On August 7, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order titled “Guaranteeing Fair Banking For All Americans,” aimed at curbing what the administration describes as “politicized or unlawful debanking.” This order prohibits federal banking regulators from allowing financial institutions to deny services based on customers’ political or religious beliefs, or their involvement in lawful business activities. While the Trump EO primarily targets traditional banks, its broad language has sparked excitement in the gaming community, where payment processors like Mastercard and Visa have long been accused of content censorship by pressuring platforms to restrict or delist adult-oriented or controversial games.
