Payment providers

It is always good to offer a number of payment solutions, we try to gather all here but please contact news@betpuls.com if you miss anything.

VISA/Mastercard (Global)

Please be aware that you either take a solution where the payment provider actually has the merchantaccount, this is usually more expensive than if you apply for a merchantaccount on your own. There is also companies that can handle a lot of your fraud monitoring etc like datacash.com. Cost/Transaction usually is between 2-4% depending on account and supplier, remember to have multi currency to avoid getting upset customers where they entered a amount but gets charged another due to conversion rates at the banks.

We estimate that 90% of all gaming transactions in Europe are made with VISA/Mastercard.

Wallets (Global)

Easy to sign up with, and a lot of them also offer direct payments by VISA/Mastercard no signup needed. However this is often more expensive than traditional merchantaccounts and wallet transfers. They might also have instant banktransfers in their systems so customers without Credit/Debitcards can get fast deposits and withdrawals. We estimate that 5% of all transactions are handled by Wallets.

Direct Banktransfer

Traditional banktransfers are still in demand, and we strongly recommend that you accept it. You can either open your own accounts or use services from companies such as globalcollect.com. We would recommend that you try and apply for the biggest banks in respective country, and it is important that you have intenet access to the account so you can process deposits and withdrawals directly.

We estimate that 5% of all gamingtransactions are by Banktransfer.
