Operators in the gambling industry often face challenges when establishing merchant accounts, as many banks consider this sector high-risk due to increased chargeback and fraud risks. This necessitates the services of a specialized high-risk payment processor.

At Paywise Solutions, we specialize in providing tailored credit card processing services for gambling businesses, both online and retail-based. By submitting a brief application and a few supporting documents, gambling businesses can quickly set up a merchant service. Once approved, merchants gain access to a payment gateway for both online and manual processing, enabling them to accept all major credit cards with prompt payouts directly to their business bank accounts.

What is a Gambling Merchant Account?

A gambling merchant account is a banking service used by businesses in the gambling industry to accept payments via credit card or check, either online or in person. These accounts operate similarly to standard payment processing accounts but are underwritten with the understanding that they cater to a high-risk industry.

How a Gambling Merchant Account Works?

Gambling merchant accounts function using the same systems as other merchant accounts. When a customer enters their card information into a payment gateway or swipes it at a terminal, the transaction information is sent from the merchant’s bank through the payment card network to the customer’s bank, which then approves or denies the transaction.

Opening a Gambling Merchant Account

The process for applying for a gambling payment processing account typically requires similar documentation across different account types. After application submission, bank underwriters review the application and request supporting documents, which may include ID, banking information, business information, and other documents demonstrating the business’s health and the merchant’s financial needs.

The gambling industry encompasses a variety of business types, including online casinos, sports betting, and other betting platforms. Establishing credit card processing services from the outset can prevent future issues with banks and processors.
