Your Bank Wasn't Built For Your Business. Vellis Is.
Gaming operators face account restrictions, payment processing refusals and banking friction that generic providers aren't equipped to handle. Vellis provides payment processing and business banking directly - built for high transaction volumes, complex risk profiles and multi-jurisdiction operations.
No intermediaries. You work directly with Vellis.
A high-growth industry that mainstream financial providers consistently underserve.
Yet most payment processors still apply blanket restrictions to gaming operators.
Your payment infrastructure needs to scale with it.
An industry growing this fast deserves financial infrastructure that can keep up.
The Real Problem
Gaming operators sit in one of the most commercially active - and most financially misunderstood - sectors in the world. Here's what that costs you.
Your payment processor flags or terminates your account - without warning.
Gaming is one of the most scrutinised categories in payment processing. Whether you run an online platform, a gaming marketplace or a competitive esports operation, mainstream processors apply automated risk logic that treats your entire sector as high-risk by default. A spike in volume, a new game category, a chargeback - and your account is suspended. Payments stop. Revenue freezes. And you're left navigating a generic compliance queue with no gaming expertise.
High transaction volumes expose you to instability.
Gaming platforms process enormous volumes of small and medium transactions - in-game purchases, subscriptions, tournament entry fees, prize distributions. At that scale, any instability in your payment infrastructure isn't a minor inconvenience - it's a direct hit to player experience and revenue. Generic processors weren't built for the volume cadence of gaming operations.
Your players are global. Your payment setup isn't.
Gaming audiences are inherently international. Players in different markets expect to pay in their local currency, using their preferred local payment methods. Without the right infrastructure, you lose conversions at checkout, accumulate unnecessary FX costs, and fail to capture revenue from markets where you're already popular.
Multi-jurisdiction licensing and banking creates operational gridlock.
Regulatory frameworks for gaming vary significantly by jurisdiction. Each new market - whether it's the UK, Malta, Curaçao or beyond - brings its own licensing requirements, compliance expectations and banking needs. Starting the banking process from scratch in every new market slows your expansion and costs you revenue while you wait.
