Credit an iGaming deposit and pay a winner without a card in sight
The player funds at a crypto checkout in USDT or USDC, the money credits your Paymos balance, and the moment a deposit confirms on-chain nobody can claw it back — so the chargeback ratio that gets a book fined under MCC 7995 never starts ticking. When your team clears a withdrawal, the payout leaves on that decision rather than a processor's schedule, with no held-back reserve against your float. Licensing in each market stays with the operator.
Why iGaming runs into payment walls
One bad chargeback month can cost a book its acquirer
Gambling sits in the highest chargeback band on the card networks — far past the 1.5% ratio that triggers a Mastercard monitoring program — so a single bad month can fine a book or close its account outright. That risk gets priced in: the specialist acquirers that take MCC 7995 commonly price a deposit at 2.5–7%, with per-dispute fees and platform charges landing on top, hold back a reserve against your float, and release winners' payouts on a multi-day cycle. Crypto gateways look cheaper until you read the fine print — a teaser near 0.5% that settles closer to 1.5–2% and frequently above it once swap, transfer, and merchant-paid network costs hit deposits and payouts both. Paymos closes a deposit on-chain instead: once it confirms it can't be reversed, so there is no chargeback ratio to police, no reserve, and a rate charged on deposits, with only a subsidised network fee on payouts. Licensing in each market stays with the operator.
What you get
Built for how a licensed operator actually settles
One backend handles the whole money loop: player deposits, payouts your team releases to player wallets, a single balance per stablecoin across the networks your players use, and a renewal invoice each cycle for season passes and VIP tiers.
No category code to refuse
Card networks read MCC 7995 and gate gambling before they ever look at your book; Paymos never touches card rails, so there's no category decline and no high-risk underwriting cycle. Onboarding is self-serve — an email and a settlement wallet — and Paymos doesn't vet your category, screen your licence, or hold a reserve against what you take. Once a deposit confirms on-chain it's final, with no chargeback to defend.
You release a payout, no multi-day review follows
Clear a withdrawal and the payout is sent, not filed for a multi-day processor review. Your own AML checks decide when each one goes; once your team releases it, Paymos runs an automatic AML check on the recipient address and sends the payout when it passes, charging no second processing fee on the payout, only a network fee set under the route's cost. Every payout is operator-initiated — a withdrawal exists only once your team creates it, from the dashboard or the API, and, by default, only to an address your whitelist already carries.
One balance per stablecoin
A player deposits the same dollar stablecoin from whichever wallet and network they already use, and you hold one balance per asset regardless of where it came from — no forced conversion, no currency-conversion markup, no separate gateway per region. Same-token settlement means a dollar in is a dollar out.
Renewal invoices for passes and VIP
Season passes, monthly VIP tiers and other recurring products renew on a fresh invoice each cycle, paid from the player's wallet. Nothing is stored to expire and nothing auto-charges — the player approves each period's invoice, so a renewal can't fail on a lapsed card, and a player who wants out simply doesn't pay the next one.

Pricing
1.0% per settled deposit. No reserve, no payout hold, gas on us on the way in
The 1.0% on a deposit covers acceptance gas, sweep, and same-token settlement — no exchange markup, no currency conversion, no held-back reserve. On a payout Paymos takes nothing: you pay a subsidised network fee for that route, shown before you send. Ask from your first deposit for 0.3% — deposit flow and the networks players use decide it. Card-rail gambling acquirers commonly price a deposit at 2.5–7%, then add a reserve and a multi-day hold behind it; crypto gateways advertise from 0.5% but settle nearer 1.5–2% or more once swap, transfer, and network costs hit both legs.
