Growing Base of Solutions

On May 14th, 2018, the Supreme Court ruled that the Federal Government has no business mandating the illegality of sports betting. States can now choose whether or not they want to allow this particular form of gambling, and the Associated Press projects 32 states will legalize it within the next five years.

As sports betting gradually becomes legalized across the country, more doors will open for businesses looking to capitalize on this expanding industry. Motile already has brick and mortar solutions for states where such betting is legalized, and an increasing number of online processing options as well.

The legal landscape changed dramatically after the Supreme Court struck down the federal ban on sports betting in 2018. More than 30 states have since legalized some form of sports wagering, each with its own licensing and payment rules. That patchwork is exactly why processors treat gaming as high-risk: rules vary by state, transactions are card-not-present, and disputes run high. A specialist keeps you compliant across the jurisdictions you operate in.

iGaming Processing

iGames: The Diversity of Online Gambling

The iGame industry generates billions of dollars in revenue every year. Some of the most common forms include:

  • iGame casinos
  • virtual poker
  • fantasy sports
  • sports betting
  • Lotteries
  • Horse racing

Unfortunately, finding a reliable processor to safely and legally handle transactions in any of these gambling niches isn’t always easy. We’re ready to change that. Get in touch and let us set you up with a provider that is uniquely qualified to handle the needs of your iGame business.

iGaming underwriting hinges on compliance. Acquirers expect proof of your gaming license, geolocation controls that keep play inside legal states, and strong KYC and AML procedures to verify players and monitor for fraud. Because deposits and payouts are high-value and card-not-present, expect a reserve, a share of volume held to cover chargebacks, released on a rolling schedule and scaled to your history.

Sports Betting & Bookkeeping

Whether you’re a fan of it or not, betting on sports is an incredibly popular activity that can be found all over the world. It’s a huge industry, and what entrepreneurs in this industry need are reliable merchant service providers – ones who can ensure customer bets are being processed accurately.

Motile has proven processing solutions and the necessary hardware to help in-person sports books operating out of legal states, plus online payments for all types of sports betting. We’re in prime position to get you a fully operational merchant account and take care of your bookkeeping needs.

For sportsbooks, the payment rail matters. ACH (bank debit) is well suited to deposits and withdrawals: it is cheaper than cards and carries lower dispute exposure, since returns run through NACHA rather than the card dispute system. Cards add convenience but bring higher chargeback risk, often from “I did not authorize this” disputes. Many operators run both, with clear billing descriptors so players recognize the charge.

Payments for Fantasy Sports

Fantasy sports have been around for a while, but really made a splash when FanDuel (2009) and DraftKings (2012) exploded onto the scene with their daily and weekly offerings. Now it seems like we can’t go a minute watching ESPN before an advertisement pops up and pushes the newest fantasy sports game.

Processing for Start Ups & Veterans

Whether you’re an established fantasy merchant in search of better processing, or simply a newcomer looking to get things moving, Motile can help you. Fantasy sports is a lucrative industry, are you ready to jump on board?

Daily fantasy sports sit in their own regulatory grey zone, legal in most states but restricted in some, so underwriters look closely at where you operate and how you verify players. Clean KYC, transparent contest terms, and prompt, well-documented payouts all reduce disputes and make your account easier to approve and keep.

Online Casino Merchant Accounts

Opening a casino merchant account on the internet is a challenge, and if you’re in the U.S. it’s actually illegal. However, Motile caters to entrepreneurs and businesses across the globe, and if you’re running an online casino internationally and need processing with reasonable rates, you’ve come to the right place.

Offshore Solutions

We work with a highly diverse group of banks and processors (both within and outside the U.S.) that have solutions for just about anyone operating in a high risk industry. Need to handle transactions and process payments for your online casino? We can help you with that.

Online casino is among the highest-risk gaming categories, so compliance and chargeback control decide whether an account survives. Visa’s VAMP program tightens the merchant “excessive” dispute threshold from 2.2% to 1.5%, effective April 1, 2026 (Merchant Risk Council), so keep disputes well below it with clear descriptors, recorded consent, and fast payouts. Depending on your licensing and volume, a specialist can place you with a domestic or offshore acquirer suited to your model.
