Request Network Review
Fees, licenses, coverage and payouts for iGaming operators
By the iGaming Payment Solutions Editorial Team ·
What operators ask about Request Network
Is Request Network legit?
Yes. The Request Network Foundation in Zug has run the protocol since its March 2018 mainnet launch, and it holds no payment license, so KYC, AML and sanctions checks are the operator's job.
How much does Request Network charge?
- Deposits: 0.9% per payment, capped at $500 and paid by the player by default
- Payouts: the same 0.9% capped at $500, paid by the operator
- Tron: a flat $3.99 per payment on top, with EVM gas already in the fee
- No setup fee, no monthly fee and no rolling reserve
Does Request Network have a SoftSwiss integration?
No. Request Network runs no casino-platform connector, so a SoftSwiss operator builds on the REST API, which takes hours, and the API key comes the same day.
Does Request Network support fiat payments?
No. It takes crypto only, with no cards, bank transfers, open banking or local methods such as Pix, SPEI and OXXO. The only fiat leg is an optional off-ramp from USDC to a bank account, operated by Request Technologies UAB.

We score each provider on 5 weighted criteria using a 1 to 10 scale. iGaming Fit carries the most weight at 30%, because it measures whether and how directly the provider serves gambling. Geographic Coverage gets 22%. Security & Compliance gets 20%. Fees & Pricing gets 16%. Tech & Integration gets 12%. The final score is a weighted average of those 5. Trustpilot is shown for context and carries no weight, since most reviews on a payment provider's profile come from players rather than from the operators it serves.
Score Explanation
Price and integration are the high lines in Request Network's 6.5. Fees & Pricing reaches 9.3 on a flat 0.9% deposit rate, and Tech & Integration is 9 on a REST API integration and an API key issued the same day. iGaming Fit is 6: the protocol takes gambling merchants directly, yet it runs without a dedicated iGaming team, a casino-platform connector or direct acquiring. Security & Compliance is 5 because neither the foundation nor its Lithuanian off-ramp company holds a license, while the rail itself carries no chargebacks and Hypernative screens wallets before signing. Global crypto reach across 180 countries puts Geographic Coverage at 5, and with no Trustpilot profile User Trust shows 5.
Who Is Request Network Best For?
The operator profiles that fit, and the ones that do not
Recommended For
- Offshore casinos paid in USDT and USDC. Stablecoins carry most of your deposits, you run under a Curacao or other offshore license, and you want the money in your own wallet. Players pay in whatever token and chain they already hold, and every deposit reaches you as the one stablecoin you picked, on the chain you picked.
- High-roller stablecoin deposits. VIP deposits of $100,000 or more pay the $500 cap, which is 0.5% of the ticket at $100,000 and 0.25% at $200,000, and the saving is yours when you absorb the fee for the player.
- Small books testing a second crypto rail. Request Network sets no volume floor and no lock-in, so a crypto book under $100k a month qualifies and can leave at any time. CoinsPaid starts at a $100k+ minimum and BVNK at $500,000 a month.
Not Recommended For
- Cashiers that need cards or bank transfers. Request Network processes crypto only, so every card, bank-transfer and e-wallet deposit needs a second provider and a second reconciliation workflow. Nuvei carries 720+ methods.
- Latin American local-method books. Latin American players who pay by SPEI, OXXO or another local method cannot deposit through Request Network, which carries no local method in any market. AstroPay runs its wallet in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Peru and Chile, where players fund it from those methods, and charges 1-2.5% per deposit.
- Licensed EU and UK operators. Neither the Request Network Foundation nor Request Technologies UAB holds a payment license or a MiCA authorization, and the off-ramp's Lithuanian VASP registration lapsed on December 31, 2025, so its compliance model falls short for UKGC and other licensed markets. CoinGate has held a Bank of Lithuania CASP authorization since December 16, 2025, and BVNK one from the MFSA since February 13, 2026. For a UKGC license, Nuvei and Paysafe both hold FCA e-money licenses and serve UKGC licensees.
- Procurement that needs references. The iGaming product launched on June 1, 2026 and has no reference casino or sportsbook client and no case study. If your vendor review asks for a track record, NOWPayments carries a 4.5 Trustpilot rating from 1,076 reviews.
Geographic Coverage
Per-market verdict, regions, and market focus
Coverage Analysis
Request Network runs no country allowlist and no geo-blocking, so a player with a crypto wallet can deposit from 180 countries. The practical limits come from the operator's own KYC and from Hypernative, which blocks sanctioned and high-risk addresses at the transaction level. The protocol acquires nothing locally, so a player who wants SPEI in Mexico or a bank transfer in Europe needs a separate provider.
Key Features for iGaming Operators
Products, payment methods, and verticals
Key Products
- Crypto deposit acceptance (Accept)
- Payouts/disbursements (Send)
- Hosted secure payment page
- KYT wallet screening
- Crypto-to-fiat off-ramp
Request Network runs two protocol products, with Hypernative KYT screening wrapped around both. Accept is the hosted one-click deposit page: it takes stablecoins from every supported chain, gasless on the six EVM chains, and settles into the operator's own wallet. Send is a Payouts API for single, batch and recurring disbursements from that same wallet. The crypto-to-fiat off-ramp, run by the Lithuanian company Request Technologies UAB, converts USDC to bank payouts and is the one custodial, KYC-gated step in an otherwise non-custodial flow.
Payment Methods
Request Network takes crypto on 7 chains: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Tron, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism. USDT and USDC are the headline stablecoins, the deposit page also takes major coins, and one integration reaches 95% of the global stablecoin supply. A player pays with whatever token and chain the wallet holds, Ethereum USDT for example, and the operator receives its chosen stablecoin on its chosen chain, such as Base USDC, while Li.Fi runs the swap and bridge in between.
Verticals
Request Network serves gambling operators directly, and iGaming has been its headline vertical since the June 2026 launch, next to general crypto payments and Web3 commerce.

Pricing Details
Request Network charges one protocol fee, 0.9% per payment capped at $500, on regular, batch, conversion and cross-chain payments alike. The payer bears it by default, which on a deposit is the player, and the operator can take it on by reducing the invoice amount before the request is created. A $50,000 deposit carries $450, and every payment from $55,556 up pays the flat $500. On crypto deposits the 0.9% rate sits inside CoinsPaid's 0.8-1% band and under NOWPayments' 1% starting fee. Payouts carry the same fee with the operator as payer. Gas is included on the six EVM chains, and a payer on Tron adds a flat $3.99 per payment. Hypernative screening adds no charge when enabled. The player pays Li.Fi's swap and bridge fee on a cross-chain deposit, and an operator or orchestrator can add its own markup, paid to a wallet it names. There is no setup fee, no monthly fee and no integration fee. No rolling reserve applies, because the protocol never takes possession of operator funds. On July 30, 2026 the fee rose from 0.05% capped at $25 to 0.9% capped at $500, an eighteenfold rate increase and a twentyfold cap increase. The fee can change again, and the API returns the current rate with every payment response.
Negotiation Tips
Left on the player, the deposit fee costs you nothing, and absorbing it only on VIP deposits large enough to hit the cap keeps your cost per VIP deposit fixed at the cap. Payouts are the part of the fee that lands on your own books, so negotiate the payout rate first. Run payouts on EVM chains, where gas is included and batch payouts work, and keep Tron for players who insist on it, since each Tron payout adds $3.99. Keep conversion to fiat outside the Request Network flow, because the off-ramp is the one custodial step. Build your cost reporting on the live fee the API returns with each payment rather than on a fixed rate in a spreadsheet.
Speed & Settlement
Transaction processing and settlement timelines
- Deposit
- Instant same‑chain, 5 min cross‑chain
- Withdrawal
- Instant (on‑chain)
- Settlement
- InstantSettlement is the on-chain confirmation itself, so there is no T+ window. Because the protocol is non-custodial, funds land in the operator's own wallet rather than being paid out of a processor balance.
- Settlement currencies
- Stablecoins (USDT/USDC) on the operator's chosen chain, with an optional off‑ramp from USDC to fiat
- Refunds
- Manual send‑back
A same-chain deposit confirms in one block, and a cross-chain deposit adds 5 minutes of bridge time through Li.Fi. Settlement is the on-chain confirmation itself: the funds land in the operator's own wallet, in its chosen coin on its chosen chain, with a payment reference that reconciles each deposit automatically, so there is no T+ window and no processor balance in between. A player withdrawal is an on-chain send from the operator's wallet that confirms in the target chain's block time, from seconds to a couple of minutes, with no processor hold. NOWPayments and CoinsPaid also settle crypto instantly, so speed is level among the three and the difference is custody, since Request Network's settlement never passes through a processor account. Crypto payments are irreversible, so a refund is a new outbound payment the operator sends by hand.

Integration Assessment
Operators integrate directly, through a single REST API (api.request.network/v2) with HMAC-signed webhooks, a hosted payment page at pay.request.network that runs on one-time links, or the open-source JS/TS SDK under the @requestnetwork scope, with mobile through Expo and React Native. The hosted page is the fastest route: the operator generates a link, the player connects a wallet, and on the six EVM chains the deposit is gasless through ERC-4337 account abstraction, so the player needs no native gas token. An API key comes the same day and the build takes hours, while production access and the fiat off-ramp wait on a manual approval and KYB step. CoinsPaid onboards in 3-7 days and BVNK in 2-4 weeks, so a Request Network build can start days to weeks earlier. No casino-platform connector exists, which means operators on SoftSwiss, Slotegrator or EveryMatrix build the REST integration themselves.
Risk & Compliance
Licensing, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance
- KYC/AML Automation
- Available. Semi-autoHypernative screens the connected wallet against sanctions and high-risk lists before the player signs. The screening covers transactions rather than player identity, and the operator switches it on.
- Chargeback Protection
- Available. No chargebacks (crypto rail)
Licenses and Registrations
- No financial supervisorPayment licencenot heldRequest Network Foundation
The foundation holds no MSB, VASP, EMI or MiCA registration. The non-custodial model is the basis for operating without money transmitter licensing, and the operator carries KYC, AML and sanctions responsibility.
- FCIS LithuaniaVASP registrationcanceledRequest Technologies UABLithuanian company code 306291868until Dec 31, 2025
The registration covers the crypto to fiat off-ramp, and no CASP authorization replaces it under MiCA.
- Fraud Prevention
- Pre-transaction wallet screening (Hypernative KYT)
- Responsible Gaming
- NoRequest Network is an infrastructure protocol, so responsible-gaming tooling sits with the operator.
- Tokenization
- NoNon-custodial, crypto-native. No card tokenization/vault.
- Dispute Resolution
- None, since crypto settlement is irreversible, which leaves any dispute with the operator.
Compliance Context
Hypernative screens the player's connected wallet against sanctions, scam, mixer, darknet and exposure-threshold policies before the player can sign, and a failed check disables the sign button so the funds never move. Since a settled crypto deposit cannot be reversed, that check is the one point where a tainted deposit can still be stopped. The screening is opt-in per payment destination and off by default. It checks the transaction rather than the player: the crypto path runs no identity verification, so KYC, AML and sanctions duty stays with the operator, and player KYC through Sumsub runs only on the optional fiat off-ramp. AML automation is therefore semi-automated, with Hypernative automating the wallet check. Two privacy flags let the operator hide the amount until the wallet clears and hide the payee address. The same finality means no chargeback or clawback reaches the operator, and any dispute stays with it. The smart contracts are audited, and the hosted page hardcodes trusted contract addresses.
Regulatory Position
The Request Network Foundation (Request Network Stiftung) is a community-owned non-profit foundation in Zug, funded through the REQ token rather than venture capital, and it holds no payment license of any kind, MiCA authorization included. The non-custodial model is the legal basis on which it operates without money transmitter licensing. Request Network does not act as a compliance, legal or risk-management service, so the operator carries KYC, AML and sanctions compliance. The fiat off-ramp runs through Request Technologies UAB in Lithuania, whose VASP registration ended on December 31, 2025 under MiCA with no CASP authorization in its place. The model works for offshore and Curacao-licensed operators and falls short on its own for UKGC and other licensed markets.

Company History
2017: Christophe Lassuyt and Etienne Tatur, Y Combinator alumni who had co-founded the money-transfer startup Moneytis, founded Request Network. The REQ token sale in October raised $33.6 million, and the Request Network Stiftung was registered as a foundation in Zug in December.
March 2018: The protocol mainnet went live as on-chain infrastructure for payment requests and invoices.
2021: The commercial side spun off as Request Finance, a separate B2B company led by Lassuyt that builds crypto invoicing, payroll and accounting software on the protocol.
2025: Tristan Wallaert joined as Head of Ecosystem and became CEO of the Request Network Foundation, with Lassuyt and Tatur staying on as President and Vice President.
June 1, 2026: The foundation launched its iGaming product, cross-chain stablecoin deposits with Hypernative wallet screening built in.
July 30, 2026: The protocol fee rose eighteenfold in one reprice, with gas on the EVM chains folded into it.
What Users Say About Request Network
Trustpilot and clients
Trustpilot Presence
Request Network has no Trustpilot profile and no operator or player review history. Until reviews exist, the open-source SDK, the audited contracts, the public documentation and the non-custodial design are what an operator can assess.
Clients
No casino or sportsbook serves as a reference client for the iGaming product, and there is no gambling case study. An operator that signs now goes live without another gambling operator's production volume to learn from.

On $1M of monthly crypto deposits Request Network locks up nothing: there is no reserve, no money in transit because settlement is the on-chain confirmation, no minimum volume and no lock-in, so the operator can stop routing deposits through it at any time. The operator's running cost is $3,600 in payout fees on $400,000 of payouts, while $9,000 in deposit fees on the $1M falls on players when every ticket sits below the cap. Support is self-serve and developer-oriented, with no dedicated account manager, and production access and the off-ramp go through a direct onboarding step.
Frequently Asked Questions
9 questions about Request Network
Payouts and settlement are instant on-chain: the operator owns a deposit once the chain confirms it, in one block on the same chain or 5 minutes later across chains, and a player withdrawal arrives within the target chain's block time, which runs from seconds to a couple of minutes, with no processor hold.
Integration takes hours: onboarding is self-serve with an API key the same day, the hosted page goes live with a single link, and going to production or using the off-ramp takes a manual KYB approval.
Request Network runs on 7 chains: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Tron, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism. USDT and USDC are the headline stablecoins and the deposit page also takes major coins, while the player pays in one token and chain and the operator receives its chosen stablecoin on its chosen chain.
Request Network reaches 180 countries for any player with a crypto wallet, because the protocol runs no allowlist and no geo-blocking. The operator's KYC and the Hypernative screening set the practical limits, and Request Network carries no local fiat method in any market.
No. Request Network sets no minimum monthly volume, ties the operator to no contract lock-in and charges no setup or monthly fee.
No. Request Network holds no MiCA authorization in either entity, and Request Technologies UAB, which runs the off-ramp, saw its Lithuanian VASP registration expire on December 31, 2025 with no CASP authorization since. EU operators that need a licensed crypto rail use CoinGate, a Bank of Lithuania CASP since December 16, 2025, or BVNK, which the MFSA authorized on February 13, 2026.
No. Request Network is the non-custodial payment protocol of the Swiss Request Network Foundation, and it runs the iGaming deposit product. Request Finance is a separate B2B software company led by co-founder Christophe Lassuyt, which sells crypto invoicing, payroll and accounting tools built on the protocol, and the two share founders and the REQ token but little else.
NOWPayments charges 1% on crypto deposits, carries 350+ coins and has 4.5 on Trustpilot across 1,076 reviews. Request Network takes 0.9% capped at $500, pays deposits straight to the operator's wallet and screens wallets before signing, with no reference casino client yet. NOWPayments fits an operator that needs coin breadth and a track record today, and Request Network one that takes mostly stablecoins and wants them non-custodial with a cap on large tickets.
CoinsPaid charges 0.8-1% on deposits and 0.3% on mono-currency crypto payouts, with a $100k+ minimum, 18 crypto assets and MGA, Curacao and Estonian licensees among the operators it serves. Request Network applies one capped 0.9% fee to deposits and payouts alike and sets no minimum. CoinsPaid fits a casino above $100k a month with heavy payout volume, and Request Network a smaller or stablecoin-only book that wants deposits in its own wallet.
Our Verdict: Should You Use Request Network?
Final assessment for iGaming operators
Overall iGaming Score
Summary
Request Network gives a crypto casino stablecoin deposits that settle into its own wallet at on-chain confirmation, under one capped 0.9% fee. The operator pays that 0.9% on every payout it sends, against 0.3% at CoinsPaid on mono-currency crypto payouts, so payout volume decides what the rail costs. The call turns on the operator's license, since Request Network holds none of its own, and on how much of the book already runs in USDT or USDC.
Strongest Point
Every deposit settles in the operator's own wallet within one block on the same chain, so no processor balance ever holds the operator's money.
Key Limitation
Since its June 1, 2026 launch the gambling product has gained no reference casino or sportsbook client, while NOWPayments already serves Curacao and Anjouan licensees.
Recommendation
Add Request Network as a second crypto rail if you run under an offshore license such as Curacao's and your players already deposit in USDT or USDC, and settle who pays the deposit fee before launch, because that term decides whether the fee is the player's cost or yours. With no minimum and no setup fee, a trial costs only the per-payment fee. Keep your fiat processor and your main crypto gateway in place until gambling operators run live volume on Request Network.
Pros
- No processor ever holds the operator's balance: each deposit sits in the operator's wallet once the chain confirms it.
- Hypernative checks the player's wallet against sanctions, mixer and darknet lists before signing, and a failed check stops the funds from moving at all.
- A player holding only USDT or USDC on one of the six EVM chains can deposit without first buying a native gas token, because ERC-4337 account abstraction covers gas and the fee already includes it.
- A working deposit flow takes hours on a self-serve REST API and a hosted page that runs on one-time links.
Cons
- Request Network takes crypto only, which leaves every card, bank-transfer and local-method deposit to a separate fiat processor.
- Neither entity holds a license, and Request Technologies UAB has had no VASP registration since December 31, 2025, so an EU or UKGC licensee cannot use Request Network as its licensed crypto rail.
- Compliance sits with the operator, because the crypto path runs no player identity check and wallet screening stays off until the operator switches it on.
- SoftSwiss, Slotegrator and EveryMatrix casinos build the REST integration themselves, because no casino-platform connector exists.
- The fee rose eighteenfold on July 30, 2026 and can change again, which breaks any cost model built on a fixed rate.
- Every payout costs the operator 0.9%, where CoinsPaid charges 0.3% on mono-currency crypto payouts.
- A core team of 2-10 people runs the protocol, which puts key-person risk on an operator that builds its cashier on it.
- A refund is a manual send-back from the operator's wallet, where NOWPayments refunds crypto instantly.

Request Network vs. Alternatives: How It Compares
Similar payment processing solutions
An EU-licensed operator that needs an authorized crypto counterparty should look at CoinGate, which the Bank of Lithuania authorized as a CASP on December 16, 2025, or at BVNK, a MiCA CASP under the MFSA. A casino whose players pay in many coins and whose procurement wants a review record goes to NOWPayments, with 350+ coins. Operators that need US state licenses on the crypto leg find them at BitPay, which holds a NYDFS BitLicense and NMLS money transmitter licenses. Card, bank and local-method volume belongs with a fiat processor such as Nuvei, while Request Network takes the stablecoin share.
When to Choose an Alternative
- BVNK
Choose BVNK if you move $500,000 a month or more and want licensed stablecoin rails next to fiat. BVNK holds a MiCA CASP authorization and e-money licenses from the MFSA and the FCA. It moves 30+ fiat currencies over SEPA, SWIFT, ACH, Fedwire and Faster Payments beside 4 stablecoins.
- NOWPayments
Choose NOWPayments if your players pay in a long tail of coins. NOWPayments carries 350+ coins at 1% on deposits and 1,076 Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.5, where Request Network takes USDT, USDC and major coins and has no review history.
- CoinsPaid
Choose CoinsPaid if you move $100k+ a month and pay players mostly in one coin, because its mono-currency crypto payouts cost 0.3%, against Request Network's 0.9%. It serves MGA, Curacao and Estonian licensees.
- CoinGate
Choose CoinGate if your EU license requires a MiCA-authorized crypto gateway. CoinGate holds a Bank of Lithuania CASP authorization and charges 1% on its Standard plan with no minimum, where Request Network holds no MiCA authorization.
- Nuvei
Pair with Nuvei if cards and local methods carry your fiat volume. Nuvei runs 720+ methods across 200 countries at 1.5-3.5% on deposits, with a $500k+ minimum and a 5-10% reserve for 6 months, while Request Network carries the stablecoin share.
