licensees and Australian sportsbooks that want pay by bank beside a card processor. Deposits cost 1-2.5% with no rolling reserve, settlement runs T+1, and push payments carry zero chargebacks. Volt processes no cards and no coin beyond USDC and EURC, and its Pix route in Brazil is closed to betting.

Zimpler

iGaming score 8.1 out of 10Zimpler is a Stockholm Pay by Bank provider that runs Pay N Play casino deposits in Sweden, Finland and Estonia and open banking deposits in five more European markets, charging 0.5-1.5% per deposit with no rolling reserve and settling T+1. It holds payment institution licenses of its own in Sweden and Brazil and processed €2.6 billion a year before TrueLayer acquired it. The fit is a casino licensed in Sweden or by the MGA whose players mostly pay by bank in the Nordics. Zimpler takes no cards, wallets or crypto and reaches 25 markets, none of them in the UK or the US, so it runs beside a card acquirer. Its Brazilian subsidiary runs Pix, a rail Brazil has closed to betting. Trustly charges 0-1% per deposit from a $300k+ monthly minimum, while Zimpler signs books of $100k-300k a month. That makes Zimpler the pick for a Nordic book below Trustly's floor.

Worldpay
Card Acquiring PSP
iGaming score 8.0 out of 10Worldpay is a card acquirer that has processed UK online gambling since 1997 and acquires gambling deposits directly in 11 markets: the UK, eight EU markets, the US and Canada. Over 200 gaming operators process with it, bet365, DraftKings, FanDuel, Entain and Flutter among them. It fits licensed operators with $750k or more a month in UK, European and North American card volume. Entry is expensive: an 8-15% reserve held for 6 months, settlement on T+2 to T+7 and a 12-month lock-in. Outside Europe and North America the gambling footprint stops at Mexico, and players cannot deposit crypto.

AstroPay
Local Methods PSP
iGaming score 8.0 out of 10AstroPay is a player e-wallet for Latin American casino and sportsbook deposits, with 50+ local methods behind one operator integration and a $100k monthly minimum. It fits operators with 20% or more of their players in Latin America outside Brazil. Players fund the wallet over SPEI, OXXO cash, Mercado Pago or PSE, so their deposits never touch the card rail where issuing banks in Mexico and Argentina decline 40-60% of international payments. Brazil, the one market AstroPay acquires itself, has closed its payment rails to betting. AstroPay holds a 5-8% reserve for 3 months and settles T+1 to T+2, while PayRetailers holds 6-10% for 4 months and settles T+1 to T+3.

Card Acquiring PSP
iGaming score 7.8 out of 10Worldline is a card acquirer listed on Euronext Paris, with its own card acquiring in 11 European markets, 260+ payment methods and merchant settlement at T+1 to T+3. By transaction volume it is the largest payment processor in Europe and the fourth largest in the world. For gambling it underwrites only established UKGC and MGA brands that process EUR 5M or more a year with a clean chargeback history, and its compliance review turns away Curacao and Anjouan licensees, crypto casinos and new startups. Card deposits cost 1.0-2.9% on interchange++ or a blended rate, and gambling merchants pay an uplift on top. The counterparty risk is live: Payone, the German acquiring arm, works under a BaFin order, and a Belgian criminal investigation opened in June 2025 is still open. In 2026 Worldline sold its North American, Australian and Indian businesses under its North Star 2030 plan, so its offer to operators is now a European one.

Yaspa
Open Banking PSP
iGaming score 7.8 out of 10Yaspa is a London open banking provider and FCA-authorized payment institution that takes gambling deposits and pays players out by bank transfer in the UK and 18 other European countries. In the US it runs Guaranteed ACH deposits. It holds no reserve and includes FX in its deposit fee. Its edge is verification, because affordability, source-of-funds and AML checks run inside the deposit in under 10 seconds on data from the player's own bank. That fits UKGC licensees facing tighter financial risk checks, and Yaspa onboards only UKGC, MGA or equivalent licensees. Payouts land in the player's account in seconds, and funds settle to the operator at T+1. Yaspa processes no cards and no crypto and covers no market in Latin America, Asia or Africa, so it runs as a second rail beside a card processor.

iGaming score 7.7 out of 10Trust Payments is a London acquirer and direct scheme member of Visa and Mastercard that charges 1.5-3.5% all-in on gaming card deposits, with its own acquiring and local methods in nine European markets. It fits UKGC- and MGA-licensed operators moving $300k to $2M a month, which contract with its FCA-authorized UK entity or its MFSA-authorized Malta entity to match their license. Funds settle T+1, against T+2 to T+7 at Nuvei and Worldpay, and Visa Direct payouts reach players in under 30 minutes. The exit is the hard part of the deal, since the 12-month term rolls over automatically unless the operator gives 180 days' written notice. With no gaming vendor registration in New Jersey, Pennsylvania or Colorado and crypto only through BitPay, Trust Payments is out for US state launches and crypto-first casinos. Latin American rails such as SPEI and OXXO sit outside its acquiring, so books that run on them need another provider, and Asian rails such as UPI reach it only through partners.

Eight of those markets are in Europe, and Canada runs on Interac rails that carry Pinnacle's Ontario business. Mexico runs on local acquiring, and Brazil, where emerchantpay also acquires locally, has closed its payment rails to betting. The fit is a licensed UK or EU operator with $100k to $1M a month in card deposits, and emerchantpay settles to the operator T+1 to T+3. Crypto-first and US state-regulated operators are ruled out, because emerchantpay settles only in fiat and holds no US state gaming registration.

Payout Specialist
iGaming score 7.4 out of 10Inpay is a Copenhagen payout specialist that sends player withdrawals over local bank rails in 90+ countries, at 1% per payout with no rolling reserve and no lock-in. Since August 17, 2026, a Danish FSA order over serious anti-money-laundering breaches has barred it from taking on new online gambling clients, so it serves only operators already on its rails. Among those, it fits mid-market and enterprise books that pay players in 10+ countries, where domestic clearing replaces SWIFT wires. 888, Betsson, NetBet, Lottoland and LiveScore Bet run payouts on it. Money In adds open-banking deposits, but Inpay processes no cards, so a card-led operator still needs a card PSP beside it.

iGaming score 7.4 out of 10BVNK is a Mastercard-owned stablecoin payments company running at more than $39 billion in annualized volume, with pay-ins and payouts in four stablecoins, USDC, USDT, EURC and PYUSD, across eight chains. It fits licensed operators in regulated markets that move $500,000 or more a month and pay players, affiliates and partners across borders. Payouts run 24/7, stablecoin and SEPA Instant volume reaches the operator the same day, and BVNK holds no reserve. Its own licenses include a Malta MiCA CASP passported across the EEA, e-money licenses in Malta and the UK and US state money transmitter licenses. Every price is quoted per merchant, with the conversion spread and FX folded into one BVNK Rate. BVNK acquires no cards, offers no local methods such as OXXO and takes no offshore gambling business, so an operator runs it beside a card acquirer such as Nuvei or Worldpay.

It fits UKGC, MGA and US state licensees that move $250k or more a month and take most deposits on cards. BetMGM runs on PXP in at least seven US states. European iGaming card deposits cost 1.5-3.0% on interchange-plus and settle T+1 to T+3. PXP takes no offshore operator and no player crypto, and its Latin American coverage runs through the partner Kushki.

Payment Orchestrator
iGaming score 7.2 out of 10Praxis Tech is a Limassol payment orchestrator built for iGaming that routes a casino's deposits and payouts to 600+ PSPs for a platform fee plus a 0.1-0.5% routing fee added to each PSP's price. Its hosted cashier puts 1,000+ payment methods behind one integration. The fit is an operator that already runs several PSPs, above all one on SoftSwiss, EveryMatrix or another of the eleven gaming platforms Praxis connects to, where the cashier switches on without a custom build. Praxis holds no acquiring or e-money license, so reserve, settlement, FX and refunds follow whichever PSP carries the volume, and every market still needs its own PSP contract. Stake and Codere Online route their payments through it. The open legal risk is a pending Florida suit against Stake.us that names Praxis Tech Ltd as a payment processor defendant.

Brite
Open Banking
iGaming score 7.1 out of 10Brite runs instant account-to-account deposits and payouts for licensed gambling operators in 27 European markets, with no rolling reserve and no setup or monthly fee. It fits a casino or sportsbook licensed in Malta, the UK, Germany or Sweden that moves at least $200k a month through bank payments. Players get their winnings in under 10 seconds, the operator's money settles on T+0 to T+1, and the contract runs 6 months where Trustly asks for 12. Brite Play turns the first deposit into a bank-verified sign-up, which is Brite's Pay N Play. Brite takes no player outside Europe, and because it carries no cards, wallets or crypto, an operator whose players also pay those ways needs a second processor beside it.

0xProcessing
Crypto
iGaming score 7.1 out of 100xProcessing is a custodial crypto gateway that charges 0.4-0.9% of each deposit at $50k to $100k a month, with no reserve and no minimum volume, and it holds no license from any financial supervisor. It fits offshore casinos and sportsbooks licensed in Curacao, Anjouan or Kahnawake that take crypto deposits, and Slotegrator carries it as a ready payment method on its casino platform. Payments credit to the merchant's crypto balance once the chain confirms them, and the merchant withdraws crypto to its own wallets or fiat by SWIFT or SEPA. Player payouts below the merchant's own limit go out instantly on-chain for the network fee alone, and incoming coins convert to stablecoins automatically. Its contracting entity, 14partners Limited, is registered in the Seychelles, and the team works from Dubai. The missing license means 0xProcessing does not fit MGA, UKGC, Isle of Man or US-licensed operators, and without a MiCA CASP authorization it is closed to EU clients.

iGaming score 7.0 out of 10NOWPayments is a crypto gateway, non-custodial by default, that takes 350+ coins at 1% per crypto payment, plus 0.5 point when a payment converts to EUR or USD. It asks for no volume floor, lock-in or reserve, and it fits Curaçao and Anjouan licensed casinos whose players pay in crypto, altcoins included. Crypto lands in the operator's own wallet on confirmation, while auto-conversion settles EUR or USD at T+1 to T+3 for operators that want no coins on the balance sheet. NOWPayments takes no cards, bank transfers or e-wallets, so a fiat-heavy book still runs a second provider. It also holds no license anywhere and no MiCA authorization, which puts EU-regulated and UKGC operators out of reach.

Crypto Processor
iGaming score 7.0 out of 10CoinsPaid is a crypto payment processor for online casinos, with 500+ casino clients, EUR 9.1 billion processed in 2024 and pre-built connectors on SoftSwiss and Slotegrator. Since the group split on July 14, 2026, operators contract with its merchant arm, CryptoProcessing by Coinspaid. It fits an offshore-licensed crypto casino that takes $100k or more a month in coins and at least 30% of its deposits in crypto. Deposits carry no reserve and no chargebacks. Coins kept in crypto cost 0.8-1% and settle instantly, while a book settled in EUR or USD pays 2-2.5% all-in and gets its money T+1. The gateway takes no USDT, its Estonian license lapsed on July 1, 2026 with no EU authorization to replace it, and Lazarus Group breached CoinsPaid twice in 2023 and 2024. An operator bound by MiCA belongs with CoinGate, which the Bank of Lithuania has authorized as a CASP.

iGaming score 7.0 out of 10Checkout.com is a London full-stack PSP that acquires cards directly in 50+ countries and processed more than $300B in 2025. It holds an FCA e-money license in the UK, an ACPR e-money license passported across the EEA and US money transmitter licenses. The fit is a licensed operator moving $1M or more a month in card deposits across the UK, the EEA, the US and Australia. Offshore operators, Curacao licensees included, are shut out, since Checkout.com accepts gambling only where it is legal for both the operator and its players. Settlement runs T+1 to T+3, player payouts run in real time, and the contract binds merchants for 12 months. Casino operators on SoftSwiss or EveryMatrix face a custom build, because gambling runs on the general enterprise API with no casino-platform connector and no dedicated iGaming team. Checkout.com takes no crypto and does not acquire directly in Mexico, Argentina or Colombia, so a crypto or Latin American book needs a second provider.

iGaming score 7.0 out of 10MiFinity is a Belfast eWallet built for iGaming that 1,500+ live brands run beside their card acquirer, and a transfer from a funded wallet reaches the operator's cashier with no chargeback and settles at T+1. It fits offshore and licensed operators with players in Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia, and books on SoftSwiss or Slotegrator switch it on through a ready connector. Players pay the funding fees before the transfer, so the operator pays negotiated transfer and payout fees instead of a percentage of each deposit. MiFinity holds an FCA e-money authorization in the UK and an EU-passported MFSA e-money license in Malta, and management has owned the company since a 2020 buyout led by CEO Paul Kavanagh and CFO Kieron Nolan. It excludes US players and settles nothing to the operator in crypto.

In the US it is registered with FinCEN as an MSB and holds a New York BitLicense plus state money transmitter licenses in its own name. Its Dutch entity BitPay B.V. has held MiCA authorization across the EEA since July 15, 2026. Gambling is one vertical among many for a privately held company with 130,000 merchants and $103M of venture funding. BitPay accepts a casino only where gambling is legal for the casino and for every one of its players. That makes it a fit for US state-licensed and EEA-licensed operators moving $200k or more a month in crypto who want fiat from a licensed counterparty. Offshore casinos with traffic from banned markets are shut out. Each month's deposits start at 2% + $0.25 apiece and step down with volume, plus an FX markup on conversion, under a 12-month lock-in. NOWPayments takes 1% per crypto deposit and asks for no volume floor or contract term. BitPay has no connector to any casino platform, so a platform-based operator builds the integration itself.

B2BINPAY
Crypto
iGaming score 6.9 out of 10B2BINPAY, the crypto-only payments arm of broker technology group B2Broker, charges 0.25-0.50% per crypto deposit, by asset and monthly volume band, and nothing on crypto payouts. Its asset list runs to 350+ coins and tokens across 18 chains, and B2BINPAY holds no reserve. It fits operators outside the EU, the UK and the US that take most deposits in crypto: Curacao-licensed casinos, forex and CFD brokers already on the B2Broker stack, and banks or EMIs that want a white-label crypto rail. Crypto settles instantly and fiat in USD or EUR at T+1. Both of its licenses come from El Salvador and its MiCA application in Italy is still pending, so EU-licensed casinos cannot use it, and its policy bars US and UK clients outright. Withdrawals delayed beyond 5 days and bot-only support recur at B2BINPAY. A casino on SoftSwiss or EveryMatrix integrates through a custom REST build, because B2BINPAY has no casino-platform connector.

XAIGATE
Crypto
iGaming score 6.9 out of 10XAIGATE is a custodial, crypto-only payment gateway from Garland, Texas, that charges nothing on the first 500 transactions a month and 0.15-0.2% above that. Payouts carry no fee beyond the network fee, and XAIGATE holds no payments or crypto license in any jurisdiction. It fits an SMB store on a PHP shop platform and a non-profit taking crypto donations. A Curacao-licensed crypto casino can run it as a test rail beside its main processor, for crypto deposits in the hundreds to low thousands of transactions a month. Customer payments land at addresses XAIGATE controls and sit in a Merchant Settlement Account, which its terms let it put under rolling reserves, holds and payout limits, and that balance pays out only in crypto. With no MiCA authorization, no US money transmitter license and no casino-platform connector, XAIGATE is out of the running for MGA, UKGC, EU and US-licensed operators.

Flutterwave
Local/Regional PSP
iGaming score 6.7 out of 10Flutterwave is an Africa-focused PSP, run from San Francisco and Lagos, that acquires deposits directly in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and seven more African markets and holds payment authorizations in 34 African markets under one contract. It fits a sportsbook or casino whose deposits come mostly from Nigeria, with Kenyan volume added over M-Pesa on the same contract, and Bet9ja, Betway and NairaBet already process through it. Naira methods cost 2% per transaction, local flows settle T+1, and the reserve can reach 10% for 180 days. It serves no gambling license regime and takes no crypto, so MGA and UKGC books and coin cashiers need a second provider, and a casino on SoftSwiss or EveryMatrix builds its own REST integration.

Latpay
High-Risk PSP
iGaming score 6.7 out of 10Latpay is a London high-risk PSP founded in 2001, with its own FCA and ASIC licenses, and it routes casino and sportsbook card deposits across 80+ gambling-friendly acquiring banks. When one bank declines a card, Latpay retries it at the next inside the same request. It fits casinos and sportsbooks that hold no MGA or UKGC license and have been turned away by mainstream PSPs, and card-heavy books that want a decline-recovery layer beside their main processor. Card deposits cost 2-5% and settlement lands T+2 to T+7. Three gaps rule out whole segments, because Latpay takes no crypto, owns no direct acquiring and has no ready connector for SoftSwiss, EveryMatrix or any other casino platform. A regulated book that wants its own acquirer gets one at emerchantpay, a Visa and Mastercard principal member that settles T+1 to T+3.

iGaming score 6.7 out of 10Xace is a London payment institution that gives casinos, sportsbooks, affiliates and gambling suppliers business accounts in 20+ currencies, supervised by the FCA in the UK and the MFSA in Malta and registered with FINTRAC in Canada. €2bn a year moves through its customer accounts. It fits licensed operators that mainstream UK and EU banks turn away and that need EUR, GBP, USD or CAD accounts on Faster Payments, SEPA, SWIFT and ACH. The price depends on the operator's license. Curacao and other offshore licensees pay a joining fee and then £250 a month for every account they open, while fully licensed European and North American operators get the same accounts on Era with no joining or monthly fee. Money settles T+0 to T+1. Xace acquires nothing and processes no crypto, so it runs beside a PSP that takes the player deposits.

CoinGate

iGaming score 6.5 out of 10CoinGate is a Vilnius crypto gateway that takes 13 crypto assets at 1% on its Standard plan. The Bank of Lithuania licenses it twice, as a MiCA crypto-asset service provider and as a payment institution, and CoinGate onboards gambling merchants that hold a valid license. That fits a small or mid-size EEA-licensed casino adding crypto next to its fiat PSP, because CoinGate sets no minimum, no lock-in and no setup fee and takes the book from its first crypto deposit. Settlement runs weekly in EUR, USD, GBP or crypto, so deposits wait with CoinGate before they reach the operator. CoinGate takes no USDT and holds no license outside the EEA, which rules out Tether-heavy casinos and US-facing books. It also runs no casino-platform connector, so SoftSwiss and Slotegrator casinos build against its API.

IXOPAY

It fits PSPs that resell a gateway under their own brand, and operators with in-house payment engineers running three or more acquirers on $500k+ a month, with the best return from $2M. The price is a 0.1-0.5% routing fee on top of every PSP's charge, under a 12-month lock-in. For gambling, IXOPAY is generic high-risk infrastructure, with no casino or sportsbook client, no casino-platform connector and no iGaming team.

Request Network
Crypto Gateway
iGaming score 6.5 out of 10Request Network is a non-custodial stablecoin payment protocol run by a Swiss foundation in Zug: casino and sportsbook deposits arrive from 7 chains straight to the operator's wallet, at a protocol fee of 0.9% capped at $500 per payment that the player pays by default. It fits offshore and Curacao-licensed crypto casinos whose players already deposit in USDT and USDC, since each deposit is final once the chain confirms it and the operator faces no reserve, no minimum volume and no lock-in. Hypernative screens each player's wallet against sanctions and high-risk lists before the payment is signed, once the operator switches it on. The protocol takes no fiat, neither of its entities holds a payment license or a MiCA authorization, and the gambling product has had no reference casino or sportsbook client since its June 1, 2026 launch. That makes Request Network a second crypto rail beside the operator's fiat processor.

Finassets

Its pre-bought TRON Energy takes more than half off the network fee on each TRC-20 transfer. The fit is a Curaçao, Anjouan or Kahnawake licensee whose crypto volume runs mostly in USDT and whose cards and bank payments already sit with a fiat PSP. There is no reserve, no minimum volume and no setup fee, and balances settle at once in crypto or in USDT, USDC and DAI because Finassets never touches fiat. Ten people in Riga run the business through a Panama company that holds no license anywhere, which closes it to UKGC, MGA and EU-licensed books.

That fits offshore crypto casinos and sportsbooks licensed in Curacao or Anjouan that want a cashier live within a week and keep their revenue in crypto. Against that, the gateway holds no payment or crypto license and has not served EU or EEA clients since July 1, 2026, which shuts out every MGA licensee. Its owners also carry ties to the OneCoin Ponzi scheme, and the CFTC traced $147M laundered by Control Finance through CoinPayments wallets.

Gigadat

iGaming score 6.4 out of 10Gigadat is a Winnipeg processor, founded in 2013, that runs Canadian iGaming deposits and player payouts over Interac e-Transfer, with a bank wire payout option alongside. It reaches all Big 6 banks and 275+ credit unions, and because Interac is push-only, its volume carries no chargebacks and no rolling reserve. It fits casinos and sportsbooks that take Canadian players under an iGaming Ontario registration or a Kahnawake or Curacao license and see most deposits arrive by Interac. Stake.ca, PlayOJO, LeoVegas Canada and BET99 run Interac through it. Its price is a flat fee per transaction that sits 30-100 basis points under PayPal and Skrill on Interac, with settlement in CAD at T+1 to T+3. Payouts are the weak leg, since a player waits 1-3 business days for a withdrawal and Gigadat pays out Monday to Friday only. Gigadat processes no cards and no crypto, serves no country outside Canada, and has held a pending RPAA application with the Bank of Canada since November 1, 2024.

Banking Circle
Payout Specialist
iGaming score 6.4 out of 10Banking Circle is a CSSF-licensed Luxembourg bank that settles in 24 currencies and clears six of them (EUR, GBP, SEK, DKK, CHF and AUD) directly for payment firms, among them the iGaming PSPs Paysafe and Nuvei. It sells those firms accounts and FX but processes no player deposits or withdrawals, so an operator on Paysafe or Nuvei meets it only as the bank underneath and pays for it inside the PSP's blended rate. A gambling company can bank with it directly when it is incorporated in one of 28 listed jurisdictions and holds the licenses its markets require. The list covers the UK, Malta, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man and most of the EU, while Curaçao, Anjouan and Costa Rica are off it. A direct client gets transfers that clear in seconds over SEPA Instant and Faster Payments and a 0.5-1% FX markup, after a bank KYB and API build that take 3-6 months together. That suits a licensed European operator that wants its treasury and FX at a deposit-taking bank, while player deposits and withdrawals stay with a PSP.

It fits casinos and sportsbooks that take deposits in two or more of Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru, and casinos on SOFTSWISS or SoftGamings reach it through a ready connector. Brazil, where D24 runs Pix, has closed every payment rail to betting. D24 holds no financial-services license anywhere and owns no direct acquiring, so every rail runs through partner institutions. Fees, reserve, minimum volume and contract length are all quoted per merchant. The company grew out of AstroPay's merchant-processing arm and is owned separately from it.

Players fund from their checking accounts by ACH or by instant Request for Payment, which suits a DFS pick'em, prediction-market, skill-gaming or sweepstakes app in the US. That is the book Aeropay already runs, PrizePicks and Kalshi included. Operators pay 1-1.5% per deposit plus $0.15-0.25 per transaction, so the fixed fee adds 0.75-1.25 points to a $20 deposit. Guaranteed ACH puts ACH returns on Aeropay and leaves settled funds with the operator unless the loss is confirmed fraud. Aeropay carries no cards, wallets or crypto. Regulated online casinos and sportsbooks reach it only through Worldpay, and the company holds no money transmitter license of its own, since four sponsor banks carry that load.

It also sells card acquiring and non-custodial crypto processing as separate products, yet it holds no acquiring, banking or gambling license, and PCI DSS is its only certification. The platform went live publicly in March 2025 and has no connector to SoftSwiss or EveryMatrix and no production-scale record with gambling operators. In September 2026 Finera pulled its iGaming content, and it now pitches eCommerce, fintech and service businesses.

The fit is an operator licensed in any of the 25 regulated US gaming markets PayNearMe covers, above all one whose players pay in cash at a store or cash out to a debit card. Operator settlement runs T+1 to T+3, while Nuvei settles T+2 to T+7. Every deal is quoted individually on interchange-plus, tiered or fixed pricing. PayNearMe works only in the United States, settles only in USD, takes no offshore-licensed brands and no crypto, so any book outside US state licenses needs a second provider.

iGaming score 6.2 out of 10Pay.com is a Limassol card gateway that charges an all-in 2.85% + $0.27 per card payment in the US and 1.5% + EUR 0.20 on standard EU cards. Each payment routes across several partner acquirers and fails over to a second one when the first declines. It fits low-risk eCommerce, fintech and trading merchants moving from $10k a month in US or EU card volume, while a gambling merchant gets an individual quote. A licensed casino or sportsbook cannot run on it as a primary processor, because Pay.com holds no gambling license, acquires no card volume itself and has no casino-platform connector. Regulated iGaming goes to Paysafe, which Pay.com has recommended as an acquirer since January 2026. The product is fiat only, and beyond cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Volt open banking its one local method is BLIK in Poland.

EBANX's case for a licensed casino or sportsbook rests on its own acquiring in Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Argentina under one contract. In Peru, Argentina and Chile, though, EBANX's user terms list games of chance as a prohibited payment purpose. Gambling is new business for EBANX. It has accepted licensed gambling merchants only since October 2025, serves no offshore-licensed brand and has no casino-platform connector. Deposit pricing comes only as a quote per merchant, and merchants selling in from abroad get their funds at T+7 on the cross-border contract, while AstroPay settles T+1 to T+2.

It fits AGCO and iGaming Ontario registrants, and AGLC registrants in Alberta, that want the Canadian bank-payment share of their cashier from one counterparty. DraftKings, FanDuel, bet365 and BET99 run on it, and the Toronto company, founded in 2003, has processed more than $100 billion. Paramount does not onboard offshore casinos or sportsbooks, and its two rails carry no cards, wallets or crypto, so card deposits stay with a second processor such as Nuvei or Paysafe.

It holds its own EMEL authorization from Banco Central do Brasil, the first granted in Brazil's betting segment, and participates in Pix directly, so no partner bank sits between the operator and the rail. The fit is an operator with a Brazilian license and a third or more of its deposits from Brazilian players, small casinos included, because the entry bar is the license. Scope is the constraint, because paying through Pay4Fun requires a CPF and an own-name account at a Brazilian bank, and Pay4Fun accepts no cards or crypto.

Every deposit and payout pays the PSP's rate plus a 0.2-0.6% routing fee under a 6-month contract, while reserves, settlement and chargebacks stay with the PSPs. No casino operator is among its clients. Primer booked a 2023 operating loss of GBP 15.6M on GBP 2.9M of revenue and runs on the $100M Series C it closed in May 2026.

It processes no money itself and holds no financial license or acquiring authorization, so settlement, reserves, KYC and chargeback liability all sit with the PSPs the operator signs. Corefy's 0.2-0.7% routing fee and a platform fee quoted per contract come on top of what those PSPs bill. The fit is a casino or sportsbook moving up to $2M a month across two or more PSPs that wants failover between them. No gambling operator is a named Corefy client, and the engineering team works from Kyiv through the war in Ukraine.

Deposits cost 2-3% blended plus a monthly minimum fee, and settlement runs T+2 in TARGET2 bank days. PPRO does no card acquiring outside Latin America, and its Latin American business carries no gambling, so a card-first casino or a book with Latin American players needs a different provider.

It fits sportsbooks and casinos licensed in Nigeria or Ghana, and Bet9ja, BetKing and NairaBet take Nigerian deposits through it. Gambling needs Paystack's prior approval and a legal home for both the operator and its players, which shuts every offshore book out of all five markets. Paystack sets each betting merchant's reserve during the approval and holds payouts while it reviews an account.

The rolling reserve keeps 6-10% of each month's volume for 4 months, and settlement runs T+1 to T+3. Brazil, where the group holds a Central Bank of Brazil payment institution license and owns Transfeera, a direct Pix participant, has closed every payment rail to betting. Outside Latin America the footprint reaches only eight African markets, mostly on mobile money. PayRetailers processes no crypto, so a book with European, Asian or crypto players needs a second provider next to it.

It holds no payment license and acquires nothing, so every PSP behind it is a separate contract whose processing fees come on top. The fit is a licensed operator with its own compliance team that moves $100k-$1M a month across three or more PSPs, where Bridger Retry recovers 8-15% of declined card transactions on a fallback PSP. No volume minimum applies, so the Pro tier is the only entry floor. Gambling is a secondary vertical for a company built on forex and crypto merchants, and BridgerPay runs no iGaming team. It also runs no KYC/AML program of its own and takes no compliance responsibility for the merchants it routes, which leaves every compliance duty with the operator and its PSPs. The contract runs 12 months and renews itself for another year unless either side gives at least 30 days' written notice.

It fits sportsbooks whose deposits run mainly through Kenyan or Tanzanian mobile money or South African cards, and casino groups that already take hotel payments through DPO in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania or Rwanda. Self-serve sign-up carries no volume minimum, and the client base is African hotels, airlines and travel firms. DPO holds no gambling supplier credential, connects to no casino platform and takes no crypto. Nigeria is not one of its markets and DPO has no office there, so a Nigeria-first book needs another PSP from day one.

Genome
EMI / Business Banking + Payouts
iGaming score 5.8 out of 10Genome is a Bank of Lithuania e-money institution that pays iGaming players out over SEPA Instant at the SEPA Credit price, in batches of up to 3,000 transfers per API call, from a business IBAN that holds 12 currencies. It fits EU and offshore-licensed operators whose players cash out to Eurozone bank accounts, and it sets no minimum monthly volume. Gambling accounts sit on the high-risk track at EUR 150 a month, transaction rates are quoted per merchant after KYB, and settlement to the operator runs T+1. Deposits arrive only by Pay by Bank and SEPA transfer, push payments that carry no chargebacks, because Genome runs no card acquiring and its merchant terms prohibit crypto. Its footprint ends at the EEA and the UK. The brand belongs to UAB Maneuver LT, the 4th-largest Lithuanian EMI by client-fund turnover in Q2 2025, which the Bank of Lithuania fined EUR 80,000 in June 2024 over customer due diligence and reporting failures.

Coinflow Labs
Crypto
iGaming score 5.8 out of 10Coinflow Labs is a Chicago stablecoin payments company that takes card and bank deposits, settles the merchant in USDC within minutes of each approval and indemnifies 100% of chargebacks on approved transactions. It takes 2.5-3.5% of each card deposit and fits US sweepstakes, daily fantasy, skill-gaming and prediction operators whose treasury can hold USDC, the segment where its betting clients Novig, Fliff and Hotstreak run. Licensed casinos fall outside it, since Coinflow holds no authorization from any gambling regulator and runs no casino-platform connector. Its own perimeter is a Polish VASP registration that does not passport into the rest of the EU, plus US card acquiring on the charter of its sponsor bank, Cross River. The settled balance reaches the merchant's bank by withdrawal or a daily ACH sweep. Crypto pay-ins are limited, so a book of crypto-paying players is a poor match.

Payper
Local/Regional PSP
iGaming score 5.8 out of 10Payper is a Toronto processor that settles Canadian Interac deposits to the operator in CAD the moment they land and pays players out within 30 minutes of approval, 7 days a week. Deposits also come in by online banking and digital check, and winnings go back by Interac, EFT or a card push over Visa Direct and Mastercard Send. It fits iGaming Ontario operators and offshore brands whose Canadian players pay by Interac and who compete on cashout speed. The operator carries no chargeback liability and Payper holds no rolling reserve, with every rate quoted per merchant. Payper works in Canada only, and its registration under the Retail Payment Activities Act is still pending with the Bank of Canada.

PaymentIQ
Orchestrator
iGaming score 5.8 out of 10PaymentIQ is a Stockholm orchestration platform and hosted cashier that connects gambling operators to 260+ PSPs, banks and acquirers through one integration and handles 630M+ transactions a year. It acquires nothing and never holds player or operator funds, so every PSP behind the cashier is the operator's own contract. The fit is an operator running three or more PSPs behind one cashier, licensed or offshore, and PaymentIQ's clients include Betsson, Paf, SkyCity, Stake and Roobet. PaymentIQ prices its SaaS license on volume and quotes it deal by deal, and that license comes on top of each PSP's processing fees. Settlement, payout speed and reserves follow those PSP contracts, and a market opens on PaymentIQ only once one of the operator's PSPs covers it. Crypto-only casinos and books with a single acquirer get little from it. Incore Invest has owned the company since its March 2, 2026 carve-out from Worldline.

Z.ro Global Payments
Brazil Pix infrastructure PSP
iGaming score 5.8 out of 10Z.ro Global Payments, a Recife payment institution owned by the FX group Grupo B&T, sells Pix pay-ins and payouts to Brazil's licensed betting operators as a BCB-authorized e-money issuer and direct Pix participant. Its Pix rail cascades across four partner banks and handles more than 50,000 Pix a minute at peak. It fits a .bet.br licensee or license applicant that takes its Brazilian deposits by Pix and runs its own cashier, because Z.ro sells a REST API the operator builds against directly. Offshore brands cannot sign, since Z.ro takes only .bet.br licensees and applicants. Every merchant gets its rate by individual quote. Betting rails run in Brazil only, over Pix and TED, so an operator with players in Mexico or Chile needs PayRetailers or AstroPay beside it.

It pays players out in under 2 hours, 24/7. It fits a licensed Brazilian sportsbook or casino that takes most deposits by Pix and wants the license holder itself on the contract, and BandBet, Alfa and Bet do Milhão process their payments with it. Every price is quoted per merchant. OneKey holds no local license in Mexico, Chile or Colombia, where casino and sportsbook traffic rates Limited, and it takes no crypto deposits, so volume in those markets or in crypto goes to another provider.

In gambling it works only with operators that hold a European license, as a card and local-method layer beside their primary PSP, with direct access to Bancontact in Belgium, Cartes Bancaires in France, the SIBS rails in Portugal and MyBank in Italy. Kindred Group, PMU, NetBet and Circus.be process with it. Card deposits cost 1.2-2.9% blended, HiPay sets no minimum monthly volume, and settlement runs T+1 to T+3 in EUR. Operators integrate its REST API directly and run responsible gaming on their own platform. Offshore and US-regulated operators fall outside its gate.

iGaming score 5.7 out of 10Pavilion Payments owns VIP Preferred, the ACH and eCheck network behind bank deposits at DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM and Caesars Sportsbook, with more than 3 million enrolled patrons and 350+ gaming clients in North America. It fits US-licensed online casinos and sportsbooks processing $1 million or more a month, and land-based or tribal operators that want the cage, the kiosks and Title 31 reporting from the vendor that runs their online cashier. A $100 deposit costs the operator $0.60-2.00 in percentage and per-ACH fees, and in return Pavilion absorbs the failed debit on any eCheck it has approved. Its iGaming business covers the United States alone, in USD only. It takes no crypto and no online card deposits, and it turns away offshore-licensed brands. Parthenon Capital Partners has owned the company since buying it out of Global Payments for $415 million in 2023.

It takes betting business only from operators licensed under Brazil's bet.br regime, so it fits a bet.br casino or sportsbook that runs its deposits on Pix and debit and can build its own REST integration. Debit card deposits cost 2.39%, with no minimum volume and no lock-in, and payouts reach players instantly over Pix. Outside Brazil PagSeguro accepts local methods only through partner banks, no casino platform ships a connector to it and it processes no crypto, so a multi-market operator runs it as the Brazil rail next to a global PSP.

EeziePay

iGaming score 5.7 out of 10EeziePay is an online-banking gateway headquartered in Malaysia that takes bank-login deposits in five Southeast Asian markets (Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Singapore) through one integration, at 1.5-4.5% per deposit. It holds no payment license, and no company in Malaysia's SSM register trades as EeziePay, which keeps MGA, UKGC and US-state licensees away. Offshore casinos, sportsbooks and forex brokers whose players bank in those five markets are the fit. The cleanest ways in are the Gamingsoft platform, which sells EeziePay pre-integrated, and a second-gateway slot beside Help2Pay or TruePay, which is how BK8, Me88 and We88 run it. Deposits credit the merchant instantly and payouts reach players within minutes to a few hours, while settlement cadence and settlement currency exist only in each merchant's contract. Cards, e-wallets and crypto stay outside the product.

CommerceGate

iGaming score 5.6 out of 10CommerceGate is a Barcelona high-risk PSP, licensed by the Bank of Spain as a payment institution since 2020, that acquires cards for gambling and forex books EU acquirers refuse and settles to merchants in EUR over SEPA. It fits offshore casinos and sportsbooks, Curacao-licensed ones included, that run from an EU entity, move $200k-$2M a month and can get through a document-heavy KYB review. The same contract reaches Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Ecuador on aggregated local rails and Peru with PEN settlement, while Brazil, where CommerceGate runs its own Pix flow, has closed its payment rails to betting. CommerceGate holds a 5-10% rolling reserve for 90-180 days and settles at T+3 to T+7, against T+1 to T+3 at PayRetailers. It processes no crypto and has no connector to a casino platform, so SoftSwiss and EveryMatrix casinos reach it through Corefy or a custom REST build.

For iGaming it works only with operators licensed in the market they serve and takes no Curaçao, MGA or other offshore operator. That leaves Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and Peru as its betting markets, since Brazil, its largest market, has banned sports betting and online casino. Its deposit rates run 0.99-6.6%, but the 0.99% floor is Brazilian Pix, so a betting operator's cheapest rate comes on Argentina's 35-day schedule. Mercado Pago charges no setup fee and asks for no minimum or lock-in, and it runs as one deposit method beside an iGaming PSP, which handles payouts and platform connectors.

Card deposits carry a 10% reserve held for 180 days, with the cap set at EUR 100,000-150,000 by solution. TODA Pay routes cards, Skrill, NETELLER, Paysafecard, open banking and Romanian cash vouchers over a panel of upstream acquirers, and its only credential is a FINTRAC MSB registration held by SMART PAYMENTS TECHNOLOGIES LTD of Richmond, BC. That fits an offshore-licensed casino or sportsbook that takes Romanian players and wants card payouts in under 30 minutes, or a high-risk merchant whose bank will not settle gambling money. Its licensing rules out MGA, UKGC, ONJN and US-licensed operators.

Vpag
Brazil iGaming wallet + Pix gateway
iGaming score 5.5 out of 10Vpag is a Brazil-only bettor wallet and Pix gateway that the Eightroom betting-affiliate group launched in November 2023, and Pix is its only payment method. The license behind it is a Banco Central do Brasil e-money-issuer authorization held by the group company Pay Instituição de Pagamento S.A., while Vpag S.A., which operates the consumer account, holds none of its own. It fits .bet.br sportsbooks and casinos whose deposits come from Brazilian players and whose growth runs on cashback, VIP programs and affiliate traffic. The retention tools sit inside the payment flow: Club V+ loyalty, player cashback and personalized OneClick Pix keys that skip the cashier. Blaze, Pixbet and Aposta Ganha are among the seven Brazilian betting brands that take it. Vpag quotes its merchant rate to each operator, pays players out instantly by Pix and settles BRL locally, with EUR, USD or GBP batches on request for operators abroad. Operators with players outside Brazil, or with deposits on debit cards or TED, need a second provider from day one.

Akurateco

It moves no money and holds no payment license, so every deposit still runs through a connected acquirer that carries the regulated activity, any reserve and the settlement window. The fit is a PSP launching its own gateway, a bank building an acquiring product or a gambling group that moves $5M or more a month through several acquirers. Akurateco charges a fixed euro fee per transaction on top of the acquirer's rate, and white-label SaaS costs at least EUR 38,000 in its first year, a fixed cost that shrinks per transaction as the book grows. A single-brand casino gets no connector to SoftSwiss or any other casino platform, and it would be running payments software when all it needs is a processor.

Player funds sit at partner banks GBank and Cross River Bank, and J.P. Morgan Payments processes the card transactions. The fit is a US operator that holds a state license in every launch market and either runs a cashless casino floor, where the four major casino management systems already carry Play+, or takes online deposits through the Paysafe Payments API. Each operator contract is priced on its own terms, from an interchange share on Play+ card spend, a monthly platform fee and a one-time integration fee, and card volume reaches the operator on T+1-T+2. Sightline takes no crypto, boards no offshore or non-US operator and has shrunk to 67-70 staff.

It fits betting and casino operators with $250k or more a month of African deposits who already run cards through a global PSP and need mobile money collections and payouts beside it. Mobile money deposits cost 1.5-3%, and operator settlement runs T+1 to T+3. Cellulant serves no market outside Africa, takes no crypto and has no casino-platform connector, so it covers the African leg of a payments stack and nothing else.

It fits a US-licensed sportsbook or casino that already has a card acquirer and competes on withdrawal speed. Every payout draws on a balance the operator wires to Interchecks in advance, and each rail is priced per merchant in a sales-led deal. Interchecks works only in the US and only in USD, and it runs no card acquiring, so a book with players abroad or one that wants card acquiring and payouts in a single contract needs another provider.

Pay-ins cost 1.5-3.5% depending on the market, ProntoPaga takes no rolling reserve, and each contract sets its own settlement window to the operator.

It swaps out the PSP-hosted cashier and routes each deposit among the PSPs an operator already contracts. The fit is a casino, sportsbook or sweepstakes operator in Europe or North America that runs one to three PSPs, moves $300k-5M a month and loses deposits in its hosted cashier. Fluid's own charge is a tiered per-transaction fee billed over and above the PSP rates, with no setup fee. Player money never touches Fluid, and Fluidwave holds no payment or gambling license, so settlement, reserves, payouts and chargebacks follow each PSP contract. That makes Fluid an upgrade for a working PSP stack.

Payneteasy
Orchestrator
iGaming score 5.1 out of 10Payneteasy is a Gibraltar-based white-label payment gateway and orchestration platform, running since 2006, that reaches 1,000+ payment connections through one API. It holds no payment or gambling license and acquires nothing itself, so the regulated activity sits with the acquirers and PSPs it routes to. The fit is a PSP or bank launching a gateway under its own brand, or a multi-brand gambling group routing its volume across several acquirers. Payneteasy's acquirer relationships run deepest in the CIS and Central Asia. Pricing is set deal by deal: a per-transaction fee that falls as volume grows, plus a monthly license or a revenue share, with the connected acquirer's fees on top. Reserve and settlement follow that acquirer. Processing runs through two production data centers, Amsterdam and Moscow, so a UKGC- or MGA-licensed buyer has to clear sanctions exposure and data residency before it signs. A single-brand casino that wants one licensed endpoint is the wrong fit.

It fits casinos and sportsbooks licensed offshore, in Curaçao for example, and forex brokers licensed in Vanuatu or Belize, when their players pay in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia or the Philippines. BK8, We88 and BC.Game run it in their cashiers, and IQ Option takes Philippine bank deposits through it. Help2Pay processes no cards and holds no payment license in any market, and its only registration is a company in the British Virgin Islands. A compliance review under an MGA, UKGC or US-state license will not approve it on that basis. The June 2026 expansion into India, Pakistan and Bangladesh added three markets where gaming volume runs against a ban.

Malaysia is the core of it, with FPX, DuitNow, 12 banks and the Touch 'n Go, GrabPay and ShopeePay wallets, while Vietnam adds six banks plus MoMo, ZaloPay and Viettel Money. It fits an operator on an offshore license whose players deposit in Malaysia or Vietnam, the profile of We88, M88, 12Play and GemBet, which all run it in their cashiers. Help2Pay charges the same deposit rate across eight Asian markets, so the case for adding TruePay next to it rests on the Malaysian wallets. TruePay holds no payment license in any market and has no legal entity, jurisdiction or headquarters on paper, which rules out operators licensed by the MGA, UKGC or a US state. It processes no cards and no crypto.

In Poland it runs BLIK as a direct participant, and the licensed bookmakers STS and Fortuna take deposits through it, as Sazka does at its Czech cashier. It fits an operator licensed in Poland that needs BLIK and local bank payments next to a card acquirer, and it settles to the operator T+1 to T+3. An offshore-licensed operator cannot board, since PayU works only with gambling operators that hold a license in the market, and a crypto casino finds no crypto rail at all. PayU sets the deposit rate, the payout fee, the setup terms and any reserve in each contract. It has no ready casino-platform connector, so a casino plugs it in through its own API build or through an orchestrator. Rainbow CE B.V., an Amsterdam company led by Rapyd CEO Arik Shtilman, has owned the business since November 2025.

No licensed payment institution stands behind the brand, because its EU contracts sit with NODA HOLDING LIMITED, a Nicosia software company with no payment license. In the UK, the FCA-authorized NaudaPay Limited, now separate from the brand, takes no new customers or transactions under an orderly wind-down. Noda's CEO, CRO and COO left in October 2025. As a second pay-by-bank rail beside Trustly or Brite, or as the sole rail for a book under $200k a month, Noda fits only where the operator's compliance team accepts an unlicensed counterparty. It settles the operator T+0 to T+1 in fiat or in USDT through BVNK, and pays players out instantly. Operators that need US pay-by-bank or a ready connector on SoftSwiss or EveryMatrix have to look elsewhere, because Noda has neither.

It sits on MINCETUR's register of payment suppliers to Peru's regulated betting market, so a Peru-licensed sportsbook or casino can run its cashier through it. Peru is also the one market Monnet prices on a fixed rate card. The fit is a betting operator whose deposits sit mostly in Peru and Chile. Monnet also suits one that already acquires cards through a global processor and needs local bank-transfer rails in Peru, Chile and Ecuador plus cash collection in Peru. Brazil, Monnet's newest country, has closed its payment rails to betting, which leaves seven of the eight for a betting operator. Monnet takes no crypto in any market.

It fits UK and EU regulated books that run two or more PSPs and want one independent layer above them. Betfred sends its pay-ins and pay-outs through one BR-DGE integration, and William Hill runs its card tokenization on BR-DGE's Vault. The license is quoted per merchant and sits on top of what each PSP charges, since BR-DGE takes no MDR of its own. Betfred, William Hill, LiveScore Bet and Tombola all hold UK licenses, so an offshore book would be the first of its kind on BR-DGE.

Payment Solutions by Region
PSD2 killed card conversion in Europe. LATAM banks decline 40-60% of international cards. Each region has a payment problem and a set of providers that solve it.
Card conversion in European iGaming dropped after PSD2 forced Strong Customer Authentication on every deposit. Open banking filled the gap. Trustly processes for Bet365, Flutter, Betsson and most major European operators. Brite is the newer Stockholm-built alternative pushing instant payouts. Outside of open banking, country-level preferences run the show: iDEAL in the Netherlands, Sofort in Germany, Swish in Sweden, Bancontact in Belgium. A provider that covers ‘Europe’ but only does cards is missing half the deposit volume.

How We Score Providers
Five weighted metrics, all from public data
Every provider in this directory gets a score from 1 to 10. The score is based on five weighted metrics. Trustpilot is shown too, but it carries no weight. No provider can pay to change their score.

Does the provider serve iGaming as a primary vertical? We check for a dedicated iGaming team, confirmed casino platform connectors (only those traceable to the platform's own catalog or an official joint announcement count), and whether gambling is a vertical the provider lists in its own right rather than one it reaches second-hand. A large owned gambling-acquiring book counts the same way as a confirmed connector, so a tier-1 acquirer is not under-rated for carrying iGaming through acquiring relationships instead of platform listings.
Where does the provider actually have local acquiring or direct integrations? We parse region descriptions and verify against supported currency lists and documentation. Global coverage with 50+ local markets scores highest. A LATAM-only specialist gets credit for depth in that region but lower marks for overall reach. Providers that own no direct acquiring of their own (orchestrators, aggregators, routing wallets) are capped here, since inherited reach is not owned reach.
Only licenses the provider holds itself count — the operator license stacks it serves (MGA, UKGC and similar chips) never feed this number. Full prudential authorizations carry the most weight: a banking, EMI or payment-institution license from regulators like the FCA, BaFin, ACPR, MFSA, the Nordic FSAs, Brazil's Central Bank, Mexico's CNBV or Singapore's MAS. National registrations and register-confirmed gaming-supplier rows (US state registers, FINTRAC, Romania's ONJN) count below that, registrations like FinCEN MSB or Peru's MINCETUR below that again. A license the same field describes as canceled, lapsed or winding down scores nothing. KYC/AML automation and a no-chargeback rail add on top.
Lower published fees score higher. We parse actual fee percentages from provider data. A 0.5% deposit fee scores better than 3.5%. Transparent pricing models get a bonus over opaque 'contact sales' approaches. Note: orchestrators show only routing fees, not underlying PSP costs, which can inflate this score.
Single API integration with full sandbox scores highest. We check documentation quality, SDK availability, pre-built connectors, and realistic onboarding timelines. A provider that gets you live in 1 week with excellent docs scores better than one requiring 8 weeks of custom engineering.
The final score is a weighted average of the five weighted metrics. We update scores quarterly or when a provider launches a significant product change.
Payment Service Providers (PSPs) handle the full transaction, moving money from the player's card or wallet all the way to the operator's bank account. Paysafe, Nuvei, and Worldpay are PSPs. They own the relationship with acquiring banks and card networks, which means they take on the risk and charge accordingly.
Gaming payment gateways sit between the operator's platform and one or more processors. They route transactions but don't process them directly. A gateway works like a switchboard, sending each transaction to the best available processor based on region, payment method, or success rate. Adyen and Worldpay operate partly as gateways alongside their acquiring business.
Payment Orchestrators go a step further than gateways. Platforms like Corefy, Finera, Primer, and IXOPAY connect to hundreds of PSPs, gateways, and processors through a single API. The operator integrates once and gets access to multiple providers, with smart routing that automatically picks the best path for each transaction. Orchestration matters when you're operating in 10+ markets with different payment preferences in each.
Payment Processors handle the actual movement of money between banks. They're the backend infrastructure. Most operators don't work with processors directly. Instead, they access processing through a PSP or gateway. IXOPAY is an example of a company that offers an orchestration layer routing to multiple processors for iGaming.
The lines between these categories blur. Nuvei is a PSP that also does orchestration. Corefy orchestrates but also processes. When you're evaluating providers, focus less on what they call themselves and more on what they actually do for your specific setup.
Common Payment Challenges in iGaming
Payments in iGaming are harder than payments in regular e-commerce. Three reasons.
First, chargebacks. iGaming has some of the highest chargeback rates of any industry. Players dispute deposits after losing. Card networks monitor chargeback ratios closely, and if an operator crosses the threshold (typically 1% of transactions), they risk losing their merchant account entirely. Every provider handles chargebacks differently. Some offer prevention tools, some offer insurance, some just pass the cost to you.
Second, getting a merchant account in the first place. Most acquiring banks consider online gambling high-risk. That limits which processors will work with you, and the ones that will charge higher fees and impose rolling reserves (holding 5-10% of your processing volume for 6+ months as security). This is why iGaming-specific providers exist. They've built relationships with acquiring banks that understand the industry.
Third, compliance keeps changing. The EU's Sixth Anti-Money Laundering Directive added new requirements for transaction monitoring. The UK's Gambling Commission updated its rules on affordability checks, which directly affect payment flows. Brazil opened a licensed betting market in January 2025 and banned sports betting and online casino on September 25, 2026, barring banks and payment institutions from processing betting transactions. Every market has its own rules, and your payment provider needs to keep up. Otherwise, you're the one paying fines.
Beyond these three, there are practical problems: multi-currency conversion costs eating into margins, slow settlement times tying up working capital, and player verification requirements that add friction to the deposit flow and kill conversion rates.
Choosing the Right Payment Solution
There's no single best provider. The right choice depends on where you operate, what your players expect, and how much volume you're processing.
Start with geography. If you're launching in Peru, you need a payment gateway registered with MINCETUR, because your license application has to list the registration code of every provider you use. If you're in the Nordics, open banking through Trustly or Brite will convert better than card payments. If you're US-only, your provider list is short because few processors serve regulated US gambling.
Then look at your player base. Recreational casino players in Europe expect Visa and Mastercard. High-volume sports bettors in Asia use local bank transfers. Crypto-native players want Bitcoin deposits with instant confirmation. The payment methods your provider supports determine whether players actually complete their first deposit.
Volume matters for pricing. A startup processing €100K per month pays different rates than an operator doing €10M. Most PSPs have tiered pricing that drops as volume increases. Some charge flat percentage fees, others add per-transaction costs. Get quotes from at least three providers before committing.
Finally, think about what happens when things go wrong. Your provider's chargeback handling, fraud prevention, and customer support matter more than their marketing page. Ask for chargeback rates across their iGaming portfolio. Ask how fast their support responds to MID-related emergencies. Ask what happens to your funds if they decide to terminate your account.
We built this directory so operators can compare these factors without calling 30 sales teams. Use the filters, check the profiles, and make a shortlist based on data, not pitch decks.
FAQ
Built from real conversations with operators. Not the questions providers wish you'd ask.
Card networks classify online gambling as high-risk (MCC 7995). That means higher chargeback exposure, regulatory complexity across jurisdictions, and reputational risk for the acquiring bank. Stripe, Square and standard e-commerce processors won’t onboard you. PayPal will shut you down mid-transaction if they detect gambling activity. To process iGaming payments you need a provider with dedicated high-risk acquiring relationships, gambling-specific compliance infrastructure, and experience navigating MGA, UKGC, or Kahnawake requirements. That’s why iGaming-specialized PSPs exist as a separate market.
A rolling reserve means your payment provider holds 5-10% of every transaction for 90-180 days before releasing it to you. It’s their insurance against chargebacks and fraud. At €1M monthly volume with a 10% reserve and 180-day hold, that’s €600K of your money sitting in their account earning them interest. Every iGaming PSP requires one because chargeback rates in gambling run 2-4x higher than e-commerce. The percentage and hold period are negotiable once you build processing history. New operators get the worst terms. After 6-12 months of clean processing, push to renegotiate.
Card acquiring runs 2.5-4.5% per transaction depending on your volume, chargeback history, and how badly the acquirer wants iGaming merchants that month. Open banking through Trustly or Brite costs 0.3-1.0% with no chargebacks. Crypto gateways charge 0.5-1.0% with instant settlement. On top of processing fees, budget for setup costs (€0-5,000), monthly minimums (€500-2,000 at some providers), rolling reserves (5-10% held for months), and currency conversion markup (1-3% above mid-market rate). The cheapest payment method is almost never the one your players prefer, so cost optimization means offering multiple methods and routing each transaction to the cheapest rail that works.
A PSP (Payment Service Provider) processes your transactions. They have the acquiring bank relationship, they take on risk, they move money from the player’s account to yours. Nuvei, Worldpay, Paysafe are PSPs. A gateway is a connection layer that sends transaction data between your platform and a processor but doesn’t process anything itself. An orchestrator sits on top of multiple PSPs and routes each transaction to the one most likely to approve it based on region, card type, amount, and historical success rates. IXOPAY, Corefy, Primer are orchestrators. You always need at least one PSP. You need an orchestrator when you’re running multiple PSPs and want to optimize approval rates across them.
iGaming chargeback rates typically run 1.5-3.0%. Visa’s VAMP threshold (it replaced VDMP in April 2025) is 1.5% combined fraud-plus-disputes in North America, Europe and APAC from April 2026, at $8 per disputed transaction; Mastercard’s ECM trips at 1.5% plus 100 chargebacks, with monthly fines that start around $1K and escalate. Three things actually move the needle. First, use clear billing descriptors so players recognize the charge on their statement and don’t file a dispute by mistake. Second, implement velocity checks and deposit limits to catch problem gambling behavior before it turns into “I didn’t authorize this” disputes. Third, use providers with built-in chargeback prevention tools like Verifi or Ethoca alerts, which let you refund a transaction before it becomes a formal chargeback. Open banking and crypto eliminate card chargebacks entirely because there’s no card network to dispute through.
They hold your rolling reserve for the full contract period (usually 90-180 days after termination), deduct any pending chargebacks and fines, and release what’s left. Some providers have been known to stretch this process or dispute the final amount. You have very little leverage once they’ve decided to terminate. The contract you signed dictates everything. Before signing with any provider, read the termination clause. Specifically: how much notice they give you, how long they hold funds after termination, whether they can freeze your account before formal termination, and what counts as a breach on your side. The best protection is processing through at least two PSPs so a single termination doesn’t shut down your entire deposit flow overnight.
PCI DSS Level 1 is the baseline. Every provider handling card data needs it. Beyond that, look for payment institution licenses from regulators in your target markets. FCA authorization matters for UK operations. In the EU, authorization comes from national competent authorities (BaFin in Germany, DNB in the Netherlands, the CSSF in Luxembourg) with EEA passporting on top. MAS licensing covers Singapore and parts of Asia. For crypto providers, MiCA compliance is becoming the European standard since 2025. The provider’s license determines which markets they can legally process in and what level of regulatory protection you have if something goes wrong. A provider without proper licensing in your target jurisdiction puts your own gambling license at risk. Check the regulator’s public registry directly. Don’t take the provider’s word for it.
Start with one PSP that covers your primary market. Add a second PSP when you expand to a region your first one doesn’t cover well. Once you’re running two or more PSPs, add an orchestrator to route transactions between them automatically. Layer in open banking for European markets where card conversion is dropping post-PSD2. Add a crypto gateway if your player base demands it. Add a LATAM specialist like AstroPay or PayRetailers when you enter Mexico or Peru because your global PSP will not clear local methods there. The mistake operators make is trying to build this stack on day one. Start lean, add layers when you hit the specific problem each layer solves, and make sure every new integration goes through your orchestrator so you’re not managing five separate dashboards.
