According to the CFPB, the newly covered entities collectively process over 13 billion consumer payments each year. The agency aims to reduce fraud, strengthen privacy protections, and ensure error resolution rights for consumers using digital payment apps and wallets. This includes many of the tools players use to fund or withdraw from regulated casino platforms.

“The overlap between digital wallets and gaming is no longer marginal,” the spokesperson added. “The largest apps are central to how players transact, especially at low-deposit casinos. This rule makes it essential for operators to vet payment partners not just for speed, but for their ability to meet bank-grade regulatory standards.”

The commentary also highlights a broader industry shift toward Account-to-Account (A2A) payments powered by open banking infrastructure. A2A transactions, which enable direct transfers between a player’s bank and casino account, are projected to grow significantly worldwide over the next two years.

“This is more than a policy shift—it’s a signal to future-proof payment strategies,” MDC stated. “Operators who prioritize secure, auditable payment flows now will be better positioned to compete as the compliance bar rises.”
