CoinPayments ReviewIs It the Right Payment Solution for Your iGaming Business?
Average
CoinPayments is the oldest surviving multi-crypto payment gateway, running since 2013 with support for 2,200+ cryptocurrencies in its wallet and 175+ for payment processing. 250,000+ merchants across 190+ countries. Fees start at 0.5% for coins, 1% for stablecoins and tokens. Instant settlement in crypto. No minimum volume, no contracts, no setup fees. The appeal is simple: if you want to accept every obscure altcoin alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, nobody else comes close on coin count. But there are serious red flags. Owners Jason Butcher and Alex Alexandrov have documented ties to the $4 billion OneCoin Ponzi scheme, and the CFTC found $147M in laundered funds routed through the platform via Control Finance. Website traffic dropped significantly over the past year. A new platform launched in May 2025 with faster verification, the company re-entered the US market in November 2025, and Ali Rafi was appointed CEO in mid-2025. But the underlying trust issues remain.
Quick Info
iGaming Score
Our iGaming Score: 6.3/10
Weighted scoring across six criteria
| Criterion | Weight | Score | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| iGaming Fit Verticals list starts with 'Crypto' not 'iGaming', so algorithm rates it as Emerging. No dedicated gambling product, ticket-based support only, 2 platform integrations | 25% | 4.0 | Below Average |
| Geographic Coverage 190+ countries with global crypto acceptance. No geographic restrictions beyond blockchain availability | 20% | 5.0 | Below Average |
| Security & Compliance MGA and Curacao gambling support, 0% chargeback on crypto, semi-auto KYC. AML compliance listed but ISO 27001 not independently verified | 15% | 7.0 | Good |
| Fees & Pricing 0.5% for coins, 1% for stablecoins and tokens. No setup fees, no rolling reserve, no minimums. Among the cheapest in the crypto gateway space | 15% | 9.5 | Excellent |
| Tech & Integration Single API with plugins. Minutes to integrate technically, but high-risk onboarding adds 1-5 days. Documentation rated Basic | 15% | 7.0 | Good |
| User Trust 3.8/5 Trustpilot from ~1,084 reviews. Decent for a crypto gateway but mixed. Security flaw reports and frozen fund complaints alongside positive support experiences | 10% | 7.6 | Good |
| Overall | 100% | 6.3 | Average |
We score each provider on six criteria using a 1 to 10 scale. iGaming Fit carries the most weight at 25% because that is what matters most for gambling operators. Geographic Coverage gets 20%. Security and Compliance, Fees and Pricing, and Tech and Integration each get 15%. User Trust rounds it out at 10%. The final score is a weighted average of all six.
Score Explanation
Fees score highest at 9.1 because the 0.5-1% range with no setup costs, no rolling reserve and no minimums is objectively cheap. Geographic coverage hits 8.0 for 190+ country reach through blockchain infrastructure. User Trust at 7.4 reflects the 3.8/5 Trustpilot score from over 1,000 reviews, a reasonable sample size. Where it falls: iGaming Fit at 4.0 because the algorithm correctly identifies CoinPayments as crypto-first, not gambling-first. No dedicated iGaming product, no gambling-specific compliance tools, ticket-based support instead of dedicated account management. Security at 7.0 gets points for MGA and Curacao support plus 0% chargebacks, but the algorithm does not factor in the OneCoin Ponzi connections and CFTC findings. If it did, this score would be significantly lower. The 7.0 reflects regulatory checkbox scoring, not actual trustworthiness of the organization's leadership.
Who Is CoinPayments Best For?
Weighted scoring across six criteria
Recommended For
Crypto-native casinos accepting altcoins. Crypto-native casinos that want to accept every altcoin their players might hold. 2,200+ supported cryptocurrencies in the wallet (175+ for payment processing) is more than any other provider in our database. NOWPayments supports 350+, CoinsPaid does 20+, BitPay does 100+. If your players trade meme coins and you want to capture those deposits, CoinPayments is the only option with that breadth.
Small operators testing crypto deposits. Small operators testing whether crypto deposits work for their audience. Zero setup fees, zero minimum volume, no contracts. You can add CoinPayments today, see if players actually use it, and remove it next month if they don't. NOWPayments has similar accessibility but with fewer coins.
Projects needing maximum coin variety. Projects that need a crypto gateway running in minutes rather than weeks. Technical integration through plugins and a straightforward API is genuinely fast. If speed to market matters more than compliance depth, this gets you live quickly.
Budget-conscious startups. Budget-conscious operations where fees start at 0.5% for coins and 1% for stablecoins. Most crypto gateways charge 0.5-1% for similar service, so CoinPayments is competitive. NOWPayments charges 0.5% at the low end. The real savings come from zero rolling reserve and zero setup costs.
Not Recommended For
Regulated operators in strict jurisdictions. Any operator in a strictly regulated market who needs their payment provider to pass due diligence review. The OneCoin Ponzi connections and CFTC findings will raise immediate red flags with compliance teams and licensing authorities. MGA and UKGC-licensed operators should think carefully about whether associating with CoinPayments creates regulatory risk for their own licenses.
Enterprise casinos needing compliance confidence. Enterprise operations that need dedicated account management. CoinPayments runs ticket-based support only. No dedicated account manager, no enterprise team, no phone support. CoinsPaid and NOWPayments both offer dedicated iGaming account managers at comparable price points.
Operators requiring dedicated account management. Operators who need fiat settlement. CoinPayments primarily settles in cryptocurrency. Fiat conversion options exist but are limited compared to CoinsPaid, which converts to EUR for regulated operators, or BitPay, which does USD/EUR settlement at T+1.
Fiat-focused payment stacks. Platforms requiring advanced KYC/AML automation. Semi-auto KYC means manual steps in the verification flow. CoinsPaid and CoinGate both offer full auto KYC/AML. For a gambling operator where player verification speed directly affects deposit completion, semi-auto adds friction.
Geographic Coverage
Supported regions and market focus
Regions
Coverage Analysis
190+ countries through blockchain infrastructure. Crypto payments are borderless by design, so geographic coverage is essentially global minus sanctioned nations. No local acquiring relationships needed, no banking partnerships required. The limitation is on the fiat conversion side: converting crypto to local currency for operator settlement depends on exchange liquidity in each market. CoinsPaid handles this through direct banking relationships in Europe. NOWPayments offers fiat settlement in select corridors. CoinPayments keeps things mostly in crypto, which is either a feature or a limitation depending on your treasury strategy.
Regional Breakdown
Global crypto coverage means any player with a crypto wallet can deposit from anywhere. No country-specific payment method integration needed. Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa all work identically through the blockchain. The gap versus competitors is in local method depth. CoinGate has MiCA licensing for European regulatory compliance. CoinsPaid has EU banking relationships for fiat conversion. CoinPayments operates more like infrastructure than a regulated financial service in most jurisdictions. For iGaming operators specifically, this means crypto deposits work globally but fiat cashouts to your bank account may need a separate provider depending on your banking jurisdiction.

Key Features for iGaming Operators
Products, payment methods, and verticals
Key Products
Crypto Gateway, Mass payouts, Multi-coin support
Three products. The Crypto Gateway is the core offering: accept crypto payments from customers, receive settlement in crypto or limited fiat. Mass Payouts handle bulk disbursements to multiple recipients in one API call. The Custodial Wallet provides storage for received crypto. The May 2025 platform relaunch added instant transaction verification, express KYB for businesses, real-time invoicing and improved gas fee management across account-based wallets. No fiat payment products, no card processing, no open banking.
Payment Methods
2,200+ cryptocurrencies in the wallet, 175+ available for payment processing. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ripple and every major coin plus thousands of altcoins, tokens and meme coins. This is the core differentiator. NOWPayments supports 350+, CoinsPaid does 20+, BitPay does 100+, CoinGate does 70+. If a coin exists and has any trading volume, CoinPayments probably supports it. Mass payouts handle bulk withdrawals in crypto. Instant settlement means your deposits confirm without waiting for multiple blockchain confirmations after the May 2025 platform update. No fiat payment methods. No cards, no bank transfers, no wallets. Crypto only.
Verticals
Crypto and iGaming listed as supported verticals. In practice, CoinPayments is a horizontal crypto gateway that serves eCommerce, iGaming, forex and anyone else who wants to accept crypto. No gambling-specific features, no responsible gaming integration, no deposit limit tools. The iGaming operator experience is identical to the eCommerce merchant experience. Your support tickets go into the same ticket queue as a Shopify store accepting Bitcoin. CoinsPaid dedicates 70%+ of revenue to iGaming clients. CoinPayments does not disclose vertical mix but gambling is clearly not the primary focus.

Pricing Details
Fees depend on the asset type: 0.5% for coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.), 1% for stablecoins and tokens. No setup fees, no monthly fees, no rolling reserve, no minimum volume. Deposits to the wallet are free up to $15,000/month equivalent, 0.5% above that. No withdrawal fees from CoinPayments itself, but network gas fees apply. Conversion between tokens costs 1.5%, within stablecoins 1%. NOWPayments charges 0.5-1%, so it's cheaper at the low end. CoinsPaid charges 0.8% plus network fees. CoinGate charges roughly 1%. BitPay charges 1-2% tiered. The absence of rolling reserve is notable: Nuvei holds 3-8% for 6 months, AstroPay holds 5-8% for 3 months. With crypto payments there is no chargeback risk so no reserve is needed. Based on current pricing, April 2026.
Negotiation Tips
The 0.5% coin rate is competitive, but compare it against NOWPayments' 0.5% starting rate with no asset-type distinction. If you process mostly stablecoins, CoinPayments charges 1% while NOWPayments may be cheaper. Push CoinPayments for volume-based discounts if your monthly crypto volume exceeds $100k. The 1-1.5% conversion fee matters if you convert between crypto types or to fiat frequently. If you can hold crypto on your balance sheet or use a separate exchange for conversion, you avoid this fee entirely. Before committing, run the compliance calculation: would your licensing authority flag CoinPayments' documented Ponzi connections during a payment provider audit? If the answer is maybe, the savings versus a cleaner competitor like CoinGate are not worth the regulatory risk.

Settlement optionsDeposits are instant with the May 2025 platform update adding instant transaction verification without waiting for multiple blockchain confirmations. Withdrawals are instant in crypto. Settlement is instant for crypto, no T+ delay. This is faster than BitPay at T+1 for fiat settlement and faster than any fiat provider in the database. Integration takes minutes for the technical API connection plus 1-5 days for high-risk KYC onboarding. Faster than CoinsPaid and CoinGate for getting live. Refunds are instant in crypto. The speed advantage is real but comes with a tradeoff: instant settlement in crypto means you hold volatile assets on your books until you convert. Updated Q1 2026.

Integration Assessment
Single API with pre-built plugins for common platforms. Integration time listed as minutes for the technical setup, which is accurate for the API call itself. High-risk onboarding adds 1-5 days for compliance verification. Documentation rated Basic, the lowest quality rating in our database. API docs exist but lack the depth and examples that NOWPayments and CoinGate provide. No pre-built iGaming platform connectors for SoftSwiss, Slotegrator or EveryMatrix. Generic plugins and own backend integration only. CoinsPaid has SoftSwiss and Slotegrator connectors ready. CoinGate has SoftSwiss and Slotegrator too. Sandbox available for testing. May 2025 platform relaunch improved the integration experience with better callback handling and real-time monitoring. Updated Q1 2026.
Risk & Compliance
Licensing, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance
Supported Gambling Licenses
Compliance Context
AML compliance is listed. ISO 27001 certification is claimed but not independently verified. No banking license, no payment institution registration, no VASP license. Supports MGA and Curacao-licensed gambling operators. 0% chargeback liability because crypto transactions are irreversible by design, same as every other crypto gateway. Semi-auto KYC/AML is a step below the full automation that CoinsPaid and CoinGate offer. The elephant in the room: CoinPayments provided financial services to the OneCoin Ponzi scheme while owner Jason Butcher served as advisor, COO, and then CEO. The CFTC found that Control Finance laundered $147M through CoinPayments wallet addresses. Additional Ponzi funds from EminiFX ($3,658 BTC recovered) and others were traced through the platform. These are not allegations from competitors but findings from US federal regulators and court-ordered recoveries. For an iGaming operator whose own license depends on payment provider due diligence, this history demands serious consideration.
About CoinPayments: Company Background
Company and product information
Company History
Acquired in 2013 by Jason Butcher and Alex Alexandrov. Originally based in Vancouver, Canada. One of the first multi-cryptocurrency payment gateways at a time when Bitcoin was the only coin most processors supported. Early differentiation came from supporting dozens of altcoins when competitors only handled Bitcoin.
Growth through the crypto boom years of 2017-2018 pushed the merchant count past 100,000. During this period, multiple fraud connections surfaced. CoinPayments provided services to the $4 billion OneCoin Ponzi while Butcher served as advisor (2015) and then COO (2017). Butcher became CEO in late 2019. The CFTC revealed $147M in Control Finance funds laundered through CoinPayments wallet addresses in 2019. Additional Ponzi funds from EminiFX and others were later traced through the platform. A lawsuit in the Cayman Islands Grand Court by Samir Bandali alleges unjust enrichment. Alexandrov moved to Dubai, Butcher reportedly to the Cayman Islands.
Today: 250,000+ merchants, 2,200+ cryptocurrencies, 190+ countries. Over $50B in total processed transactions. Raised $30.1M in funding (including a $30M Series A in 2018). 65+ employees. Ali Rafi appointed CEO in mid-2025, replacing Butcher. New platform launched May 2025 with instant verification and improved merchant tools. The company re-entered the US market in November 2025. Website traffic has declined significantly over the past year, suggesting users are migrating to newer competitors like NOWPayments and CoinGate. The company lists offices in London and the Cayman Islands. Partnership with Jetcraft and Stake Sauber F1 team in 2025 suggests marketing spend continues. Updated Q2 2026.
What Users Say: Trustpilot & Review Analysis
Our analysis of 1,088 reviews from Trustpilot and industry sources
Review Analysis
3.8/5 on Trustpilot from approximately 1,084 reviews. Decent for a crypto payment processor. CoinGate has 3.6/5 from 1,664 reviews. NOWPayments has 4.4/5 from about 750 reviews. CoinsPaid has 3.5/5 from fewer reviews. Positive CoinPayments reviews mention quick onboarding, helpful support teams and fast refund processing. Negative reviews report a critical security flaw where checkout amounts could be manipulated by buyers, funds frozen without notice when countries get blacklisted, high withdrawal fees on certain coins, and dormant account fees.
Context for Operators
The mixed reviews reflect a platform that works fine when everything goes smoothly but has gaps in edge case handling. The security flaw report where a buyer paid $1.50 for a $500 product with the system marking it as complete is concerning for any merchant, not just gambling operators. CoinPayments' response to negative reviews appears inconsistent. The declining website traffic suggests some merchants are voting with their feet. NOWPayments' higher score from fewer reviews indicates better satisfaction among a smaller but growing user base.
Notable Clients
250k+ merchants
250,000+ merchants claimed across all verticals. No named iGaming operator clients. The only specific partnership mentioned is Jetcraft for aircraft sales and Stake Sauber F1 team sponsorship. In iGaming-specific lists and reviews, CoinPayments appears as one option among many crypto gateways but without named casino references. CoinsPaid claims 500+ casino clients. NOWPayments names Stake and 1xBet. CoinPayments has no equivalent public gambling client references.

Frequently Asked Questions
8 questions about CoinPayments
Mixed. On the technical side, 0% chargebacks and AML compliance provide basic security. On the organizational side, owner Jason Butcher's documented involvement with the $4B OneCoin Ponzi and $147M in laundered Control Finance funds traced through CoinPayments by the CFTC create real compliance questions. If your gambling license requires payment provider due diligence, run this past your compliance team before integrating. CoinGate with MiCA licensing or CoinsPaid with an Estonian license offer cleaner regulatory profiles.
2,200+ in the wallet, 175+ available for payment processing. Still the highest count in the industry by a wide margin. NOWPayments does 350+, BitPay does 100+, CoinGate does 70+, CoinsPaid does 20+. If your players hold obscure altcoins or meme tokens and you want to capture those deposits, CoinPayments is the only realistic option.
0.5% for coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.), 1% for stablecoins and tokens. No setup fee, no monthly fee, no rolling reserve, no minimum volume. Conversion fees of 1-1.5% apply when swapping between crypto types. Wallet deposits free up to $15k/month. NOWPayments starts at 0.5% with no asset-type distinction. CoinsPaid charges 0.8% plus network fees. Updated April 2026.
No. Generic plugins and own backend integration only. No SoftSwiss, no Slotegrator, no EveryMatrix connectors. CoinsPaid has SoftSwiss and Slotegrator ready. CoinGate has SoftSwiss and Slotegrator too. If you run either platform, you need custom API work with CoinPayments.
CoinPayments has more coins at 2,200+ versus 350+ and has been around longer since 2013. NOWPayments is cheaper at 0.5% starting rate versus CoinPayments' 0.5-1% (depending on asset type), has better documentation, more iGaming platform connectors, higher Trustpilot score at 4.4/5, and no Ponzi scheme connections in its history. For most iGaming operators, NOWPayments is the safer and cheaper choice. CoinPayments only wins if altcoin variety is your top priority.
CoinPayments provided financial services to the $4B OneCoin Ponzi scheme while owner Jason Butcher served as advisor from 2015, COO from 2017, and CEO from late 2019. When this was reported in 2022, CoinPayments denied involvement on social media, but was caught still providing services to OneCoin within days. The CFTC found that Control Finance laundered $147M through CoinPayments wallet addresses. Additional Ponzi funds from EminiFX and others were traced through the platform. A lawsuit by Samir Bandali in the Cayman Islands Grand Court alleges unjust enrichment.
Limited fiat settlement available alongside primary crypto settlement. If you need reliable EUR or USD settlement from crypto deposits, CoinsPaid has direct EU banking relationships for fiat conversion. BitPay settles in USD/EUR at T+1. CoinPayments is strongest when you want to hold crypto on your balance sheet and convert through your own exchange.
Yes. New platform launched May 2025 with instant verification and improved merchant tools. Ali Rafi appointed CEO in mid-2025. Re-entered the US market in November 2025. Partnership with Stake Sauber F1 team and Jetcraft. 250,000+ merchants claimed. But website traffic has declined significantly, suggesting some user migration to competitors. The company continues operating and hired new executives in early 2026, but appears to be losing market share to newer alternatives.
Our Verdict: Should You Use CoinPayments?
Final assessment for iGaming operators
Overall iGaming Score
Summary
The most coins, the longest track record, simple pricing. CoinPayments has been processing crypto since 2013 with 2,200+ supported cryptocurrencies that no competitor matches. Fees starting at 0.5% with zero barriers to entry make it accessible to any operator. But the organizational trust issues are real and documented by US federal regulators. For a small crypto casino that just wants altcoin deposits running today, CoinPayments works. For any regulated operator whose license depends on clean payment provider partnerships, the risk-reward calculation points elsewhere.
Strongest Point
Cryptocurrency breadth. 2,200+ coins in the wallet versus 350+ at NOWPayments, 100+ at BitPay, 70+ at CoinGate and 20+ at CoinsPaid. This is not a marginal advantage. If your casino caters to the crypto-native crowd who hold Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Solana meme tokens and thousands of other altcoins, CoinPayments is the only gateway that lets them deposit with whatever they already have in their wallet. Every other provider forces players to convert to Bitcoin or Ethereum first, and conversion friction kills deposits.
Key Limitation
Trust. The OneCoin connections, the CFTC laundering findings, multiple Ponzi funds traced through the platform, the Cayman Islands lawsuit, the owners relocating to Dubai and the Cayman Islands. These are not internet rumors but documented regulatory findings and legal proceedings. An iGaming operator choosing CoinPayments carries the risk that their own licensing authority asks uncomfortable questions during the next audit. At 0.5-1% fees, you are paying about the same as competitors who do not have this baggage. CoinGate charges roughly 1% with MiCA licensing. NOWPayments charges 0.5% with a clean record.
Recommendation
Use CoinPayments only if maximum altcoin variety is a business requirement that outweighs compliance considerations. Unregulated crypto casinos targeting the altcoin community will find value here. MGA or UKGC-licensed operators should document their due diligence thoroughly if proceeding, or choose CoinGate or NOWPayments instead. If your crypto volume is under $50k monthly, NOWPayments does everything CoinPayments does for the major coins at a comparable or lower fee with better documentation and no regulatory red flags. Updated April 2026.
Pros
- 2,200+ supported cryptocurrencies in the wallet, 175+ for payment processing. Largest coin selection in the industry by a wide margin. If a coin has any trading volume, CoinPayments probably supports it. For casinos targeting the crypto-native audience, this means deposits from any wallet without forcing conversion first.
- Zero barriers to entry. No setup fee, no monthly fee, no minimum volume, no contract lock-in, no rolling reserve. You can test crypto payments with zero financial commitment and shut it down tomorrow. NOWPayments and CoinGate have similarly low barriers but most fiat processors require $100k+ minimums and setup fees.
- Instant crypto settlement. No T+1, no T+3, no waiting. Deposits confirm immediately after the May 2025 platform update. Crypto arrives in your merchant wallet instantly. Faster than any fiat settlement in our database. If you can manage crypto on your balance sheet, this is the fastest money flow available.
- 13 years of operating history since 2013. The oldest surviving multi-crypto gateway. 250,000+ merchants and over $50B in total processed transactions. However long running does not mean well run, given the documented controversies.
- Mass payout capability for bulk crypto withdrawals through a single API call. Handles thousands of player payouts simultaneously. Useful for tournament payouts or batch processing withdrawal queues.
- Fees starting at 0.5% for coins and 1% for stablecoins/tokens with no hidden charges. No interchange, no scheme fees, no per-transaction fixed costs. Straightforward to budget. NOWPayments starts at 0.5% with no asset-type distinction.
Cons
- Documented connections to the $4B OneCoin Ponzi scheme, $147M in CFTC-identified laundered Control Finance funds, and additional Ponzi funds from EminiFX and others traced through the platform. These are not competitor allegations but US federal regulatory findings and court recoveries. For regulated iGaming operators, this creates tangible compliance risk during license audits.
- No dedicated iGaming features. No responsible gaming tools, no deposit limits, no self-exclusion integration, no gambling-specific compliance tools. CoinPayments treats a casino the same as a Shopify store. CoinsPaid builds specifically for iGaming with 70%+ gambling revenue.
- Ticket-based support only. No dedicated account manager, no phone support, no enterprise team. If your crypto deposits stop processing at midnight on a Saturday, you submit a ticket and wait. CoinsPaid and CoinGate both offer dedicated account management.
- No iGaming platform connectors. No SoftSwiss, no Slotegrator, no EveryMatrix. CoinsPaid and CoinGate both have SoftSwiss and Slotegrator connectors ready. Custom API integration required for every platform.
- Semi-auto KYC/AML. Manual steps in the verification process add friction that full-auto providers like CoinGate and CoinsPaid avoid. For a gambling operator where player onboarding speed affects deposit completion, this matters.
- Website traffic declining significantly year-over-year. The market is moving toward newer competitors with better compliance and lower fees. The May 2025 platform relaunch and US re-entry aim to reverse this but the trend is downward.
