Gr4vy

Gr4vy was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in San Mateo, California, US. Its founder John Lunn previously led developer relations at PayPal and Braintree, and the company serves global, North American, European and APAC merchants.

Its architectural distinction is that every merchant runs on a dedicated single-tenant cloud instance rather than shared infrastructure. Gambling is served case by case rather than as a core vertical.

For operators

For gambling operators that Gr4vy accepts, the platform orchestrates Visa and Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal, Trustly, iDEAL, Sofort, giropay, BLIK, Przelewy24, open banking and bank transfer across connected PSPs. Gambling e-wallets, vouchers and crypto are not listed in our facts, so it is best viewed as a general-purpose orchestrator that can be used by licensed operators with mainstream method mixes.

Integration

Gr4vy publishes a REST API, an Embed JS component and SDKs, deployed on a dedicated single-tenant cloud instance per merchant. Pricing is SaaS and on request.

Licences & compliance

Gr4vy lists PCI DSS Level 1 certification. It does not hold funds or acquiring licences, and gambling acceptance is assessed case by case.

  • PCI DSS Level 1

Pros

  • Dedicated single-tenant cloud instance per merchant
  • Cloud-native platform with a developer-centric API and Embed JS
  • Covers key European bank methods, BLIK and Przelewy24

Cons

  • Gambling only case by case
  • No gambling e-wallets, vouchers or crypto listed
  • Pricing on request

Verdict

Gr4vy suits licensed operators and groups with strong engineering teams that want isolated infrastructure and modern orchestration for mainstream methods. Operators needing a gambling-native cashier with e-wallets and crypto should look at iGaming-focused platforms.
