You need more than a processor — you need a partner.

If you run a sweepstakes or lottery business, you already know how hard it can be to find a reliable payment processor. Traditional banks and processors shy away, classifying these businesses as high-risk. Without a dependable partner, you risk frozen funds, account shutdowns, and frustrated customers. BIG makes sweepstakes and lottery payment processing simple, secure, and compliant — so you can focus on growth while we handle the complexities.

Why choose BIG for sweepstakes & lottery

When traditional banks and processors shy away, BIG steps up with the expertise and infrastructure your sweepstakes or lottery business needs.

Why sweepstakes operators stay with BIG.

Hands-on support from application to integration — not a generic helpdesk ticket. Your account manager knows your sweepstakes model and answers their phone.

03

Future-proof technology stack

Advanced gateways, tokenization, and cryptocurrency acceptance — built for the way sweepstakes and lottery businesses actually operate today, not how they operated in 2010.

A great help to our canna business.

We have been using Bankcard PIN Debit system for 1 year now and it has been a great help to our canna business. Not only by significantly reducing the amount of cash handling but also by boosting our ADS, and on top of this they have a fast responding help team. Thanks Shane and team.
