See what each option adds to the way your business takes and tracks payments.

High-Risk Merchant Account

For charitable gaming, bingo & raffles: Present your model for permitted gaming purchases and contest transactions to specialist processing partners, with product and fulfillment documentation prepared. Roots Payments places charitable gaming and raffle organizers with acquiring banks and processors that knowingly underwrite raffle tickets and bingo, so the account is built to last instead of flagged after the first review. We work with virtually any legal business, subject to underwriting; pricing, limits, and terms depend on the acquirer's review. Reserves may apply, and any reserve is disclosed in your agreement before you sign.
  • Pre-underwriting review of your website, checkout, and documents (state charitable gaming license and nonprofit status)
  • Application packaged and submitted only to acquirers with appetite for your category
  • Plain-English walkthrough of pricing, reserve, and termination terms before you sign
