Bitcoin Gaming Payments
Instant Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals for gaming platforms. Lightning-speed payments, self-custodial architecture, and stablecoin support with no custody liability or infrastructure overhead.
Gaming payment rails weren't built for global scale
Slow deposits kill engagement: players wait minutes or hours for funds to clear before they can play. High withdrawal fees erode winnings and frustrate users. Custody liability exposes gaming platforms to regulatory risk and security threats. Chargebacks drain revenue and complicate accounting. Fiat payment processors restrict gambling and esports companies, blocking entire categories of gaming businesses. Traditional rails force you to choose between speed, cost, compliance, and global reach. Most platforms can't have all four.
What we do
Bitcoin payments built for gaming velocity
Instant deposits and withdrawals
Players fund accounts and cash out in seconds, not hours. Lightning Network payments settle instantly with no block confirmation delays. No waiting rooms, no pending balances: funds move at the speed of gameplay.
Microtransactions that actually work
Lightning enables sub-cent transaction fees, making small bets, item purchases, and in-game rewards economically viable. Process thousands of payments per second without infrastructure scaling costs.
Self-custodial: no custody risk
Every player holds their own keys. No custodial liability on your balance sheet, no regulatory burden from holding user funds, no security risk from honeypot wallets. You run the game, not a bank.
Stablecoins for USD-denominated play
Offer USDT and USDB alongside Bitcoin: players choose between volatile and stable assets without leaving your platform. Native stablecoins on Spark settle instantly with no bridges or wrapped tokens.
Why Spark
Payments that move at the speed of play
Players deposit instantly via Lightning or on-chain
Spark supports both Lightning payments (instant, near-zero fees) and on-chain Bitcoin deposits with 0-conf (credited immediately). Players choose the rail that fits their workflow. No 10-minute confirmation screens.
Funds settle in under a second
Every transaction on Spark finalizes in sub-second time. Players see balances update in real time. Withdrawals hit their wallets before they leave the screen. No batching delays, no pending queues.
Self-custodial by default: no hot wallets to secure
Traditional gaming platforms hold player funds in custodial wallets, creating security and compliance overhead. Spark abstracts custody to the protocol layer: players control their keys, you control your product.
Microtransactions scale without infrastructure
Lightning routing on Spark handles millions of transactions per day with no node management, no channel liquidity, no infrastructure to maintain. You call an API, payments work.
No chargebacks: Bitcoin payments are final
Bitcoin transactions are irreversible by design. No chargeback fraud, no payment disputes, no administrative overhead from reversed transactions. Final settlement means predictable revenue.

FAQ
Lightning payments settle in under a second. On-chain Bitcoin deposits credit instantly with Spark's 0-conf feature. Withdrawals hit player wallets immediately, no batching delays.
Transfers within Spark are fee-free. Lightning payments have sub-cent routing fees. On-chain deposits and withdrawals incur standard Bitcoin network fees (typically $0.10-$2 depending on network congestion).
No. Spark is self-custodial by default: every player controls their own keys. You never hold funds on your balance sheet, eliminating custody liability and regulatory risk.
Yes. Spark supports USDT (Tether) and USDB natively. Players can deposit, withdraw, and play with stablecoins instead of Bitcoin, all using the same instant settlement rails.
Because Spark is self-custodial, you're not a money transmitter: players hold their own funds. Compliance requirements depend on your jurisdiction and business model, but eliminating custody reduces regulatory surface area.
