Payment Processing Challenges for Gaming & Gambling Businesses
Understanding the unique obstacles online gaming merchants face and how Kosipay solves them
High-Risk Classification
Online gaming and gambling businesses are automatically classified as high-risk by most banks and payment processors, leading to frequent account rejections. Kosipay specializes in high-risk industries and provides stable, long-term processing solutions specifically for licensed gaming operators.
Regulatory Complexity
The online gaming industry faces intense regulatory complexity with different jurisdictions having varied legal frameworks. Our payment solutions include compliance tools and ongoing support to help you navigate the complex regulatory landscape affecting gaming businesses.
Excessive Fees
Many processors charge gaming businesses exorbitant rates and fees, taking advantage of the limited options available. Kosipay offers transparent, competitive pricing specifically tailored to gaming merchants, with no hidden fees or unexpected charges.
Fraud and Money Laundering Risks
Online gaming environments face significant fraud, collusion, and money laundering risks. Our advanced risk management systems include specialized tools for detecting unusual patterns, player collusion, and potential money laundering activities to protect your business and maintain regulatory compliance.
Global Player Base
Online gaming businesses often serve players across multiple countries, creating challenges with cross-border payments and currency conversion. Our payment solutions support global operations with multi-currency processing, international payment methods, and localized payment options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about online gaming merchant accounts and payment processing
What types of gaming businesses can you support?
We support a wide range of licensed online gaming businesses, including sports betting operators, online casinos, poker sites, fantasy sports platforms, skill-based gaming sites, esports betting platforms, lottery services, bingo operators, and horse racing wagering sites. All businesses must hold appropriate licenses for their jurisdictions of operation and follow applicable regulations. We currently focus on gaming businesses licensed in jurisdictions with established regulatory frameworks.
What are the processing rates for gaming businesses?
Processing rates for online gaming merchants typically range from 3.5% to 6.5% plus a small per-transaction fee, depending on your business model, processing volume, regulatory status, and risk profile. While these rates are higher than those for traditional retail, they reflect the specialized services required for gaming processing. Kosipay offers competitive, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and we provide custom quotes based on your specific gaming business and player volume.
Do you require a rolling reserve for gaming merchant accounts?
Most gaming merchant accounts require some form of reserve due to the industry's risk profile. This typically takes the form of a rolling reserve, which is a percentage of your processing volume held in reserve to cover potential chargebacks and disputes. Reserve requirements vary based on your operational history, license status, and risk assessment. Typical reserves range from 5-15% and are held for 180 days, with funds released on a rolling basis as they mature. Established operators with strong processing history may qualify for reduced reserve requirements.
What documentation is required to apply for a gaming merchant account?
For a gaming merchant account application, you'll typically need: valid gaming licenses for all jurisdictions of operation, business formation documents, 3-6 months of bank statements, processing statements (if applicable), valid ID for all owners with 25%+ ownership, AML and KYC compliance policies, responsible gaming procedures, detailed player terms and conditions, security and fraud prevention measures, gaming platform technical documentation, and website or platform details. Our application specialists will guide you through the specific requirements.
How do your payment solutions handle regulatory compliance?
Our payment solutions for gaming businesses include comprehensive compliance features: age verification to prevent underage gambling, location verification to ensure players are in permitted jurisdictions, KYC processes for player identity verification, transaction monitoring for fraud and money laundering detection, suspicious activity reporting for regulatory requirements, responsible gaming tools including deposit limits and self-exclusion options, data protection and privacy compliance, and audit trails for regulatory examinations. Our compliance systems are regularly updated to reflect changing regulatory requirements.
What player payment methods can you support?
Our gaming payment solutions support a comprehensive range of player payment options: major credit and debit cards (where permitted by jurisdiction), e-wallets including PayPal, Skrill, and Neteller, bank transfers and instant banking solutions, prepaid cards and vouchers, alternative payment methods specific to certain markets, cryptocurrency processing where legally permitted, mobile payment solutions, and localized payment options for specific regions. This wide range of options helps maximize player conversion and satisfaction across different markets.
