Game Currency & Virtual Goods Payment Processing

The global virtual goods market exceeds $50 billion annually, with in-game purchases representing a primary revenue stream for mobile games, MMORPGs, and online gaming platforms.

  • High Fraud Rates: Stolen credit cards used for virtual currency purchases and gold farming
  • Chargeback Risk: Players disputing purchases after consuming virtual goods
  • Minor Purchases: Age verification challenges and parental dispute chargebacks
  • Account Trading: Third-party marketplace transactions and account ownership disputes
  • Currency Laundering: Use of virtual currencies for money laundering schemes
