FAQs About Gaming/Gambling Merchant Accounts
What are the approval challenges for gambling merchant accounts?
Most gambling merchants face three major obstacles during approval. First, traditional banks view gambling as high-risk regardless of your business model or transaction history. That means immediate rejection from most providers.
Second, compliance requirements vary significantly across jurisdictions. You’ll need to present gambling licenses, AML procedures and responsible gambling protocols for each market you operate in. Missing documentation can delay or derail your application.
Third, banking relationships become complex with gambling operations. You’ll need multiple backup processors and acquirers to ensure business continuity. At FastoPayments, we take care of this for you so that you only have to apply once for your gambling merchant account.
Why choose a specialized gambling merchant account provider?
A specialized provider understands the nuances of the gambling industry. While other providers might accept you initially, they’re likely to pause your account or freeze your funds at the first sight of high volumes or chargebacks.
Specialized providers like FastoPayments maintain robust banking networks with forward-looking financial institutions built specifically for gambling. Additionally, specialized providers offer gambling-specific tools such as KYC and AML checks as well as responsible gambling controls and transaction monitoring. These features help maintain regulatory compliance and seamless processing.
Do I need a separate sports betting merchant account?
While sports betting typically falls under the umbrella of your standard gambling merchant account, a dedicated account offers significant advantages. The payment patterns in sports betting, such as sudden spikes during major sporting events require specialized infrastructure.
How does reliable payment processing benefit online gambling merchants?
Reliable processing directly impacts player satisfaction and retention. When deposits process instantly and withdrawals complete quickly, players stay engaged. Our data shows that platforms with 99.9% uptime and sub-second processing see significantly higher player loyalty.
Security also drives revenue. Modern players expect sophisticated fraud protection and instant transaction verification. Real-time monitoring and automated risk management are key here.
Finally, reliable processing scales with you. As your platform expands into new markets or adds new game types, your infrastructure should handle the changes without needing to be rebuilt from scratch.
How much do you hold in rolling reserves?
Traditional banks hold 10% of your funds for 180 days. At Fasto Payments, we can reduce this number to as low as 3% for gambling merchant accounts that have built a strong reputation.
How do you handle gaming chargebacks?
We combine Ethoca alerts with Verifi’s CDRN system plus our fraud tools (Kount and Red Shield) to catch disputes before they become chargebacks. This keeps you well below the threshold that risks your processing.
Also, make sure you choose a provider that will make it easy for you to maintain comprehensive payment records. Every sessions should track player’s IP address, device ID, verification steps completed and player behavior patterns. When disputes occur, detailed evidence means the difference between winning and losing.
What happens during major sporting events?
Our system processes transactions in under 0.1 seconds and scales automatically during peak times. Through multiple banking relationships, we handle instant volume spikes whether it’s a World Cup final or major boxing match.
