How open banking is blowing up iGaming — practical takeaways and small stories
Quick question — I read a short summary about open banking and iGaming and it got me thinking: last week I tried topping up on a smaller betting site and they offered an “instant bank” option; the money showed up in seconds and I didn’t have to enter card numbers or wait ages for verification, which felt way less stressful than my usual experience. Has anyone else noticed real speed and fewer headaches with these bank-to-bank flows, and do operators really save on fees when they move away from cards? Curious about both the player side (speed, trust) and the operator side (costs, fraud checks).
Hey — been following this trend and found the original write-up at https://flixpress.com/how-open-banking-is-blowing-up-igaming/ which explains instant A2A payments, lower fees and better KYC. I’ve used open-banking pay-ins on a few operator sites: deposits were instant, verification smoother and refunds faster. For anyone testing it, check that your provider supports payouts and affordability checks before switching — it saved our churn numbers and headaches. Worth a look for ops wanting cleaner payments flow.
