About Gaming Merchant Accounts
ARE GAMING BUSINESSES HIGH RISK?
Gaming businesses are inherently considered high risk by financial institutions, simply due to the nature of the business.
Gaming businesses can include e-sports, online gambling, casinos, and betting, as well as mobile gaming. The industry is prone to disputed charges, frequent chargebacks, and even fraud.
In addition, any business that offers online, or card not present, payments is considered high risk as well, as this can increase the likelihood of fraud.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU NEED CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FOR YOUR GAMING BUSINESS
It’s important for gaming business owners to offer cashless payment options for their customers, which means they need a merchant account.
The right gaming merchant account will offer multiple cashless payment options, including check, credit, online, and mobile options.
Merchant accounts for online gaming providers can also help protect against fraud, enhance security for customers, keep a digital record of all payments, and process payments quickly.
Easy Pay Direct specializes in high-risk industries and has experience working with gaming businesses.
We understand the unique challenges of your business and can provide you with the right merchant account that will meet all your needs.
For more information, please contact us at 800.805.4949 or get started here.
GAMING MERCHANT ACCOUNTS
A gaming merchant account is a specific type of bank account that allows merchants to accept payments. Typically, a merchant account is used for credit card processing and eCheck processing but can be used for various payment processing needs. To get a merchant account, simply fill out our quick form and we will help you get set up.
These online gaming merchant account providers work with acquiring banks, such as Chase and Wells Fargo, to provide merchant accounts to businesses looking to process credit card payments.
Depending on how the bank categorizes the merchant’s industry, there are multiple types of merchant accounts.
If the merchant account is used for card not present (CNP) or e-commerce transactions, then it must be integrated with an online payment gateway. Otherwise, a physical terminal is required to capture payment information.
About Easy Pay Direct
WHO EASY PAY DIRECT WORKS WITH
Easy Pay Direct specializes in offering merchant accounts tailored for businesses categorized as “high risk” by financial institutions. This designation typically arises from industries prone to higher instances of chargebacks, disputes, and fraud, often attributed to card-not-present transactions.
Securing a reliable merchant account presents a significant challenge for these businesses, as many payment processors shy away from high-risk payment processing.
Moreover, those who do claim to offer “high risk” processing, often impose account holds, freezes, or even terminations, exacerbating the operational hurdles for high-risk merchants.
Recognizing these challenges, Easy Pay Direct excels in high risk merchant accounts and ensures stability and reliability, with the fastest safe way to process payments.
We are committed to ensuring your business thrives by offering comprehensive solutions for your high-risk payment processing needs, making us the ideal partner for managing and mitigating the complexities associated with high-risk transactions.
WHAT EASY PAY DIRECT PROVIDES: MERCHANT ACCOUNTS
Easy Pay Direct excels in providing merchant accounts by strategically leveraging our extensive banking relationships. Our process goes beyond merely applying for any merchant account; we prioritize providers who are eager to support your specific business model and conduct thorough underwriting.
This approach ensures providers fully understand your business from the outset, fostering a transparent partnership and reducing the likelihood of account holds, freezes, or terminations. Consequently, our clients enjoy stable and reliable credit card processing.
Moreover, with Easy Pay Direct, the daunting process of applying for merchant accounts becomes a thing of the past. Unlike the minimal underwriting performed by many providers—which often necessitates multiple applications, each diminishing your approval prospects—our method significantly enhances your chances of securing a suitable merchant account from the start.
This not only streamlines the application process but also positions your business as more appealing and less risky to potential providers.
AFTER YOUR MERCHANT ACCOUNT IS SET UP
We strongly advise clients with annual sales exceeding $250,000 to allow us to set them up with an additional merchant account. We can do this quickly and it will ensure greater stability for your business.
While we take extensive measures to mitigate risks such as account holds, freezes, or shutdowns, the unpredictability of banking policies—be it due to new personnel or algorithm changes—can pose unforeseen challenges. Having a secondary merchant account ready ensures you can swiftly redirect your payment processing, safeguarding your revenue flow against potential disruptions.
Navigating multiple merchant accounts might seem daunting, but Easy Pay Direct simplifies the entire process.
Our service includes comprehensive management of your accounts, significantly minimizing your involvement. We provide a dedicated Certified Payment Specialist (CPS) to oversee your merchant accounts, offering you a singular, reliable point of contact for all payment processing inquiries and needs.
With Easy Pay Direct, securing and managing your merchant accounts becomes effortless, allowing you to focus on growing your business with peace of mind.

Why is my business considered high risk?
“High Risk” is a deceiving term used by banking industries and credit card issuers such as Visa & Mastercard. It’s important to note that many business models are seemingly low risk, but fall into the high risk category.
There is nothing wrong with being considered high risk, and there are many factors that contribute to risk. However, if you fall into a high risk industry, it is very important that you use a full service merchant account provider such as Easy Pay Direct to process payments.
It is important for the longevity of your business to stay away from what are referred to as "payment aggregators" such as Stripe, Square, and others if you are labeled as high risk.
When a consumer buys an item with a credit card, they are given 6 months from the date of receiving the item to dispute the charge.
The first thing that happens is the bank attempts to pull the money from your bank account. If your business is no longer in operation... The credit card processor has to refund the money, which for obvious reasons, costs. the processor money and is damaging to their business.
So if your industry. has a high rate of chargebacks or fraud, it is considered riskier, or high risk.
Even if your business is perfect, has never had a chargeback, and operates 100% “by the books”, you could be labeled high risk if you’re business or industry falls into a high risk category.
There are 3 main reasons a business can be considered high risk.
- The business has a greater chance of chargebacks occurring
- The business model may be new or legally regulated
- The business accepts a high number of card not present transactions (over the phone, email, eCommerce)
Do you provide merchant account services outside of the USA?
At this time Easy Pay Direct offers merchant account services for the USA and Canada. We are always working to expand our areas of processing and hope to serve a greater area in the near future.
Can my startup or new business be approved?
We have worked with many new brands and start-ups to get them approved and running. While banks like to see a long history of processing statements before approving a merchant account, we can get you approved.
At Easy Pay Direct, we have a long-standing history (almost two decades) with multiple banking partners. And they are happy to work with us and our clients to get accounts approved.
How long does it take to get approved for a merchant account?
The short answer... We can get you approved in 24 hours.
The caveat to that is... It will take us as long as it takes you to get us all of your documents.
At Easy Pay Direct, we underwrite accounts thoroughly so that the likelihood of you ever having a problem is drastically reduced. This means less or zero holds to your money, stable accounts, and better service.
Underwriting requires documents known as KYC (know your customer), which is a federal regulation. So if you can get us your documents right away, we can get you up and running VERY quickly.
