Paysafe, a global leader in payment technology, has announced a strategic partnership with Pay.com. This is a payment orchestration platform focused on simplifying and optimizing complex payment environments. The collaboration aims to enhance merchant payment processing by combining Paysafe’s extensive acquiring and alternative payment capabilities with Pay.com’s orchestration and routing technology.
The partnership carries particular relevance for the iGaming sector, where regulated iGaming transactions demand high authorization rates, secure payment flows, and flexibility across jurisdictions. As online gaming operators continue to expand globally, the need for scalable iGaming payment solutions has become a core operational priority rather than a back-end consideration. This agreement positions both companies to address that demand through a unified, technology-driven approach.
Under the agreement, Paysafe becomes one of the recommended acquirers for card transactions processed through the Pay.com platform. This designation allows merchants using Pay.com to route card payments directly through Paysafe’s acquiring infrastructure, benefiting from its global reach and regulatory expertise.
The integration enables Pay.com clients to access optimized card processing without negotiating separate acquiring relationships. Centralized routing logic within the payment orchestration platform determines when Paysafe provides the highest probability of authorization, helping merchants maximize authorization rates while maintaining compliance with regional regulations.
Beyond card acquiring, the partnership significantly expands access to alternative payment methods (APMs). Merchants on Pay.com’s platform gain direct integration with Paysafe’s digital wallets Skrill and Neteller. They are both widely used in online gaming markets, as well as PaysafeCard eCash.
Digital wallets in online gaming play a critical role in supporting fast deposits, controlled spending, and localized payment preferences. Skrill and Neteller integration allows players to fund accounts without sharing card details, while PaysafeCard eCash supports prepaid transactions that appeal to privacy-conscious users in regulated markets.
This expanded APM offering strengthens Pay.com’s value proposition as a single integration point for diverse payment types, reducing technical overhead for merchants operating across multiple regions.
Pay.com’s core orchestration technology sits at the center of the partnership. By unifying multiple payment providers under one platform, Pay.com enables centralized risk management, intelligent transaction routing, and performance monitoring.
The result is a more seamless checkout experience for end users. Transactions are dynamically routed to the most suitable acquirer or payment method based on geography, transaction type, and historical performance. This orchestration layer supports higher acceptance rates and more consistent authorization outcomes, particularly in high-volume environments such as iGaming.
Payment friction remains one of the primary causes of user drop-off in online gaming. The following directly affects player retention and lifetime value:
The Paysafe Pay.com partnership addresses these issues by streamlining payment flows across both deposits and payouts. For iGaming operators, access to reliable APMs and optimized card processing improves transaction success rates. For players, faster and more predictable payment experiences increase trust and engagement. This alignment benefits both sides of the ecosystem.
Paysafe’s long-standing presence in regulated iGaming transactions adds a layer of credibility to the partnership. The company has built its reputation by supporting licensed operators across Europe, North America, and other regulated jurisdictions.
By embedding Paysafe’s infrastructure into a payment orchestration platform, Pay.com strengthens its ability to serve compliance-focused industries. Merchants gain confidence that payment flows align with regulatory requirements while remaining flexible enough to support multiple local payment preferences.
Paysafe is already live with several merchant customers on the Pay.com platform, signaling that the integration has moved beyond pilot stages into active deployment. This early adoption demonstrates operational readiness and real-world applicability across merchant segments.
Looking ahead, more than 20 additional merchants are expected to onboard the combined Paysafe and Pay.com solution by the end of 2026. This projected growth reflects increasing demand for orchestration-driven payment architectures, particularly among online businesses managing multiple acquirers and payment methods.
For iGaming brands scaling across regions, the ability to add new markets without rebuilding payment infrastructure represents a strategic advantage. Centralized orchestration simplifies expansion while maintaining consistent performance metrics.
Leadership from both organizations has emphasized the strategic importance of flexibility and efficiency in modern payment environments. Executives highlighted how the partnership enhances transaction routing capabilities and improves relationships between merchants and their customers.
From Paysafe’s perspective, the collaboration extends its reach by embedding its services within a broader orchestration ecosystem. This approach allows Paysafe to support merchants earlier in the payment decision process, rather than acting solely as a downstream processor.
Pay.com executives have pointed to the value of integrating a payments provider with deep iGaming expertise. Access to Paysafe’s acquiring network, digital wallets, and eCash solutions strengthens Pay.com’s ability to deliver measurable improvements in checkout performance and authorization success.
The Paysafe Pay.com partnership reflects a broader shift within the payments industry toward orchestration-led models. Rather than relying on single-provider stacks, merchants increasingly favor platforms that aggregate providers and optimize performance dynamically.
In sectors such as iGaming, where transaction volumes are high and regulatory requirements vary widely, this model offers clear advantages. Payment orchestration platforms reduce dependency on any single acquirer while enabling data-driven routing decisions that improve outcomes.
The strategic alliance between Paysafe and Pay.com represents a meaningful development in iGaming payment solutions. Through the integration of acquiring services, alternative payment methods, and orchestration technology, the partnership addresses core challenges in merchant payment processing.
For iGaming operators, the collaboration promises reduced friction, improved authorization rates, and access to trusted digital wallets. As deployment expands and additional merchants are onboarded through 2026, the Paysafe Pay.com partnership is positioned to play a significant role in shaping the future of regulated online payments.
