The gateway layer
Built around the full payment state, not only the pay button.
A gaming payment can move from intent to authentication, approval, failure, refund or dispute. The gateway keeps those states connected to the player order and visible to the operator.
India payment method planning
Scope UPI, cards, net banking and supported wallets against the game model, merchant entity, user journey and payment-partner approval.
Risk and verification controls
Connect velocity rules, authentication, player and device signals, allow/deny lists and manual review decisions to the transaction flow.
Payment operations
Track gateway references, partner responses, refunds, disputes and settlement information in a consistent ledger for support and reconciliation teams.
Payment choice in India
Offer the methods your approved model can support.
Availability is never assumed. We map each method to the merchant category, payment purpose and partner rules before it appears at checkout.
UPIIntent, collect or other approved flows
CardsDomestic and eligible international acceptance
Net bankingSupported bank journeys through approved partners
WalletsSelected wallet options where the use case qualifies
SubscriptionsMandates or recurring access for eligible social-game models
RefundsReference-linked refund and reversal operations

From onboarding to live payments
A five-stage gateway launch.
Eligibility comes first. That keeps the technical work aligned with what can actually be approved and operated.
- 01
Classify the game and payment purpose
We review the game mechanics, geography, player journey and every movement of money. Prohibited online money games, wagers and betting are not supported.
- 02
Complete business due diligence
Share company, ownership, product, policy and payment-volume information so the merchant and risk profile can be assessed.
- 03
Design the payment route
Eligible methods, checkout type, acquiring relationships, refund logic and reconciliation needs become a practical solution scope.
- 04
Integrate and test edge cases
Connect checkout, API calls and webhooks, then test success, decline, retry, timeout, duplicate, refund and support scenarios.
- 05
Approve, activate and operate
Approved methods go live with access controls, monitoring, support ownership and a clear escalation path for payment incidents.
India eligibility gate
The game model decides the payment path.
India's current national framework distinguishes legitimate esports and online social games from prohibited online money games. We provide our payment gateway for lawful, eligible use cases and do not support wagers, betting or prohibited money-gaming services.
- Game category and monetisation are documented before method selection.
- Payment purpose is matched to the user terms and actual product flow.
- Merchant approval remains subject to partners and the rules in force.
Control after checkout
Payment data your support, risk and finance teams can use.
Traceable references
Keep the game order, gateway transaction, payment partner and refund references joined so support can investigate without guesswork.
Signed state changes
Use verified webhook events and idempotent handling to reduce duplicate fulfilment and conflicting transaction states.
Reconciliation-ready exports
Compare gateway activity with acquiring or payment-partner settlement data and resolve exceptions with a clear audit trail.
Configurable risk context
Feed transaction, account, device and velocity context into the approved controls for the merchant's game model.
Frequently asked
Questions before you start gateway onboarding.
For a model-specific answer, send the game URL and a short explanation of what players pay for.
What is a payment gateway for online gaming?
A payment gateway for online gaming is the technology layer that securely sends transaction data between a game's checkout, payment partners and the merchant's payment setup. It can support approved payment methods, authentication, routing, transaction status updates, refunds and reporting.
Which online gaming businesses can use the gateway in India?
We provide the gateway to lawful, eligible business models such as qualifying esports and online social games. We do not support prohibited online money games, wagering or betting. Gateway activation is subject to the rules in force, merchant category and payment-partner requirements.
Can the gateway support UPI, cards and net banking?
UPI, cards, net banking and supported wallets may be included when the business model, use case and merchant are eligible. Final method availability depends on due diligence, acquiring and payment-partner approval, technical scope and current regulation.
How is a payment gateway different from a payment aggregator?
In the Reserve Bank of India's framework, a payment gateway provides technology infrastructure for online payment transactions without handling funds, while a payment aggregator receives customer funds before transferring them to merchants. A commercial setup may include regulated banks or payment aggregators alongside the gateway technology.
What does onboarding require?
Onboarding normally requires company and ownership documents, the game URL or app, a clear explanation of the game and payment flow, terms and privacy notices, projected payment activity, refund rules and any registrations or opinions relevant to eligibility.
How long does integration take?
The timeline depends on eligibility checks, document readiness, payment-method approvals and the required checkout, webhook, refund and reporting work. We provide a scoped integration plan during onboarding; no fixed approval or go-live time is promised.
