iGaming payment providers

Online casinos, sportsbooks, poker and lottery operators are high-risk merchants. Providers generally require a gambling licence for each market (for example from the UK Gambling Commission or the Malta Gaming Authority), process under the gambling merchant category code 7995, and must support fast withdrawals and responsible-gambling checks. Because many card issuers block gambling transactions, e-wallets, open banking, vouchers and local methods carry a large share of deposits.
