Why stablecoins suit gaming payments
Fast, borderless payments
Transfers settle on the blockchain in seconds, without intermediaries or banking hours.
Stable value
Pegged to fiat currencies, so players and operators avoid the volatility of other cryptocurrencies.
Low transaction costs
Usually cheaper than card processing or international wires, especially for small and frequent payments.
Frequently asked questions
Do payment processors need a gambling license?
In some markets, yes. In Romania, payment processing for licensed operators is a Class II (B2B) activity, so PSPs serving Romanian Class I operators need an ONJN Class II license.
Which stablecoins can we accept?
Most setups use USDT, USDC and DAI. Which ones you can accept depends on your license, your processor and your target markets; we confirm this in your roadmap.
Can sweepstakes and social casinos get payment processing?
Yes, through high-risk gateways, with strong AML/KYC, geolocation controls and chargeback management. These models need a review of the rules in each target market first.
