If you serve iGaming merchants across Latin America, you already know there's no single rulebook. Each market has its own regulator, its own licensing model, and its own view on which payment methods players can use. Some ban online betting outright. Some regulate it but restrict payment methods. Others are still writing the rules.
For a PSP, that makes every new payment method a market-by-market decision. The harder question is how you enforce that decision at the moment of payment.
No single rulebook for iGaming payments in Latin America
Rules on gambling payments can change quickly, and they differ between neighbouring countries. A payment method that's permitted for a licensed merchant in one market can be off-limits in the next.
That leaves PSPs with two jobs: deciding where a payment method is allowed, and making sure it's only available there.
Enforce the policy at the moment of payment
WalletConnect Pay lets you set the policy once and apply it to every payment. Restricted-region IP checks and OFAC sanctions screening run before a payment clears. You decide which regions are allowed, the outcome follows your configuration, and the result comes back to your systems.
What a per-market stablecoin policy looks like
In practice, a per-market policy lets you:
- Offer stablecoin payments to a merchant in a market where its licence allows them.
- Keep the same payment method switched off for players connecting from markets where it doesn't.
- Show your banking partners and regulators a consistent, auditable control instead of a manual process.
One integration across markets
Because WalletConnect Pay is a single APM-style integration, you aren't rebuilding anything for each market. Coverage is broad, with 700+ wallets across all major blockchains. Settlement is instant in stablecoin, and every transaction comes with clear payment data for reconciliation.
Built on proven infrastructure
WalletConnect has been building since 2018. The network powered $400B+ in transaction volume in 2025, and WalletConnect is SOC 2 Type II, independently audited on a recurring basis.
Can a PSP offer stablecoin payments in some LATAM markets and not others?
Yes. Restricted-region IP checks run before each payment clears, on the policy you configure, so the payment method is only available where you allow it.
Does WalletConnect Pay decide which markets are allowed?
No. You configure the policy. Which markets to allow is a decision for you and your merchants, based on their licences and your own legal advice.
Do I need a separate integration for each market?
No. It's one APM-style integration, and the policy controls availability by market.
What happens when the rules in a market change?
You update your policy, and the change applies to every payment from then on, with no rebuild.
The bottom line
The rules for LATAM iGaming payments will keep moving. Your control over where stablecoin payments are available should be the part that doesn't.
