its a very general question. You can accept bitcoin by giving a qrcode of an address to user in your website and put a listener on that address through a simple API like blockchain.info (If you dont wanna run your full node) that gets triggered when the address gets a transaction. That's what bitpay does and it very simple

For a gaming website you should use bitcoind JSON-RPC. Pretty much every API service frowns on gaming sites, so it's best just to host your own.

If you 100% want to use an API maybe try blocktrail, I don't believe they are as strict about gaming usage. Also block.io, however there's a monthly fee, but their API is one of the easiest to setup and use.

In my book, [Building Bitcoin Websites](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/153494544X), I go over creating a simple gaming site and it uses bitcoind JSON-RPC to handle funds.
