There are many compelling reasons to choose Karma Card Payments to process payments for your sports betting business. Here are the key benefits our sports betting payment solutions offer.

Fraud prevention is built into every solution we offer. Sophisticated detection flags suspicious transactions before they process - essential protection given the elevated fraud risk in the sports betting space.

Answers to the questions sports betting businesses ask us most about accepting payments, fees and getting approved.
We provide omnichannel payment solutions designed for sports betting businesses:
Online: A secure payment gateway lets you accept credit card and ACH payments from customers - including one-time transactions, subscription billing and recurring payments.
Retail: For in-person sales we provide POS software and card readers for operations of all sizes.
Over the phone: Virtual terminals make it simple to accept payments over the phone with added convenience and security.
Processing fees typically range from 1.5% to 3.5%, depending on card brand, transaction type and your industry. Because sports betting is classified as high-risk, rates can run higher than average.
Our mission is to offer affordable, transparent processing tailored to sports betting businesses, helping you avoid excessive fees while staying compliant with Visa and Mastercard requirements.
To help expedite approval, please gather the following before applying:
Your website should use HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and include your legal business name, contact details, a Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions and a Refund Policy.
Sports betting is high-risk because of gambling regulation, rapid deposit and payout flows, fraud exposure and high transaction velocity. That classification is exactly why a specialized processor matters - we underwrite sports betting businesses every day and build in the protections needed to keep your account stable.
Most sports betting merchant accounts are approved within 24-48 hours once we have your completed application and supporting documents. Having your paperwork and a compliant website ready ahead of time is the fastest way to get up and running.
