Gaming & Betting

Companies on the on-line gaming and sports betting market must be able to offer several payment methods to meet players’ needs.  

Payment cards (Visa, Mastercard) remain the most common method for topping up player accounts on gaming websites and for taking part in lottery, scratchcards and draw-based games, particularly since the COVID pandemic which saw an upsurge in on-line gaming and a decline in newsagent sales.   

Bank transfers are also a preferred option for players looking for secure transactions and potentially higher ceilings. 
Other alternatives include e-wallets such as PayPal, Skrill or Neteller, which offer quick and anonymous payments. Lastly, certain operators accept prepaid cards and cryptocurrency, although their use remains regulated by law. 

Payment security in the gaming market is a priority to protect both players and operators. MONEXT offers solutions that are PCI DSS compliant to ensure bank data protection. Strong authentication (3D Secure 2) is often required for card payments, which reduces the risks of fraud. 
Moreover, through their payment service provider (such as MONEXT), gaming websites use fraud detection tools based on know-your-customer guidelines, purchase habits or artificial intelligence to secure transactions and monitor suspicious activity. Bank transfers also provide heightened security through the authentication protocols implemented by banks. 

The gaming sector is subject to strict oversight through national and European regulations. In France, the Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ) regulates gaming websites, in particular those offering lottery games, scratch games, draw-based games and horse-racing bets. 
Operators must comply with the directives of the French Law on the prevention of money laundering and the financing of terrorism (AML-FT), which require player identity checks prior to transaction authorisations. 
Payment solutions must comply with European regulations such as the PSD2 (Revised Payment Services Directive), ensuring transaction transparency and security. 

E-wallets provide several advantages for payments on gaming or sports betting websites (such as horse-racing platforms): 
✅ Quick transactions: Deposits and withdrawals are almost instant, unlike bank transfers which may take several days. 
✅ Security and anonymity: Players don’t need to directly share their bank details with operators. 
✅ Accessibility: Easy to use on mobiles and desktops, e-wallets simplify the user experience and are quick and easy to top up by card.  

A quick, seamless and secure payment solution significantly improves the user experience on gaming and sports betting websites.  

Players are looking for simple payment methods with fast or even instant deposits and withdrawals.  

A smooth integration of the various payment methods such as bank cards, e-wallets, XPay and bank transfers ensures a frictionless user pathway. 
Furthermore, setting up a smart check-out, which offers only the most appropriate payment methods for each player depending on the purchasing context (e.g., Apple Pay or Google Pay for mobile payments) reduces abandoned payments and optimises operators’ conversion rates.
