Request Network Enhances Crypto Payments for iGaming Sector

Request Network, a leading Web3 payment protocol, has unveiled significant updates to its platform. The new features are specifically designed to cater to the needs of the iGaming sector, which was one of the first to adopt cryptocurrency payments at scale.

However, traditional crypto processors have limited reach and often come with counterparty risks due to custody issues. Request Network's updated protocol seeks to break this pattern by providing a decentralized, permissionless, and cross-chain solution.

The key innovation lies in its ability to allow operators to own only one wallet and collect funds globally through a single integration. This means players can pay with whatever they own, while the operator receives what they want on their preferred chain.

With Request Network's updated protocol, operators can now reach 95% of the global stablecoin supply and active users across seven chains (Ethereum, BNB, Tron, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism). This increased accessibility is expected to simplify the payment process for players.

The new features also include a one-click secure deposit experience for players. Request Network provides a decentralized secure payment page where users can choose their preferred chain and token in a single gasless transaction. Bridging and swapping are handled behind the scenes, reducing friction and drop-offs.

Furthermore, wallet screening on deposits is now available to protect recipients from asset freezing and wallet blacklisting. This ensures operators can confidently accept funds without worrying about risks associated with accepting cryptocurrency payments.
