Frequently Asked Questions

Gaming companies, especially those in iGaming, online gambling, online casinos, sportsbooks, and online poker, operate in a high-risk environment due to strict regulatory compliance, chargeback exposure, and friendly fraud. A specialized payment processor, such as Zen Payments, provides the infrastructure, risk management, underwriting, and payment system logic needed to support gambling transactions, protect personal data, and maintain your platform's reputation.

Merchants can accept various payment card options (including debit cards and credit cards such as those provided by Visa and Mastercard), digital wallets like Apple Pay, Skrill, and Alipay. Support for online banking, automated clearing house (ACH), stablecoin, instant payments, and Visa Direct or remittance options ensures global accessibility for players across regions.

Yes, Zen Payments uses tokenization, which replaces sensitive information (such as card numbers) with encrypted tokens, reducing the risk of data exposure. Both tokenization and encryption hide or secure sensitive player personal data, preventing unauthorized access. This protects merchants from breaches, fraud, financial liability under global regulations, and helps merchants comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements.

Because gambling transactions involve regulatory oversight, the onboarding process includes identity verification (Know Your Customer – KYC), underwriting, license validation, industry checks, and detailed analysis of behavior, data, accounts, and business performance. This ensures compliance with the Payment Services Directive, financial laws, and card-scheme rules. This thoroughness up front helps to prevent potential account holds or closures that might arise otherwise.

An acquiring bank settles payments processed from players' payment cards or bank accounts. For high-risk sectors like online casinos, acquirers must ensure strict law and regulatory compliance while managing risk, money movement, and international currency routing.

No. Some modern gaming platforms are interested in offering blockchain-based options with online gaming payment gateways to enable deposits in cryptocurrency or digital assets, but due to the price volatility of cryptocurrency, Zen Payments opts for safer payment methods. Zen Payments does offer some non-traditional payment methods, but cryptocurrency isn't supported at the current time by our payment gateway for online gaming.

Zen Payments uses artificial intelligence to improve fraud detection, analyze user behavior, support automated authentication, and optimize routing for faster payments. AI-driven automation also reduces operational complexity and increases customer satisfaction.

Zen Payments offers customized pricing based on each business baked on risk level, but even for high-risk merchants Zen Payments strives to keep its fees low for our customers. Fees also vary depending on region and payment type. Typical charges include transaction fees, potential cross-border costs, and higher assessment rates if your business has elevated risk. Reach out to Zen Payments today to learn what pricing we can offer your business.

Zen Payments tends to be more flexible and risk-tolerant than competitors like Nuvei or Global payments. Zen Payments is a strong pick for gaming companies needing personalized service. Zen Payments provides quality customer service, strives for transparency in our pricing, and offers a top-notch payment gateway for gaming.

Merchants should utilize CRM integrations (e.g., Salesforce), reporting dashboards, inventory and accounts management systems, and mobile apps. These tools provide insight, research, and real-time analytics to help improve commerce and customer engagement.

Yes. Zen Payments supports faster payments, instant payment methods, and even methods like Visa Direct. These ensure that deposits and withdrawals occur quickly, improving the overall customer experience and gaming brand loyalty.

Yes. Gaming merchants can receive payments through mobile wallets and alternative methods like cash vouchers or prepaid systems to serve unbanked consumers while still maintaining compliance.
