We’re excited to share that Voltage has officially joined the Fantasy Sports & Gaming Association (FSGA), the premier trade organization representing the interests of fantasy sports, sports betting, sweepstakes, and online gaming operators across North America.
As real-money gaming continues to evolve into a global, mobile-first experience, the need for modern payments infrastructure has never been greater. Instant games require instant money, and that’s what we’re here to help make possible.
Why We Joined the FSGA
Voltage is excited to bring our expertise in Lightning Network-based payment infrastructure to a growing ecosystem of innovative fantasy and iGaming platforms.
By becoming part of the FSGA, we’re doubling down on our active commitment to help operators:
- Eliminate chargeback risk with irreversible, final payments
- Settle funds instantly, both into and out of platforms
- Reduce payout friction with near-zero transaction fees
- Enhance the player experience with seamless, real-time withdrawals
We are seeing today how Lightning-powered payments can unlock new player behaviors, reduce fraud, improve retention, and increase profitability for operators. Whether you're building daily fantasy contests, peer-to-peer prediction markets, or global sportsbook ecosystems.
Perfect Timing: Google Play’s Shift + ICE Barcelona on the Horizon
This momentum comes at a pivotal moment: just 2 days ago, the Google Play Store announced support for third-party payment systems in real-money gaming apps. This opens the door for operators to move beyond legacy processors and finally integrate settlement-optimized rails like Lightning into native mobile experiences.
It’s a massive opportunity for the entire FSGA community to leap forward, offering players instant gratification payouts, higher trust, and borderless access without the operational drag of cards and banks.
And as we look ahead, we’re especially excited to bring this conversation to the global stage at ICE Barcelona in January 2026. We’ll be there to meet with fellow builders, showcase how Lightning unlocks true instant cashout experiences, and help define the next chapter of global iGaming.
Building the Payout Standard the Industry Deserves
Fantasy and gaming platforms have always innovated in gameplay, now it’s time to innovate in settlement infrastructure.
Joining the FSGA marks a new chapter for Voltage. We’re here to partner with fantasy platforms, sportsbooks, sweepstakes operators, and real-money apps who want to build a winning culture around speed, trust, and player delight.
We look forward to contributing to the FSGA community, collaborating with leaders across the industry, and helping redefine what fast, fair, and global real-money gaming can look like in 2026 and beyond.
We are excited to see what you build in the future with instant settlement, together.
