Pay.io launches crypto payment gateway for B2B iGaming operators

Pay.io has launched a crypto payment gateway built specifically for B2B iGaming operators, with distribution through HubMarket, Hub88’s product ecosystem. The pitch is straightforward: reduce the admin burden around blockchain payments without forcing operators to stitch together a stack of separate tools.

1. Pay.io positions itself as a single way to manage crypto payment flows for iGaming operators, with the stated goal of simplifying what the company calls historic blockchain complexity. That matters for PSPs and operators because payment ops in iGaming tend to break down not on the headline “can we accept crypto?” question, but on the messy middle: wallet handling, approvals, reconciliation, and front-end delivery.
2. The platform is split into three products. Payment Gateway acts as a smart instructional layer that translates business needs into secure commands. Merchant Console lets operators control cryptocurrency wallets, review and approve user transactions, and monitor merchant expenditure. Cashier UI is a pre-built payment interface that embeds into operator websites or apps through a simple iFrame.
3. Pay.io says the setup is designed to give operators full autonomy while removing operational inefficiencies. In practice, that means non-custodial crypto handling, support for multi-chain and multi-wallet payments, and a transaction history log that players can see in one place.
4. The company is also available via HubMarket, Hub88’s product ecosystem, which provides specialised tools, analytics and operational services to iGaming operators worldwide for Hub88 clients. For operators already in that ecosystem, this is less a standalone integration story than a distribution channel decision.
5. “Payments have always been one of the most complicated parts of running an iGaming operation,” said Luis Campos Yafar, Product Manager at Pay.io. He added that crypto payments have not kept up with the pace of the industry, and said the Merchant Console and Cashier UI are meant to handle the complexity of multi-chain, multi-wallet payments while giving the player “everything they need in one place.”
