Daily Fantasy Sports Payment Processing

Daily Fantasy Sports occupies a unique position in the gaming landscape—legally distinct from sports betting in most jurisdictions, yet requiring sophisticated payment processing that understands contest-based gaming dynamics.

Unison Payment Solutions provides payment processing tailored for DFS platforms. We understand the entry fee model, prize payout requirements, and regulatory framework that distinguish daily fantasy from other gaming verticals.

Contest entry processing must handle volume spikes around major sporting events. NFL Sundays, NBA nights, and MLB slates create concentrated entry periods. Our infrastructure scales to handle peak contest entry volumes without degradation.

Prize payout processing is critical for DFS player experience. Contest winners expect prompt payment. Our systems process payouts efficiently while maintaining tax reporting requirements (1099 for qualifying amounts) and verification procedures.

Deposit velocity matches player expectations. DFS players need funds available to enter contests before lineup locks. Instant deposits via cards and digital wallets keep players engaged and entering contests.

Multi-state compliance accommodates DFS operators in varied regulatory environments. Some states regulate DFS like gaming; others don't regulate at all. Our platform supports compliant operation across your licensed footprint.

Player verification integrates with DFS requirements including age, identity, and location verification. Ensure eligible players while maintaining smooth entry experiences.
