MVP Development for iGaming Payments Platform
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
Project Brief — iGamingPayments.ai (Vibe-Coded MVP)
Overview
I’m building a lean MVP for an iGaming payments discovery platform focused on:
PSPs
high-risk payment providers
crypto processors
acquiring banks
fraud/KYC providers
The platform helps iGaming operators:
discover providers
compare solutions
filter by risk/licensing/GEO
submit inquiries
use payment calculators/tools
This is a fast-moving validation project.
The goal is NOT enterprise perfection.
The goal is:
speed
SEO
structured data
lead generation
rapid iteration
---
Build Philosophy (IMPORTANT)
This project should be:
AI-assisted
vibe-coded
MVP-first
lean and fast to iterate
I do NOT want:
overengineering
bloated architecture
unnecessary complexity
I want:
clean structured data
fast development
modular architecture
ability to expand later
