On June 15, 2026, Nuvei announced an agreement to buy Payoneer. The deal is expected to close in mid-2027, once shareholders and regulators approve it. A corporate change of that size is one of the ordinary reasons a licensed sportsbook or online casino reviews its payment setup, along with adding a second provider or comparing quotes. That review starts with knowing which providers could take over some or all of what Nuvei does.

The six alternatives here each cover a different part of that job. The answer changes with the operator's mix of sportsbook and casino play and with the payment rail it relies on most today.

How to Choose a Nuvei Alternative

Start With the Sportsbook and Casino Mix

The first question is what the operator runs. Some operators run only a sportsbook, some run only an online casino gaming, and many run both under one brand, sometimes with poker or daily fantasy sports beside them. Providers differ on which of these they support. An operator with only a sportsbook can skip any provider that doesn't serve sportsbooks, and one with a broad mix can favor providers that cover every part of it.

Then Pick the Rail and the Payout Speed

The second question is which rail is being replaced. On the card side, Worldpay, Paysafe and Finix each accept card deposits for gaming operators. On the bank side, Trustly moves deposits and withdrawals directly between a player's bank account and the operator. For cash, PayNearMe lets players pay at retail stores, and for a player wallet, Sightline Payments offers a prepaid account.

Payout speed comes last, meaning how quickly winnings must reach players. Bank payouts can run over instant networks or over overnight transfers, and push-to-card payouts use the card networks to put winnings on a player's debit card. An operator that pays out mostly by bank looks at the bank-side providers first, while one that pays out mostly to cards looks at the card-side providers' payout products.

1. Worldpay

Worldpay takes over Nuvei's card-processing role directly. It offers global acquiring and payout products, with card payments taken both online and in stores. Its clients include sportsbook and casino brands, so a brand running both products can keep them with one card provider.

Global Payments now owns Worldpay, and the Worldpay brand is moving to the Global Payments name in stages expected to finish in 2027. Its APIs haven't changed since the acquisition, and the Worldpay brand and developer tools stay in place while the change runs its course. The new name alone should not force a new integration.

Gaming pricing and state coverage both come from a direct quote.

For an operator comparing Worldpay with Nuvei, the main question is scope. Worldpay's gaming offer centers on card payments, payouts, routing and fraud tools, so an operator that relies on Nuvei's bank transfers should ask what Worldpay offers in their place.

2. Paysafe

Paysafe replaces Nuvei's card processing and brings player payment methods of its own. Players can use the Skrill and Neteller wallets, or pay in cash through PaysafeCard and PaysafeCash. That mix suits an operator that wants several ways for players to pay from one company.

In April 2026, Paysafe launched Pay with Crypto for iGaming operators and daily fantasy sports brands in the US market, offered where permitted and powered by MoonPay. Nuvei also takes crypto, so an operator that uses that part of Nuvei's service has somewhere to move it.

Paysafe's latest news about entering specific states dates from 2023, so an operator should check its own states with Paysafe one by one.

Paysafe's iGaming pricing is quoted per operator, like Nuvei's.

3. Trustly

Trustly replaces the bank-transfer part of Nuvei's service. Its Pay by Bank product takes deposits directly from a player's bank account, and Trustly Payouts sends withdrawals back to that account, which gives sportsbooks and casinos the same bank route in both directions.

Trustly was founded in Stockholm in 2008. Its network reaches more than 12,000 banks and handles $100 billion a year across its markets.

Trustly takes no card payments, so an operator that moves bank traffic to Trustly still needs a card processor beside it, whether that stays Nuvei or becomes another provider on this list.

Its gaming products cover casino play and sports betting alike, so the sportsbook and casino mix does not narrow the choice here.

4. Finix

Finix can take over Nuvei's card processing for an operator that runs more than a sportsbook or a casino. Along with online casino and slots and sports betting, it serves poker and skill-based games and daily fantasy sports, so a brand with several of these can keep them all with one processor. Winnings reach a player's debit card over Visa Direct or Mastercard Send.

Its reach is narrower than Nuvei's. Finix works with businesses in the US and Canada only, and a US account needs a physical presence in the country itself, not a US territory. Nuvei serves operators in many more countries.

5. PayNearMe

PayNearMe adds cash to the options a Nuvei replacement can offer, with cash payments at retail locations alongside cards, bank transfers and mobile wallets, all through one integration. Gaming is one of several industries it serves, beside lending, tolling, mortgage and credit unions, so its product is not built for gaming alone.

Players can be paid in near real time to a debit card or digital wallet, or overnight to a bank account, so one provider covers both payout speeds. Saracen Casino Resort is among the casinos that use it.

6. Sightline Payments

Sightline Payments offers a funding and wallet alternative to part of Nuvei's service through its Sightline Prepaid account, also known as Play+. It is not a card acquirer and cannot take over Nuvei's card processing. Since 2024 it has worked with GeoComply, using IDComply and GeoComply Core for identity and location checks. Sightline is live in 44 states across its gaming channels, which include casino floors as well as online play.

Picking an Alternative by Sportsbook or Casino Mix

The starting point is the rail that handles most of an operator's Nuvei volume. If most of it is card volume, Worldpay, Paysafe or Finix can take over the card side directly, and the other rails can follow later. If a large share is bank or cash volume, Trustly or PayNearMe can be added beside the current setup first, which leaves the card side in place while the new rail is tested.

The product mix then narrows the list. An operator with sportsbook and casino play under one brand can use any of the card-side providers, while one that also runs poker or daily fantasy sports should confirm the provider supports those products before asking for a quote. Payout speed settles the last choice. An operator that pays mostly to debit cards can compare the card providers' push-to-card products, and one that pays mostly by bank can compare how fast Trustly and PayNearMe get winnings to players.
