AviaGames adds Visa card payouts for eligible US players

AviaGames said on November 12 that eligible US players can receive payouts from its mobile games directly to eligible Visa cards. The AviaGames Visa payouts integration is available now, according to a paid Business Wire release carried by Yahoo Finance.

The arrangement brings together AviaGames, which operates the games, Visa Direct, which provides the card-payout capability, and Global Payments, AviaGames’ payment service provider. The companies did not specify the criteria used to determine which players or cards are eligible.

How do AviaGames Visa payouts work?

Visa Direct allows operators to send payments through Visa’s network to eligible cards. Under the announced arrangement, Global Payments provides the payment infrastructure through which AviaGames connected to Visa Direct, the release said.

That means a qualifying payout can be directed to an eligible player’s Visa card rather than requiring the player to use a separate payment process. AviaGames said the option is intended to make access to winnings more convenient, while Global Payments said familiar payment methods can improve the payout experience. Those are company statements, rather than independently measured outcomes.

Visa Direct can support real-time payouts, according to the announcement, but the companies cautioned that money may not become available at the same speed in every case. Availability can depend on the receiving financial institution, account type, region and compliance processes, among other factors.

Who can receive payouts to a Visa card?

The launch applies only to eligible US players using eligible Visa cards. The announcement does not set out the detailed eligibility requirements or identify which cards qualify.

AviaGames’ separate terms of service state that US users must be at least 18, have a US address, be physically located in the country and be in a jurisdiction where use of the service and selected competitions is permitted. The terms also say the company does not offer cash-entry competitions to users accessing its services from Arkansas, Delaware, Louisiana, South Carolina, South Dakota or Puerto Rico.

The terms, last updated in August 2025, say AviaGames may seek proof of eligibility and may restrict access when it cannot verify a user’s location. They do not establish eligibility for the newly announced Visa-card payout option.

What AviaGames said about the launch

Vickie Chen, AviaGames’ co-founder and chief executive, said the company wanted players who win to be able to access payouts with confidence. Phil Pomford, executive lead for Enterprise APAC at Global Payments, said the payout stage had become a more prominent part of the customer experience.

AviaGames describes itself as a female-founded mobile gaming company. Its release said its titles, including Solitaire Clash, 8 Ball Strike and Bingo Tour, have recorded more than 80 million downloads globally. PYMNTS separately reported the November 12 announcement and described the same three-company structure.
