Supported regionsEurope · Asia · LATAMCoinPayments provides payment software with virtual-asset services supplied by named counterparties or partners. Its current public pricing differs from older widely repeated 0.5% figures. Merchants should identify their platform instance, legal counterparty and applicable agreement before using it for gambling.
Assessment basis. Gambling acceptance remains selective and agreement-specific. Compliance is limited by the counterparty structure and incomplete independent licence verification. The published processing, network and high-risk fee structure supports transparency. Multiple regions are available subject to restrictions. API, sandbox and instance documentation support integration; blockchain confirmation and custodial settlement risks limit settlement and reliability scores.

iGaming stance
Industry scope is based on the official product and policy sources below. Marketing claims are not independently measured market share or payment performance.
Worth knowing: Do not use historical 0.5% pricing: the current reviewed fee page lists processing starting at 3%, with potential high-risk adjustments. Gambling must satisfy the applicable agreement and both parties’ jurisdictions.
Primary-source review: 19 October 2026. This is documentary research, not live payment testing. Provider claims are identified separately from documented terms.
The reviewed fee page lists processing starting at 3%, with network fees for relevant settlement modes and possible high-risk adjustments. Personal-wallet deposit allowances are separate from merchant processing pricing. Official source.
The current linked agreement identifies CoinPayments Inc. and PaidInSatoshi Inc., with separate arrangements for EEA customers. It prohibits unlawful gambling and limits lawful gaming to permitted jurisdictions. Confirm the agreement applying to the actual account. Official source.
The legal page explains the third-party VASP service model and excluded countries, including Russia and Belarus. A brand-wide reach claim does not establish eligibility for every merchant entity or payer. Official source.
The current documentation describes a REST JSON API, webhooks, SDKs, sandbox support and country-dependent platform instances. The selected instance determines the relevant endpoints and legal entity. Official source.
Seven weighted factors produce 6.2. The heaviest is derived from the stance above, not scored by hand.
Regulatory assessment · 21 October 2026
5.0/10: a current authorisation for the contracting entity was not independently confirmed in the published evidence. The criterion is capped at 5.5 under the unverified-authorisation rubric. This is an evidence limitation, not a finding that the company is unlicensed or unlawful. For schemes and technical platforms, check the actual regulated PSP or acquirer rather than assuming the platform holds its authorisation.
