Minibet Case Study for Crypto Casino Payments

Get Started

Minibet is an online crypto casino serving players across multiple regions with slots, live casino, and sportsbook products. Deposits and withdrawals run natively in Bitcoin and stablecoins, without the currency conversion delays that come with card and bank rails.

What sets Minibet's payment setup apart from a typical casino integration is its scope. Player withdrawals, affiliate commissions, game provider invoices, and manual compensation payouts all needed to run through the same payment relationship rather than five separate ones.

The challenge

Five payment systems, one business

Before LightningPay, Minibet's payment operation was split across multiple systems, each covering one piece of the business with little visibility into the others.

Withdrawals lagging behind expectations

Player withdrawals moved slower than players expected, adding to the payout delays that push players toward faster competitors.

Affiliate payments stuck on bank rails

Commission, CPA, and influencer payouts are settled through transfers that take days to clear, out of step with a partner base that operates in crypto.

Vendor invoices on separate banking rails

Game studios and aggregators were paid through separate banking relationships, varies in regions, each with its own delays and fees.

No clean path for goodwill payouts

Manual compensation payments for player goodwill had no dedicated process, often requiring a workaround.

Reporting split across systems

None of these payment flows shared reporting, so the finance team pieced together the status by hand.

The solution

One platform for every payment flow

Minibet integrated LightningPay across every payment flow in the business, from player deposits and withdrawals through to affiliate, vendor, and compensation payments, all on the same API and account infrastructure.

Player payments

Rewards & incentives

Affiliates & partners

Suppliers & vendors

Automation & webhooks

Player money flow

B2C

Player deposits

Funds move from a player's crypto wallet directly into Minibet's casino wallet, confirmed over Lightning or on-chain Bitcoin rails.

Multi-currency deposits

Native support for BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, and other major assets from a single integration.

Player withdrawals

Casino wallet to player wallet, settled in under 2 seconds, with automated payout triggers instead of manual approval queues.

Deposit address management

A unique wallet address is generated for each player, feeding straight into reconciliation without manual matching.

Player rewards and incentives

Manual compensation payments, the goodwill payouts Minibet issues after a service incident, run through the same dashboard as every other payment type. A support agent can trigger a payout directly, without opening a separate banking relationship to cover the occasional courtesy payment.

Affiliate and partner payments

B2B

Affiliate commission payments

Weekly and monthly commission runs pay out directly to affiliate wallets on schedule.

CPA payments

Cost-per-acquisition settlements move on the same rails as player withdrawals, with no separate banking step.

Influencer & streamer payments

Native support for BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, and other major assets from a single integration.

Marketing agency payments

Advertising invoices settle in Bitcoin or stablecoin instead of waiting on a wire transfer.

Revenue share payments

Ongoing partner settlements run on a recurring schedule, with each partner's terms configured once.

Business automation

Every flow above runs through LightningPay's REST API, so Minibet's platform triggers payments directly instead of routing them through a separate finance tool. Webhooks push real-time status updates for each payment into Minibet's internal systems, so the team knows a payout has cleared without checking a dashboard.

Integration

How they did it

Launch Bitcoin and stablecoin payment experiences with infrastructure designed for gaming operators.

STEP 1

Connect the API

Minibet's engineering team connected LightningPay's Payments and Payout APIs to the casino's cashier for player deposits and withdrawals.

STEP 2

Configure accounts

Affiliate and vendor accounts were added to the same integration, each with its own fee and payout terms set once.

STEP 3

Go live

Webhooks handle every status update, and the full rollout went live within LightningPay's standard 24- to 48-hour KYB window.

Key takeaways

What this means for other operators

One integration beats five

Player, affiliate, and vendor payments can run on the same infrastructure instead of separate processor relationships.

Automation scales without adding headcount.

API and webhook-driven payments handle growth in partners and vendors without a bigger finance team.

Compliance has to cover the whole business.

AML and fraud monitoring built only for player transactions leaves affiliate and vendor payments exposed.

Minibet now runs its entire payment operation, player-facing and back-office alike, through a single infrastructure layer. That is the difference between managing five vendor relationships and managing one.
