Depositing at Online Casinos with PayNearMe – Fees and Limits

For the average person who plays casino games for fun, the fees and limits imposed by PayNearMe casino deposits are worth it. This is especially true when considering that the alternative is to drive to Atlantic City.

Credit and debit cards have a low acceptance rate at online casinos. Many people also don’t like to mix their "normal" expenses with their extracurricular expenses. Rather than open a separate bank account for your hobbies, many prefer cash as their chosen option for casino games.

The fact that you can walk into any participating store and make a cash deposit just like you would in a casino cage is a first with PayNearMe. Additionally, the acceptance rate for this payment method is virtually 100% as long as you have successfully set up your New Jersey online casino account.

Withdrawing at Online Casinos with PayNearMe – Fees and Limits

Can you use PayNearMe to withdraw your winnings easily and conveniently? Unfortunately, PayNearMe is hardly the way to go in this regard.

At the time of writing this guide, you cannot withdraw casino winnings using PayNearMe. This is strictly a deposit method, so you will have to look for alternative means of accessing your winnings. Fortunately, there are plenty of withdrawal methods you can use even if you do not have a debit or credit card. If you live near Atlantic City or visit regularly, you can still withdraw your winnings at the casino cage.

You can also request payment by check if you do not want to involve your bank or use your credit and debit cards. Keep in mind that many withdrawal options require you to have deposited money into your account via that same method.

Why use PayNearMe to play online?

Despite the inability to cash out, PayNearMe cannot be written off as a good option for depositing money at your online casino in New Jersey.

Safety and trust

PayNearMe is one of the safest options for depositing money at online casinos. You don’t have to divulge any of your financial information. Stringent online casino regulations in New Jersey also make it so that only legitimate casinos can offer this as a payment option.

Ease of use

Even those among us that are not tech-savvy can use PayNearMe. You don’t need to cram credit card numbers or jump through hoops for your payment processor to allow you to make casino deposits. PayNearMe is almost as easy as depositing cash at the casino cage.

Speed

PayNearMe deposits are available for use at the online casino as soon as the cashier has completed the transaction. You can start playing your favorite games as soon as you get back from the store. 7-Eleven stores are also open 24/7 so you can replenish your casino account any time you like.

Privacy

If you don’t like the idea of your casino transaction showing up on your bank statements or credit/debit card statements, PayNearMe is the way to go. The only trail you leave behind is the receipt you get after the transaction, which you can easily keep away from prying eyes. The receipt doesn’t contain any personal financial information.

PayNearMe Bill Pay App

The PayNearMe Bill Pay App caters to people who do not have or do not like to use their bank account or credit/debit cards. The mobile payment platform gets rid of printouts and receipts. Everything stays on your phone including your transaction history, and you can even set reminders to pay your bills.

How to Use PayNearMe to Play at the Casino

We have already covered the step-by-step method for using PayNearMe to fund your iGaming account, but there are a few more things you need to know to use this payment method at the casino.

First off, you do not need to sign up for any additional accounts besides your casino account. Everything is handled from the “Cashier” section of your casino account.

Secondly, the PayNearMe Bill Pay app allows you to keep all your payment history on your device if you would like to keep track of your casino spending.

Only those online casinos with approved iGaming platforms can use PayNearMe. A casino that lets you deposit money using this method must be licensed and regulated. Keep in mind that there is a nominal transaction fee, so bring some extra money with you to guarantee that you fund your account with the full amount that you had intended.
