Challenge
A fast-growing poker, skill-based tournament operator with fixed prizes approached Paysecure with their plans for market expansion into the highly regulated UAE market. Even with correct licensing and a supporting legal opinion, the operator faced challenges in setting up a compliant and efficient payment infrastructure. Many traditional providers either could not service their niche business model or charged excessively high fees, limiting scalability and flexibility.
The operator needed a robust platform to support their full suite of services while navigating market complexity and ensuring reliable, cost-effective payment flows.
