iGaming Gets a New Crypto Payments Gateway as Pay.io Launches B2B Platform

Key Takeaways

  • Pay.io has launched a B2B crypto payment platform for iGaming operators, combining a gateway, administrative console, and player-facing checkout.
  • The company says its non-custodial model lets operators retain control of funds while licensed custodians execute transactions.
  • Hub88 lists Pay.io on HubMarket, giving operators in its ecosystem access to the service.

Pay.io has launched a crypto payment gateway for iGaming operators, bringing player deposits, withdrawals, and wallet administration into one platform.

The service targets a challenge for online casinos and sportsbooks: offering payments across multiple blockchains while keeping transaction approvals, treasury movements, and reporting under control.

Pay.io offers the product as a business-to-business Platform-as-a-Service. Operators can use its ready-made checkout interface or connect their own through an API.

The company says it coordinates payment instructions without holding merchant funds.

Three Products Cover Payments From Checkout to Treasury

The platform combines a Payment Gateway, Merchant Console, and Cashier UI. Each handles a different stage of the payment process.

The gateway connects an operator’s systems to crypto payment providers. Pay.io says it translates deposit and withdrawal requests into instructions for licensed custodians, who execute transactions. It also returns payment status information to the operator.

The company lists Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon among the networks its iGaming service supports.

Finance and operations teams use the Merchant Console to manage wallets, review transactions, and approve withdrawals.

Pay.io says the console supports balance alerts, withdrawal limits, multi-party authorization, and exports that include transaction hashes, fees, and timestamps. Those records give teams a way to reconcile blockchain activity with their internal accounts.

Players interact with the Cashier UI, a checkout widget that operators can embed in their websites. It handles deposits and withdrawals, displays transaction updates, and offers a fiat-to-crypto purchase option.

Operators that want to design their own payment journey can use the gateway’s API instead. The availability of payment methods may depend on the market and the operator’s setup.

HubMarket Gives Pay.io a Route to Operators

Pay.io also appears in HubMarket, Hub88’s marketplace for iGaming technology suppliers. Hub88 presents the service to operators as a combination of crypto and fiat payment tools, an embeddable cashier, and a console for daily transaction management

The listing gives Pay.io another route to businesses already sourcing products through Hub88’s ecosystem.

The launch reflects a broader shift in how suppliers package crypto payments for gaming businesses. A player-facing deposit option forms only one part of the service.

Operators also need to track funds across wallets, set approval rules, manage withdrawals, and match on-chain transactions to their financial records.

Pay.io’s non-custodial model shapes that offer. The company says it sends instructions while licensed custodians handle transactions, leaving merchants in control of their custody arrangements.

Operators will still need to assess the custodians, supported networks and responsibilities involved in their particular integration.

Adoption Depends on Operations and Local Rules

A single integration could reduce the work required to connect several blockchain payment systems. It cannot remove the obligations that come with accepting digital assets in a gambling business.

Operators must still determine which payment methods their licenses permit and how they will handle customer checks, transaction monitoring, and reporting in each market they serve.

Pay.io has not disclosed transaction volumes, operator adoption figures, or evidence that the new gateway reduces payment costs.

Its immediate proposition is operational: give iGaming teams one place to oversee crypto deposits, withdrawals, and treasury activity while offering players a checkout they can use inside the operator’s site.

The test now is whether operators can add that infrastructure to their existing systems without creating new approval, reconciliation, or compliance bottlenecks.
