Online Gambling Payment Processing
Gambling Merchant Accounts With Proven Stability
Secure, stable payment processing for online casinos, sports betting platforms, and daily fantasy sites, with fast approvals and global payment capabilities.
Outgrowing Aggregators and Shared Risk Models?
Gaming merchants often inherit platform risk they cannot control. We support direct merchant relationships and infrastructure designed for higher complexity payment environments.
Deposits Declining but Traffic Still Growing?
Payment performance issues rarely announce themselves. Operators often discover approval declines, friction, and dispute pressure only after conversion starts slipping.
Built for Gambling Payments That Need More Than a Processor
Gaming and gambling operators face higher scrutiny, more deposit friction, and tighter chargeback thresholds than traditional ecommerce. Corepay combines acquiring, payment routing, and dispute mitigation into one environment so operators can focus on growth instead of managing payment complexity.

Processing Built for Online Gaming
Online gambling is one of the most complex payment processing verticals, requiring processors with direct acquiring relationships in regulated markets and experience handling the unique transaction patterns of gaming platforms.
Challenges iGaming Operators Face
Jurisdiction-Based Processing Restrictions
Payment acceptance for gambling varies by country, requiring processors with market-specific acquiring relationships to maintain approval rates.
Processor Refusals
Most mainstream banks and processors categorise all gambling as prohibited, refusing applications even from fully licensed operators.
Chargeback Disputes
Player disputes and friendly fraud drive elevated chargeback rates on gambling platforms, requiring active real-time dispute management.
AML and Compliance Requirements
Anti-money laundering compliance and responsible gambling regulations require processors with direct experience in the gaming vertical.

An online gambling merchant account is one of the most challenging to obtain. Most banks and processors will pass on your account. We accept where others decline and make it our mission to keep you approved.
Online gambling and gaming merchant accounts are similar to fantasy sports merchant accounts, since both involve risk and skill. We are familiar with sports betting, online casino, eSports, online poker, live betting, online lottery, live table games, online bingo, fantasy games, sweepstakes, slots, and roulette.
Why Online Gambling Is High-Risk
Chargebacks are inevitable if you run an online casino. You need to keep them at a minimum or risk even higher processing fees. Legality varies by state and jurisdiction, with most online casinos based internationally. And banks do not want to risk their reputation by associating with the wrong operation.
To maintain a low chargeback ratio: keep a secure and fast website, implement chargeback prevention tools, offer 24/7 customer service, and create a comprehensive FAQ page.

- Company EIN document
