PayPunks publishes support for four verticals. High-risk here means the merchant category is routinely declined or heavily reserved by mainstream acquirers, not that the business is unlawful; the merchant remains responsible for holding the licences its own jurisdiction requires.
Gambling and betting (iGaming)
The primary vertical on the site. Published as covering both deposits and withdrawals: PayIn and PayOut in one integration, with instant payouts and no rolling reserve. Deposit conversion is the stated focus.
Adult and NSFW
Published as discrete billing for content creators, dating applications and streaming platforms. Descriptor and billing-statement handling is not detailed publicly.
EdTech and online courses
Published as global payments for webinars, online courses and educational platforms — the segment most often declined for high refund and chargeback ratios rather than for the content itself.
E-commerce
Published as classic acquiring for online retail, described as the low-risk end of the portfolio.
Digital assets
The landing page positions the gateway for high-risk industries and digital assets. Specific crypto rails, assets and settlement options are not published; request them directly.
