About G2G and OffGamers

G2G and OffGamers are global gaming marketplaces that connect buyers and sellers of in-game items, digital goods, game credits, and gaming services across over 100 countries. Operating at this scale and with a mission to be the ultimate global ecosystem for gamers, G2G and OffGamers need payment infrastructure that strengthens seller trust, reduces friction at checkout, and supports expansion into new and emerging markets.

The challenge: Making digital currency payments secure and scalable

As G2G and OffGamers scaled, traditional payment acceptance and payout systems became a growing bottleneck. 

On the payout side, legacy banking meant:

  • Waiting days for transfers to clear
  • Heavy intermediary and transaction fees on every cross-border transaction
  • Banking hours and holidays that didn't align with a 24/7 marketplace that never stops

A seller in a developing market who finishes a job on a Friday night shouldn't have to wait until Tuesday to see their money, but that was the reality of relying on legacy banking.

“We deal with sellers in over 100 countries. Using legacy banking meant waiting days for transfers to clear, dealing with heavy intermediary fees, and most frustratingly, navigating banking hours.”
Ken Chee,
group CEO of G2G and OffGamers

On the acceptance side, digital goods and gaming are classified as high-risk categories by many credit card companies, which limits the payment options available to platforms like G2G and OffGamers. They needed an alternative payment rail that could reach players regardless of card network restrictions and enable growth in these emerging markets.

G2G and OffGamers needed a payment solution that matched the pace of their marketplace, and they assessed their options against three requirements: speed, cost, and compliance.

Instant, always-on payments and payouts

Gaming is a 24/7 economy, but banking isn't. Sellers’ payouts were restricted by cutoff times, weekends, and holidays, which created delays that directly impacted long-term trust in the platforms and marketplace liquidity. And for players making purchases, they’re far more likely to hold digital currencies than the general population — 55% of millennial gamers worldwide own crypto, compared to just 5% of all millennials (non-gamers).

However, checkout was limited to traditional payment methods that didn't reflect how these customers preferred to transact. G2G and OffGamers needed infrastructure that could process payments and send payouts in real time, at any hour, in the currencies their players already used and regardless of where they (and sellers) were located.

Lower cost on cross-border transactions

Every international payout carried intermediary fees and currency conversion markups that ate into what sellers actually received. Meanwhile, accepting cross-border card payments added all of those traditional fees, too: processing fees, currency conversion costs, and chargeback exposure on every transaction. At the scale that G2G and OffGamers operate, the costs of accepting traditional payment methods and getting paid out compounded quickly across markets.

Compliance without operational complexity

Any new payment infrastructure had to meet regulatory standards across multiple jurisdictions without creating operational bottlenecks or requiring the team to build crypto expertise in-house. G2G and OffGamers needed a partner that could handle the compliance complexity behind the scenes so the team could stay focused on the platform experience.

The solution: Stablecoin infrastructure that matches the pace of a 24/7 marketplace

G2G and OffGamers partnered with Triple-A to integrate a global stablecoin infrastructure into their live production environment. Now, they have a single, borderless payment rail for accepting digital currency payments from buyers and settling payouts to sellers worldwide, without disrupting operations or managing compliance in-house.

Near-instant, 24/7 settlements

Integrating Triple-A's stablecoin rails alongside existing payment infrastructure unlocked faster money movement  across corridors where traditional banking is slowest and most expensive. Payments from buyers and payouts to sellers now settle almost instantly upon approval, with no cutoff times, banking holidays, or weekend delays. For a marketplace that operates 24/7, the infrastructure finally matches the pace of the platform.

We’ve drastically accelerated our turnaround times, allowing us to handle higher volumes while building deep trust with sellers through faster earnings.”
Ken Chee,
group CEO of G2G and OffGamers

Lower-cost cross-border payments and payouts at scale

Stablecoin rails gave G2G and OffGamers a way to bypass the intermediary banks and currency conversion markups that inflated the cost of cross-border transactions, both when accepting payments from buyers and settling payouts to sellers. In corridors where traditional fees hit hardest, the result is a leaner cost structure that works seamlessly across 100+ countries and scales with the platforms’ high volume of transactions.

“We’re no longer limited by traditional financial borders which is essential for operating a truly global, 24/7 gaming marketplace.
Ken Chee,
group CEO of G2G and OffGamers

Compliance infrastructure without operational overhead or disruption

Triple-A's regulatory licenses across the US, EU, and Southeast Asia gave G2G and OffGamers the compliance foundation to accept and send stablecoin payments across jurisdictions, without needing to build that capability internally. The integration operated like any modern API so there was no disruption to the live platform and no need for the team to manage crypto wallets, private keys, or navigate evolving digital asset regulations on their own.

The results: Increase in transaction volume and faster payouts

With Triple-A's stablecoin infrastructure, G2G and OffGamers removed the friction that was limiting scale, slowing settlement, and eroding seller trust - particularly in the emerging markets where their marketplace was growing fastest. And the numbers prove it.

  • 190% increase in transaction volume: Since adopting stablecoin payment infrastructure, G2G and OffGamers recorded a 190% increase in transaction volume YoY, reflecting strong and sustained user uptake of digital payment rails across the platform
  • Steady growth in stablecoin adoption: Share of total transactions in stablecoins on G2G and OffGamers grew 5% YoY, indicating a growing base of users prefer stablecoin-based payments as part of their marketplace experience
  • Near-instant payout settlement: For the countries where access to traditional banking systems was limited, G2G moved from timelines of T+1 to T+3 to payouts that settle in seconds to minutes, with no banking intermediaries involved. This represents a near-complete elimination of payout delays
  • Stronger seller trust at scale: Faster, more reliable settlement has enabled G2G and OffGamers to deepen long-term trust and improve retention with their global seller base
Triple-A is a licensed institution, which gives us a lot of peace of mind… They handled the complexity of the rails so we could focus on the user experience.”
