Payments for lottery products
Online lotteries, lottery messengers, sweepstakes casinos, prize competitions and raffle platforms combine many low-value ticket purchases with occasional large payouts to winners. Card schemes treat most of them as gambling (usually MCC 7995; in the US, government-owned lotteries use MCC 7800), so processing depends heavily on licensing and the legal status in each country.
Typical needs in this hub
- Micropayment-friendly pricing — fixed fees can outweigh the ticket price.
- Wallet top-ups so that players buy many tickets from one deposit.
- Winner payouts to cards, bank accounts and e-wallets (payouts).
- Local methods where cards are rare — mobile money in Africa, UPI in India, PIX in Brazil.
- Geolocation and age checks to keep traffic in permitted jurisdictions (KYC).
Questions for a lottery PSP
- Which licences and legal structures does it accept (state lottery reseller, gaming licence, sweepstakes model)? See gaming licensing.
- Is it processing under a gambling MCC with the issuers' consent, or under a miscoded one (a red flag)?
- What reserve, settlement frequency and payout limits apply?
- Does it support recurring ticket subscriptions?
