How do I deposit at an online casino using PaySafecard? Tips and Tricks

While you’ll be aware that most online casinos offer free games in demo mode, you won’t get the real excitement of the game until you deposit money. There are several ways to deposit money into an online casino. We’ll take a look at one of the less common ones, which is Paysafecard. If you want to learn more about it, keep reading.

What is Paysafecard?

Since Paysafecard is not a very common payment method, chances are you’ve never come across the term before. Simply put, however, it is a prepaid PIN with 16 numbers. It carries a certain amount of money, which you can then use to make one-time deposits to online casinos, make in-app purchases, and so on. These PINs are entered into your Paysafecard account, which then essentially works like an online wallet.

The big advantage of these PINs is their anonymity. You can buy these codes at selected petrol stations, newsagents or supermarket checkouts. As a result, they are essentially a way to top up your casino with cash, but they are not subject to the same limits. Still, at the moment, you have to deposit these credits into your Paysafecard account before you can top up from there.

Paysafecard voucher values

It is important to stress that Paysafecard works throughout Europe and some countries outside Europe. Each country has set the value of its coupons according to its requirements. Therefore, the value of the coupons will be different in the Czech Republic and different in Germany. In general, however, the value of Paysafecard coupons ranges from €5 to €150 and the equivalent in the currencies of the individual countries.

For example, the following Paysafecard coupons are currently available in the Czech Republic:

• 200 Kč
• 500 Kč
• 1 200 Kč
• 2 500 Kč

Paysafecard deposit to online casinos | Restrictions, limits and fees

It cannot be universally said that all online casinos charge fees when you deposit with Paysafecard. However, this is a fairly common practice, mainly due to the fact that processing a Paysafecard payment is more complicated for the casino itself. You can usually see a fee of around 5% of the transaction. That really doesn’t have to be much.

Another pitfall is the various restrictions and limits. You usually can’t deposit more than €250 (or about £6,000) in a single transaction into the Paysafecard account itself. In addition, coupons only have a one-year validity, so you need to remember them and transfer them to your account on time. The casinos themselves also limit deposits using Paysafecard

Which casinos can I deposit to using Paysafecard?

As we have mentioned several times in our article, depositing with Paysafecard is definitely not available everywhere. For example, in Czech online casinos, depositing with Paysafecard is only available in:

• Chance casinu
• Tipsport casinu
• Apollo Games casinu
• Betano casinu
• Loterie Korunka casino
• Herna u dědka
• MerkurXtip

Foreign casinos are no exception, where Paysafecard is available mainly at larger providers with a large number of clients. However, we do not recommend playing in these casinos as they are not licensed by the Ministry of Finance and therefore cannot be trusted as much.

Other deposit methods

You don’t have to worry that if you can’t find a Paysafecard at the casino, you won’t be able to deposit your money. In fact, there are quite a number of other deposit options that are often better options. These include:

Payment cards

• Bank transfer
• SMS deposit – Neterapay
• Deposit at a branch
• Apple pay
• Skrill
• Neteller
• Paysafecard
• Google Pay
• PayPal
• Revolut

Bonuses for depositing via Paysafecard

Although Paysafecard cannot be used as a traditional payment method for verification, don’t worry about missing out on deposit bonuses. These are valid even for depositing with Paysafecard and you just need to comply with all their terms and conditions. However, the only problem can arise due to the limits on Paysafecard, which often make it impossible to use the bonus to the maximum.
