Market snapshot: El Salvador
North America is two very different markets. The US splits between state-regulated operators and the offshore .com segment, where USDT and crypto rails do most of the volume. Canada is increasingly regulated (Ontario's iGaming market is the model), while Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean lean on Spanish-language localisation, SPEI/OXXO-style bank rails, and USDT for high rollers.
Why generic aggregators fail in El Salvador
- US-facing offshore brands need fast, reliable crypto rails — USDT TRC-20 deposits and withdrawals are the de facto standard.
- Spanish localisation is not optional across Latin America and the Caribbean: lobbies, cashier and support copy must ship natively in Spanish.
- Regulated markets (Ontario, and several US states) require licensed content and geo-fenced catalogues — the API must support per-market game filtering.
- Bank-rail deposits (SPEI, Interac, ACH) dominate regulated segments — integrate them before spending on acquisition.
GamingAPI was built for exactly these conditions: a native USD wallet layer, per-market game filtering, and settlement that keeps the internal ledger in USDT while players always see $ USD.
Currency: how USD should be handled
Show every balance, bet and payout in US Dollar ($) — players in El Salvador abandon cashiers that quote foreign currency. Keep the internal ledger in USDT, convert only at deposit and withdrawal, and never apply FX per bet: per-bet conversion destroys GGR reporting accuracy. GamingAPI stores the wallet in USD natively and converts GGR charges through a live exchange-rate table, so your revenue share is always calculated on the real local amount.
