Social Casinos & Sweepstakes
Social-casino and sweepstakes models sit in a narrow band between gaming and promotional law. Placement depends on a documented no-purchase-necessary flow, clear prize-redemption rails and a state-by-state legal review.
Underwriting & acquiring considerations
We start from your existing environment — volumes, approval performance, disputes, reserves, banking and partner mix — then design the acquiring, redundancy and risk architecture around it, with scaling considerations built in.

Engagement
Assess
Understand the merchant's current payment infrastructure, economics, risk profile, constraints and objectives.
Architect
Design an acquiring and payments strategy around resilience, performance, scalability and redundancy.

Optimize
Continuously evaluate approval rates, costs, reserves, chargebacks, routing and overall payment performance.
Banking appetite and underwriting requirements vary by business model. We evaluate each company individually and never guarantee approval. Basis Point is not a bank, acquiring bank, payment processor or card network.
