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).
Just passing by — interesting topic. From where I stand, payment options always catch my eye when I try a new site: if depositing is quick and I can withdraw winnings without waiting a week, I’m more likely to stick around, but I don’t dig into the tech behind it. Also I’ve seen folks in other threads worry about privacy when connecting bank stuff — for many people it’s about trust, not just speed. No link from me, just a neutral thumbs-up for anything that makes the user experience less clunky.
