IGAMING PAYMENTS FAQ
Good questions.
Straight answers.
How do players deposit?
Your cashier shows a payment request as a QR code or link. The player pays it from an app they already use, such as Cash App, Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, or Strike, or from any Lightning wallet. Your backend receives a confirmation a few seconds later and credits the balance.
How fast are withdrawals?
Seconds. In September 2026 the median live payout on Amboss settled 2.8 seconds after it was requested, and nine in ten settled in under 12 seconds. That holds on weekends, holidays, and at 3am, because Lightning payments do not wait for banking hours.
Can a player charge back a deposit?
No. Completed Lightning payments are final: there is no card network to open a dispute through, so there is no friendly-fraud chargeback and no dispute fee. Refunds are separate payments that you send according to your own policy.
Do players need to understand crypto?
No. Players scan a QR code or tap a link in an app they already have, much like any other in-app payment. There is no new wallet to install and no seed phrase to manage.
Which currencies can we settle in?
Bitcoin and stablecoins such as USDT, over Lightning. Your receiving wallet determines the settlement asset, so you can hold dollars on your books while players pay from the apps they prefer.
Who holds player funds?
You do. Payments settle to your own wallet. Amboss provides the payment technology and never holds, receives, or proxies your funds.
Do we need to post a rolling reserve?
Not with Amboss. Because payments are final and settle directly to your wallet, there is nothing for a processor to hold back against future chargebacks.
How much integration work is it?
Two calls cover the cashier: one creates a deposit request, the other sends a withdrawal. The TypeScript SDK and API handle both, webhooks tell your backend when a payment settles, and a sandbox lets you test successful, failed, and expired payments before you go live.
Can we pay affiliates and streamers too?
Yes. The same send call pays anyone with a Lightning Address or invoice, anywhere in the world, so you can settle revenue share daily instead of waiting on monthly wires.
What does it cost?
Pricing is tailored to your payment volume and business requirements. Talk to our team for a commercial proposal. Network routing fees are typically a fraction of a cent per payment.
