iGaming Payment Gateway — Casino & Sportsbook Settlement

Generic payment gateways break under iGaming load. MCC 7995 (gambling) is rejected by most acquiring banks, deposit success rates collapse without specialised routing, and chargeback exposure is 5–10× higher than e-commerce. iGaming-specific payment infrastructure isn't a nice-to-have — it's the difference between 60% and 90% deposit success.

AS Tech's payment gateway is purpose-built for casino and sportsbook operators. We route deposits through iGaming-licensed acquirers, offer crypto rails (USDT TRC20/ERC20) that bypass card networks entirely, and integrate local payment methods (UPI, PIX, M-Pesa) at primary-bank pricing rather than aggregator markup.

USDT (TRC20 and ERC20) is the default settlement currency for iGaming because it bypasses banking restrictions, settles on-chain in minutes, and is universally accepted across operator/aggregator commercial relationships. AS Tech's wallet automatically reconciles USDT deposits against on-chain transactions, credits the player wallet, and exposes the on-chain hash in the player UI for transparency.

Withdrawals are processed via auto-payout queues with manual review thresholds. Below the threshold, withdrawals settle on-chain within 5 minutes. Above the threshold, the risk team reviews and releases within 24 hours.

Local payment methods drive 70%+ of deposit volume in their home markets. UPI dominates India, PIX dominates Brazil, M-Pesa dominates Kenya/Tanzania, GCash dominates the Philippines and OVO/DANA dominate Indonesia. AS Tech integrates these at the primary-bank or PSP level rather than through aggregator markup, so deposit fees stay competitive.

KYC is configured per market with tiered thresholds (e.g. ID required above $300 deposit lifetime, address proof above $3,000). Sanctions and PEP screening run on every onboarding and on a scheduled basis thereafter. Document verification is powered by Sumsub/Onfido with operator-configurable rejection rules.

Fraud defence layers device fingerprinting, velocity rules and 3DS2 enforcement. Chargeback evidence is auto-packaged for representment, with typical win rates of 35–45% on iGaming-coded transactions.
