iGaming & Betting

Payment processing for iGaming and betting

Gambling is licensed market by market, and so are the acquirers that board it. One application reaches the ones that match your licenses, and routing sends each player to the account licensed for their country.

What acquirers look for

What an acquirer checks before boarding iGaming and betting.

Gambling transactions use MCC 7995 and are only legal where you hold a license. Acquirers check that every market you take players from is covered, and expect strong player verification and responsible gaming controls.

Typical merchant category code7995

A license for every market

A valid gaming license from each jurisdiction you accept players from. You must hold the licenses your markets require.

Geolocation and blocking

Controls that stop players in markets you are not licensed for from depositing.

Player KYC and AML

Identity checks on players, source-of-funds checks above thresholds, and an AML programme your regulator approves.

Responsible gaming

Deposit limits, self-exclusion and the controls your licenses require.

Correct coding

Transactions coded as gambling (MCC 7995) so issuers can apply their own rules.

Payout process

How you return winnings and withdrawals to players, and how long it takes.

You must hold the licenses and registrations your markets require. Approval is always the acquirer's decision; we make sure your application reaches the ones whose rules it fits.

How Orchestrapay helps

Get approved, stay live, keep the accounts.

01

Get boarded

Fill in one KYC application. We pre-match it to the boarding rules of each acquirer in our network of 40+ that boards iGaming and betting, taking MATCH status into account, and send it only where it fits.

02

Never depend on one account

Run on several merchant accounts at once. Smart Routing splits traffic and fails over when one is paused, and your customers' cards stay in a vault you own.

03

Keep your accounts

Stay under the card schemes' dispute and fraud thresholds with alerts that stop disputes early, deflection that stops them being filed, and 3D Secure where fraud risk is high.

What iGaming and betting ask us.

It varies by acquirer and by market. We match your licenses against each acquirer's boarding rules before anything is sent, so your application only goes where it fits.
