Gateway · multi-acquirer · Belfast, UK
One gateway routing across thirty-plus acquirers, with the most openly published card rates in this catalogue.
Thirty-plus acquirers behind one integration is real redundancy, and redundancy is what keeps a cashier alive when a single processor changes its risk appetite overnight. Decline cascading moves a failed transaction to the next route rather than showing the player an error, which is the difference between a retried deposit and a lost one.
It is also worth being clear about what that architecture means. CatalystPay routes to other people's acquiring rather than holding its own, so the company that underwrites you is one you have not signed with directly. That is not a flaw so much as the trade you make for breadth, but it does change who holds the final say over your account.
The pricing page is the most transparent in this catalogue: IC++ from 1% plus €0.30 on European and UK cards, 2% plus €0.30 on international. Read those as a floor rather than a quote, because they are published for low-risk ecommerce and gambling is not that. Bitcoin Lightning and SEPA Direct Debit sit alongside cards, PCI DSS Level 1 is held, and 150-plus currencies are supported from a Belfast base.
Commercial terms reach 9.8 on published rates, instant payouts and 150 currencies together — the clearest money picture here. iGaming fit is held to 5.6 because the company routes rather than underwrites, which is exactly what that criterion is designed to catch. Compliance at 5.0 reflects PCI Level 1 with no licence of its own published.
Five weighted criteria, 1–10. A criterion whose key field the provider does not publish is capped at 6.9 rather than scored on a guess. How we score →
Nothing of its own is published. For a company that routes to third-party acquirers that is ordinary — but your counterparty is somebody else, so ask who, in writing.
EEA, United Kingdom and international cards.
Cards, SEPA Direct Debit, Bitcoin Lightning and alternative methods.
PCI DSS Level 1.
A sensible first gateway for an operator who wants options without negotiating thirty contracts. Ask which acquirers sit behind the routing for your markets, and what happens if the one carrying your volume drops the vertical. Get the iGaming rate card — the published numbers are not it.
No licence of its own is published. It provides access to merchant accounts through more than thirty third-party acquirers and processors, with its own gateway and routing layer on top.
Published IC++ pricing starts at 1% + €0.30 for European and UK cards and 2% + €0.30 for international cards — but those rates are listed for low-risk ecommerce. Gambling terms are quoted separately.
Bitcoin Lightning payments, which the company positions as a way to cut card dependency and remove chargebacks entirely, alongside cards and SEPA Direct Debit.
