The Challenge

High chargeback risk perception

Banks view gambling as inherently risky, making it harder to get and keep merchant accounts.

Regulatory complexity

UKGC, MGA, Curacao, Isle of Man - each jurisdiction has different requirements and PSP availability.

Limited PSP options

Most mainstream payment providers reject gambling merchants outright. The ones that don't often exit the market.

Rolling reserves

High reserves and holdbacks eat into cash flow. Understanding what's negotiable is critical.

Multi-jurisdiction licensing

Operating across multiple markets requires PSPs that can handle different regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What documentation do I need to apply?

Typically: gambling license(s), company registration, proof of address for directors, 3-6 months processing history if available, website/app for review. Requirements vary by PSP - we'll tell you exactly what each needs.

How long does approval take for gambling merchants?

Usually 2-6 weeks depending on the acquirer and your documentation readiness. Well-prepared applications with clean licenses can sometimes move faster.

What's a typical rate for iGaming?

Rates vary significantly based on license jurisdiction, processing history, and volume. Expect 3-6% for card processing. We can benchmark your current rates against market.

Do you work with unlicensed operators?

No. We only work with licensed operators. Unlicensed gambling is high-risk for everyone involved and no reputable PSP will touch it.

Can you help with player deposit optimization?

Yes. We can connect you with PSPs that offer alternative payment methods, local payment options, and deposit success optimization tools.
