Question about accepting payments

    I'm in the process of setting up a handicapping site for sports betting which provides users with daily picks on a range of games. One of the biggest issues is being able to provide the customer with a quick payment option and giving them the ability to receive the pick within seconds of making the payment.

    So I wanted to ask the experts on this board what would be a good option of doing this? Lets say for example, I have a third-party that accepts the payment than redirects the user to pick of the day without giving access to random people but only to people that just paid...

    Also, what would be some reputable companies to go through in order to do so? And do they provide solutions in order for me to make this possible?

    For any sportsbetting, you have to us an offshore processor which is very expensive.

    I would research payment systems that accept sportsbetting, and see what they can offer. Most offshore processors have their own payment gateways, which you will need to integrate with. In these cases someone would pay with a credit or other card and your system could automatically give them their balance assuming that their transaction was approved.

    This doesn't accept bets for sports betting. It gives people advice on what to bet on.
