The Problem

Why mainstream gateways reject iGaming merchants

It's not about your business. It's about their risk models. Here's what's actually happening.

Blanket industry bans

Stripe, PayPal, and Razorpay categorically block iGaming, online casinos, and fantasy sports — regardless of your licence, volume, or compliance status.

Account termination with no warning

Even if you get approved initially, mainstream processors terminate gaming accounts mid-operation — often during peak seasons — freezing your funds for 90–180 days.

High decline rates killing conversion

Generic payment processors have 40–60% decline rates for iGaming transactions in India. Every declined payment is a player you lose forever.

No UPI support for gaming in India

Since 2024, NPCI pressure has led PhonePe, GPay, and Paytm to block UPI for real-money gaming. Most processors have no fallback solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know
before you apply

Why do mainstream payment gateways reject iGaming merchants?
Mainstream processors like Stripe, PayPal, and Razorpay categorically block iGaming, online casinos, and fantasy sports due to higher chargeback rates, regulatory complexity, and reputational concerns. They apply blanket policies that reject these merchants regardless of their licence, compliance status, or volume. FalconPay is built specifically for this category — with banking relationships, fraud models, and compliance infrastructure purpose-built for gaming.
What payment methods does FalconPay support for iGaming in India?
FalconPay supports UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM — all major apps), Net Banking across 100+ Indian banks, Debit and Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, RuPay), IMPS instant transfers, NEFT, RTGS, and major digital wallets. Our UPI payment success rate for iGaming transactions is 98.5%, compared to the industry average of 55–65%.
How quickly can an iGaming merchant get approved?
Most iGaming and online casino merchants receive approval within 48 hours of submitting complete documentation. This includes KYC/AML verification, business registration documents, and gaming licence details. We're familiar with MGA, UKGC, Curaçao eGaming, Isle of Man, Gibraltar, and other major jurisdictions — which speeds up our review significantly.
Does FalconPay support stablecoin settlement?
Yes. iGaming operators can accept payments in local fiat currencies (INR, EUR, BRL, MXN) and settle in USDT or USDC. We support Ethereum, Tron, BSC, Polygon, and Solana networks. Stablecoin settlement eliminates FX volatility, enables instant cross-border fund movement, and is popular with operators running multi-jurisdiction platforms.
Which iGaming verticals does FalconPay accept?
We accept online casinos, sports betting platforms, fantasy sports operators (including cricket and football fantasy), poker rooms, online rummy, lottery platforms, esports wagering, and skill-based gaming operators. We work with both licensed regulated operators and platforms operating under offshore jurisdictions. If you have a gaming licence and clean business practices, we can work with you.
How does FalconPay handle chargebacks for iGaming?
Our fraud prevention system is trained specifically on iGaming transaction patterns. We use velocity checks, device fingerprinting, behavioural analytics, and real-time transaction monitoring. Our average iGaming merchant chargeback rate is below 0.5% — compared to the 1.5–2.5% industry average. We also provide a chargeback management portal and dedicated dispute resolution support.
What regions does FalconPay's iGaming gateway cover?
India (UPI, IMPS, NEFT, 100+ banks), Europe (SEPA, cards, iDEAL, open banking — PSD2 compliant), Brazil (PIX, TED, Boleto Bancário), and LATAM including Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and Peru. India is our strongest market with 100+ bank connections and a 98.5% UPI success rate — making us the preferred gateway for iGaming operators targeting Indian players.
Is a gaming licence required to apply?
A gaming licence is strongly preferred and significantly speeds up the approval process. We work with operators licensed by MGA, UKGC, Curaçao eGaming, Isle of Man GSC, Gibraltar RGA, and other recognised authorities. For operators in jurisdictions without formal licensing frameworks, we conduct enhanced due diligence. Contact our sales team at [email protected] to discuss your specific situation.
