Plaee - Enabling Reliable Crypto Payouts
for an iGaming Operator

Updated on 14, September 2025

Challenge

Plaee wanted to expand its player payment options by supporting crypto payouts and deposits-but without giving up self-custody of funds or relying on third-party processors. The company also needed a cost-efficient, scalable way to handle high transaction volumes while maintaining compliance, auditability, and player-level transparency. Their goal was to launch crypto payouts fast, with minimal developer effort and no compromise on speed or security.

“Our priority was control. We didn’t want another intermediary holding our funds or dictating how payouts work. We needed a solution that scaled like a PSP but kept the keys-and the costs-in our hands.”

 - Daniel R., COO at Plaee

Solution

Plaee integrated Inabit Terminal to automate and secure its entire on-chain payout and deposit lifecycle while keeping full custody of keys and funds. The same infrastructure powers crypto deposits, crypto-to-crypto swaps, and crypto-to-fiat settlements, allowing Plaee to manage both inflows and outflows within one unified environment.

The implementation was completed in record time, guided by Inabit’s clear documentation and hands-on technical support.

“Inabit gave us the speed of a payment processor with the transparency and security of self-custody. The integration was straightforward, and their team supported us every step of the way-from sandbox to production.”

 - Daniel R., COO at Plaee

Key highlights include:

  • Self-custodial payout and deposit flow with granular approvals and automated signing.

  • Scalable infrastructure with queue-backed processing, idempotent APIs, and webhook retries to ensure reliability under heavy load.

  • Crypto-to-crypto swap support, enabling seamless asset conversions during withdrawals or treasury balancing.

  • Crypto-to-fiat settlement, letting Plaee auto-convert received crypto to stablecoins or fiat for accounting and liquidity management.

  • Structured refund process to handle underpayments, overpayments, or player wallet mismatches.

  • Cost optimization via network fee batching, EVM sweeping, and TRON energy management.

  • Clear documentation and professional support, reducing implementation time and operational friction.

Results

  • Dramatic growth in player funding activity: crypto deposits and withdrawals saw a significant increase in both frequency and average transaction size.

  • Reduced chargeback exposure: on-chain transactions replaced card payments, removing chargeback risk entirely.

  • Lower operational costs: no processor markup or card fees, and network usage optimized through batching and automation.

  • Faster time-to-market: Plaee deployed crypto payouts in weeks, not months, using the existing Terminal APIs and governance model.

  • Full control and transparency: all operations remain under Plaee’s direct custody, with auditable approvals and complete transaction visibility.
