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 and processing entitiesContract specific
- The group uses different companies for processing, e-money, wallets, prepaid products, and regional services. The merchant agreement must name every company, sponsor bank, and regulated role used by the operator's card, bank, cash, or wallet flow.
- Merchant relationshipContract specific
- The operator applies as the gaming merchant for the gateway and selected payment services. The contract must state whether each method is directly processed by a Paysafe company, supplied by an owned consumer product, or connected through another provider.
Implementation
- Payment rails and methodsContract specific
- Cards, Pay by Bank, Skrill, Neteller, PaysafeCard, PaysafeCash, and other approved methods can share one integration. Product, country, currency, deposit, withdrawal, refund, and limit availability still require a merchant-specific schedule.
Operating responsibilities
- Player and payment dataContract specific
- The data path changes between card processing, bank payments, wallets, cash products, and connected methods. The order needs PCI scope, controller and processor roles, identity-data sharing, subprocessors, retention, deletion, breach duties, and operator access controls for each route.
Operations and service
- Settlement and reconciliationContract specific
- Settlement entity, currency, bank account, cutoffs, funding timetable, payout funding, deductions, and reconciliation files differ by product and region. One gateway integration does not create one settlement account or one operational calendar.
- Chargebacks, refunds, and disputesContract specific
- Card chargebacks, wallet disputes, cash-product refunds, bank-payment returns, evidence deadlines, fraud thresholds, scheme fees, and loss allocation require separate operating rules for each enabled method.
Commercial terms
- Pricing and reservesNot disclosed
- Gateway, processing, payment-method, currency-conversion, payout, refund, dispute, minimum, reserve, collateral, and reserve-release terms are not published as a single iGaming price card.
Market and approval scope
- Merchant and product approvalContract specific
- Approval must cover the operator entity, owners, gambling license, domains, player locations, methods, currencies, limits, and transaction directions. Group-wide geographic or method counts do not establish access for one merchant.
Exit and portability
- Portability and terminationNot disclosed
- Token migration, wallet or consumer-account continuity, transaction exports, open disputes, unpaid payouts, reserve release, and post-termination reporting are not established outside the product agreements.
Strengths
- + Paysafe has a dedicated iGaming gateway and directly processes card payments for approved gaming merchants.
- + The group owns major consumer payment brands that can be enabled alongside card processing.
What to verify in procurement
- ! Regulated service providers differ by product and region, so the contract must name the actual processing and e-money entities.
- ! Merchant acceptance, reserves, settlement, and accepted gambling licenses are contract-specific.
Wallets, Online Cash, and Local Methods
Multi ProductMixedAvailability: Standalone and BundledPaysafe owns Skrill, Neteller, PaysafeCard, and PaysafeCash and combines them with a wider set of regional payment methods. These are payment products and rails, not payment orchestration software sold separately from the underlying services.
One integration can expose broad local payment coverage, but actual method availability remains country, entity, and merchant specific.
Products
Integration: The operator connects the relevant Paysafe integration. Each wallet or local method is enabled only after product, market, and merchant approval.

Procurement record
Current product boundaries and the terms that still have to be fixed in the signed order or service agreement.
Contract and supplier
- Product and service entitiesContract specific
- Skrill, Neteller, PaysafeCard, PaysafeCash, and connected local methods can involve different regulated companies and method owners. The schedule must name the service company and underlying provider for every enabled method.
- Merchant relationshipContract specific
- The operator is approved for specified consumer wallets, cash products, and local methods. A Paysafe gateway connection does not automatically create acceptance, withdrawal capability, or a direct merchant account for every product.
Implementation
- Wallet, cash, and local-method scopeContract specific
- The deployable catalog must list each method, country, currency, deposit or withdrawal direction, player limit, redirect or API flow, refund behavior, and any separate consumer-account requirement.
Operating responsibilities
- Identity and transaction dataContract specific
- Wallet and prepaid providers can hold their own consumer accounts and compliance records. The contract must allocate identity matching, player-data exchange, controller roles, retention, fraud signals, complaints, and the operator's access to route-level transaction evidence.
Operations and service
- Settlement and reconciliationContract specific
- Settlement currency, timetable, netting, method deductions, wallet and cash funding, payout direction, and reconciliation detail depend on the selected product and legal entity.
- Refunds and disputesContract specific
- Refund, reversal, consumer complaint, unauthorized-payment, failed-cash-redemption, and wallet-dispute procedures differ by method. The operating schedule must assign deadlines, evidence, liability, and escalation paths.
Commercial terms
- Method pricing and reservesNot disclosed
- Per-method fees, currency conversion, payout charges, minimums, reserve requirements, volume tiers, and termination charges are not disclosed for gaming merchants.
Market and approval scope
- Market and method approvalContract specific
- Each wallet, cash product, and local method is limited by the operator's gambling permission, merchant approval, player country, product rules, and regulated service entity. The global catalog is not a merchant availability list.
Exit and portability
- Method removal and account exitNot disclosed
- Notice periods, saved-method migration, pending payment or withdrawal treatment, complete transaction exports, consumer-account continuity, reserve release, and post-termination dispute access are not disclosed and must be fixed in the product agreements.
What to verify in procurement
- ! The global method count does not mean every method is available to one gaming merchant.
Pay with Crypto
Multi ProductMixedAvailability: Bundle OnlyPay with Crypto is a live North American crypto deposit method for approved iGaming and daily-fantasy-sports merchants using the Paysafe Gateway. Paysafe creates the payment handle, returns gateway status, exposes webhook outcomes, and includes the transaction in Paysafe reporting.
MoonPay supplies the underlying crypto service. The player completes the wallet flow on a MoonPay-hosted page, and MoonPay handles KYC and AML checks, blockchain monitoring, conversion, and direct merchant settlement. Paysafe does not process the crypto, interact with the wallet, or settle the funds.
Products
Integration: An approved merchant enables PAY_BY_CRYPTO in the Paysafe Payments API or Checkout and creates a payment handle. The player completes the crypto leg with MoonPay, and the operator waits for asynchronous webhook status before completing the Paysafe payment call.

Contract and supplier
- Supplier chainKnown
- Paysafe supplies the gateway payment handle, status, webhook, and reporting layer. MoonPay supplies the hosted wallet flow, KYC and AML checks, blockchain processing, conversion, refunds, and direct merchant settlement.
- Merchant relationshipContract specific
- The route is available to approved North American iGaming or daily-fantasy merchants using the Paysafe Gateway. New merchants complete Paysafe card-processing onboarding before the crypto-method review; MoonPay's merchant and settlement relationship must also be identified.
Implementation
- Crypto flowKnown
- The operator creates a PAY_BY_CRYPTO handle, redirects the player to MoonPay, waits for asynchronous status, and completes the Paysafe payment call. The product covers deposits and full refunds, not player crypto payouts or partial refunds.
Operating responsibilities
- Wallet, compliance, and data rolesContract specific
- MoonPay interacts with the player wallet and performs the crypto screening and conversion. The agreements must allocate controller and processor roles, identity data, wallet addresses, blockchain records, status data, subprocessors, retention, breach duties, and operator access.
Operations and service
- Settlement and reconciliationKnown
- MoonPay settles converted funds directly to the merchant. Paysafe provides gateway status and reporting. The contract must reconcile MoonPay settlement records to Paysafe handles, webhooks, refunds, bank credits, and player-ledger entries.
- Refund and transfer exceptionsContract specific
- Full refunds run through MoonPay; partial refunds and crypto payouts are outside the product. Confirmation delays, wrong-network transfers, screening holds, abandoned redirects, webhook disagreement, refund timing, and irreversible-transfer loss require written procedures.
Commercial terms
- Pricing and reservesNot disclosed
- Paysafe gateway charges, MoonPay transaction and conversion fees, network costs, minimums, reserves, settlement deductions, and termination charges are not disclosed for this gaming route.
Market and approval scope
- Merchant and market approvalContract specific
- Approval is limited to the named North American operator, gambling or fantasy authority, domain, player location, asset, network, and deposit flow. Access across other states, provinces, merchants, or assets requires separate approval.
Exit and portability
- Route terminationNot disclosed
- Pending handles, unsettled conversions, refunds, reconciliation exports, retained compliance records, reserve release, and post-termination portal access are not established outside the Paysafe and MoonPay agreements.
Strengths
- + Pay with crypto uses a payment handle, hosted redirect, webhook updates, reporting, and refund operations.
- + The product was launched specifically for US iGaming and daily fantasy sports rather than inferred from a generic connector catalog.
What to verify in procurement
- ! This is an operator-facing Paysafe integration, not Paysafe-owned crypto processing. MoonPay is responsible for the blockchain, KYC and AML, conversion, and settlement layers.
- ! Existing iGaming merchants must contact their account manager. New merchants must first complete Paysafe card-processing onboarding before Pay with Crypto onboarding.
- ! MoonPay has no universal contracting entity or controller and processor allocation. Both boundaries must be resolved in the contract and subprocessor terms.
- ! Pay With Crypto supports deposits and refunds, not crypto payouts; refunds are handled through MoonPay and partial refunds are not supported.
