Skill-Based Gaming Merchant Accounts – Fast, Legal, and Scalable
Run a game where skill determines the outcome? We help you get approved — whether you're building a competitive app, trivia game, or arcade-style tournament.
Why Skill-Based Gaming Gets Flagged
- Banks often confuse skill-based games with gambling due to cash prizes.
- Most processors won’t touch apps with paid entry, even if they're legal.
- Unclear refund or dispute rules can lead to high chargeback ratios.
If your users compete for cash based on skill — not chance — you deserve a payment solution that understands the law.
