The current offer combines card processing, direct acquiring where available, connections to external acquirers, deposits, payouts, cashier tools, routing, fraud controls, and reconciliation.
Nuvei is a processor and acquiring provider, not a gambling platform or license host. The exact Nuvei contracting entity, merchant approval, settlement terms, reserves, and accepted gambling licenses depend on the market and contract.
Products
Integration: Operators integrate Nuvei as the payment acceptance and cashier layer. Nuvei can provide direct acquiring in supported markets or route to connected acquirers and payment methods through the same platform.

Procurement record
Current product boundaries and the terms that still have to be fixed in the signed order or service agreement.
Known is usable now. Contract specific changes by order or market. Not disclosed has no usable standard term. Unknown remains unresolved. Outside provider scope is handled by the operator or another supplier.
Contract and supplier
- Contracting party and regulated roleContract specific
- The order must name the Nuvei company that supplies gateway, processing, acquiring, e-money, or money-transmission services in the launch market. Nuvei Corporation and the group parent are not substitutes for that operating counterparty.
- Merchant relationshipContract specific
- The operator is the gambling business applying for payment acceptance. Direct acquiring is available in some setups; other payment methods can use connected acquirers or financial providers. The signed flow must identify every merchant account and settlement party.
Implementation
- Payment rails and methodsContract specific
- Cards, bank transfers, wallets, real-time payments, local methods, deposits, and payouts are available through one integration, but the deployable set is limited to methods approved for the operator, legal entity, currency, country, and transaction direction.
Operating responsibilities
- Payment data and security boundaryContract specific
- Nuvei provides tokenization, fraud controls, and payment reporting. The order still needs a PCI scope, controller and processor allocation, subprocessor list, retention schedule, breach duties, and the exact data exposed to each connected acquirer or method provider.
Operations and service
- Settlement and reconciliationContract specific
- Nuvei supports bank settlement, fiat reconciliation, unified reporting, and reconciliation across connected providers. Settlement currency, cutoffs, funding path, payout timing, exception ownership, and report-to-bank matching are not universal and must be fixed in the merchant schedule.
- Chargebacks and payment disputesContract specific
- Fraud and chargeback controls are part of the platform. Liability, evidence deadlines, representment work, dispute fees, scheme fines, fraud thresholds, and loss allocation remain merchant-specific.
Commercial terms
- Pricing, reserves, and collateralNot disclosed
- Processing rates, acquiring markup, method fees, foreign-exchange spread, payout fees, minimums, reserves, rolling-reserve release, collateral, and termination charges are not published as one gaming tariff.
Market and approval scope
- Merchant and market approvalContract specific
- Approval applies to the named operator, owners, gambling licenses, domains, products, countries, currencies, payment methods, and transaction profile. A global method count or existing integration does not authorize a new market.
Exit and portability
- Portability and terminationNot disclosed
- Token portability, transaction and dispute exports, pending payout handling, reserve release, account closure, data deletion, and post-termination access are not established outside the merchant agreement.
Strengths
- + Nuvei separates direct acquiring from connections to external acquirers.
- + The same integration covers payment acceptance, payouts, local methods, fraud controls, and reconciliation.
What to verify in procurement
- ! Merchant acceptance criteria, reserves, settlement schedules, and accepted gambling licenses remain undisclosed.
- ! Entity and product availability vary by market, so the specific regulated Nuvei counterparty must be confirmed before contracting.
- ! UAB Nuvei received a warning, a EUR 90,000 fine, and a June 2026 disclosure covering conflicts, enhanced due diligence, transaction monitoring, and safeguarding controls. Its EMI license remains valid, and remediation was due for audit by September 7, 2026. These findings apply to UAB Nuvei, not every Nuvei entity.
Pay With Crypto
Multi ProductMixedAvailability: Standalone and BundledNuvei offers crypto pay-ins, payouts, conversion, and settlement rather than only a connector to a crypto method. The gaming route supports crypto acceptance with fiat reconciliation, while the digital-asset product covers on-ramp, off-ramp, stablecoin settlement, and payment processing.
The implementation is mixed. The configured crypto transaction provider can be first-party Nuvei Liquidity UAB or third-party Coinify, so each merchant setup must identify its underlying processor.
Products
Integration: The operator enables Pay With Crypto in its Nuvei integration. The approved setup must name either Coinify or Nuvei Liquidity UAB as the crypto transaction provider.

Procurement record
Current product boundaries and the terms that still have to be fixed in the signed order or service agreement.
Contract and supplier
- Crypto service counterpartyContract specific
- Each configuration must identify Nuvei Liquidity UAB or Coinify as the crypto transaction provider and name the Nuvei company supplying the gateway and merchant relationship. The parties can differ by asset, service, and market.
- Merchant relationshipContract specific
- The operator contracts for an approved crypto pay-in, payout, conversion, or settlement configuration. The crypto provider does not supply the operator's gambling license and does not make every Nuvei merchant eligible for digital-asset services.
Implementation
- Assets, networks, and transaction directionsContract specific
- Supported crypto assets, stablecoins, networks, pay-ins, payouts, refunds, on-ramp, off-ramp, conversion, and settlement routes depend on the selected provider and approved merchant configuration.
Operating responsibilities
- Custody, screening, and data rolesContract specific
- The agreement must allocate wallet custody, blockchain monitoring, transaction screening, Travel Rule work, player and wallet data, controller and processor roles, subprocessors, retention, and breach response between the operator, Nuvei, and the selected crypto provider.
Operations and service
- Conversion, settlement, and reconciliationContract specific
- Crypto conversion and stablecoin or bank settlement are available, but asset pricing, spreads, confirmation thresholds, settlement currency, cutoffs, failed-transfer handling, and reconciliation records depend on the configured provider.
- Reversals and disputed transfersContract specific
- Blockchain transfers are not ordinary card chargebacks. The order must define underpayment, overpayment, wrong-network transfers, refunds, screening holds, failed payouts, account compromise, and who bears irreversible-transfer losses.
Commercial terms
- Pricing, reserves, and liquidityNot disclosed
- Gateway fees, provider fees, conversion spread, network costs, payout charges, minimums, reserves, collateral, and liquidity limits are not published for one gaming configuration.
Market and approval scope
- Merchant and jurisdiction approvalContract specific
- The operator, gambling authority, player countries, selected crypto provider, assets, networks, and transaction directions require written approval. Payment or crypto authorization does not approve gambling activity.
Exit and portability
- Wallet, balance, and record exitNot disclosed
- Wallet-address portability, asset withdrawal windows, conversion at termination, pending-transfer handling, reserve release, and complete transaction and screening exports are not disclosed and must be fixed in the merchant agreement.
What to verify in procurement
- ! Coinify and Nuvei Liquidity UAB are alternative underlying providers, so ownership, licensing, settlement, and data roles must be checked for the selected route.
- ! Supported assets and jurisdictions vary and are not a substitute for operator gambling approval.
