Why Choose Daystar for Gaming & Gambling Payment Processing
Gaming and gambling is one of the hardest sectors to keep processing. Elevated chargebacks, dense and shifting regulation, and reputational sensitivity lead most mainstream processors to refuse gaming merchants or terminate them when volume grows or disputes cluster. As a high risk merchant account provider, Daystar opens the high risk casino merchant account and sportsbook payment solutions operators need.
Our network of 20 acquiring banks across 4 continents includes banks that work with online and land-based casinos, sports betting and sportsbooks, poker, esports betting and tournament platforms, lottery and sweepstakes, daily fantasy sports, skill gaming, and online bingo. Relationships in Europe, Asia, and Latin America support international and offshore operators.
Qualified applicants see a 95% approval rate, most applications receive a decision within 24 hours, and most approved merchants are live within 3 business days. We have placed operators back into processing after termination and helped bring elevated chargeback ratios under control, with no setup fees and no long-term contracts.

A gambling merchant account is a high-risk payment processing account that lets a gaming or gambling business — casino, sportsbook, poker room, esports or lottery operator — accept card and alternative payments. Because card networks classify gaming as high-risk, these accounts are placed through specialized acquiring banks rather than mainstream processors like Stripe or Square.
Three reasons: higher-than-average chargeback rates, complex and changing regulation, and reputational sensitivity. Together these shrink the pool of banks willing to underwrite gaming, which is why specialized placement matters.
Yes. Daystar places online casinos, sportsbooks, poker sites, esports platforms, lottery and sweepstakes, and daily fantasy operators through a network of 20 acquiring banks that actively accept gaming merchants — including operators other processors have declined.
Most applications receive a decision within 24 hours, and most gaming merchants are live and processing within a few business days of submission.
