Crypto payouts in iGaming top $1bn as instant withdrawals take hold
As crypto payouts in iGaming shift from novelty to necessity, one regulated provider is already powering over $1 billion (€930 million) in annual mass payouts. This emphasises just how rapidly the payments landscape is shifting.
Paybis, a crypto exchange founded in 2014, has launched Paybis Send, a licensed, API-driven payout platform tailored for iGaming, PSP, and affiliate businesses. The tool supports fast, compliant crypto transfers across more than 140 countries, with full fiat-to-crypto functionality.
Paybis Send is on track to process over $1 billion (€930 million) in mass crypto payouts in 2025 alone, with an average transaction value of $85,000 (€79,050), according to Innokenty Isers, Founder and CEO. Speaking exclusively to SiGMA News, he said,
“We’re working with dozens of leading iGaming, PSP, and affiliate marketing brands. The demand for flexible, borderless payments keeps rising.”
The rise of crypto payouts in iGaming
Converging pressures are driving the move from novelty to necessity. Players expect instant withdrawals. Partners demand clean, auditable payments. Regulators want traceability. At the same time, 90 percent of compliance leaders expect their costs to rise by 30 percent, according to Sprinto. Crypto-savvy players are also pushing for more privacy, and as SiGMA News explored in a recent in-depth interview with Innokenty Isers, demand is often far ahead of regulation. As a result, crypto payouts in iGaming are fast becoming core infrastructure, not just an optional extra.
Paybis Send aims to reduce payout friction by enabling clients to instantly convert fiat to crypto, using named IBANs and an integration-ready API. Supported assets include Bitcoin, Tether, USD Coin, and TON.
The platform consolidates multiple payout tools into a single, intuitive interface. Operators can fund accounts using SEPA, SWIFT, Fedwire, or ACH. Operators can trigger payouts manually or through API calls, locking rates at execution and receiving real-time confirmations via webhooks. The platform supports Bitcoin, USDT, USDC, and TON, processing them through a regulated IBAN infrastructure linked to the operator’s legal entity.
Operators in underserved or high-growth markets can access payouts within minutes, without needing a traditional bank account, making the platform an ideal fit for them. These include parts of Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, where cross-border banking delays can hurt performance.
Licences that matter in a shifting compliance climate
Crypto payouts in iGaming aren’t just about speed. They’re also about trust. That means licensing matters.
Paybis Send is built on four key regulatory pillars. The company is registered as a Money Services Business with FinCEN in the U.S. It also appears in the FINTRAC database as a foreign MSB in Canada. In the UK, it operates under the Financial Promotion Regime, launched in late 2023, which allows for the compliant onboarding of British users. Meanwhile, its Polish subsidiary holds VASP registration, securing post-MiCA access to EU markets.
“Our Polish subsidiary is also registered as a VASP under RDWW-805,” said Isers. “This gives us an EU presence post-MiCA, even though these licences aren’t gaming-specific.”
This regulatory footprint allows Paybis to support clients navigating crypto payouts in iGaming without skirting oversight. While these licences are not gaming-specific, they are critical for legal operations in global markets. The FinCEN and FINTRAC listings allow fiat-to-crypto services in the US and Canada. The UK’s Financial Promotion Regime enables legal marketing to British users. The Polish VASP registration ensures Paybis is compliant with EU rules under MiCA. This allows iGaming companies to outsource complexity without incurring regulatory risk.
Licensing also supports faster dispute resolution through regulated channels and ensures players and partners benefit from stronger consumer protections. For operators, it provides access to better payment rails, trusted service providers, and higher-tier market partnerships, which are advantages that unregulated platforms can’t offer.
With support for over 140 countries, Paybis adapts to a wide range of local regulations by focusing on regulated conversions, not direct gambling activities. This model avoids regulatory flashpoints and gives clients a compliant path for global crypto payouts in iGaming.
From IBAN to instant
One of Paybis Send’s key strengths is its ability to streamline fiat-to-crypto operations in a way that suits B2B and B2C flows. Each client receives a dedicated IBAN in their company name. Incoming SEPA, SWIFT, Fedwire, or ACH transfers are automatically credited to the business’s Paybis balance. Once funded, the account can be used to trigger crypto payouts via API or dashboard with quotes locked at execution and delivery confirmed via webhook.
“Payouts can be automated or handled manually,” Isers told SiGMA News. “It’s fast, flexible, and doesn’t require rebuilding the whole payments stack.”
Legacy systems, fragmented compliance, and poor user experience (UX) often hinder crypto payouts in iGaming. Paybis Send addresses all three by offering control, speed, and integration options that suit iGaming-specific needs.
The API integrates seamlessly into the operator’s platform. It supports both automated and manual payouts, locking the rate at the moment of execution. A webhook confirms completion, ensuring operational clarity and reducing reconciliation errors at high volume.
By fixing the rate at the moment of transfer, operators avoid exposure to crypto volatility. That consistency matters when processing thousands of payouts. It also reduces the need for manual corrections, making financial reporting far more efficient. This enhances operational efficiency and fosters trust with recipients who expect transparent and consistent cryptocurrency settlements.
Why this matters now
According to Sprinto, 90 percent of compliance leaders expect costs to rise by 30 percent shortly. At the same time, crypto-savvy players are demanding faster, more private ways to cash out. Operators face two mounting pressures: tightening regulations and growing player expectations. That’s where crypto payouts in iGaming become more than a perk. They’re becoming core infrastructure.
In markets such as Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, cross-border banking can stall payouts for days. Paybis Send removes that friction. Affiliates get their stablecoin commissions faster, and PSPs can scale into new regions without the usual banking hurdles. This makes the tool flexible across the entire value chain, not just for casinos but also for the platforms that power them.
“This is where iGaming payments are heading,” said Isers. “We’ve built something that’s regulated, scalable, and simple to use, not just for crypto natives but for mainstream operators too.”
This approach aligns with wider shifts in the crypto space, as seen in SiGMA’s coverage of Peter Tassiopoulos and the crypto gaming revolution, where innovation meets operational clarity. While a growing number of platforms now offer crypto payout tools, many operate without meaningful licensing or struggle with cross-border fiat infrastructure. Paybis Send stands out by combining global reach with a fully regulated compliance model, a rare combination in a space where speed often comes at the cost of oversight. For operators weighing the risk, regulatory clarity is a competitive edge in itself.
Paybis Send may not have launched with fireworks, but its presence is already being felt. In today’s fast-changing iGaming landscape, regulated crypto payout platforms are no longer optional. They’re essential for staying compliant, competitive, and globally connected.
