An iGaming merchant account from a bank that knows your category

Roots Payments places state-licensed sportsbooks and online casinos with acquiring banks and processors that knowingly underwrite licensed real-money wagering, 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.
