Supported regionsEuropeThe current iDEAL website presents the service as iDEAL | Wero. Customers approve an online bank payment in their own banking environment without creating a separate iDEAL account. Merchant integration remains through a participating PSP or acquirer; the transition to Wero and the enabled bank, country and checkout version should be checked with that partner.

Figures marked “Not disclosed” have no public source. Most iGaming payment pricing is negotiated per merchant — we leave the gap visible rather than estimating.How we handle sources
Licences
iDEAL | Wero is a payment scheme. The acquiring/CPSP partner must hold its own applicable regulatory authorisation and scheme certification.
iGaming stance
The official source describes the product and its use case. This is not an independently measured market-share or performance ranking.
Primary-source review: 5 October 2026. This is documentary research, not live payment testing. Provider claims are identified separately from documented terms.
The iDEAL | Wero FAQ requires eligible scheme partners to be licensed PSPs in the relevant European register, with applicable passporting and scheme certification. A scheme agreement is not a substitute for the merchant's acquiring relationship or gambling approval. Official source.
iDEAL | Wero is a bank payment method, not a standalone casino acquirer. Merchants use their bank or PSP contract; participating consumer banks enable payment without a separate wallet registration. Official source.
Currence's public fee table is for issuers, acquirers and certificate holders, including scheme/routing and certification fees. It is not the merchant's retail per-deposit tariff; that comes from the acquiring PSP. Official source.
The new iDEAL Hub adds a central bank-selection/payment page and optional profile-based delivery data. Future recurring/later-payment concepts on this page are not proof that every merchant integration already supports them. Official source.
Primary evidence for the industry use case or acceptance policy. Regional tags are evaluation coverage, not blanket gambling approval.
Checked 5 October 2026
Seven weighted factors produce 7.4. The heaviest is derived from the stance above, not scored by hand.
Regulatory assessment · 21 October 2026
7.0/10: the scheme documents regulatory and certification requirements for participating PSPs. This is scheme governance, not evidence that the payment method itself holds a merchant-acquiring licence. An operator must check its actual acquirer/CPSP.
Compliance criterion revised from 8.5 to 7.0 after the evidence review. Other criterion inputs were not changed.
