Gaming payments
Games sell instantly delivered digital items across every border — exactly where card chargebacks and cross-border fees hurt most. Crypto payments settle with finality, clear worldwide, and pay out on-chain.
Why games fit crypto rails
Digital goods are delivered the moment they are bought, so a chargeback weeks later is pure loss.
On-chain payments are final once confirmed, which removes the friendly-fraud and chargeback exposure that hits digital-goods sellers hardest. Payments clear worldwide at the same speed, so a global player base is one integration, not a patchwork of local processors.
What you can build
- In-game top-ups and purchases priced in fiat, paid in stablecoins.
- Digital-goods stores with a clear checkout showing exact amount, asset and network.
- Player payouts — pay out winnings, rewards, or marketplace earnings on-chain, in batches.
- Card-to-crypto so players without crypto can pay by card or a local method and you still receive stablecoins.
Reach and reconciliation
Signed webhooks credit purchases in real time, and the double-entry ledger keeps every top-up, refund and payout reconciled. For regulated real-money play, see iGaming payments, which adds player-level responsible-gambling controls.
Frequently asked questions
Why use crypto payments for games?
Digital goods are delivered instantly, so card chargebacks weeks later are pure loss. On-chain payments are final once confirmed, removing that exposure, and they clear worldwide at the same speed.
Can I pay players out?
Yes. You can pay winnings, rewards, or marketplace earnings on-chain, including in batches, under the limits you set.
Can players who don’t hold crypto still pay?
Yes, via card-to-crypto: they pay by card or a local method like UPI and a regulated on-ramp forwards a stablecoin to your deposit address.
How are in-game purchases credited?
A signed webhook fires when the payment confirms on-chain, so your backend can credit the purchase in real time, with the status endpoint as the authoritative record.
What’s the difference from iGaming payments?
Gaming payments cover games, digital goods and marketplaces. iGaming payments add player-level responsible-gambling controls for regulated real-money casinos and sportsbooks.
