Trade-offs
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
Worldline's 2025 filing lists several separate licensed group entities; authorisation depends on the contracting entity.
iGaming stance
The official source describes the product and its use case. This is not an independently measured market-share or performance ranking.
Worth knowing: Conservative risk appetite for gambling — onboarding is slow and far from assured.
Primary-source review: 5 October 2026. This is documentary research, not live payment testing. Provider claims are identified separately from documented terms.
Worldline's 2025 Universal Registration Document lists separate regulated entities and notes that Worldline Sweden AB's wind-down and licence revocation were finalised in February 2026. That event does not imply all Worldline entities lost authorisation; the merchant's actual counterparty matters. Official source.
Global Collect describes server/client APIs and MyCheckout hosted checkout for international online payments. The hosted page and direct integration have different data-handling responsibilities. Official source.
Worldline Financial Services' acquiring-processing APIs serve PSPs, while merchant Global Collect is a different offer. Group-wide banking or processing capabilities should not be attributed indiscriminately to a casino contract. Official source.
Direct access to the developer landing and product page returned HTTP access restrictions. Indexed official pages establish these product models, but do not verify a current gambling tariff or every enabled settlement route. Official source.
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 group's regulatory filing lists entity-specific authorisations and changes. This pass did not independently confirm each regulator entry or complete the enforcement review. A group-wide blanket licence and an unchanged authorisation perimeter are not assumed.
Compliance criterion revised from 8.5 to 7.0 after the evidence review. Other criterion inputs were not changed.

FAQ
Serves licensed gambling merchants as a matter of course. The official source describes the product and its use case. This is not an independently measured market-share or performance ranking.
Europe, Asia, LATAM. Coverage is where the rails reach — confirm acceptance for your specific licence separately, because the two are not the same thing.
We have no public rate card for Worldline. A current merchant-specific public figure was not verified; confirm in the provider contract. Ask for cost per successfully funded account under your own volume and market split rather than a headline rate.
