Our new solution: Pay anonymously, by giftcard
Instabill offers online gambling and casino owners several solutions to accept payments online, the most popular method with a credit card. Recently, however, Instabill unveiled a new payment solution which enables the player to pay for the game of his choice – online slots, poker or blackjack – via a gift card. Our gift card payment solution works as such:
- The online casino owner places the widget of our partner as an option on their payment page.
- The player clicks on the widget when entering the casino, and is directed to purchase a gift card from Amazon, Walmart, Target or Apple.
- The player purchases the gift card for the desired amount, and submits payment through the widget by entering the gift card number and PIN.
- The casino owner receives payout in either ACH or cryptocurrency.
This solution is ideal for industries such as adult/emotional content, online gaming, pharmaceuticals, kratom and many others. It is also a viable solution for merchants who have difficulty getting a merchant account as well as consumers who don’t have a bank account.

Why is online gambling considered high risk?
With the exception of Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania, online gambling remains illegal by U.S. federal law. Additionally, most internet gambling sites are based offshore, leaving U.S. banks no options to providing credit card processing solutions.
Other factors contributing to its high risk label include high chargeback rates and the risk of gambling addiction, with which some banks choose not to be associated.
Chargeback prevention for online gambling merchant accounts
Chargebacks can be a problem for an online gaming business. A player at an online blackjack table takes a huge loss, telephones his credit card issuer and denies the charge. It’s a he-said, she-said battle that e-commerce merchants rarely win.
Instabill provides merchants the education they need to prevent, dispute and even reverse chargebacks with its frequent blog posts on chargeback strategy, as well as its satellite website, Instabill.org, which is full of helpful content geared to mitigating chargebacks.
