Payments for gaming and iGaming.

Common questions

What gaming categories do you support?

Video game publishers and storefronts, MMO and free-to-play live services with microtransactions and in-game currency, esports platforms, skill-based gaming, fantasy sports (DFS), and jurisdiction-permissive real-money gaming. Underwriting handles category-specific licensing and regulatory documentation.

How do you handle in-game currency and microtransactions?

High-volume small-ticket microtransaction flows benefit from card-on-file with network tokenization (saved cards stay valid, friction drops, conversion holds). Smart retry on declines minimizes abandoned transactions. Webhook-driven settlement events feed your in-game economy / inventory system.

Are real-money gaming and DFS supported?

Yes — in jurisdictions where the merchant is licensed and the regulatory category permits card acceptance. We route through specialty acquirers familiar with state-by-state US gaming licensing, UK Gambling Commission, MGA Malta, and similar frameworks. Geo-fencing and KYC posture are part of the integration.

What about chargeback rates on gaming?

Gaming sees elevated chargeback baselines from family card-sharing disputes ('my kid bought it'), fraud disputes on stolen cards, and buyer regret on cosmetic / gacha purchases. Ethoca + Verifi alerts catch disputes before they file. 3DS2 authentication on first-time large purchases. Pre-dispute representment for the rest.

Do you support cross-border gaming for global publishers?

Yes. Multi-currency settlement across major card networks. International acquiring through specialized correspondent banks for global gaming volume. Region-specific payment-method enablement (cards + region-popular alternatives) where the merchant integrates them.
