Requirements

  • Card acquiring for a UK merchant
  • Willing to board a high-risk startup with no history
  • Target MCC 5818, digital goods

What we offer

  • No gambling: virtual items and game accounts only

A UK marketplace for digital gaming goods is looking for gaming marketplace acquiring from a provider willing to work with startups. It plans to sell virtual items and game accounts, and the founder explicitly rules out gambling.

What is needed - card acquiring for a UK merchant; - payment acceptance for a digital-goods marketplace; - appetite for a high-risk project at launch stage.

The founder is aiming for MCC 5818 (digital goods). That is the requested classification; the acquirer makes the final call.

Project status The marketplace is pre-revenue with no processing history. It holds ICO registration (the UK data regulator), which is not a payments authorisation. An acquirer would want to see: - proof that sellers have the right to resell items and accounts; - a policy for games whose terms ban account sales; - the funds flow between buyers and sellers, which decides whether a regulated model is needed.

Geography The merchant is in the United Kingdom; buyer countries are not named. A good fit is a provider that already boards digital-goods marketplaces and can handle seller settlements.

The request was published in July 2026.
