Request Network adds wallet screening and one-click crypto deposits for iGaming

On 1 June, Request Network said it is rolling out new features for iGaming operators that want crypto deposits without the usual chain-by-chain headache. The pitch is straightforward: one integration, one wallet, and built-in wallet screening before funds move — which matters if you are trying to accept crypto without inheriting avoidable custody and blacklisting risk.

1. Request Network says operators can now reach 95% of the global stablecoin supply and active users through a single integration across seven chains: Ethereum, BNB, Tron, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism. The protocol is positioned as a cross-chain layer, so the operator does not need to manage separate wallets on every chain just to accept deposits.
2. The company says players can pay with whatever token they hold, while the operator receives funds on the chain it chooses. In practice, that means bridging and swapping happen behind the scenes on a decentralised secure payment page, and the deposit itself is a single gasless transaction from the player’s side.
3. Request Network also says the payment page includes security features designed to protect payers from malicious smart contracts. For iGaming, that is not a cosmetic detail: deposit flows that force players to bridge, swap and handle gas before paying tend to create drop-off, especially when the process starts looking like a wallet tutorial.
4. The other headline feature is wallet screening on deposits. Request Network says the recipient can screen the sending wallet before funds move, and that the protocol connects natively with Hypernative, which provides market-standard policies to identify risk. That is meant to reduce exposure to asset freezing and wallet blacklisting, instead of discovering the problem only after the funds have already landed.
5. Request Network describes itself as a major Web3 payment protocol active since 2017, and it frames this release as a fix for a familiar iGaming pattern: operators relying on multiple crypto processors with limited reach, friction on flows, and counterparty risk because someone else is holding the funds. The new setup is aimed at replacing that with direct collection through one integration.
