Solving Global Payins and Payouts for the American Cornhole League
Payment Labs implemented a unified payments infrastructure for the American Cornhole League, automating cross-border payins and payouts, tax compliance, and participant support.
How Payment Labs Supports ACL’s Global Growth
The American Cornhole League has grown rapidly, hosting international tournaments, promoting leagues, and scaling membership programs. As the global governing body for professional, competitive, and recreational cornhole, ACL needed a comprehensive solution to manage payments across countries and currencies securely, cost-effectively, and in full compliance.
With thousands of participants in multiple countries, the organization faced a complex web of payment challenges, from processing entry and membership fees to handling tax data and distributing prize money efficiently. Traditional payment platforms couldn’t handle the combination of ACL’s business model, multi-currency transactions, integration with its wallet system, tax compliance, and live customer support.
Payment Labs was uniquely positioned to handle these challenges for ACL due to the company’s extensive experience automating similar processes for sports organizations. As a result, the platform transformed ACL’s payment operations from a cost center into a profit engine and a competitive advantage.
With Payment Labs, ACL relies on a payment partner that reduces operational costs and scales effortlessly with the organization’s global ambitions. By having all its payment needs reliably managed, the league can focus on growing cornhole as a sport.

Before Payment Labs, ACL was managing payments with two separate vendors for payins and payouts, with no built-in support for chargebacks or fraud claims. It was a fragmented experience that created unnecessary complexity for our team and our payees. Payment Labs changed that entirely. With one unified solution, we've streamlined reconciliation, accelerated payouts, and finally have the fraud and chargeback support we needed. The experience for both our internal team and our payees has improved significantly, and we no longer have to stitch together multiple platforms to get the job done. Payment Labs has been a true operational upgrade for ACL.
