Coinbase Commerce Launches iGaming Payment Suite Enabling Regulated Crypto Casino Deposits in 47 Countries

The iGaming Payment Suite integrates directly with major gaming platform APIs including Everi, International Game Technology (IGT), and SBTech, enabling operators to activate crypto payment acceptance without replacing existing cashier infrastructure. Supported assets at launch include Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, USDT, and Solana. Settlement is available in both crypto and USD, with automatic conversion protecting operators from cryptocurrency price volatility during the settlement window.

“The regulated iGaming market has been underserved by institutional crypto payment infrastructure for too long,” said Coinbase Commerce’s General Manager. “Operators have been forced to choose between the compliance certainty of traditional payment processors and the player demand for crypto. Our iGaming suite eliminates that trade-off by embedding KYC, AML, and sanctions screening directly into the payment flow — making crypto deposits as compliance-ready as card transactions.”

The KYC layer uses Coinbase's institutional identity verification infrastructure to cross-reference depositing wallet addresses against over 900 regulatory watchlists including OFAC sanctions lists, FinCEN designations, and Europol cybercrime databases. For operators requiring enhanced due diligence on high-value deposits, the suite integrates with Chainalysis blockchain analytics to provide wallet risk scoring before funds are credited to player accounts.

Early adopters announced at launch include three European Tier 1 online casino operators, two US-licensed sportsbooks with crypto payment verticals, and a consortium of Latin American operators targeting the newly regulated Brazilian market. Coinbase projects the iGaming Payment Suite will process $4 to $6 billion in annualized transaction volume within 18 months of full commercial availability, which is expected in Q3 2026.
