A branded payment gateway for iGaming Pakistan that runs on the rails Pakistani players actually use. JazzCash and Easypaisa as the two-pillar mobile wallet layer, 1Link for direct bank-to-bank flows, all wrapped in a cashier under your own domain. We handle the infrastructure, the partners, and the 24/7 operations — your team focuses on the operator side of the business.
Two-part pricing: monthly hosting fee plus 0.1%–0.4% transaction share. No public rate card; quotes are tailored.
Pakistan is a mobile-money market with a limited number of dominant rails and an aggressively conservative banking layer. Operators serving Pakistani players who try to apply a generic Asia-wide cashier discover quickly that the player base will simply not use rails the player base does not recognize. The cashier either speaks JazzCash and Easypaisa fluently or it bleeds deposits.
JazzCash, operated by Mobilink Microfinance Bank, and Easypaisa, operated by Telenor Microfinance Bank, together carry the overwhelming majority of consumer mobile-money volume in Pakistan. Both run on top of mobile-network identity layers and integrate with retail agent networks for cash-in and cash-out. For an iGaming operator, that means a Pakistani player who tops up via a JazzCash agent at a corner shop expects to deposit into a casino with the same single-tap flow they use to pay a utility bill.
1Link sits at a different layer. It is the inter-bank switch that enables ATM, IBFT, and bank-rail integrations across most Pakistani banks. For higher-ticket deposits and withdrawals where mobile-wallet limits start to bite, 1Link rails carry the volume. A complete Pakistani cashier offers JazzCash and Easypaisa as the visible default and 1Link as the bank-rail option for VIP and higher-ticket cohorts.
The macro layer is where most operators stumble. Pakistan's State Bank (SBP) maintains tight oversight of foreign exchange, payment institutions, and merchant categorization. Finding a banking partner in Pakistan willing to underwrite gaming-classified inbound volume is materially harder than in India or the Philippines. The practical answer is a routing topology that uses domestic rails for player-facing flows and offshore settlement structures for the operator's float — without making the player aware of any of it.
Regulatory note. Online gambling regulations in Pakistan are restrictive, and the SBP's posture toward gaming-classified merchants is conservative. We work with operators who hold appropriate licenses or operate from offshore jurisdictions in line with their counsel's guidance. We provide payment infrastructure; clients are responsible for their own regulatory compliance.
The four failure modes below are the ones we hear most often from operators arriving on our platform after a bad experience with an international processor.
Pakistan's mobile wallets are domestic networks with their own onboarding, partnership, and integration overhead. International processors that look impressive on the global level rarely have a working JazzCash or Easypaisa integration, and the few that do treat them as fringe methods rather than the default. A cashier that lists "Mobile wallet" as a generic option will lose the deposit to the next operator whose checkout names "JazzCash" and "Easypaisa" explicitly. We integrate both as named first-class methods.
An offshore-domiciled operator routing Pakistani deposits through an international gateway often pays for two FX conversions on every deposit-and-withdrawal cycle. PKR to USD on the way in, USD to PKR on the way out, plus the spread on each leg. Multiply that by monthly volume and the FX cost frequently exceeds the gateway's headline transaction fee. Settling in PKR within the local rail layer wherever possible removes one full conversion and meaningfully improves unit economics.
Pakistani banks face strict SBP requirements around customer due diligence, settlement reporting, and merchant categorization. Banks willing to underwrite a gaming-classified merchant — even one operating offshore with appropriate licensing — are rare and the relationships take time to build. An operator without our partnership coverage spends quarters trying to find a willing acquirer. We arrive with the relationships already in place.
A deposit flow that hops from Karachi through Singapore through London and back hurts the cashier in two ways: the player waits longer for a confirmation, and every additional hop is one more place a callback can drop. Pakistani players have grown accustomed to the near-instant feedback they get from JazzCash and Easypaisa app-to-app flows. A casino cashier that takes ten seconds to confirm a deposit while the JazzCash app already says "Sent" feels broken, even when nothing is actually wrong. Domestic rails kept domestic remove the round-trip latency entirely.
A Pakistani cashier does not need ten payment options. It needs three, in the right order, with the right reliability behind each one.
Pakistan's largest mobile wallet by user base, with deep agent-network coverage. Default deposit method for most Pakistani iGaming players. JazzCash for online gaming →
The other half of the mobile-wallet duopoly, with a strong urban-and-rural footprint. Treated as a named first-class method, not bundled into a generic wallet checkbox.
Inter-bank switch enabling IBFT and ATM-rail flows across major Pakistani banks. Used for higher-ticket deposits and withdrawals beyond mobile-wallet limits.
Direct bank-to-bank transfer rail riding 1Link. Useful for VIP deposit cohorts and operator-side merchant settlement.
Visa and Mastercard are configured where issuing-bank approval rates make it worth offering. We do not pretend cards drive Pakistani deposit volume, because they do not.
Withdrawals back to JazzCash and Easypaisa wallets or via 1Link IBFT to bank account. Time-to-payout treated as a primary metric.
The deployment shape is the same as any other tenant on our infrastructure. The difference is the partner stack underneath, which is built specifically to make a Pakistani cashier behave the way Pakistani players expect.
Player-facing deposit and withdrawal flows on JazzCash, Easypaisa, and 1Link stay inside the Pakistani rail layer. The cashier confirms within the same window the wallet app does, because the round-trip never leaves the country. Latency stops being a UX problem because the architecture stops creating it.
For operators settling outside Pakistan, the model handles the conversion and reporting layer cleanly. The player pays in PKR; the operator's float lives wherever the operator's structure dictates. The reconciliation layer keeps PKR rail data and operator settlement currency on the same row, so finance teams stop chasing the FX delta manually.
Finding a Pakistani banking partner willing to underwrite gaming-classified volume is one of the single hardest parts of standing up a Pakistani cashier from scratch. Operators on our platform inherit the partner relationships rather than building them. The conversation moves from "can we get an acquirer at all" to "which acquirer is the right fit for this volume profile."
If you run a sportsbook into Pakistan, the sports betting payment gateway notes cover peak-event volume planning. Casino operators can read the casino payment gateway page for vertical-specific details. Our broader operator-focused solution describes the integration model end-to-end.
Pakistani-market operators frequently also touch India and Bangladesh. Each is its own deployment with its own rails — there is no shared cashier configuration that works across all three.

Two-part pricing: monthly hosting fee plus a 0.1%–0.4% transaction share that varies by volume, method mix, and the underlying acquiring partner cost. Pakistani-market deployments have their own economics because mobile-wallet acquiring runs at different cost levels than card or UPI acquiring elsewhere. Quotes reflect the rail mix you actually run.
