Description
The dataset lists the payment aggregators that provide services for the gambling industry with some providing services in other high-risk areas.
The information presented here does not claim the absolute completeness of data and is intermediate in the planned research cycle.
Goals and Objectives
- To form a list of payment aggregators providing services for high-risk business;
- To classify aggregators by their link to the gambling industry and the number of payment options;
- To evaluate traffic on payment aggregator websites;
- To determine the payment aggregators' region of operation;
- To perform a comparative analysis with a similar dataset of 2020.
Research Methodology
The official website research was carried out using open sources and the following search methods:
- Google search;
- Own dataset of payment aggregators for gambling of 2020.
For ease of comparison, the information gathered is grouped by the following criteria:
- Traffic — the flow of website visitors in April 2022. The traffic for the various payment aggregator websites was evaluated using SimilarWeb service metrics;
- Type — determined by the source of information linking the company to the gambling industry;
- Payment Options — the number of declared payment systems used by the Payment Gateway;
- Countries of Operation — fan approximate number of regions covered by a particular company;
- Regions of Operation — regions in which the company operates;
- Regions of Operation 2020 — regions in which the company operated back in 2020;
- Working in Gambling 2020 — confirmed use of company services on gambling websites in 2020;
- Was in the 2020 Dataset — whether the company was present in the 2020 Dataset.
