Your Bank Wasn't Built For Your Business. Vellis Is.
Gambling operators face payment processing refusals, account terminations and banking friction that generic providers aren't equipped to handle. Vellis provides payment processing and business banking directly - built for licensed gambling operations, high transaction volumes and multi-jurisdiction compliance.
No intermediaries. You work directly with Vellis.
A heavily regulated, high-growth sector that mainstream financial infrastructure consistently fails to serve.
Yet most payment processors apply blanket restrictions to licensed gambling operators without reviewing their compliance profile.
Your payment infrastructure needs to scale with your operation.
A sector this regulated and this large deserves financial infrastructure built for it.
The Real Problem
Licensed gambling operators are among the most regulated businesses in the world - and among the most poorly served by mainstream payment and banking providers. Here's what that costs you.
Your payment processor terminates your account - regardless of your licence.
Gambling is one of the most heavily restricted categories in payment processing. Licensed operators holding valid regulatory approvals are routinely terminated by mainstream processors whose risk systems can't distinguish between a regulated, compliant gambling business and an unlicensed operation. Your licence doesn't protect you from algorithm-based account terminations. Your revenue stops. Your players can't deposit. And you're left with no processing infrastructure - overnight.
Player deposits and withdrawals require infrastructure that understands your business.
The payment flows of a gambling platform are more complex than standard retail. Player deposits, withdrawal requests, bonus processing, affiliate payouts - these require payment infrastructure that was designed for gambling operations, not adapted from e-commerce frameworks. Generic providers create friction at every step of the player payment journey.
Your players are global. Your payment setup needs to match.
Online gambling audiences span multiple countries, currencies and preferred payment methods. Without the right infrastructure, you lose players at the deposit stage, accumulate unnecessary FX costs on international withdrawals, and fail to support the local payment methods that drive conversion in key markets.
Multi-jurisdiction licensing creates compounding banking complexity.
Operating under multiple licences - UK Gambling Commission, MGA, Curaçao, Gibraltar and others - means navigating different compliance requirements, different banking expectations and different payment frameworks in each jurisdiction. Starting from scratch in every new market slows your expansion and creates operational risk.

FAQ
Gambling Businesses
Vellis is a direct provider - not a broker, not a referral service. We provide payment processing and business banking directly to your business. No intermediaries, no black boxes. You always know who owns your setup, who to contact, and how your payments and accounts are structured.
Yes - it's the most common situation we encounter in this sector. Licensed operators are routinely terminated by processors who apply blanket restrictions without reviewing the compliance profile. A previous termination doesn't disqualify you. The only exception is if your business has been placed on a MATCH list.

Yes. From a newly licensed operator to an established multi-jurisdiction gambling group, the solution we build is always tailored to your structure, licence profile and volumes.
Mainstream processors apply blanket restrictions to gambling regardless of licence status - their systems can't assess regulatory compliance, so they block the entire category. Vellis processes payments through infrastructure built for licensed gambling operations. Your compliance profile is assessed properly from the start. The only case where it would be difficult for us to help is if your business has been placed on a MATCH list.
Yes. Vellis supports multi-currency processing so players transact in their local currency. Exchange rates reflect live market conditions - no hidden margins or opaque conversion fees added on top.[ TO VALIDATE ] Confirm that high-value B2B transaction limits are discussed during onboarding and that no blanket caps apply.
Yes. Vellis infrastructure is built for high-volume, high-frequency operations. Player transaction spikes - during major sporting events, tournament periods or promotional campaigns - are accounted for in your setup.
When a chargeback occurs, you have a direct point of contact at Vellis - not a generic support queue. We review the case with you, help gather the relevant documentation, and manage the process on your behalf.
Unfortunately, yes. Traditional banks apply generic risk criteria that weren't designed for regulated gambling revenue models. Player deposit flows, withdrawal processing and gambling-related descriptors can all trigger unnecessary reviews - regardless of your licence status. Vellis accounts are managed by people who understand licensed gambling operations - your profile is expected and understood.
Yes. Multi-entity and multi-jurisdiction banking is core to what Vellis does. Rather than establishing separate banking relationships in each jurisdiction, Vellis structures your accounts from a single point of contact - as long as those countries are not OFAC listed.
A standard account is built for a generic business profile. A Vellis account is structured around yours - your licence structure, player transaction flows, entity setup and markets. In practice: fewer unexpected reviews, faster resolution, and direct access to Vellis rather than a generic customer service system.
A real conversation - not a sales pitch. Format and timing are flexible: call, video or email, based on your preference. A Vellis specialist will ask about your licence structure, player base, transaction volumes, markets and current payment and banking setup. From there, you get a clear picture of what we'd recommend and what the process looks like. No pressure, no jargon, no commitment required.
For most businesses, the process is done within a couple of weeks. After your consultation, we give you a clear timeline based on your specific structure and jurisdiction - with no surprises mid-application.
Standard business documentation, plus your gambling licences and any regulatory certifications relevant to your jurisdictions. Vellis gives you a complete, tailored document list upfront so there are no unexpected requests mid-process.
