Video game studios and real-money gaming operators now face the same payment challenge. Both process large numbers of small transactions in real time, across borders, from accounts that may carry no card on file. A studio selling a cosmetic item at $4.99 and a poker operator clearing a $50 deposit face the same questions about approval rates, fraud, and settlement speed. The infrastructure built for one transfers to the other. With in-game revenue on mobile alone past $80 billion a year in 2024, the payment stack that betting operators already use is worth a studio's attention.
