Comparison: Trybit, NOWPayments and Plisio for crypto payments in iGaming

I compared three crypto payment gateways active in iGaming: Trybit, NOWPayments and Plisio in an article published on 1 November 2026. The comparison ranks fees, conversion to stablecoins, AML/KYT measures, integration options and the geographic restrictions that affect casino operators, bookmakers and gaming platforms.

Executive summary

Trybit applies a standard fee of 1.9% and can drop to 0.4% for high-volume projects; it automatically converts payments to USDT with no Trybit commission and charges no withdrawal fee (only the network fee). NOWPayments announces 0.5% for same-currency payments and 1% when conversion is required, supporting more than 350 cryptocurrencies and offering fiat options; Plisio charges a flat 0.5% on the Gateway API plan and 1.5% on White Label, but levies 0.5% on withdrawals.

Quick comparison table

• Processing: Trybit 1.9% standard; from 0.4% with confirmed billing. NOWPayments 0.5% without conversion; 1% with conversion. Plisio 0.5% Gateway API; 1.5% White Label.

• Conversion to USDT: Trybit auto-converts with no Trybit commission (the network fee of the exchange service is deducted). NOWPayments adds +0.5% per payment and 0.5% to convert funds in the balance. Plisio does not indicate auto-conversion.

• Payout fee: Trybit 0% (network fees only). NOWPayments 0% (network fees separate). Plisio 0.5% on withdrawals and bulk payments.

• AML/KYT: Trybit reviews each payment before crediting and rejects suspicious transactions. NOWPayments holds suspicious payments pending verification and uses SumSub for KYC in some cases. Plisio can freeze payments until KYC is completed if its risk system requests it.

• Non-redirect checkout (H2H): Trybit offers this natively via API; NOWPayments supports it in White Label or custom integrations; Plisio only in the White Label plan (1.5%).

• Volatility protection: Trybit auto-converts to stablecoins; NOWPayments offers Fixed Rate at a higher fee; Plisio does not list automatic protection.

• Geographic restrictions: Trybit does not impose restrictions for operators. NOWPayments prohibits operators in the US, Russia, Belarus, Hong Kong, Bolivia, Cuba, China, Turkey and others. Plisio does not list restrictions.

• Supported currencies: Trybit 40+ coin/network pairs; NOWPayments 350+ coins and 35+ stablecoins; Plisio 15–19 coins depending on network.

Trybit: stable acceptance and fund protection

Trybit presents itself as an international crypto gateway with more than five years in the market. It covers deposits, incoming funds protection, payout of winnings and affiliate payments with no territorial restrictions.

Key features:

• Deposits and withdrawals in 40+ crypto and network pairs; invoicing in 44 fiat currencies, including 19 Latin American currencies such as BRL, MXN and ARS. This allows showing the amount in a player’s local currency while receiving payment in crypto.

• Service availability of 99.9% and payment confirmation from 20 seconds.

• AML/KYT on each transaction before crediting; suspicious transactions are declined and do not reach the balance.

• High-conversion checkout: more than 20 languages, 1–2 click Web3 payments, customization and support chat in the checkout.

• Auto-conversion to USDT, USDC and other stablecoins on payment arrival, with no Trybit commission; the exchange service network fee is deducted from the amount.

• Tools for volume: bulk payments, API auto-withdrawals, per-player static wallets and ready CMS plugins.

Pricing and considerations:

The standard fee is 1.9%, with terms from 0.4% for projects that grow billing. There are no setup or monthly fees and no caps on invoices, withdrawals or conversions. Withdrawals have no service fee; only network fees apply. There is no fiat on-ramp or off-ramp; funds are withdrawn in crypto and conversion to fiat is done at an exchange.

NOWPayments: wide catalogue and fiat options

NOWPayments was created by the team behind the exchange ChangeNOW and has operated since 2019. It reports more than 150 iGaming partners and 30+ million monthly transactions.

Key features:

• Supports 350+ cryptocurrencies and 35+ stablecoins.

• Permanent addresses per player and fiat on-ramp in 20+ currencies; fiat withdrawals available via the Fiat Withdrawals API after KYC/KYB.

• Fixed Rate option to lock exchange rate at a higher fee; bulk payments via API.

Pricing and limitations:

The general base fee is 0.5% for same-currency payments and 1% if conversion occurs; the casino solution page shows an initial 1% deposit fee. Converting funds in the balance adds 0.5% and network fees apply. NOWPayments does not work with operators from the US, Russia, Belarus, China, Turkey, Hong Kong, Bangladesh and other sanctioned countries. If AML requires it, a payment is held for verification and the payer may need to provide documents and proof of source of funds.

Plisio: simple pricing for CMS integrations

Plisio has operated since 2019 and offers quick integration with popular CMS platforms and support for high-risk projects.

Key features:

• Supports 15–19 coins depending on network, including BTC, ETH, LTC and USDT.

• Ready integrations for WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart, WHMCS and a Telegram bot.

• Bulk payments that combine up to 1,000 transactions; White Label and billing pages in the 1.5% plan.

Pricing and limitations:

The fee is 0.5% on Gateway API and 1.5% on White Label. Withdrawals and bulk payouts will cost 0.5% plus network fees, so the full deposit→payout cycle runs around 1%. There is no auto-conversion or default fiat withdrawal; non-redirect checkout requires the White Label plan.

How to choose by operational criteria

Calculate the full-cycle cost: a base fee of 0.5% can reach 1% or more if there are conversion and withdrawal charges. Compare how each provider controls incoming funds: Trybit filters before crediting, NOWPayments holds suspicious payments for verification and Plisio can request KYC after its risk system activates. Check geographic restrictions and the availability of local-currency invoicing if your target market is Latin America.

Conclusion

Trybit fits operators who prioritise fund protection, automatic conversion to stablecoins and no geographic restrictions. NOWPayments suits operators who need the widest asset diversity and access to fiat on/off-ramps, although it implies multi-layer fees. Plisio eases quick CMS integrations and offers a simple base fee, but without auto-conversion or fiat withdrawals.
