High-Risk Merchant Service for State Lotteries
In today’s fast-evolving digital payment landscape, state lotteries and lottery-related operations face a unique blend of opportunity and challenge. While demand for online lottery access continues to grow, regulatory oversight, payment processing restrictions, and elevated chargeback risks often prevent these operations from accessing reliable merchant services.
That’s where we come in.
At 100Services, we specialize in helping state lotteries, licensed vendors, and lottery platforms obtain secure, scalable, and fully compliant high-risk merchant accounts — and we do it completely free of charge.
🚨 Why Are State Lotteries Considered High-Risk?
Even though state lotteries are fully legal and often operated by or on behalf of the government, banks and payment processors still categorize them as high-risk. Why?
Here are the primary reasons:
1. High Transaction Volume and Payouts
- Lottery platforms often process thousands of transactions daily.
- Payouts, especially large jackpots, can trigger additional risk reviews by financial institutions.
2. Recurring Payments & Subscriptions
- Monthly or weekly ticket subscription models are prone to forgotten purchases, leading to customer disputes.
3. Elevated Chargeback Risk
- Players may dispute charges if they forget a subscription, don’t win, or misunderstand the terms.
4. Complex Regulatory Environment
- Compliance varies across federal, state, and sometimes international jurisdictions.
- Financial institutions are wary of potential non-compliance penalties.
5. Geographic Restrictions
- Cross-border or multi-state payments may raise flags if not handled through compliant infrastructure.
Due to these challenges, traditional merchant account providers often reject lottery-related businesses or impose extremely high fees and strict terms.
