Why casino and online gaming merchants are considered hard to place.

Finding a payment processor to help you accept online credit card payments with a casino merchant account isn’t easy. That’s because casino and online gaming merchant accounts are considered to be hard to place or in a specialty category.

The main reason online gaming merchant accounts are considered hard to place is the card-not-present nature of online payments. Because of this, the industry experiences high chargeback ratios (when a cardholder disputes a charge with their card-issuing bank), as well as a heightened risk of fraud. Other reasons online gaming merchant accounts are hard to place are:

The The increased risk of money laundering associated with the industry.
The The number of government regulations that have to be followed.
The The number of online gaming businesses that have been incorporated offshore
The The complexities of cross-border payment processing.
The good news is, while other payment technology companies say, “no” to any and all gaming payment processing for these and other reasons, at Humboldt, we always try to say, “yes.” Better still, with our online gaming merchant accounts, secure payment gateway access, and round-the-clock, live Customer Care and Technical Support Teams, you can rest assured: The house always wins.

How does being in a specialty category affect getting approved for a merchant account?

Operating an online poker, casino, or gaming business doesn’t mean you can’t be approved for a gaming payment processing merchant account. It just means you’ll likely be asked to provide a little more documentation regarding your financials and processing history during the application process. That way your specialty credit card processing partner can be comfortable with the level of risk they’ll be taking on when offering you an online gaming merchant account.
