Stripe as a Payment Method in Casinos
Stripe is offered in more than 26 countries at the time of this writing. Most of these countries are in Europe and America, so you will have to look elsewhere if you live in Russia, most of Asia, all of Africa and most of the Middle East and Eastern Europe. I would say that local restrictions are one of the biggest drawbacks of Stripe, but from a business point of view, it is clear that Stripe is trying to avoid the highest risk in the world. Having said that, Stripe recently released a private beta for India. Thus, it is obvious that the payment processor is trying to enter potentially more risky markets and find out how to provide its services to merchants all over the world.
