Square

Square (now part of Block, Inc.) is a San Francisco-based SMB payment platform founded in 2009. The company provides mobile-first payment processing with integrated solutions, focusing on small and medium-sized businesses with cards, mobile payments, ACH, and e-wallet capabilities.

Square's platform is built mobile-first, with integrated hardware and software solutions that make payment processing accessible to SMBs. The company's developer-friendly approach and SMB focus have made it popular among small businesses, though its gaming-specific integration is limited.

While Square is not iGaming-native, its mobile-first architecture and developer-friendly APIs make it relevant for gaming operators who need mobile payment processing capabilities. Its SMB focus means it is best suited to smaller operators rather than enterprise-scale gaming businesses.
