Instead, Paysafecard works on a voucher system, so you simply key in the 16-digit code you get when you buy the Paysafecard voucher, and the casino will check it against the Paysafecard database, see it\u2019s valid, and credit your account.<\/p>\n<p>This makes deposits instant, and means there\u2019s no chance of the bank refusing your transaction. It\u2019s just like when you used to top-up your mobile phone using the pay-as-you-go vouchers (although you don\u2019t have to endure the tedious phone call).\u00a0Paysafecard is often favoured thanks to its secure nature \u2013 as long as you don\u2019t physically give away the 16-digit code printed on the voucher, it\u2019s impossible for anyone to steal your funds. You virtually isolate yourself from all risks associated with making online payments \u2013 and another BIG benefit that many players like, is that using Paysafecard means your bank\/card statements won\u2019t show casino transactions \u2013 ideal for those who are both privacy-centred, and who like to gamble privately.<\/p>\n<p>While Paysafecard hasn\u2019t gone onto see the same levels of success as other online payment methods, such as PayPal, or Skrill, it\u2019s a viable option for those who value their privacy, and who don\u2019t have\/don\u2019t want to use a Debit or Credit Card.\u00a0Best of all, the majority of online casinos accept Paysafecard, due to its popularity with players, and topping up\/funding your online casino account is simple \u2013 just find a local store near you that sells Paysafecard, choose your amount, and enter the 16-digit code you get, online. That\u2019s it! Your funds will instantly be credited to your online casino account, and you\u2019re ready to play!<\/p>\n<p>Withdrawals, however, are where Paysafecard falls short, as you whilst you can deposit using Paysafecard, you cannot withdraw. We will discuss this further onto the article, but first we&#8217;ll take a look at why<\/p>\n<h2>Why Use Paysafecard?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Widely Accepted<\/li>\n<li>Instant Deposits<\/li>\n<li>Helps control your gambling<\/li>\n<li>Safe and secure<\/li>\n<li>Stops gambling transactions appearing on bank statements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"wideimage\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paysafecard.com\/en-gb\/use\/sports-betting\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-202\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casinosites.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/paysafecard-bet.jpg\" alt=\"Paysafecard for Betting\" width=\"740\" height=\"442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casinosites.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/paysafecard-bet.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.casinosites.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/paysafecard-bet-300x179.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Casinos That Accept Paysafecard<\/h2>\n<p>The number of online casinos that accept Paysafecard as a payment method is substantial \u2013 and you shouldn\u2019t have any problems finding a casino of your preference that accepts it readily. Below, we\u2019ve put together a table of the most reputable online casinos that accept Paysafecard.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Use Paysafecard<\/h2>\n<p>Paysafecard is unlike most EWallets and Pre-paid cards in the sense that you don\u2019t have a physical login area, or debit card that you can then spend\/add funds to and from. Instead, Paysafecard is a voucher-based system, and it\u2019s really easy to use! Just follow the steps below:<\/p>\n<h3>#1 Topping up Paysafecard<\/h3>\n<p>While it sounds like you have a card that you simply top-up when you feel like it, that\u2019s not the case with Paysafecard. In order to purchase a Paysafecard voucher, you\u2019ll need to find a local store or shop that sells them. You can\u2019t buy the vouchers online, so you\u2019ll need to physically go out and buy them. There are a large number of stores involved in the Paysafecard scheme, so finding somewhere to buy the vouchers shouldn\u2019t be too hard; you can see a list of all stores enrolled in the program &lt;LINK&gt;here&lt;\/LINK&gt;.<\/p>\n<p>You then simply head to the retailer, state how much you want the value of the voucher to be, and then pay for it. You\u2019ll then receive a long receipt, which contains your 16-digit code. Keep this safe, as you\u2019ll need this to deposit your funds with the casino.<\/p>\n<h3>#2 Using Paysafecard to Deposit at an Online Casino<\/h3>\n<p>Once you\u2019re ready to deposit, simply head to your chosen online casino, open up the deposit page, and select the Paysafecard option \u2013 you\u2019ll then be prompted to input your 16-digit code, and once you\u2019ve done so, and pressed submit, you should see your casino account credited right away. It really is that simple \u2013 there\u2019s nothing too it!<\/p>\n<h3>#3 Withdrawing Using Paysafecard<\/h3>\n<p>Like we said, while you can deposit using Paysafecard, you can\u2019t withdraw using it \u2013 and this presents a unique problem for some players.\u00a0Now, if you\u2019re already active on a casino website, and simply want to change your method of depositing, you can use Paysafecard to deposit, and continue to withdraw using your regular method.\u00a0If, however, you\u2019re new to online gambling, or want to sign up at a new online casino and use Paysafecard to deposit, you\u2019ll have to choose another payment method to withdraw to.<\/p>\n<p>This means you\u2019ll need to either provide your Debit \/ Credit card details, or give your bank details so a direct transfer can be made. Some online casinos may pay you via a cheque, but this is a general inconvenience, for both casino and player.\u00a0If you\u2019re extremely serious conscious, and don\u2019t want to provide any of your banking details, you may be better of looking at another depositing method \u2013 Bitcoin is one that provides complete anonymity, and you can read our guide to using it here.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wideimage\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paysafecard.com\/en-gb\/buy\/find-sales-outlets\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-203\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casinosites.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/paysafecard-search.jpg\" alt=\"Finding Retailers Who Sell Paysafecard Near You\" width=\"740\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casinosites.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/paysafecard-search.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.casinosites.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/paysafecard-search-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Advantages of Using Paysafecard<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Easy to Use:<\/strong> Paysafecard is incredibly simple to buy, and use, and all it requires is you to head to your local retailer, buy your voucher, and input the code online \u2013 that\u2019s it!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Secure:<\/strong>\u00a0Paysafecard is one of the safer ways to deposit money to your preferred online casino; there\u2019s no need to link your bank account or Debit\/Credit cards, and you can pay cash when you buy the voucher, essentially removing any \u201cfinancial trail\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flexible Deposits:<\/strong>\u00a0You can choose exactly how much you want to deposit when you purchase the voucher \u2013 there\u2019s no restraints, unlike with other payment methods.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Control:<\/strong>\u00a0Tend to lose control slightly when experiencing a losing session? With Paysafecard, unless you live right next door to the shop, you can\u2019t continue to spend. Not only does this protect you from angry\/frustrated sessions, but it also allows you to plan in advance how much you want to gamble.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Almost Always Accepted:<\/strong>\u00a0The vast majority of online casinos accept Paysafecard, which ensures you can play at the casino of your choice, and not be forced into using a shady, illegitimate casino, simply to use the deposit method of your choice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Disadvantages of Using Paysafecard<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>No Withdraw Function:<\/strong> By far the biggest downside of using Paysafecard, is that you can\u2019t withdraw using the method. You\u2019ll need to use another payment method in order to withdraw funds from your online casino account.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Physical Purchase:<\/strong> While also being listed in the \u201cPros\u201d section, Paysafecard can also be seen as a disadvantage to some players, as it requires you to go out and purchase it in \u201creal life\u201d. This is obviously an issue for those that don\u2019t live near a retailer that offers Paysafecard.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lost Voucher:<\/strong> If you misplace your voucher between purchasing it, and getting home, you generally have no chance of getting your funds back, so always ensure you place your voucher somewhere safe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While Paysafecard has its downsides, overall it\u2019s a fantastic way to deposit to online casinos, and offers a nice in-between classic Debit \/ Credit card payments, and other EWallets. If you\u2019re playing in the UK you\u2019ll have no problems finding a retailer that sells Paysafecard vouchers, and thanks to its simplicity, it\u2019s really simple to use. So long as you can find a way to withdraw from your chosen online casino, Paysafecard is a great choice if you\u2019re looking for increased anonymity and security, and should be considered by ALL players playing online.
